I find it remarkable that even the most expensive ones have rather poor
specs. The frequency response it not flat, they have a lot of overshoot
and frequency response above 20 kHz is mostly not shown, strange!
Headphone frequency response measurements are a real problem because
everyone's ears and ear canals are different. Two low cost phones
that I find excellent are the Sennheiser PX-100 and the Koss Porta
Pro. Koss will replace the latter free of charge for life no matter
how you break it. The former I found more comfortable to wear. I
like them because of a lack of obvious midrange colorations which so
many cheap phones come with. They are both well under a hundred
dollars.
My expensive $450.00 Sennheiser IE8's sound better than either of
them, I think, but certainly not $350.00 better. And IEM's require
getting used to..
