Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.
Mids
B+
Good midrange presence with solid clarity. Vocals are clear and instruments have reasonable texture and body.
Treble

Good treble response - clear and detailed without fatigue. Well-extended with proper air and sparkle.
Soundstage
B+
Good soundstage with proper width and depth. Instruments have clear positioning with reasonable front/back placement.
Details

Excellent detail retrieval: highly resolving without being clinical. Effortlessly reveals micro-details and textural subtleties.
Imaging
B
Good imaging with precise instrument placement. Clear localization within the soundstage including front/back positioning.
Gaming
C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
