"I can confidently say that for ANYTHING and EVERYTHING, these iems are THE BEST under this price bracket. ... I say that with so much confidence because before buying these, i got the simgot ew200 which I returned. you might have heard people say "go for the ew200 for gaming" but thats complete bullshit. ... i play val myself and i can gladly tell you that the soundstage and 3D imaging on the kleans is far superior to the ew200. the directional audio, figuring out the exact location of the enemy using the kleans is much easier to do with these iems. ... silver. I haven't tried the black ones."
"that set is easily one of the best iems under $100. ... the Klean is the better buy. I really believe that. It is a game changer at $50. I didn't want to say that in my review but I feel you won't find a better set at that price."
"A nice starting point for the $50 price bracket. ... is the best shot I have seen from any company under $50 so far. ... The Kefine Klean is an excellent pair of budget iems... just be aware that you might get a bit spoiled because of the value this one packs. ... it does comes pretty close to other iems on the $80 price range, it is quite the price to performance offering."

"It has very good resolution for the price, but still around what you can expect of this price bracket, sometimes though, I think it borderline is above it ... Detail retrieval is pretty good... excels quite a bit in this regard, totally in line with the price bracket, and, more often than not, borderline above it. ... Imaging is very good, with the direction of the sound, and separation is great, where you can kind of pick-up individual sounds without much problem; this IEM can handle busy tracks just fine"
"Clarity/detail retrieval is great. ... Figuring out different enemies from there footsteps is easy. ... it was the 1st time i realized just how detailed footsteps, gun reloading and shooting sounds in val were after I used the iems. Insane."

"Kefine Klean are extremely comfortable I love the small footprint"
"the shell is comfortable enough and it does fit snugly on the ear ... For people looking for a better fitting alternative to the Truthear Zero Red."
"it fits in my small ears no problem, and the body itself is small."

"well-controlled and detailed treble ... fairly relaxed and unlikely to turn fatiguing or offensive in any way. ... fairly smooth, controlled, there is not signal or shoutiness, so the lower treble is excellently done, and also no sibilance found on part of the driver, on top of that, tracks with sibilance are also pretty well controlled, so, if you are sensitive to treble and sibilance, this one is a pretty safe pick."
"very clean and correct vocals ... The mids are pretty crisp, very clean, and correct. ... the vocals aren’t pushed to the back or thinned out ... probably the best mid-range I have listen to at this price point, checks out all my boxes, and strikes and excellent balance between energy and safeness. ... I just find it to have great qualities for vocals, showing that the driver used by Kefine is of excellent quality."

"Nice rumbly bass, with enough texture and decent punch ... This is when things really get “crazy” with the Kefine Klean, because this driver manages, on top of being extremely clean and natural in the sound, to have a pretty rumbly, energetic kind of bass. ... The bass reaches pretty deep, the rumble has presence, and the mid-bass has some kick to it ... The bass is well controlled and fairly fast"
"An excellently done, balanced IEM with a small lean into the bass, clean, natural and energetic sound that just manages to have everything you need to enjoy music without overdoing any part of it. ... A balanced, slightly bass leaning iem, with smooth-ish correct and precise treble, well-presented clean, natural vocals/mid-range, and quality of rumbly, energetic bass. ... The Kefine Klean is an excellent pair of budget iems that comes to compete with other hard hitters in the $50 price bracket offering what various other companies have failed to achieve: a nice, balanced sounding and safe, well-performing alternative of an allrounder pick."
"The Klean is neutral with bass boost (my favorite kind of neutral 😉)."

"The first impression wasn’t great in terms of fit, because of the interchangeable filters, the nozzle is on the larger side, so it felt a bit stuffy on my ears ... don’t expect the most comfortable fit if you know you have small ear canals. ... I do get a bit tired of wearing them from time to time so, as I said, is not the most comfortable I have ever used"
"Klean is also a bit large in the nozzle, if comfort is very relevant to you, i would rather say the Vivace is better on that regard."
"The stock klean and wan'er eartips feel heavy and uncomfortable arter some time."

"The stock klean and wan'er eartips feel heavy and uncomfortable arter some time."
"if you change the stock cable it improves the bass and treble becoming warmer"
"is a pretty basic cable, a bit rubbery and not tangle free"

"I'm either treble sensitive or it has a pretty bad treble peaking for some songs with really high notes on electric guitars. ... Couldn't enjoy a lot of AC/DC music with the Kefine Klean"
"it is much stronger in high mids (4.5 to 8k) than the the Zero Red and is not great if you’re treble-sensitive."
"I sometimes found male vocals to be a touch too sibilant/harsh"

"be careful with humidity since its a metal shell ... the biggest problem is that it struggles with humidity, well, a lot of cheap metal shell iems do, but Klean is a more specific case."
"The usual I hear is the oxidation of the nozzle tips, which btw I have encountered since it's pretty humid in my area."
"the Klean struggles a bit with humidity ... if you live in a humid country, is not the best pick ... would be a good idea to be storing it with 1-2 packs of silical gel"

"ik but in some songs it can use some punchier bass"
"so don expect the bass to have like the most authoritative slam, it is arguably a bit soft on that regard ... The bass is well controlled and fairly fast, but lacks some physicality to it, you can totally hear it, but you don’t feel it that much."
"Kefine Klean feels very one dimensional and lacks dynamics"
My kefine klean are sitting without a cable in a pouch rn lol Das my thoughts
r/iems • Truthear zero 2 problems and recommendations ->Klean has soo much treble. Idk how people tolerate that, but maybe they'•| old and cant hear it? The edx pro has nice fun peaks that make sounds exciting and zingy. They arent really good but they are enjoyable
r/iems • Truthear zero 2 problems and recommendations ->I got one today and am a happy camper. Iam in love with this little cutie! The build, the sound is charming to me. It kills 5 times more expensive IEMs in my collection! Using it with spinfit w1, the sound is angelical
r/iems • The King Slayer (Kefine Klean review). ->I dont want to force your buying decision : Though I had wanger S.G , kefine klean , chu 2 and kiwi ears cadenza …. Chu 2 and kiwi ear cadenza are great … why you ask that metallic shell iems are not placed at the top … because they absorb moushire and can maybe end of clogging one of the sides in long run ( if you dont of take a good care of iem ) but kiwi ears cadenza are absolutely steal at 35 bucks
r/iems • Best iem for ps5 gaming/daily usage ->I own a klean and it's very good but lacking in bass but the clarity and soundstage is pristine it's my 1st iem so idk how it compares to others but compared to my cheap tws it's pretty damn good
r/iems • My 2025 IEM TIERLIST/RANKING (39 IEMS JUNE FIRST HALF) ->ik but in some songs it can use some punchier bass otherwise its perfect better than anything ive ever used
r/iems • My 2025 IEM TIERLIST/RANKING (39 IEMS JUNE FIRST HALF) ->can't listen to music at all if nozzles are too big and uncomfortable for your ears like they could be on the reds. if you're okay with potentially having to return then sure but they are not a good blind buy just based on fit alone. and no they're not reds are more neutral, kleans are the better allrounder
r/iems • Looking to buy an iem under $50 ->kefine klean are an excellent pick
r/iems • looking for $60 or less IEM recommendations ->i'd take kefine klean over those as an allrounder for music + gaming
r/iems • IEM recommendation around 30-40€ ->closer to 20$ 7hz zero 2. very widely appealing sound signature that covers many music libraries. commonly a default blind buy rec for new comers for 30$ (atleast on black friday) i'd take advantage of the sale and go for kefine kleans. they'll be a stepup from the cheapie 20$ sets, cadenza is generally considered a sidegrade to the 20$ cheapie sets with diff tuning (though still a very nice set as well)
r/iems • Looking for a good low price IEM recommendation for a first timer ->Kefine Klean without a doubt. I owned both and it's just better on all fronts.
r/iems • Budget BEST IEM FOR GAMING ->I have all three IEMs, the Kefine Klean is good for $49 and if you change the stock cable it improves the bass and treble becoming warmer if using the Nicehck GTC5 cable. The Lesthouer S08 is a very good warm planar IEM I think is a really good option with the 25% discounts on Amazon US it comes out at around $66, but check the forums on Amazon it says frequently returned there are users who report problems with the right earbud, I have not had any problems, they sound very different from the Kefine Klean, the sound is somewhat dark with soft and detailed but not extended treble. The best for my personal taste is the Aful Explorer but it is the most expensive $119.99, it has a very organic warm sound, with good bass and detailed and sweet mids with a narrow but very musical presentation and the treble is somewhat attenuated with a certain level of detail. Any of these IEMs are wonderful but if you have the money go for the Aful Explorer if you like the warm signature and good musical representation.
r/iems • Upgrade or something different from my Kefine Klean: Aful Explorer vs Letshuoer S08 ->https://preview.redd.it/45mp2j6jdysf1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=712163b1f2a204c2e5dbe451f767cc5e5dc6f277 Well, I don't agree. If you noticed the difference in audio quality, the thing is that personal tastes are subjective. I have the kefine klean for $49 and the most expensive ones are the isn est80 for $649 and there is a huge difference in audio quality. It's better to have one good IEM than several cheap ones. Sometimes cheap is expensive and expensive is cheap.
r/iems • I quit ->Have: *Using a dac btw *Chu 2 and Kefine Klean are prone to sound damp/loss due to moisture getting trapped in the metal housing. If it happens let it air out or put silica gel next to it. -Kz edc pro(cheapest option; sounds better than my salnotes zero & chu 2 tho unreliable qc) -Salnotes zero(great budget option; clean layered sounds and a bit bassy, plastic housing not really bothersome quite reliable tbh, stock cable sucks tho, my running/jogging iem) -Moondrop chu 2(clean layered sound and neutral tuning, my preferred choice; metal housing, great stock cable, my travel iem) -Kefine Klean(a bit better sounding than every iem i have, best build quality, metal housing, great stock cable, my gaming iem) Currently eyeing: Kinera Celest Simgot ew300
r/ShopeePH • Best IEMs around ₱1,000? ->I got kefine klean Great for gaming and music for my taste
r/iems • Best iems for both gaming and music? mainly on the gaming side. ->Kefine klean for gaming is really good. There is a layer of depth perception as well. Check fresh reviews for more info.
r/iems • BEST IEM(Tell me best iem in your personal opinion) ->Never owned a high end IEM before. The best I got is kefine klean and they already sound phenomenal. I really am unable to feel how audio gets better from here. But the fact that this exists makes me extremely curious. IEMS sure are a crazy market!
