Per usual: Westone's stubborn downsloping tuning with abysmal technical performance. Youtube Channel
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
D- Imbalanced but tolerable. Noticeable dips/peaks distract from music; timbres sound unnatural. Lacks versatility across recordings.
Average Technical Grade
D+- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.
