Truthear Hexa Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.

Average Technical Grade

B-

Satisfactory technical performance. Handles basic detail retrieval adequately in most tracks. Maintains reasonable cohesion in simpler arrangements.

Bass B-

Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.

Mids B

Good midrange presence with solid clarity. Vocals are clear and instruments have reasonable texture and body.

Treble B

Good treble response - clear and detailed without fatigue. Well-extended with proper air and sparkle.

Dynamics C+

Decent dynamic performance. Good macro-contrast but micro-dynamics could be more nuanced. Satisfactory impact.

Soundstage B

Good soundstage with proper width and depth. Instruments have clear positioning with reasonable front/back placement.

Details C+

Decent detail retrieval. Handles most textures adequately though micro-details and ambient cues could be more pronounced.

Imaging C+

Decent positional accuracy. Good left/right placement with acceptable center image, though depth positioning is approximate.

Gaming B-

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

CVJ Shadowblade Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

E-

Noticeably blurred or congested. Struggles with basic instrument separation; details are lost in simple tracks. Feels "flat" and one-dimensional.

Mids C-

Midrange is passable but unrefined. Lacks detail and smoothness, with occasional harshness in upper mids.

Treble E-

Treble is extremely rolled off and veiled. High frequencies are barely perceptible with significant loss of detail.

Dynamics E+

Limited dynamic range with poor micro-detail. Subtle volume changes are lost, and transients lack proper attack.

Soundstage C+

Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width. Some depth perception but height dimension remains underdeveloped.

Gaming E

Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Foam helps tame uppermids/treble. Amazing detail for price and new benchmark below $100. Better tuned "softer" Dusk with slighlty less accurate imaging. Note-weight can be light.

Unique neutral-bright sound signature, but overall feels a little unengaging. Clean, clear vocals with decent detail. Bass quality and impact, mids can feel lean, and treble can get a bit bright.

Like the B2 but a step down in resolution and separation - very well-tuned - could use a tad more bass quantity and tighter bass (it sounds a bit fuzzy and loose - I guess they aren't using a very good DD), and better treble (this problem can be fixed by using wide bore tips). Great value for $79 - no comfort, fit, or QC issues like the B2 but in exchange. Previously Owned
