Average Tunign Grade

B
  • 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.

Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.
Treble D
Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.

Average dynamics - passable but unexciting. Transients are rounded and micro-dynamics lack refinement.

Good soundstage with proper width and depth. Instruments have clear positioning with reasonable front/back placement.

Cheapest holographic staging you can get. Very smooth overall with little uneveness. Double Olina filter mod (or SE version) fixes the uppermid and treble brightness from OG while maintaining technicalities. Smoother and better fit than Airship. Get it on sale.

It's a solid set for the price. Hard not to like, a little mellow.

No brainer purchase with a slightly better tuning of the 100$ legend, with less agressive upper-mids/treble.

Vocal focused set. Female vocals are sweet and clean with subtly air and sparkle. Treble and bass is decent, does the job. Harman but with a twist.
