Kiwi Ears - Singolo

InAwaken Dawn Ms or Kefine Klean. I prefer the Dawn. The Artti T0 is also solid, but I find it super uncomfortable, as I said above. There are also some outliers in the sub $60 category. Like the Ziigaat Cinno, which is usually 50% off at <$50. The KiwiEars Singolo is also a good set. But it needs different tips, and it needs a different cable. The stock tips and cable are literally EWaste. Total junk. If you have an extra cable, great, extea tips, your golden. But if you have to buy either, it kills the price proposition. And the Dawn is a little brighter, and better accessorized. (Both are based off the same shell) The TRN Shell is also really solid with an amazing accessories package. Unbeatable value. If you are curious in a hybrid with EW300 like tuning, without the EW300 ear mode issues.

Ditto; at $39.50 they're a steal.

I'd skip the Cadenza; to me they're both tinny (treble) and hollow (bass). Honestly if you like neutral tunes the Tangzu Wan'er 2 are great at $20, and I've heard few pairs under the $100 mark that are substantially better. Maybe look at the Kiwi Ears x Crinacle Singolo if you lwant Kiwi Ears; they're wildly overpriced at MSRP but they're basically half off everywhere these days and they're good at 40 USD.

The Singolo has a relatively long nozzle so you might need to size down on tips, but once you get a good fit they're very comfortable. I missed the question in the post, but the Zero:RED is also a great earphone. I gave it a 4+/5. They're a little bassier than the Singolo, and I think their soundstage isn't quite as wide.

$20 each: Tangzu Wan'er 2 (neutral), 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 (bassy), Moondrop Chu II (mildly v-shaped) $35 (on sale; original MSRP $80): Kiwi Ears x Crinacle Singolo (v-shaped). Personally I really, really like the Singolo, but the $20 ones are all great IEMs.

The Kiwi Ears Singolo. A lot of people thought it was overpriced when it was launched, and I think Kiwi did overstep a little pricing it at 80. The set came with completely useless eartips and a meh cable. I popped some wide tang sancais on so I could use them. I picked mine up at its new perma-sale price of 40 and honestly it’s become one of my favorite sets under 100. The resonator system they developed leaves a very satisfying, textured midbass that would normally bleed into other frequencies if not for the KARS system. The resonator allows for much greater tuning variation. The result is an incredibly unique set with excellent tuning, tonality and texture. That got completely overlooked because it came with unusable eartips and a gimmick that was hard to quantify the value of. But to those willing to try, it’s excellent value for 40. To me there’s not much competition in its price range (of 40). Unless you find a Cinno for 50, but that’s another rant.

They’re a similar tuning, but the Singolo is a little bassier. Both Crinicle collabs. I much prefer the Singolo personally as I find the Reds a bit clinical, dry. Singolo is more fun without being obnoxious .

Honestly worth it. I find if I take them out for around 20 minutes, I'm good to go again. People understate bass quantity on these. Much more than s12 2024 and make Arya Stealth seem anaemic. Kiwi Ears Singolo feels like a little 8 inch subwoofer and the Tea Pros feel like dual 15s... Using a Fiio BTR15 for wireless and Fiio K7 for desktop use.

New Crinacle IEM means the same lifeless boring sound signature, questionable accesories and huge nozzles. Plus higher than justified price, but all driven by a hype train. Hard pass

The Singolo went back, couldn't get on with the fit. The Septet took my brain a fair few hours to adjust to what I was hearing. They are seriously good, got them in now, brighter than what I'm used to, I'm rather treble sensitive, but these things, quite simply WOW.

They are pretty similar to the Zero Reds, smaller nozzle. I think they target the same tuning but have a 300hz cut. I think they are great for $39.50 at Amazon on the US. At $80 there was too much to compete with, including $55 Zero Red. At $40 I think they are pretty great and the solid resin shell is pretty nice and not something I've seen often under $100, let alone under $50.

I have the exact same experience with the Singolo. Great value at 40

Moondrop kato, i had it, its V shape sound with a great bass sound. Kiwi, and KZ iems are great too However there’s many options at this price range,

im on kiwi ears, no waifu 💀

I am new to this so I did buy the kiwi from lowest range price which is recommended here

So. I started trying to get a bunch of sets to see how much the difference is between the low range and the middle range ( my middle is probably a lot of people’s low range ! ). These are like a quick comment on the sets. (Spoiler : the zero 2s were awesome ) Super mix 4 - perfectly neutral Green dragon - neutral, less dynamic range Black lightning- flat, no dynamic range , uncomfortable fit Zero2 - balanced, touch more silky smooth bass. Hyper comfortable. Kiwi ears - zero2 , bass a bit more direct

I own both and I would have to say the Tea Pros are just all around better for gaming. The Kiwi's were the king for a long time but when I switched to the Tea Pros I was blown away by the upgrade. I'm actually selling my Kiwi's right now. That's how good the Tea pros are.

I play mostly FPS games and everything feels pinpoint accurate. Not to mention the added bass allowing for better audio cues on footsteps. The Kiwi's were a little too high in the treble for my liking and I could never go for long sessions without feeling very fatigued

I love the sound of the Blue 2’s, but I tried the Tangzu Fudu, Kiwis and 7hz - the only reason I’m considering others is because they feel so much better in my ears. But the sound signature has been better on the Truths by far
