D
  • Significantly flawed tuning. Noticeable frequency imbalances and unnatural timbre distract from music. Lacks versatility across recordings.

Bass C-
Subdued bass response that stays mostly in the background. Lacks energy and impact but maintains basic definition.

Midrange is thin and hollow with noticeable gaps. Instruments lack body and vocals sound distant and weak.

Uneven treble response with noticeable peaks and dips. Can sound both dull and occasionally harsh simultaneously.
Details D
Modest detail presentation with significant loss of texture. Nuances are masked and complex passages become congested.

Poor instrument placement with unstable positioning. Instruments drift and lack fixed locations within the sound field.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

D Tuning
E+ Tech
For bass lovers. Bass bleeds but has slam. Upper mids elevation followed by a dip feels a bit wonky. Treble is the darker side but well extended. Techs are great for price, if you ignore the usual BA timbre and incoherency.
