Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
B- Flawed execution of tonal character. Noticeable peaks/dips affect timbre and coherence. May suit specific genres but lacks refinement.
Average Technical Grade

Bass
B-
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.

Good imaging with precise instrument placement. Clear localization within the soundstage including front/back positioning.
Gaming

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
