D+TForce Yuan Li Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
D- Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
D-- Noticeably blurred or congested. Struggles with basic instrument separation; details are lost in simple tracks. Feels "flat" and one-dimensional.
Padsmith IEM Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C+- Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.
Average Technical Grade
C-- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Mids could be better. Doesnt nothing wrong but also doesn't do anything special that cheaper options can't do. Awsome imaging tho. Too mellow, too soft - blunted transients and lack of detail.
