Probably my budget pick under 30. But just strech for 35 for EW200.

A sort of middle-ground tuning compared to the other budget single DD sets. Not as warm or bassy as the Zero:2. Not as bright as the Gate, not as vocal forward as the Wan'Er 2. Right in the middle. Try to get it on sale.

Woohoo another harman/df! Very similar to the G10, but cheaper with heftier note-weight. Clean budget Harman, highlights vocals very nicely. Can be sharp.

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

C-
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble D
Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.
Dynamics C-
Dynamics are average—competent yet lacking real excitement. It keeps music listenable but uninspiring.
Soundstage B
Lateral spread stretches comfortably while front/back cues start to feel convincing. You can trace front-to-back movement.
Gaming C-
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Mids C+
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.

Dynamics C-
Dynamics are average—competent yet lacking real excitement. It keeps music listenable but uninspiring.
Soundstage C+
The image breathes a little, spacing instruments laterally while sketching a light sense of distance. Separation improves with cleaner recordings.

Decent spatial awareness for fundamental positioning. Creates satisfying atmosphere in story-driven games while handling basic directional cues.
