Comment: Bass-boosted, warmer sounding Quarks with similar resolution. Harman-tuned inoffensive sound Can sound muddy on crowded tracks

Bought for the filters. It's not a bad set to throw in the backpack. Nothing special but also not offensive.

Bad fit (bullet style). Ok for the price but I can't really rec it. Needs a lot of power, which is a non-sense. Great acessories. Stage presentation is good but depth isn't. Bloated tuning.

Tanchjim Tanya Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
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 D
Treble balance wavers, creating a mix of recessed detail and harsh flashes. Highs feel restless and unfocused.
Dynamics C-
It maintains a steady dynamic profile that neither offends nor inspires. Swells arrive but lack drama.
Soundstage C-
Average soundstage with adequate width but a flat presentation that lacks meaningful layering. Width is acceptable but not exciting.
Details D
Information density overwhelms it quickly, so finer layers fade beneath the surface. Intricate passages blur when pushed.
Imaging D
Depth barely registers, so the stage resembles a shallow arc. Depth cues are barely sketched.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Moondrop Chu II Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B+
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
