#964 Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Extra Bass: $199.99 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A bass-tuned hybrid earphone with good passive isolation (rated 16 dB).
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. It measures far from the target (Harman score 24, 5.26 dB spread) with heavy bass and a strongly dark tilt, so most listeners will hear it as muddy. The cable is fixed.
