#25

Low-volume and moderate-volume listening are generally favorable, with reviewers finding podcasts, relaxed music, and 25-50% listening clear or acceptable.

#26

Low-volume evidence is limited but positive, with reviewers noting body, presence, or detail remains available at quieter levels.

#27

Low-volume evidence was limited but positive, with reviewers saying 20% volume was enough nearby and room-volume mids/treble were satisfying.

#30

#31

Low-volume and moderate-volume use looked stronger than high-output use, with reviewers noting less coloration or better midbass punch before compression becomes obvious.

#32

#34

Low-volume evidence is limited but mixed, with one reviewer saying dynamics drop too low and another still feeling bass at lower levels.

#35

Low-volume use is supported mainly through Night mode, which reviewers described as reducing bass at night.

#36

Low-volume or background listening is usable, especially in 15W USB-powered mode, but evidence is limited.

#37

Low-volume performance is mixed: low-level dynamics and late-night control can be good, but HDMI volume steps can be too coarse or too loud.

#38

Low-volume performance is mixed: one review praised clear low-volume audio, while another found the v-shaped tuning less convincing at low volume.

#39
