V-shaped, a lot of bass, good slam and impact. Fun and exciting. Texture is ok, layering and separation not that clean. Uppermids are sharp. Vocals are husky/congested and sharp somehow. Lack of air stage is small. Doesn't scale well, can't listen past 65dbs ish.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics C-
The system delivers passable punch but never surprises. Punch is modest rather than exciting.
Soundstage B
The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
