Kiwi Ears Dolce Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
Mids C+
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble D
Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
Dynamics C-
It maintains a steady dynamic profile that neither offends nor inspires. Swells arrive but lack drama.
Soundstage C+
The image breathes a little, spacing instruments laterally while sketching a light sense of distance. Separation improves with cleaner recordings.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Linhi Bright 2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • It feels tonally jarring, swinging between piercing treble and bloated bass with no cohesion. It feels chaotic regardless of genre.

Average Technical Grade

D-
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Bass E-
The response is anaemic, with bass lines fading into the background. There's minimal vibration or physicality.
Mids E+
Midrange sounds thin and brittle, robbing vocals of weight. Voices lack weight and emotion.
Treble E+
The upper end is cloaked, leaving cymbals lacking shimmer and air. Overtones hide behind the midrange.
Soundstage D
Modest soundstage that feels confined, offering only basic left/right separation with no depth or height. You'll hear some stereo separation only.
Details D
It can follow the main lines but loses composure once arrangements become busy. Fine articulation is frequently glossed over.
Imaging E+
Poor instrument placement with unstable positioning that lets instruments drift around the stage. Positions wander as tracks play.
Gaming E+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
