Kiwi Ears Astral

Jays Audio: Great all-rounder. Slighty airy with good sub-bass extenion. Balanced but still fun. A cleaner, airier, and less sharp & sparkly version of the Meta - vocals pop out more than Meta. Tip rec Sancai...
Gizaudio Axel: Deep, textured sub-bass, clean and forward mids, airy treble, and great detail. Upper treble can be a bit much, and the bass tuck isn’t for everyone. Great all-rounder with a bright, airy top end.
Jaytiss: Tonality is fantastic.
Tim Tuned: Pros: Clean, techinical v-shape signature with great midrange. Cons: upper treble too much.
IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Astral offers a Meta + mild V-Shaped signature with a pronounced sub-bass shelf and energetic treble extension, deviating from its marketed "reference" label. The 10mm bioceramic...

Jaytiss: A unique open back iem.

Kiwi Ears Orchestra

Jays Audio: Great vocals. Clean and neutral signature. A bit vanilla and "boring" but scales great with volume.
Crin: Very well-tuned reference-y signature with a mild bass and treble emphasis for added energy.
Precogvision: Well-tuned with surprisingly good treble extension. Upwards compressed dynamics contrast poorly with tuning.
Tim Tuned: Pros: Slightly warm neurail tuning, well done.
Shuwa-T: Strengths: Mid-focused, minimal BA timbre, vocals intimate and forward. Weaknesses: Low end is not the most dynamic, bass layering can be difficult to pick out. Comment: Extremely balanced sound, my...

Kiwi Ears KE4

Jays Audio: Just get Odyssey it's better. Warm/bassy with solid vocal and treble extension (not buried) that scales really well with good treble air to not sound too intimate. Has a fuller noteweight with one of...
Gizaudio Axel: Great Meta tuning. Could use more detail, not very engaging. Solid reference.
Jaytiss: It's boring. So boring, like mega boring to the max.
Tim Tuned: Pros: Almost dead neutral tuning in the best of ways. Cons: Lacks excitement, bass is alright.
Super* Review: New Meta tuned IEM. This gives you a bass boost and it's not the best bass. If you want the Hexa + Bass this is what you want.

Kiwi Ears Airoso

Jaytiss: Rich thick, enjoyable. Benchmark for me. Just epic.
IEMRanking AI: The Kiwi Ears Airoso offers a warm, smooth sound signature characterized by a full-bodied bass with satisfying sub-bass rumble and quick decay, though mid-bass impact remains reserved. Its midrange...

Kiwi Ears Aether

Jays Audio: Clean, balanced, with slight air boost in the treble. Bass sounds like a DD with great texture. Cheaper better tuned P5+2. Not as smooth as Timeless 2 with more dynamic contrast with a slight sizzle...
Gizaudio Axel: Balanced sound with clean bass, smooth mids, and detailed treble. Great clarity, wide soundstage, and natural timbre for a planar. Bass might be a bit light, and treble can be a little forward for...
Jaytiss: Not for bassheads, but one of the best planars I've ever heard.
Super* Review: A little bit spicy in the treble (like the other planars). Relaxed upper mid-range. Warmer tuning than S12. It's a decent IEM

Jaytiss: This is a unique sound, for neutral I prefere Airoso.

Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite

Gizaudio Axel: Smooth tuning, clean mid-range, open sound. Unvented design, BA bass, could use more sub-bass, safe tuning.
Jaytiss: It's just too safe, needs more something.

Kiwi Ears x Crinacle: Singolo

Jays Audio: Why. If you like Crin just buy the RED, OG Zero, or Khan. Hype and marketing bait. Not actually "revolutionary". Avoid unless you can get these for under $40.

Kiwi Ears Cadenza

Jays Audio: Basically the modded Zero with slight more bass. Best note-weight out of the $20 sets. Berrylium bass baby.
Jaytiss: An example of the tuning can be good but technicals poor.
Tim Tuned: Pros: Well tuned, energetic signature. Cons: Slightly heady, can be fatiquing.
Super* Review: Strengths: Generally good tuning with some bass exture. Weaknesses: Somewhat grainy treble which is pronounced but not well defined. Comment: It was almost good.
