Kiwi Ears - Orchestra

Agreed, the Aether is this expressive and emotional sound. I would argue if money isn’t an issue try the Kiwi Ears septet as it’s my favourite out of the Kiwis I’ve tried (ranking in order from best to worst) Septet, Aether/Orchestra, Quintet, anything else, then the Etude as these were seriously muddy imo

Try an EQ before buying anything else. I'm using a Kiwiears Orchestra with a huge bass EQ shelf and it sounds great without being muddy.

(noble iems arent good) and kiwi ears is insane value their wooden ciems are the best looking iems out there though

Moondrop kato, i had it, its V shape sound with a great bass sound. Kiwi, and KZ iems are great too However there’s many options at this price range,

I've had multiple iems, but the one I've stuck to for a while now is the kiwi ears. They have a really nice eq and they are decently cheap, I actually bought my second pair recently after using my first pair for over 2 years. I put the moondrop spring tips on them and they are the comfiest ear buds i have ever used. I use those tips on all my earbuds now they are so good.

Sound is subjective. What sounds good for me probably wont sound good to you. Start cheap, try TRN, they make the best cheap iems hands down. I tried KZ, kiwi ears, letshuoer and my TRN VX pro plus are my daily drivers. I have more expensive iems but they are catching dust because I absolutely dont like the sound they provide. Also my biggest disappointment spending 200-400 bucks and then not having a good soundstage or clarity. Meanwhile, this $40 chinese iem, provides me with 3D audio, I can feel the distance of the instruments. Also for gaming, forget about it, ppl say im cheating all the time, mind you, im just hearing the enemy. And the clarity and details. Btw, im going to add a video link of ppl trying out random iems without knowing price point and namebrand and giving their opinion which one to them sounds better. https://youtu.be/eJGwS_I8m4E?si=b27nMz_FSYOK4dEF

im on kiwi ears, no waifu 💀

That's the magic of Kiwi Ears, my friend. There's no going back, ever.

I am new to this so I did buy the kiwi from lowest range price which is recommended here

I love the sound of the Blue 2’s, but I tried the Tangzu Fudu, Kiwis and 7hz - the only reason I’m considering others is because they feel so much better in my ears. But the sound signature has been better on the Truths by far
