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.

Rose Technics Star City 5 Pro Scorings

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

C+

The presentation is steady if unspectacular, holding onto essential details when the music stays simple. Fine details occasionally slip through the cracks.

Mids C+

It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.

Treble C+

The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.

Dynamics B

The performance feels robust, with satisfying punch and natural transitions. Nuances are easy to follow.

Soundstage C+

Stage expands beyond the shoulders and finally hints at layers, though vertical cues stay muted. Depth cues begin to emerge.
