Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B-
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • Technical ability is serviceable, keeping basic detail intact across simpler tracks. It keeps up with acoustic tracks without much fuss.

Low end hits with respectable impact while staying reasonably tidy. You get a healthy sense of rhythm.

Expect modest dynamics that keep music listenable without thrill. Micro-contrast is serviceable.
Details C-
Average resolution that reveals the basics while missing many of the subtleties. It reveals enough to stay engaging.

Separation is good enough for casual listening yet misses audiophile precision. Depth remains limited but present.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
