Bass A+
Excellent bass response - powerful yet controlled. Deep extension with authoritative slam while maintaining clarity.

Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.
Treble B
Good treble response - clear and detailed without fatigue. Well-extended with proper air and sparkle.

Gaming B+
Respectable environmental presentation favors atmosphere over precision. Detects obvious directional cues while conveying game world ambiance.

Great sound marred by being tough to fit - awkward shell shape. Very poor UX - why can't they just use Samsung's software? Previously Owned

A cheaper S12. Almost identical sound and tuning. Good value. Look for aliexpress deals.
