EarAcoustic Audio x Zkaaai Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • Tonally jarring or fatiguing. Frequency clashes (e.g., piercing treble, bloated bass) make extended listening unpleasant. Poor genre adaptation.

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 E-
Midrange is extremely recessed and muddy. Critical vocal frequencies are buried, making lyrics hard to discern.
Treble E+
Treble is noticeably dark and lacking extension. Cymbals lack shimmer and high-frequency details are obscured.
Dynamics E+
Limited dynamic range with poor micro-detail. Subtle volume changes are lost, and transients lack proper attack.
Soundstage E-
Extremely narrow and flat presentation. All elements sound congested in the center of your head with no instrument placement.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

7Hz Salnotes Zero Scorings

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

D+
  • Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.
Bass D+
Bass is light and underwhelming. While some faint rumble exists, it lacks punch and authority in any meaningful way.
Mids C
Midrange is passable but unrefined. Lacks detail and smoothness, with occasional harshness in upper mids.
Treble D+
Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.
Dynamics E-
Extremely poor dynamic expression. Lacks any sense of impact or volume gradation, making music feel one-dimensional.
Soundstage B-
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width. Some depth perception but height dimension remains underdeveloped.
Details C-
Average resolution - reveals basic elements but misses subtleties. Satisfactory for casual listening but lacks refinement.
Imaging D+
Modest imaging with basic left/right positioning. Lacks precision for center placement and suffers from positional blurring.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

This is basically unlistenable. Requires EQ, but is fine with it.
