Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Etymotic ER4XR Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B
  • Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.

Average Technical Grade

B
  • Competent but unremarkable. Decent detail retrieval in quieter tracks, though busy sections challenge cohesion. Imaging is average, lacking depth.
Bass C+
Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.
Mids A-
Excellent midrange with natural timbre and great detail retrieval. Vocals are forward and emotive with lifelike instrument reproduction.
Treble C+
Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.
Dynamics C+
Decent dynamic performance. Good macro-contrast but micro-dynamics could be more nuanced. Satisfactory impact.
Details B
Good resolution with clear articulation of nuances. Reveals recording nuances and maintains clarity in complex passages.
Imaging C+
Decent positional accuracy. Good left/right placement with acceptable center image, though depth positioning is approximate.
Gaming B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.

Persasive warmth just puts a blanket on all the transients. Lacks definition.
