Sounds fairly open. Pinna compensation and transition to treble region needs work.

Moondrop Quarks Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C-
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass D
The bass sits quietly in the background, providing only faint support. Live recordings lose their stage thump.
Mids C-
Expect adequate midrange presence with a touch of grit and unevenness. Textures smear when the mix gets busy.
Treble D
Expect treble that alternates between muted and splashy in the same track. Cymbals sound inconsistent across tracks.
Dynamics D
The presentation feels restrained, with transients arriving blunted and slow. Rhythms lack the expected drive.
Soundstage C
Average soundstage with adequate width but a flat presentation that lacks meaningful layering. Width is acceptable but not exciting.
Details D+
The overall picture is serviceable yet stripped of the tiny flourishes that add realism. Layering lacks consistent clarity.
Imaging D+
Panning effects blur at the edges, making movement sound smeared. Fast panning effects smear noticeably.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
