Bone conduction on the cheap. Buzzy, springy tonalty that makes for fun bass, but carries a little too much tonal affectation. Like a baby Kinera Plutus Beast

Worse techs and timbre heart mirror, but with better treble tuning (less fatiguing). Bass has dynamics for its price. At this price, can't fault it that much tbh.

Kbear KB02 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

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

Average Technical Grade

B
  • An honest, middle-of-the-road performance preserves structure without chasing micro-detail. It's respectable for everyday listening sessions.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C-
Treble is adequate overall, though its texture can feel coarse. Longer sessions may expose grain.
Dynamics B
You get confident dynamics that track both macro swings and rhythmic drive. There's life in every crescendo.
Soundstage B
The presentation supplies a believable venue outline where each instrument owns its pocket of space. The stage opens up nicely for live cuts.
Gaming B
Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.

TKZK Wave Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D-
  • The tonal profile is unruly and tiring, forcing constant volume adjustments. Even spoken word sounds unnatural.

Average Technical Grade

D-
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Bass E+
Bass lines feel skeletal, robbing tracks of their intended foundation. Genres relying on sub-bass struggle.
Mids D
The region feels unstable, alternating between honky resonance and missing information. You'll hear odd resonances across the mids.
Treble D
Expect treble that alternates between muted and splashy in the same track. Cymbals sound inconsistent across tracks.
Details D
Modest detail presentation that sacrifices texture and masks subtle nuances. It conveys the basics but not the nuance.
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.
