Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Average Technical Grade

C-

Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Dulled transients and dynamics makes this a boring listen.

Clean, balanced, with slight air boost in the treble. Bass sounds like a DD with great texture. Cheaper better tuned P5+2. Not as smooth as Timeless 2 with more dynamic contrast with a slight sizzle from the treble boost. Good value for a planar.

B+ Tuning
A- Tech
Balanced sound with clean bass, smooth mids, and detailed treble. Great clarity, wide soundstage, and natural timbre for a planar. Bass might be a bit light, and treble can be a little forward for some. One of the best planar IEMs out there. The treble is smoother and easier on the ears than most planars.

Not for bassheads, but one of the best planars I've ever heard.

A little bit spicy in the treble (like the other planars). Relaxed upper mid-range. Warmer tuning than S12. It's a decent IEM
