Moondrop Starfield 2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

C-

Treble C-
Treble performance is average, audible but short on refinement. There's acceptable presence but limited finesse.
