A+ Tuning
A Tech
Same tuning as the EPZ P50 but fancier with a little more sub-bass, and slightly more detailed in the treble but barely noticeable. This is "technically" better, but P50 would be the better value since you can get it for around $160 on sale.

A- Tuning
B+ Tech
Good for vocal lovers. Not ideal if you want a strong bass boost. Natural vocals, clear mids, and smooth, detailed treble. Clean and balanced sound with a nice touch of air and sparkle. Bass is polite and reserved. Can feel a bit incohesive at times.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • Satisfactory technical performance. Handles basic detail retrieval adequately in most tracks. Maintains reasonable cohesion in simpler arrangements.
Mids C+
Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.
Treble C+
Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.
Dynamics C-
Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.
Soundstage C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width. Some depth perception but height dimension remains underdeveloped.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical. Value-to-cost may not be optimal for gaming-focused users.
