#221 Yanyin Moonlight Ultra: $1289 eBay
Pros: A dynamic, four balanced armature and four electrostatic flagship with a preference score of 78 as the median of three measurements. Bass and midrange stay within about 0.5 dB of target, and two tuning switches per shell adjust the sound.
Cons: Treble from 5 to 8 kHz sits 4.5 dB low with a 6.8 dB dip near 5.9 kHz, so it can sound smooth but slightly dull. It is sold out at $1289, with only preorders available.
Is the Yanyin Moonlight Ultra right for you?
Buy it if
- you want the tuning most listeners prefer in blind tests out of the box (Harman score 78).
- your taste runs warm: it scores 86 for that sound.
- you are sensitive to bright or sharp treble (treble sits 3.0 dB below target).
- you want sub-bass rumble that reaches down to 20 Hz.
Skip it if
- you want the best value: the higher-rated QCY HT05 MeloBuds ANC costs about $1,255 less.

Frequency Response
How the Yanyin Moonlight Ultra 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: the median of 3 independent measurements from the squig.link databases of animagus, hbb and yanyin. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
