A-Audio Technica ATH-CKS5TW Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
D-- Tonally jarring or fatiguing. Frequency clashes (e.g., piercing treble, bloated bass) make extended listening unpleasant. Poor genre adaptation.
Average Technical Grade
D-- Noticeably blurred or congested. Struggles with basic instrument separation; details are lost in simple tracks. Feels "flat" and one-dimensional.
Truthear Nova Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
A-- Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.
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.

NEED FOAM TIPS makes the treble smooth and clear. Very clean harman sound with smooth but well extended treble/one of the best treble under $200, no roll-off. The pinnacle of trying not to offend anyone, but light bass/low-end; another harman. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
Harman-style sound signature with solid sub-bass, clean forward vocals, smooth treble extension, and great detail. Could use more bass, vocals can feel lean and a bit intense at times. A solid reference.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

A little bit thin and shrill sounding. Hexa costs half as much and it's the better IEM.Super* Review original ranking

Reviewer Score
Strengths: Overall clean sounding, works well with quicker pop genres (Jpop/Kpop). Weaknesses: Male vocals recessed, does not work well with the other half of Jpop/Kpop. Lower midrange suffers from thinner note weight (tuning).
