Typical Chi-Fi sound of old - lots of bass, peaky lower-treble, and lack of air.

Rose Technics Star City 5 Pro Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • A mostly enjoyable signature keeps things listenable despite a handful of quirks. It handles most playlists without major complaints.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.
Dynamics B
The performance feels robust, with satisfying punch and natural transitions. Nuances are easy to follow.
Soundstage C+
Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

GS Audio GD3C Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
Bass D
Impact feels muted, leaving the low end polite and underwhelming. You may find yourself reaching for EQ boosts.
Mids D
Mid frequencies swing wildly, colouring vocals and instruments unpredictably. Instruments trade places unpredictably.
Treble D
The upper range behaves inconsistently, blending dullness with sudden glare. You'll notice sharp spikes alongside dips.
Dynamics D
The presentation feels restrained, with transients arriving blunted and slow. Rhythms lack the expected drive.
Details D
It can follow the main lines but loses composure once arrangements become busy. Fine articulation is frequently glossed over.
Imaging D
It sketches positions loosely while allowing outlines to blur. Instrument outlines remain fuzzy.
Gaming D
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
