Kinera - Plutus Beast

I've tried iems from 90 to 350 dollars, all of which were bone Conductors. Plutus Beast $89, Pula Anvils $200, $240 Winds, Winter ultras $250, DMA $300, and Fan3s $350. I found detailing and good separation definitely sounded better on more expensive iems for the most part. Even after trying all Bone Conductors under 400 I still find myself wanting something more, I love the Fan3s but it still has some siblance issues and requires a good bit of power to use at $350 without a discount. The cheapest sounded ok then I got the anvils and was so happy. Then I tried the winds and realized separation and crescendos sucked on anvils but it wasn't bassy and rumbly. So I got the winter ultras and they just sucked at the same price point. So then I got the DMAs and they were pretty good but had issues with separation too. Still liking the Winds at 250 bucks, but needed fun bass. The Fan3s have great details and fun. And is the best I have tried so far. So I guess it just depends. But it does get better, the next jump up for me would be $500 for the new Flipears Aegis. But I just can't drop that easily. Already told the wife no more than 300 lol. I think at $300ish you can find a great set and I've heard great things about the tea pros. I just found bone conductors fun and it helped limit my choices because there are a crap ton of IEMs on the market. Good luck

Kinera plutus beast, that's probably what an ear rape feels like but at least they look kinda cool.

I bought them for the same reason but the vocal presence is just too much even at lower volume, definetly not worth it

You could sell the ones you used previously though, even if its not that easy to sell them im doing that in order to test out different driver configurations and tunings. I currently own two, the hzsound luna and kinera celest plutus beast. Both of which I wanted to try their drivers and eq them to my liking. Idk what my next one will be but it will definitely replace either of the two before coming home.

If you really, really want to try a BC driver, you can do what I did and pick up the KBear KB02 for about $20. Although I have to say, the Plutus Beast is much better looking, which nearly tempted me into buying it. Anyway, if you do get the KB02 consider that you're basically throwing away $20 for a novelty experience which you probably won't listen to again. The BC drivers do have a real effect, almost like haptics, but the tuning sounds like you're listening to music through a cardboard tube. There's also a weird resonance from the BC driver with certain frequencies. AFAIK the Plutus Beast has basically all the same issues, but it's more expensive. At least with the KB02 you aren't wasting too much money to try it out, if you really have a bad case of the FOMO. Also if you are wondering about higher end BCDs like the Thieaudio Origin, apparently that's a different type. I don't think there's a budget option with that kind of driver, so experiences with the KB02 or Plutus Beast won't give you any real idea what IEMs like the Origin are like. I didn't find that out until after I got my KB02. But also, some reviewers describe things like the springy resonance being the same on all of them, so maybe the difference isn't that big anyway. I will say that it has killed my interest in BCDs including the Origin, as I now see it as just a gimmick, like 3D movies.

Out of the 3? Wyvern. It’s a great set but it has smooth details so it’s not the most analytical set. Castor Silver has less sub bass than the Wyvern. Castor silver is also more bright leaning with sharper details. If you want a smooth relaxing set, the Wyvern and IgniteX Beast are great sets for that. The Castor Silver is more bright and analytical. I personally would pick the Wyvern for a relaxed and smooth listen. I have all the IEM’s mentioned above.
