Moondrop May Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

C-

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

Average Technical Grade

Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.

Mids C+

Expect a competent midrange that keeps vocals grounded and instruments clear. Tone is acceptable across multiple genres.

Treble D

Treble response is uneven, jumping between dull spots and sharp peaks. Peaks poke out unpredictably.

Dynamics C+

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

Soundstage B

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