Final Audio E500 Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

B-

Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.

Average Technical Grade

Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Bass B-

Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.

Mids B-

Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.

Treble C+

Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.

Dynamics C-

Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.

Soundstage B

Good soundstage with proper width and depth. Instruments have clear positioning with reasonable front/back placement.

Details C+

Decent detail retrieval. Handles most textures adequately though micro-details and ambient cues could be more pronounced.

Imaging B-

Decent positional accuracy. Good left/right placement with acceptable center image, though depth positioning is approximate.

Gaming C

Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Tanchjim Tanya Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

C-

Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Average Technical Grade

D+

Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Bass D+

Bass is light and underwhelming. While some faint rumble exists, it lacks punch and authority in any meaningful way.

Mids C-

Midrange is passable but unrefined. Lacks detail and smoothness, with occasional harshness in upper mids.

Treble D

Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.

Dynamics C-

Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.

Soundstage C-

Average soundstage - adequate width but flat presentation. Reasonable instrument separation but lacks layering and depth.

Details D

Modest detail presentation with significant loss of texture. Nuances are masked and complex passages become congested.

Imaging D

Modest imaging with basic left/right positioning. Lacks precision for center placement and suffers from positional blurring.

Gaming D+

Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Well tuned. Techs are middling. But for the price they are solid. The fact that they include Final E eartips makes this a must buy. QC is a crap shoot. Previously Owned
