Lacks in bass, low pinna gain, but overall not bad, just expensive.

C- Tech
Two units, both have audible channel imbalance. Stage width is average but lacks height and depth. Treble is on the darker side with some 5k energy. Mid bass is a bit too much but good slam. Shows incoherence signs.

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

C-
  • Textural information blurs together, making the stage feel pinched and gray. Instrument edges blur together frequently.
Bass B
You get a lively bass response that balances energy with discipline. It balances punch with respectable control.
Mids C+
The region sounds agreeable overall, delivering clarity without flashiness. Slight warmth keeps things easy-going.
Treble C
Highs are present enough yet carry a bit of grain and splash. Busy mixes can still feel a bit splashy.
Dynamics C-
It maintains a steady dynamic profile that neither offends nor inspires. Swells arrive but lack drama.
Soundstage B
You can map the ensemble with confidence thanks to solid spacing and coherent depth layering. Ambient effects feel believable.
Details C-
Nothing sounds offensive, yet nothing is etched sharply enough to captivate detail lovers. It's fine for casual listening sessions.
Imaging C-
You can tell where things generally sit, though exact locations feel blurred. Center vocals sit mostly where expected.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical. Value-to-cost may not be optimal for gaming-focused users.
