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

Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.

Limited dynamic range with poor micro-detail. Subtle volume changes are lost, and transients lack proper attack.

Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width. Some depth perception but height dimension remains underdeveloped.

Imaging E+
Poor instrument placement with unstable positioning. Instruments drift and lack fixed locations within the sound field.

Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Same as the Crin Zero but with slightl more bass and less faitguing, although at the cost of more recessed vocals/mids. Mid-bass tuck affects libraries.

Low res. Too dark. Timbre is way off. Reminds me of an AM radio. Doesn't do much right if at all. An attempt was made and can't say much more than that. Previously Owned

Great bass elevation with some bleed into the midrange. Treble has some zing around the 8k and 10k area to compensate for the warmth. Solid warm pick, great cable.
