This is basically unlistenable. Requires EQ, but is fine with it.

Comment: A sidegrade from Wan Er, but a more correct sounding Chu. Well tuned like the Chu, without the metallic treble B-grade bass, general technicalities

7Hz Salnotes Zero Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass C
It keeps the low end tidy, though energy and weight remain limited. It favors balance over excitement.
Mids B-
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble C-
Treble performance is average, audible but short on refinement. There's acceptable presence but limited finesse.
Dynamics D-
Expect constrained dynamics that blur the edges of quieter details. It struggles to render sudden changes.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Details C-
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.
Imaging C-
You can tell where things generally sit, though exact locations feel blurred. Center vocals sit mostly where expected.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

EarAcoustic Audio x Zkaaai Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • Expect a discordant presentation where frequency clashes ruin any chance of relaxed listening. It struggles to render a cohesive musical picture.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Mids E-
Critical mid frequencies hide in the background, making lyrics hard to catch. Guitars and pianos lose their presence.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics E+
It struggles to convey small volume changes, flattening energetic bursts. Micro-contrast is practically absent.
Soundstage E-
Spatial boundaries clamp shut, forcing the mix to huddle uncomfortably in the middle. Ambient cues disappear entirely.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
