Warm tuning, really easy to listen to Treble isn't really well defined, separation between midrange and lower midrange isn't great either

A little bit thick and poofy in the bass. Aful Explorer is better option.

More uniquely tuned than other planars. Tamer uppermids, not as energetic, but still with great bass separation and tech. Timbre is good.

Letshuoer S08 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A-
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

B+
  • Overall technicalities are acceptable, delivering enough clarity for casual sessions. Imaging is serviceable though not immersive.
Bass B+
Expect a solid thump that keeps the rhythm engaging yet controlled. Sub-bass presence is supportive, not overwhelming.
Mids B
The mids are articulate and well-balanced, lending body to instruments. Instrument layering remains stable.
Treble B
The top end is engaging and airy, yet never overbearing. Brass and strings feel energetic.
Dynamics B
It handles shifts in volume well, keeping transients lively and controlled. Quiet-to-loud transitions feel natural.
Soundstage B+
A satisfying balance of width and depth yields a stage that feels organized and engaging. Imaging lines up with the intended mix.
Details B+
You hear inner textures easily, even when the arrangement piles on layers. You can hear subtle studio effects.
Imaging B
Instrument boundaries feel well carved, avoiding smear or drift. Instrument outlines feel well-defined.
Gaming B+
Respectable environmental presentation favors atmosphere over precision. Detects obvious directional cues while conveying game world ambiance.

Kotori Audio Dauntless Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

B-
  • An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Bass D+
Bass remains light-handed, hinting at rumble without delivering real weight. It keeps out of the way but never excites.
Mids D+
Mid frequencies swing wildly, colouring vocals and instruments unpredictably. Instruments trade places unpredictably.
Treble C
Expect serviceable treble that keeps detail audible without much polish. It keeps the highs audible without elegance.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Details B
Recordings feel well sorted, with supporting details snapping to attention. Small articulations remain intact.
Imaging B-
The stage feels orderly, guiding your ear across positions without confusion. Depth layering is hinted and believable.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
