#384 Tangzu Shimin Li Encounter Discontinued eBay
Pros: A budget single dynamic IEM made with SeeAudio that measures well (score 73).
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Treble sits about 3.3 dB below target, so it sounds dark, and its score rests on three measurements.

Frequency Response
How the Tangzu Shimin Li Encounter measures across the audible range, against the Harman in-ear target that most listeners prefer in blind tests. Where the line sits above the target that range sounds louder (more bass, brighter treble), below it quieter. The curve is the median of 3 independent measurements, so one odd sample or rig cannot skew it, and both lines are shifted so their 500 Hz to 2 kHz average sits at 0 dB.
Measurement data: median of 3 measurements from the squig.link databases of aftersound, practiphile and timmyv. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
