Average Tunign Grade

C+

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

Average Technical Grade

E+

The presentation is claustrophobic and blurred, leaving simple arrangements sounding chaotic and lifeless. The presentation feels more like background noise than music.

Mids C+

Midrange performance is decent, offering balanced presence without major flaws. It works well for casual background listening.

Treble E+

Treble feels muted, reducing brilliance and sheen across tracks. Recordings lack their usual energy.

Dynamics C+

Dynamic performance is decent, delivering respectable macro swings with limited nuance. There's a fair amount of macrodynamic swing.

Soundstage B

Good soundstage with proper width and depth, placing instruments in clearly defined positions. Instruments sit in their own lanes.
