What to listen for

  • Center Anchor Drift: If a centered (0.0) tone pulls slightly toward one ear, adjust earbud insertion depth.
  • Smooth Soundstage: Panning sound should travel in an unbroken arc across your head from Left to Right.
  • Volume Continuity: Sound should remain consistent in volume without fading when passing through the center.
