About this deal

The timbre of both sound signatures has a natural character, with the Cadenza being slightly warmer. Over the last 6 months or so, the extreme budget range has seen some very good entries, each one raising the bar just a little bit more than the last. Some had tunings that I preferred more than others but there was no doubt that the ultra cheap IEM world has seen some fierce competition, which is great for those looking for good sound at an even better price. There is a single golden KiwiEars branding on the left shell, in its faceplate, whilst the right side has no other design cues and interruptions. There are two vents on each driver facing upwards, and the other one facing towards your ear. I've seen people talking about them having insufficient treble, but I can't confirm that, treble rolls off only after 15kHz, which is a nice result. Beryllium diaphragm drivers are still considered the pinnacle of dynamic drivers in speakers, headphones, and earphones.

Kiwi Ears Orchestra is a recent flagship IEM by Kiwi Ears, a relatively new player in the audiophile earphone market. Little is known about the company, although, it’s said to be a brand of a veteran unnamed designer that has tuned some of the most popular ChiFi IEMs. It uses a 2-pin connector, my preferred connector type. MMCX connectors may become loose with frequent cable swapping. The proximal ends of each cable have a ‘L’ and ‘R’ letting to delineate the left and right sides respectively. Mids sound okay and have no major qualms about it. Instruments sound good and vocals do too with a few instances of being a tad bit thin sounding. I would also like it if this sounded more engaging.

This applies for most countries. However, large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs (e.g. HarmonicDyne G200, MUSICIAN MDP-2, and etc.) are excluded. Note weight is thinner on the Heart Mirror, and the timbre is less natural. The Heart Mirror are a league or two ahead in technicalities, with superior instrument separation, micro-details, clarity, and imaging. Soundstage is similarly intimate on both pairs of IEMs. Thank you for a very well-rounded and thorough review of PRODUCT OR SERVICE. We appreciate your hard work in putting this review together and know it will be helpful and informative for your customers. Have a good day! The upper mids are forwards without veering to shoutiness, which is a tough line to balance. Vocals are natural but may take a seat or two behind the music, given the tuning choices. Treble

Cadenza (B- ); Tonality-wise well balanced, driver spec is just the average or slightly above average DD The Cadenza features a 2-pin connector for use with a variety of cables. This allows customization of your IEM-cable combinations, as well as extends the longevity of the Cadenza. The Cadenza comes standard with a 4-core braided copper cable with a 3.5mm single-ended termination for use with most smartphones, computers, and audio devices. About Kiwi Ears Really good tuning for something so cheap. The bass hits hard enough and does not feel bloated, the mids are clear and not recessed and the treble extension is simply awesome. Would recommend these if you are looking for a slightly coloured sound signature without compromising the instruments and vocal clarity. These are not for you if you prefer a neutral style of tuning. The Cadenza is a single dynamic driver IEM utilizing a large 10mm Beryllium diaphragm driver. Beryllium diaphragm drivers are still considered the pinnacle of dynamic drivers in speakers, headphones, and earphones.Treble​The treble of the Ova extends outward a bit better with sharper notes and still better weight and body to those notes. The plus on the Cadenza is the more disciplined sound up top. Not better but possibly more composed. Also, I think the Cadenza has the more natural treble tuning with a much more authentic rise and decline through the treble. However, details are drawn to the surface a hair better on the Ova possibly out of sheer boost in the presence and air regions but that is only by a hair, and also that is very easily debatable. The Ova is simply more energetic in its treble to the more reserved and tolerable Cadenza and sound a bit further extended and airy. Midrange: Mids are full bodied are rich, there are no harsh edges here just simple organic and with just the right, well everything. No they are not the most emphasized or detailed or technically best but what they are is well tuned, well placed and very pleasant and natural sounding.
