Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • The tonal profile is unruly and tiring, forcing constant volume adjustments. Even spoken word sounds unnatural.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Hopelessly smeared and congested, it struggles with basic instrument separation and loses detail even in simple tracks. Even casual listening quickly becomes tiring.
Mids D
Mid frequencies swing wildly, colouring vocals and instruments unpredictably. Instruments trade places unpredictably.
Treble E-
Upper frequencies retreat, causing detail and brilliance to disappear. You may think your source is covered.
Dynamics E-
The set struggles to convey any punch or swell, sounding one-note. Percussion hits sound limp.
Soundstage E+
Stage size reaches slightly past the ears but still feels flattened and congested. Depth cues are almost absent.
