#741 iBasso AM05 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lower mids sit within about 0.5 dB of target, keeping voices and guitars natural. It uses 5 x balanced armature with an easy 32 ohm load.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. Presence sits about 3.5 dB low with a 6.6 dB dip near 2.9 kHz, so vocals and instruments lose some bite. A 6.4 dB peak near 8.4 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 8.4 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble. A Harman score of 54 places it in the lower part of the in-ear rankings.
