I dont get how headphone-earphone ratings work. Whenever i needed, it never helped me. For example, Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC, has 4.9/5 overall MDAQS rating but it sounds like a cheap walkie-talkie (and yes i tried every eartip) yet Steelseries Nova 5 has 4.2/5 MDAQS and its way much better as immersiveness, more natural etc. I know one of them is IEM and the other is Over-Ear and Over-Ear Headphones have their own benefits since they fully enclose the ear, that makes it significantly easier to deliver a natural soundstage as far as i know.

Now i got Galaxy Buds 4, and it understandably rated low, (For example immersiveness 2/5) which i find natural because it doesnt have the ear tips and thats the only rating i agree with but still i think its way better than Anker Liberty 4 NC.

So, I dont know if im the only one who thinks like that, what are your opinions?
