Kinera - Gumiho

I always used to use headphones on ear but for practicality I decided to buy some IEM Kinera Celest and I really like them. I don't deny that after a while it bothers me to feel them in my ear but it is not very often, as for games the truth is that I don't play competitive titles but in 3D games if I notice that spatiality especially when I use Hesuvi, for example in Monster Hunter 3 ultimate I clearly distinguish the monsters when they come from around me or fly over me. There are iems that have a better soundstage but they are usually more expensive. I also use an inexpensive dac dongle (Tempotec Sonata HD III).

Not much but I tried Artti T10, TRN Kirin, Shozy P20, Hidizs MP145 and Kinera Gumiho (1BA + 1SPD). All of them have at least one of things I wrote before. I will never have planar IEM in my collection

I have the Kineras, got them from AliExpress for like 15€ and I really like them! I did change the tips for the ones that come with the chu 2 and that made them a lot more comfortable. They sound great imo :)

I 100 % agree with your assessment. I read so many articles and posts praising the Reds so they were my first purchase and... I just don't hear it. Disappointed 100%. Tip rolling did improve the sound but it was still unsatisfying. It was just so... bland. I then bought Celest Wyvern Black for $25 and wow, what a difference. So clear, punchy bass, and in overall, a great sounding IEM. This led me to purchase the following: Celest Relentless, KZ PRX, KZ Zenith, and Kiwi Ears Aether. All sound amazing. While some on the list are more expensive than then the Reds, PRX (planar) and the aforementioned Wyvern are cheaper and both are leaps and bounds better than the Reds

Kinera Celest PhoenixCall Underrated and rarely mentioned.
