A- Tuning
B+ Tech
Balanced V with quick mid-bass, airy treble and standout imaging; presents neutral-bright at low volume without harshness. Depth is limited and the balance can be track dependent. Fast beryllium plated single dynamic driver with clear, airy extension and precise imaging for the price. Elevated ear gain and mid bass balance can be track dependent and flattens stage depth.
Youtube Video Summary

TFZ x Angelears Athena combines TFZ heritage with a modern balanced V approach: sub-bass is gently reduced, mid-bass carries a healthy rise, and upper-mids/low-treble energy add speed, clarity and a neutral-bright presentation at lower volumes. The X1 beryllium-plated single dynamic driver feels fast and agile, letting air and extension come through more audibly than the graph suggests.

Bass hits quick and clean rather than heavy, mids gain body from the mid-bass lift yet remain forward and articulate, and the treble sounds extended and open without turning sharp at sane levels. Staging favors width and height over depth, but imaging is notably precise; the tuning can be track-dependent, rewarding material that balances mid-bass and treble. As a sub-150 single-DD, it reads fresh and coherent, offering a distinctive take that stands out among similarly priced fun-tuned sets.

Classic "2018" Single DD V-shaped tuning. Bright, Bassy, sharp, slightly fatiguing tonality. Bass Bleeds into Mids. "Classic" sound. Nice cable.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Bass B+
Expect a solid thump that keeps the rhythm engaging yet controlled. Sub-bass presence is supportive, not overwhelming.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble C
Treble is adequate overall, though its texture can feel coarse. Longer sessions may expose grain.
Dynamics D+
Expect a limited dynamic swing that keeps musical climaxes from hitting hard. Volume gradations feel artificially restrained.
Soundstage B-
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Details B+
Recordings feel well sorted, with supporting details snapping to attention. Small articulations remain intact.
Imaging B+
Positions lock in with confidence, sketching a believable stage map. There's a tangible sense of stage geometry.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
