Well-tuned with natural timbre, ultimately marred by subpar detail retrieval and definition.

Average Technical Grade
C+- Satisfactory technical performance. Handles basic detail retrieval adequately in most tracks. Maintains reasonable cohesion in simpler arrangements.
Bass
C+
Average bass performance - present but unremarkable. Has reasonable texture but lacks depth and physicality.
Mids
C+
Decent midrange performance - balanced but unremarkable. Adequate clarity for most genres without notable flaws.
Treble
C+
Decent treble with acceptable extension and detail. Can sound slightly unrefined but avoids being harsh or sibilant.
Dynamics
C+
Decent dynamic performance. Good macro-contrast but micro-dynamics could be more nuanced. Satisfactory impact.
Details
C+
Decent detail retrieval. Handles most textures adequately though micro-details and ambient cues could be more pronounced.
Imaging
C-
Average imaging - reasonable localization but lacks specificity. Instruments have general positions but lack pinpoint accuracy.
Gaming
C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical. Bad value-to-cost for gaming purpose - not recommended
