#1037 ZHULINNIAO JINGHONG: 9.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: A published AutoEQ preset corrects its response toward the Harman target, so a few minutes of EQ setup closes most of the gap.
Cons: Treble about 2 dB above target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound sharp or tiring at higher volume. An uneven response, 2.9 dB standard deviation from target.

Frequency Response
How the ZHULINNIAO JINGHONG 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 4 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 4 measurements from the squig.link databases of aftersound, hobbytalk, ianfann and pw. Thanks to each of them for publishing their work.
