Beaten by Salnotes Zero for my library. Good tuning, medriocre techs, but throwing punches up to 100$. Hard to fault. Cable is bad but workable.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C+- Tonality is generally agreeable, though a few bumps remind you of its limits. Certain tracks spotlight its tonal quirks.
Average Technical Grade
C- The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass
C-
The bass remains polite, offering definition without much drive. Dynamics remain gentle even at higher volume.
Mids
B-
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble
C+
Treble feels agreeable overall, bringing sparkle without significant fatigue. You get a polite sense of air.
Dynamics
D
Volume shifts feel constrained, so build-ups plateau before releasing. Build-ups plateau before resolving.
Soundstage
C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.
Details
C-
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.
Imaging
C-
Center information lands in the right area but not with laser focus. Separation is adequate for casual listening.
Gaming
C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
