#182 ThieAudio Ghost Discontinued eBay
Pros: Measured response gives it a solid Harman preference score of 74 with a 2.62 dB spread. Upper treble lifts about 2.9 dB for extra air and sparkle. It uses 1 x 40mm dynamic (sapphire composite).
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 3.7 dB low with a 9.8 dB dip near 9.6 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 5.5 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 10.6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
