Aful Explorer Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

A mostly enjoyable signature keeps things listenable despite a handful of quirks. It handles most playlists without major complaints.

Average Technical Grade

A-

You get a controlled, composed performance, marrying decent clarity with a still-modest sense of space. A safe technical performer for the price bracket.

Mids C+

The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.

Treble A-

The treble is exquisitely tuned, combining crystal detail with relaxed delivery. Micro-details emerge effortlessly.

Dynamics A-

You get outstanding dynamic agility, from subtle nuances to big hits. Impact comes with quick recovery.

Soundstage B

You can map the ensemble with confidence thanks to solid spacing and coherent depth layering. Ambient effects feel believable.

Angelears X TFZ Athena Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

It struggles with balance, producing a lumpy response that rarely sounds coherent. Genre hopping highlights glaring inconsistencies.

Average Technical Grade

E+

A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.

Mids C-

It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.

Treble E+

Treble leans dark, softening cymbals and trimming extension. Brightness is replaced with a murky haze.

Dynamics E-

Dynamics barely flicker, leaving energetic sections strangely subdued. There's no punch to latch onto.

Soundstage C+

You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
