Bass a little too slow and sluggish with minor quirks in the midrange-treble transition.

Solid bass and sparkly, well-extended treble. Could use more work in the detail and imaging department.

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+
  • It offers a competent showing, maintaining cohesion on straightforward arrangements. Complex passages start to challenge it, but never derail the show.
Bass B
You get a lively bass response that balances energy with discipline. It balances punch with respectable control.
Mids C+
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.
Treble B
The top end is engaging and airy, yet never overbearing. Brass and strings feel energetic.
Dynamics C+
It offers fair punch and contrast, though micro-dynamics could be sharper. Impact is satisfying for day-to-day use.
Details C+
Decent detail retrieval that handles most textures while leaving some micro-information understated. Most textures come through cleanly.
Imaging C-
Average imaging delivers reasonable localization while still lacking pinpoint specificity. You get a reasonable idea of placement.
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
