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-
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble C-
Treble is adequate overall, though its texture can feel coarse. Longer sessions may expose grain.
Dynamics D
Volume shifts feel constrained, so build-ups plateau before releasing. Build-ups plateau before resolving.
Soundstage B
Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
