#1089 Yanyin Baker: $499.00 Linsoul $499.00 eBay
Pros: A hybrid with six balanced armatures and two planar drivers whose bass and midrange track the Harman target within 2 dB, with sub bass reaching to 20 Hz. The tuning is smooth and relaxed, suited to long listening sessions.
Cons: Treble from 2 to 8 kHz sits about 4 to 7 dB under target, with a 9 dB dip near 6.5 kHz, so it sounds dark and lacks detail. Low 104 dB sensitivity and 8 ohm impedance want a capable source, and the AKG N5005 scores far higher at a similar price.
Is the Yanyin Baker right for you?
Buy it if
- you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 5.6 dB below target).
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
- you are happy to use EQ: our preset lifts its Harman match by about 25 points.
Skip it if
- you want the best value: the higher-rated EPZ G10 costs about $475 less.

Frequency Response
How the Yanyin Baker 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 5 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 5 measurements from the squig.link databases of bassaudio, breampike, hbb, iemocean and soundcheck39. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
