Kinera Celest Gumiho Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

D-
  • Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.
Bass D
The bass sits quietly in the background, providing only faint support. Live recordings lose their stage thump.
Mids D
Mid frequencies swing wildly, colouring vocals and instruments unpredictably. Instruments trade places unpredictably.
Treble E+
Highs sound subdued and short on sparkle, hiding fine detail. Metallic instruments lose their bite.
Details D
It can follow the main lines but loses composure once arrangements become busy. Fine articulation is frequently glossed over.
Imaging D
Modest imaging with basic left/right positioning that never quite nails the center image. Left/right cues exist but are rough.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
