Kinera Celest Plutus Beast Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • It struggles with balance, producing a lumpy response that rarely sounds coherent. Genre hopping highlights glaring inconsistencies.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Mids C-
Expect adequate midrange presence with a touch of grit and unevenness. Textures smear when the mix gets busy.
Treble D
The upper range behaves inconsistently, blending dullness with sudden glare. You'll notice sharp spikes alongside dips.
Dynamics C-
Volume swings are adequate, though they rarely feel dramatic. It won't offend, yet it won't thrill.
Soundstage B
You can map the ensemble with confidence thanks to solid spacing and coherent depth layering. Ambient effects feel believable.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

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

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.

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.
