B-
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Mids B
It offers engaging mid frequencies with pleasing clarity and layering. Details emerge without becoming harsh.
Treble C+
The top end is tidy and serviceable, adding air without overdoing it. Extension is decent for casual listening.

Tanchim One Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E+
  • Tuning is chaotic and fatiguing, with clashing frequencies that make long sessions unbearable. Every song demands frequent volume adjustments.

Average Technical Grade

E-
  • Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.
Mids C-
Midrange is passable yet unrefined, revealing grain and occasional harshness. It sounds a bit grainy on detailed recordings.
Treble E-
Highs sound veiled and distant, draining life from the mix. Hi-hats fade before they start.
Dynamics E-
Dynamic expression is extremely poor, draining impact from every hit. Notes lack the startle or decay they need.
Soundstage D
The presentation sketches a narrow arc while leaving the vertical and frontal layers untouched. Complex mixes blur together quickly.

Best I've heard under $50

Pros
Excellent tuning for the price, small shells should fit vast majority of ears well.
Cons
Touch too much eargain, can come off as shouty/honky at times, easily remedied with 10 band EQ.
