Leaner reference sound that sounds a bit too flat for dyanmics. Well-balanced otherwise.

Heavily library dependent. Amazing clarity, but lacks low-end. Smooth uppermids/treble with decent extension. Brighter Mini-DM.

Tanchjim Ola Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • A mostly enjoyable signature keeps things listenable despite a handful of quirks. It handles most playlists without major complaints.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass D+
Bass remains light-handed, hinting at rumble without delivering real weight. It keeps out of the way but never excites.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.
Dynamics D
The presentation feels restrained, with transients arriving blunted and slow. Rhythms lack the expected drive.
Soundstage C-
Average soundstage with adequate width but a flat presentation that lacks meaningful layering. Width is acceptable but not exciting.
Details C
It conveys the core of each track yet glosses over the quieter gestures underneath. Delicate details remain a bit subdued.
Imaging C
Center information lands in the right area but not with laser focus. Separation is adequate for casual listening.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

KZ D-Fi Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

B-
  • It offers a competent showing, maintaining cohesion on straightforward arrangements. Complex passages start to challenge it, but never derail the show.
Bass C+
It delivers adequate punch and texture, though nothing stands out. Sub-bass presence is hinted rather than delivered.
Mids B-
Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.
Treble C+
Expect a polite treble presentation that balances presence with restraint. Percussion carries a pleasant sparkle.
Soundstage B-
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.
Details B-
Ambient cues appear, albeit with softer focus than die-hard resolution seekers may prefer. You can follow supporting instruments well.
Imaging B-
A stable phantom center appears, lending vocals a consistent anchor. It maintains a coherent phantom center.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
