SeeAudio x Z Reviews Rinko Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E+
  • The tonal profile is unruly and tiring, forcing constant volume adjustments. Even spoken word sounds unnatural.

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 D
Tonal balance in the mids is erratic, with certain notes leaping out unnaturally. Certain notes leap out while others vanish.
Treble E-
Upper frequencies retreat, causing detail and brilliance to disappear. You may think your source is covered.
Dynamics E-
Dynamics barely flicker, leaving energetic sections strangely subdued. There's no punch to latch onto.
Soundstage D
A small, boxy image grants a hint of stereo movement yet refuses to extend outward or upward. Front/back layering is virtually flat.
