Best true "Warm" Set under $25. Super relaxing. Don't expect tons of treble detail

Very well tuned warm/bassy set. Not basshead like the Rosefinch, but still has good bass impact as well as upholding enough treble extension.

CCA CSN Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

D
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass D
Expect a restrained low end that prioritizes cleanliness over excitement. Impact comes across soft and restrained.
Mids C-
The region is listenable but lacks the finesse and clarity of better tuning. A touch of EQ can smooth things out.
Treble D
Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
Dynamics D
Dynamics come across throttled, leaving energetic moments underwhelming. Energetic passages land with a thud.
Details D
Modest detail presentation that sacrifices texture and masks subtle nuances. It conveys the basics but not the nuance.
Imaging D
Panning effects blur at the edges, making movement sound smeared. Fast panning effects smear noticeably.
Gaming D
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Gaming B-
Moderate spatial presentation conveys general directionality. Suitable for casual play where precision isn't critical.
