Truthear Hola 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-
  • A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E-
Expect severely attenuated treble that leaves textures subdued. Everything sounds veiled and muted.
Dynamics E-
It cannot muster meaningful volume gradation, making tracks feel static. It drains life from energetic music.
Soundstage D
Depth collapses quickly, so even with stereo cues the scene feels cramped and two-tiered. It feels constrained even with live tracks.

EarAcoustic Audio x Zkaaai Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

E
  • Expect a discordant presentation where frequency clashes ruin any chance of relaxed listening. It struggles to render a cohesive musical picture.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • Instrument separation collapses instantly, burying nuances and leaving everything in a gray blur. Layered arrangements collapse into a messy haze.
Mids E-
Critical mid frequencies hide in the background, making lyrics hard to catch. Guitars and pianos lose their presence.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics E+
It struggles to convey small volume changes, flattening energetic bursts. Micro-contrast is practically absent.
Soundstage E-
Spatial boundaries clamp shut, forcing the mix to huddle uncomfortably in the middle. Ambient cues disappear entirely.
