Kinera - Wyvern Pro

Yes.. I switched to my 1st iem a few months back, Kinera Celest Wyvern Pro only for gaming.Normal gaming headsets sound really bad now

If you really need the mic, I think your only option is the Kinera Wyvern Pro, which is around $25-ish. The IEM is OK, but it has a big dip in the treble, which might affect imaging (hearing where sounds are coming from) so that may not be ideal for gaming. If you don't need the mic, Tin Hifi C2 is a better IEM. I don't use them for gaming, but I can confirm they are very good for music. They are also approved by GadgetryTech for gaming - no full review yet, but he gives a mini review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XynoXDaYCmY&t=2422s He's got the 2025 version there, which I believe is about $40 but there's also the older one which is about $20. I have both and the difference between them is tiny. The 2025 has a tiny bit more sub-bass and sounds a bit "fuller", but the older one is easier to get close to a reference neutral sound with the right tips. The shells and everything else are identical, both are great IEMs. You can also buy a separate upgrade cable with a mic. This [KBear one](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000272626428.html) is cheap and the mic is OK. Whether the mic will be up to your quality standards IDK, but it's a basic inline mic and not the worst one I've ever heard. You could probably get that KBear mic cable + the original Tin C2 in your budget. The Wyvern comes with a better mic, the C2 is a better IEM.

Soundwise the zero 2 probably has one of the best tonalities even under 50$, but the accessories are kinda meh. The wyvern has some good ergonomics and build quality and it also has a mic, but the sound is kinda just "ok". So I would choose between these 2 options, it just comes to what plays the leading role for you in IEMs: the comfort, build quality and accessories or sound.

Chu 2 & Wyvern series will have similar tuning if you plan on getting either of the two. Edit: Chu 2 can have slightly more details due to its extended treble as compared to Wyvern series.

Hi! My first IEM is the Kinera Celest Wyvern Pro which i have gotten after going through your review. Im now torn between Simgot EM6L & EW300 std. For Gaming it is worth upgrading from Wyvern pro to them? if yes is the soundstage and imaging between em6l and ew300 justified the price gap? in my area the price of em6l is 50% more than ew300m std.

I got Dunu Titan S2 and a set of Wyvern Black. 4 sets of cables. Nothing too exciting. Just starting out in my journey😂

Wyvern blacks good

Some people dislike that the nozzles on the chu 2 are unlacquered brass and if they get wet will start to get some green oxides. That's literally it. You can wipe the nozzles off every now and then with a paper towel. Also the chu 2 has replaceable filters, unlike anything else. Chu 2 is by far the best all rounder. Wan'er are a total tier down and kz is a shady company not worth supporting (the castor is only okay too) The only $20 options in the same tier as the chu 2 are the kinera wyvern and the tanchjim bunny

I don't have the beast, but I would say the wyvern is as good. Bear in mind that cost isn't always a mark of higher quality. Chu 2, wyvern or tanchjim bunny are my votes

I'd take the Wyvern or look at the 7Hz Zero2. The Wan'er sounds like a paper cone speaker in the mids. No real detail despite having volume there. The Cadenza costs double the Wan'er and sounds worse. Muddy bass with no texture, blurry mids, and peaky treble that still manages to not get in the way. All cymbals sound the same. Just a slow driver overall. I own them all and I've tried them all with many different sets of tips.

The Wyvern's mids are aggressive, and has a great amount of sub bass. I'm a mid-head. I love clean, clear, accurate mids. These are just a bit of all three but at the price point, I can't complain. Divinus Wides and the mids get *real* aggressive. Melodic death metal guitar work... hell, any distorted guitar just pops. So do electronic synths that are meant to bite and dig. Energetic treble without being harsh or piercing. The 7Hz Zero2 are, I feel, a more universal recommendation in terms of signature. V-shaped enough to capture a TWS enjoyer, but not so sucked out that the mids feel like an afterthought. It's a minor revelation to the beginner hobbyist while also being a pretty well performing unit at its price and beyond. The Tripowin Vivace is worth considering. One of my favorites, the KBEar KB01, is a no-brainer.

I'd pick the Wyvern here or the Truthear zero blue 2 tbh

I love that set! Beautiful to look at and very comfortable. However, to my ears, the bass too thumpy and some sounds get lost in the sauce. I find that they're more fun for immersion but not too much for competitive tac shooters

Wyvern is better for smoother, more relaxed listening. Balanced leaning barely bright. It’s a great set. Castors (both) are better for that analytical listening. Bass version is better for that more bassy kind of listen while Silver is better for that more detail oriented listening. If your looking for a warm super bassy listen, consider the KZ Dawn Silver.

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.

Only heard the Wyvern: I bought these for my GF, and tested them for a day. They are a nice set that played most everything very well (for the price). TBH, they look so incredibly pretty that I would just buy them for the looks and use while budgeting for an upgrade.

Kinera Celest Wyvern (Abyss/ Black) - Cheap in price but punch well above their pricetag - Great All-rounder Kinera Celest IgniteX - Bright ish well done V shaped, technically capable lil Beast - Top under 50 SGOR Luna - Best Budget Magnetic Planar Juzear Clear - Great Bassy iem - In quantity and quality.

Idk who's advertising multi driver sets so much or why but a simple 10mm dlc or lcp driver iem like the kinera wyvern will be more cohesive in the sou dstage and image cause one driver. And cheaper. and more fun sounding

If you want full bass punch, get the pro bass, for anything else, probably better go for the Kinera, both have a bit of a big nozzle tho.

for gaming vivace is the best pick under $30, Wyvern is good, but a bit more focused on vocals, fit is not so great tho, similarly to Cadenza (nozzle is larger).

Owned both - wyvern I flipped asap as it was a boring listen. No regret letting it go. Castor Pro I flipped too only because I felt it wont get much listening time among my similar sets, and its large feeling fit. But it is a much more competent iem than the wyvern with tuning flexibility with its switches. I have slight regret selling it. Right now, in price range of these two, I'd recommend the hzsound white snow - best stock tuning, sq among my ultra budget collection.

I find the Wyvern very flat in comparison to the Castor Pro. I found myself straining to hear the base and kept trying to push them deeper into my ear. I have the mic boom option and regret it. The weight of the boom is enough to cause the earpiece to constantly shift out of the desired placement in my ear. Found it annoying and nearly trashed it just cos of that. I guess a foam tip will help solve this issue. I feel like it's a quality product but I would have liked to have some ability to tweak it to my liking. As far as 'look and feel' it's probably the best looking iem right now, hard to beat in looks. Build quality is solid. The Castor Pro however also looks really good and I feel like the build slightly edges ahead of the Wyvern. I like how the connector pins on the cables have a protective housing whereas the Wyvern cables have the pins fully exposed. In terms of sound quality it's clearly superior in terms of staging and provides a richer, fuller experience. This combined with the ability to tweak the eq to a degree make it my choice between the two. The Wyvern is treble biased to the point that some of my favourite songs i listened to were nearly unrecognizable or sounded altered. Both are great products with a premium feel but the Castor Pro feels like they've put lots of time and consideration into producing a quality product that also comes in at a great price point. I must say that I was really dissapointed by the performance of the Wyvern but what it has done is give me a new appreciation of the Castor Pro.
