Kiwi Ears Stardust – Sometimes Cohesion Matters More
The $77 Kiwi Ears Stardust combines a warm-neutral tuning with excellent coherence, textured bass and a smooth, fatigue-free presentation. It isn’t the sharpest or most analytical hybrid around, but with female vocals and post-rock in particular, the Stardust becomes an incredibly enjoyable and musical listen.

The Kiwi Ears Cadenza II Might Be All You Need to Start
Kiwi Ears Cadenza II comes in at just $50, but it doesn’t sound like a budget set. With standout mids, surprisingly textured bass, and a tuning that just works, it’s an easy listen no matter what you throw at it. After plenty of time with it, the Cadenza II has comfortably replaced the OG as…

Étude – Kiwi Ears Gets Physical
Kiwi Ears have had a raft of releases recently, the latest one I have here is their Étude, which has a Beryllium DD + 3BA + Vibration Transducer. I’ve tried some bone conductor IEM’s in the past so have a decent idea what to expect, the biggest difference here is the price. The Étude comes…

250 sets in… and the Kiwi Ears Septet still surprised and delighted me
What an intriguing set! I’ve had open TWS before, but I don’t think I’ve had an open IEM, at least nothing memorable. In my headphone stable I have many, many open sets so was looking forward to how this would translate, and if some of the upsides (and downsides) of open sets would come with…
