Good tuning, great bass, excellent build quality, cheap price - what's not to love? Well - the treble is not to love. Treble sounds weird, metallic, and a bit zingy - if you like that, then this is the set for you!

Basically the modded Zero with slight more bass. Best note-weight out of the $20 sets. Berrylium bass baby.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
B-- Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.
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 performance is average—present enough but rarely inspiring. It neither offends nor impresses.
Mids
B-
Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.
Treble
C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.
Dynamics
B
It handles shifts in volume well, keeping transients lively and controlled. Quiet-to-loud transitions feel natural.
Soundstage
C+
Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
Details
C-
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.
Imaging
C-
Separation is good enough for casual listening yet misses audiophile precision. Depth remains limited but present.
Gaming
C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
