Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.
Treble C-
Average treble performance - present but lacking refinement. Some graininess or splashiness affects clarity.

Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
