Average Technical & Tuning Grades

C- Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
C-- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Just great all around, balance with amazingly clean midrange Tim Tuned Youtube Channel

Something magical about this set, but it's not the Bass. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Reviewer Score
A benchmark for tonality and timbre. Neutral, accurate sound with great bass, tonal accuracy, forward vocals, and natural timbre. Excellent isolation. Unvented design and BA bass may not suit everyone.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Best all rounder under $500. "Correct" and neutral tuning. Perfect vocals, not as forward like RSV but zero faults. Slight Improvement over RSV in-terms of seapration and stage size/treble is same/not as warm. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Sounds plasticky and smoothed; inoffensive to the point of being offensive. Precogvision Youtube Channel
