Bone conduction on the cheap. Buzzy, springy tonalty that makes for fun bass, but carries a little too much tonal affectation. Like a baby Kinera Plutus Beast

Better version of the "Classic" KZ Tuning. Wonky treble presentation with some nice sparkle. Great shells, great cable, not worth it for $50

Kbear KB02 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B
  • It sounds pleasant overall, with some uneven spots that hint at room for refinement. Vocals remain pleasant despite the imperfections.

Average Technical Grade

B
  • An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C-
Treble is adequate overall, though its texture can feel coarse. Longer sessions may expose grain.
Dynamics B
You get confident dynamics that track both macro swings and rhythmic drive. There's life in every crescendo.
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 B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

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 C+
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.
Treble E+
Highs sound subdued and short on sparkle, hiding fine detail. Metallic instruments lose their bite.
Dynamics C-
Volume swings are adequate, though they rarely feel dramatic. It won't offend, yet it won't thrill.
Soundstage C+
It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
