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

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

B-
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Bass A-
It serves up confident rumble and texture while keeping the spectrum balanced. You can enjoy bass-heavy music without fatigue.
Mids A+
It offers a luxurious, resolving midrange that captures micro-detail beautifully. Every vocal inflection is captured.
Treble A-
Highs feel superbly executed, revealing micro-detail without hint of sibilance. Highs stay smooth even at volume.
Gaming B-
Moderate spatial presentation conveys general directionality. Suitable for casual play where precision isn't critical.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • Expect a discordant presentation where frequency clashes ruin any chance of relaxed listening. It struggles to render a cohesive musical picture.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Mids E-
Critical mid frequencies hide in the background, making lyrics hard to catch. Guitars and pianos lose their presence.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics E+
It struggles to convey small volume changes, flattening energetic bursts. Micro-contrast is practically absent.
Soundstage E-
Spatial boundaries clamp shut, forcing the mix to huddle uncomfortably in the middle. Ambient cues disappear entirely.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
