Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • Technical ability is serviceable, keeping basic detail intact across simpler tracks. It keeps up with acoustic tracks without much fuss.
Bass B-
The bass offers steady support without stepping into the spotlight. There's just enough punch for everyday playlists.
Mids C+
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble C+
Treble is decent, offering acceptable extension without harshness. It balances presence with a touch of restraint.
Dynamics C+
Dynamic performance is decent, delivering respectable macro swings with limited nuance. There's a fair amount of macrodynamic swing.
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-
The mix feels articulate, yet the tiniest ripples don't always sparkle. Background ambience is reasonably clear.
Imaging C
Separation is good enough for casual listening yet misses audiophile precision. Depth remains limited but present.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E-
  • Tuning is chaotic and fatiguing, with clashing frequencies that make long sessions unbearable. Every song demands frequent volume adjustments.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Mids E-
Midrange sits extremely recessed, burying vocals under a muddy veil. Lead vocals hide far behind the mix.
Treble E-
Highs sound veiled and distant, draining life from the mix. Hi-hats fade before they start.
Dynamics E-
It cannot muster meaningful volume gradation, making tracks feel static. It drains life from energetic music.
Soundstage E-
The stereo image feels strangled, offering no meaningful placement beyond a cramped midline. There's no escape from the claustrophobia.
Gaming E-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
