Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A

Average Technical Grade

A-
  • A competent technical showing keeps separation intact while delivering modest staging. It feels tidy even when recordings stack layers.
Mids B
The mids are articulate and well-balanced, lending body to instruments. Instrument layering remains stable.
Treble A-
Expect effortless extension and clarity that keep the top end sparkling yet smooth. Layering in upper registers is impressive.
Dynamics S
Expect a stunning blend of micro and macro dynamics that mirrors live energy. Soft and loud contrasts are breathtaking.
Soundstage A+
Exceptional soundstage with holographic imaging that lets instruments float naturally around you. It paints a holographic bubble around you.
Gaming B-

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C-
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
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 are average—competent yet lacking real excitement. It keeps music listenable but uninspiring.
Soundstage C+
It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
Gaming E-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
