Surprisingly well extended in the treble if not a little strident and forward in the lower-treble.

Boomy and dark, yet simultaneously peaky in the mid-treble. Typical V-shape consumer sound.

Sony MDR-EX15 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • Uneven emphasis across the spectrum keeps the presentation unsettled and awkward. Acoustic instruments lose their natural body.

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass D
It hints at bass presence but never quite delivers satisfying punch. Percussion lacks a satisfying weight.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble C-
Expect serviceable treble that keeps detail audible without much polish. It keeps the highs audible without elegance.
Dynamics D
Dynamics sound noticeably compressed, muting contrast between quiet and loud. Transients feel blunted and slow.
Details C-
The presentation is fine for casual listening but leaves refinement on the table. There's some grain on quieter elements.
Imaging D
Stereo cues appear but wobble, leaving the panorama feeling imprecise. Center image lacks solidity.
Gaming D
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

JVC FX7 Gumy Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E+
  • Balance is severely off, producing a harsh, unpleasant listen regardless of genre. Long sessions quickly become exhausting.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.
Bass D
Impact feels muted, leaving the low end polite and underwhelming. You may find yourself reaching for EQ boosts.
Mids E+
A hollow mid band strips body from instruments and voices. Instrumental harmonics fade too quickly.
Treble E+
Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.
Dynamics E+
Expect constrained dynamics that blur the edges of quieter details. It struggles to render sudden changes.
Details E+
Definition suffers, causing supporting instruments to meld into a shapeless backing track. Backing vocals dissolve into the mix.
Imaging E+
Nothing holds steady; the image wobbles as if the performers won't stand still. Localization drifts unpredictably.
Gaming E+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
