Remarkably energetic set. But upper treble is off.

Well executed V-Shaped IEM. Warmed-up mids, good treble sparkle. Recessed mids and a slight vocal forwardness. Nice carry pouch, good driver.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics C+
Dynamics feel competent, bringing energy without the finest detail. It carries energy without sounding aggressive.
Soundstage B
Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
