Great all-rounder with excellent Bass presentation. No recessed mids or shouty/reduced treble. Cable is bad. Comes in 4 colors.

Woohoo another harman/df! More bass than OG Zero, but doesn't feel as clean and open. Clarity is similar as OG Zero because of the boosted bass and decreaed treble. Z300 is a better version of this with more treble and better build/cable/packaging.

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

D+
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Mids B
The mids are articulate and well-balanced, lending body to instruments. Instrument layering remains stable.
Treble E+
Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.
Dynamics C+
You get reliable macrodynamics, with micro shifts that remain only adequate. A reliable performer for most tracks.
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 C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
