Average Tunign Grade
C+- Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.
Average Technical Grade
C-- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

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
