Kiwi Ears Orchestra Review — Headfonics Kiwi Ears Orchestra Review — Headfonics

Comfortwise, these earphones are spectacular once you put them on. They disappear after being inserted due to their small size and how lightweight they are. Additionally, with various types of tips (both included and others I used), they always provided an exceptional seal to the ear, I had to take one out of my ear to understand what someone next to me was trying to say. Comfort and isolation, overall, are almost a 10. The small detail I would mention is that they protrude slightly due to their shape, but it's not something that bothers me except for specific use cases like using them while lying down. The Simgot EW200 is definitely better in the technicalities than the Cadenza and is on par in terms of timbre to the Cadenza when compared. The EW200 leans slightly to the brighter side of the spectrum and is miles airier when compared to the Cadenza.Having reviewed a lot of great equipment recently, I’m conscious I’m repeating myself when I say this pair of IEMs helped me enjoy discovering new details in my music, enjoying old favorites in a new way. Most of the time, when this happens, it’s one aspect of the sound signature that grabs my attention. With the Kiwi Ears, there were distinctive qualities that revealed themselves across the frequency spectrum. Last but worth mentioning. Don't listen to this iem empty stomach otherwise you will eat up whole iem since it gives a feel of green candy in your hand. Shells are extremely extremely gorgeous to look at. 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. The Orchestra Lite has a distinct but restrained pinna gain region centered around 2.5 kHz. This is not ideal for my head-related transfer function and results in less separation between instrumentation and vocals than I would prefer. Instrument separation is variable. For example, there is better instrument separation between male vocals and analog percussion than there is between male vocals and distorted electric guitars. As a result, overall midrange clarity is average at best. The Kiwi Ears Cadenza’s more pronounced pinna gain hump, which is centered at 3 kHz, worked more consistently for me. The lower midrange has plenty of body and warmth despite the linear mid-bass response. Male and female vocals are roughly even in emphasis, though female vocals are more intelligible. Female vocals can occasionally sound strident but generally sound excellent. The Orchestra Lite has very natural-sounding timbre for an all-BA IEM.

I have had one of these for about a year, so far no issues. But then again, I baby my stuff, never use them while exercising and always storing them in hard cases when on the go. AMPLIFICATION REQUIREMENTS AND SOURCE PAIRING:​The Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite can be powered by the Apple dongle. For me to reach my usual listening level with Spotify Normalization set to “Normal”, I had to set my Pixel 7’s volume to 20/25. Depending on your preferences, you may not have to adjust your volume as high. I experienced no hissing with any of my devices.

Design

The Kiwi Ears Cadenza is by far the best IEM under 50 USD in terms of tonal performance. “Neutral”, mild-u-shaped, “harman”, and “balanced” are the main descriptors of the Cadenza, and also lean to a slight warmish tone most of the time. Let's get to my opinions on the sound, I have used a variety of devices including but not limited to my ifi Gryphon, Tempotech V6, Dethonray SG1, TRI TK-2, Questyle M15, Aune S1X, SMSL SP200, and Hidizs XO. Music in formats from High MP3 to DSD. This IEM is an incredible value proposition due to its pleasant, slightly warm tonality, relaxed character, solid technical performance, and excellent build quality .
