Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C
  • Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass C-
It keeps the low end tidy, though energy and weight remain limited. It favors balance over excitement.
Mids D
Midrange is highly uneven, veering between shouty peaks and hollow dips. Tonality swings between shouty and withdrawn.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics D
The presentation feels restrained, with transients arriving blunted and slow. Rhythms lack the expected drive.
Soundstage C+
Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
Details C-
Average resolution that reveals the basics while missing many of the subtleties. It reveals enough to stay engaging.
Imaging C-
Average imaging delivers reasonable localization while still lacking pinpoint specificity. You get a reasonable idea of placement.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
