Fiio JD10 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C+
Treble feels agreeable overall, bringing sparkle without significant fatigue. You get a polite sense of air.
Dynamics C+
Dynamics feel competent, bringing energy without the finest detail. It carries energy without sounding aggressive.
Soundstage B
A satisfying balance of width and depth yields a stage that feels organized and engaging. Imaging lines up with the intended mix.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

Nicehck DB1 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass C-
Low-end presence is gentle and restrained, favoring balance over slam. There's enough presence for casual listening.
Mids C-
Expect adequate midrange presence with a touch of grit and unevenness. Textures smear when the mix gets busy.
Treble C-
The top end sounds acceptable but lacks the smoothness of higher tiers. Air is hinted at more than delivered.
Soundstage C-
It creates a serviceable arc that keeps instruments apart but rarely draws you into the space. It sounds more intimate than expansive.
Details C+
Decent detail retrieval that handles most textures while leaving some micro-information understated. Most textures come through cleanly.
Imaging C-
Center information lands in the right area but not with laser focus. Separation is adequate for casual listening.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
