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.

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