Too V-shaped for me. Treble too hot and mids are very recessed. Great bass impact and stage size.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C- It struggles with balance, producing a lumpy response that rarely sounds coherent. Genre hopping highlights glaring inconsistencies.
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
C+
Low-end delivery feels competent yet unremarkable, keeping a safe profile. Low-end bloom is kept in check.
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
C+
Dynamics feel competent, bringing energy without the finest detail. It carries energy without sounding aggressive.
Soundstage
C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Details
C
It conveys the core of each track yet glosses over the quieter gestures underneath. Delicate details remain a bit subdued.
Imaging
C+
The stage feels orderly, guiding your ear across positions without confusion. Depth layering is hinted and believable.
Gaming
C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical. Value-to-cost may not be optimal for gaming-focused users.
