#278 ZMF Aeolus: $1,199 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A handmade open-back with wooden cups and a 50mm dynamic driver, and its midrange tracks the Harman target.
Cons: Discontinued by ZMF, so it is mainly found used. Bass falls about 4 dB below target and 8 dB short at 30 Hz, treble is about 4 dB low, and the 300 ohm load needs a capable amplifier. See headphone amps and DACs with enough power to drive it.
