C- Tuning
C+ Tech
Good dynamics, but poor tuning with nasty 8kHz treble peak contrasted to zero air.

C- Tuning
C- Tech
Great bass impact (one of the best I've heard). Tunning is wonky, mild V and zero treble air. Other than dynamics, techs are nothing to write home about. Get Zen Pro instead unless you only care for slam, can EQ or mod. Or Z1R.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C-
  • Expect a patchy tonal profile that makes instrumentation feel mismatched. EQ is almost mandatory to tame the response.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Bass B
Bass foundation is good, adding satisfying punch without losing control. Pop and rock tracks feel lively.
Mids C-
The mids sound serviceable but rough around the edges, needing polish. Occasional glare can creep into upper mids.
Treble D
Highs feel erratic, with dips and spikes that make the signature unpredictable. It alternates between splashy and dull.
Dynamics A-
Dynamic performance is excellent, combining sharp transients with strong contrast. Transients snap with authority.
Details C
The presentation is fine for casual listening but leaves refinement on the table. There's some grain on quieter elements.
Imaging D+
Stereo cues appear but wobble, leaving the panorama feeling imprecise. Center image lacks solidity.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
