KZ Zenith Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B+
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

B
  • Technical ability is serviceable, keeping basic detail intact across simpler tracks. It keeps up with acoustic tracks without much fuss.
Mids B
It offers engaging mid frequencies with pleasing clarity and layering. Details emerge without becoming harsh.
Treble C+
Treble is decent, offering acceptable extension without harshness. It balances presence with a touch of restraint.
Dynamics C+
Expect solid impact overall, even if finer gradations feel a touch smoothed. Micro-details could still be sharper.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Gaming B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.

7hz Sonus Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Mids C+
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.
Treble C-
Highs are present enough yet carry a bit of grain and splash. Busy mixes can still feel a bit splashy.
Dynamics E+
Dynamic range feels limited, smearing micro-contrast and transient attack. Soft details are smoothed into the background.
Soundstage B
Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
