A-AKG N40 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
C- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

A- Well-executed tonal character. No major flaws with good technical control. Smooth presentation works with multiple genres.
Average Technical Grade
A-- Above average technicalities. Handles separation and detail adequately in simpler tracks, but complex passages remain challenging. Soundstage is modestly sized with acceptable imaging.

Reviewer Score
A rather typical hybrid tuned to the Harman Target. Nothing special especially for the asking price. Crin Youtube Channel

Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone. A benchmark for tonality and timbre.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive. Precogvision Youtube Channel
