Overall tuning balance is weak with too much treble action and lack of bass presence. Timbre is off. Stages on your head, despite sounding airy.

Rose Technics Star City 5 Pro Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • A mostly enjoyable signature keeps things listenable despite a handful of quirks. It handles most playlists without major complaints.

Average Technical Grade

C+
  • The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.
Dynamics B
The performance feels robust, with satisfying punch and natural transitions. Nuances are easy to follow.
Soundstage C+
Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.

Tripowin Rhombus Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E+
  • Balance is severely off, producing a harsh, unpleasant listen regardless of genre. Long sessions quickly become exhausting.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Bass E+
Bass comes across thin, offering little body or resonance. Kick drums sound papery and restrained.
Mids E+
A hollow mid band strips body from instruments and voices. Instrumental harmonics fade too quickly.
Treble E+
The upper end is cloaked, leaving cymbals lacking shimmer and air. Overtones hide behind the midrange.
Details E-
Subtle cues refuse to surface, so the song feels like a rough sketch instead of a finished piece. Instrument edges smear together.
Imaging E+
Listening becomes fatiguing when instruments refuse to remain anchored. It becomes tiring to follow the mix.
Gaming E
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
