A little bit thick and poofy in the bass. Aful Explorer is better option.

More uniquely tuned than other planars. Tamer uppermids, not as energetic, but still with great bass separation and tech. Timbre is good.

Thieaudio Legacy 2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • It sounds pleasant overall, with some uneven spots that hint at room for refinement. Vocals remain pleasant despite the imperfections.

Average Technical Grade

D
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass D
It hints at bass presence but never quite delivers satisfying punch. Percussion lacks a satisfying weight.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics E+
Expect constrained dynamics that blur the edges of quieter details. It struggles to render sudden changes.
Details D
It can follow the main lines but loses composure once arrangements become busy. Fine articulation is frequently glossed over.
Imaging D
It sketches positions loosely while allowing outlines to blur. Instrument outlines remain fuzzy.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Letshuoer S08 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

A-
  • 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+
  • Overall technicalities are acceptable, delivering enough clarity for casual sessions. Imaging is serviceable though not immersive.
Bass B+
Expect a solid thump that keeps the rhythm engaging yet controlled. Sub-bass presence is supportive, not overwhelming.
Mids B
The mids are articulate and well-balanced, lending body to instruments. Instrument layering remains stable.
Treble B
The top end is engaging and airy, yet never overbearing. Brass and strings feel energetic.
Dynamics B
It handles shifts in volume well, keeping transients lively and controlled. Quiet-to-loud transitions feel natural.
Soundstage B+
A satisfying balance of width and depth yields a stage that feels organized and engaging. Imaging lines up with the intended mix.
Details B+
You hear inner textures easily, even when the arrangement piles on layers. You can hear subtle studio effects.
Imaging B
Instrument boundaries feel well carved, avoiding smear or drift. Instrument outlines feel well-defined.
Gaming B+
Respectable environmental presentation favors atmosphere over precision. Detects obvious directional cues while conveying game world ambiance.
