Mids C+
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble C-
Expect serviceable treble that keeps detail audible without much polish. It keeps the highs audible without elegance.

Volume shifts feel constrained, so build-ups plateau before releasing. Build-ups plateau before resolving.
Soundstage A-
Immersion steps up dramatically as width, depth, and height integrate into a cohesive hologram. Everything sounds naturally spaced.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
