Average treble performance - present but lacking refinement. Some graininess or splashiness affects clarity.

Limited dynamic range with poor micro-detail. Subtle volume changes are lost, and transients lack proper attack.

Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

Can be a bit bright on pop/edm, but very good for jazz/blues/soul and warm instrumentals.

A Quarks DSP without the mid-bass scoop and more air. Smooth dynamics. More "V" vs OG Ola and exciting. A less technical Olina SE.
