7Hz Elua Ultra VS Kiwi Ears Belle

Youtube Video Summary

Compact and comfortable, the 7Hz Elua Ultra brings a tidy dual dynamic driver package for around $30. The rounded shell uses a pretty metal faceplate, sits light in the ear, and isolates better than the 7Hz Zero/Zero 2. Details: flat 2-pin connectors, proper venting, two colorways, and a nozzle that grips tips well. The stock cable is fine for the price—right-angled 3.5 mm, 7Hz branding—but the Y-split wanders and there are no clear L/R markers. A handful of colorful tips is included; nothing fancy, but serviceable.

Sonically, this is a bassy, engaging tune with glidey, impactful low end, upper mids that are present without shout, and treble that’s acceptable yet a bit grainy with limited air and microdetail. The midrange can read a touch lean depending on normalization, giving a mild V/U flavor; still, the overall tonality feels fun and easy to enjoy. Compared against peers, it’s cleaner and less hissy than very V-shaped sets like the G1, shows more bass and upper mids than 7Hz Zero 2, yet can’t match higher-tier options (e.g., Punch Audio Martillo) for technical performance. Verdict: a solid B—good value and a worthwhile pick for listeners wanting a budget bass emphasis, even if the “twinkle” and ultimate resolution are a step behind pricier favorites.

$30 budget set with a surprisingly solid build: a metal faceplate for added durability, a light, comfortable shell that isolates well, and a flat 2-pin socket for easy cable swaps. The included tips are a fair assortment, and the stock cable—3.5 mm, soft on skin, non-microphonic, chin slider, and clear L/R markers—feels perfectly fine for the price. Aesthetics are simple and clean, and overall fit and finish inspire confidence.

Sonically, Belle shares DNA with Kiwi Ears Cadenza but shifts slightly: a touch more mid-bass for extra warmth and punch, a quick driver with good detail and pleasing treble for the tier. The trade-off is a mildly U/V-shaped balance where the midrange can sit a bit behind on complex mixes—vocals may feel slightly scooped with the occasional boxy/nasal hue and potential fatigue on treble-forward tracks. On graphs this presents as a bass shelf with elevated upper mids/air, yielding a fun, engaging listen with decent extension. Versus peers: more agreeable tonality than many at the price; very close to Cadenza (Belle’s upper treble is less scratchy and staging/fine grain feel a touch better), while sets like Tanchjim Bunny lean flatter/more neutral and 7Hz Zero sits calmer through the mids. As a value pick now, Belle earns a full recommendation; existing Cadenza owners may not find a dramatic upgrade and might consider stepping up to something like K4 instead, but for first-time buyers Belle is a fun, cohesive update in Kiwi’s budget line.

7Hz Elua Ultra doubles down on fun with a 10 mm + 8 mm dual-dynamic (LCP) design and a smoothed, modified-Harman tilt. The result is a lively V/W flavor: a proper ~10 dB sub-bass shelf that stays tight, forward-enough vocals, and an energetic upper treble that invites turning the volume up. Tuned for pop and EDM, it comes across as a clear, high-engagement banger without burying the mids.

The surprise is control: bass remains tidy rather than boomy, the mid-bass dip creates space so the mids sound open and resolved, and the presentation expands into a stadium-style stage with vivid imaging. Treble transitions smoothly from lower to upper into air, giving synths real soar; compared with EDC Pro, Elua Ultra feels bigger and technically cleaner at the price.

While the emphasis is on fun over natural timbre and the upper treble can run bright for sensitive ears, the overall package performs strongly for its bracket: turn it up, enjoy the energy, and sample dual-DD excitement for very little money.

Youtube Video Summary

Kiwi Ears Belle aims straight at listeners who want a warm, bassy and extremely smooth presentation around the $50–60 mark. The low end is the main event here: there’s plenty of impact, thickness and rumble, giving the sound a rich, weighty character that can feel almost Diablo-like but with a bit more vocal presence. Up top, the treble and upper mids are very tame with basically no peaks, so vocals and highs stay relaxed and non-fatiguing even over longer sessions.

That relaxed top end comes with trade-offs in technical performance. The Belle doesn’t really push out much treble sparkle, the vocals stay smooth rather than crisp, and the overall presentation can lack that wow factor in detail and air. With so much low end in the mix, separation and transients take a slight hit, and sets like the KZ Zenith, Aüra Ultras and Clean are described as clearly more capable when it comes to raw resolution and definition at a similar price point.

From a value standpoint, Kiwi Ears Belle is not the default choice for detail chasers or technical heads, especially with stronger performers nearby in the price bracket. Where it makes sense is for those who want an extra-warm, thick, very bass-forward IEM that stays ultra-smooth and easy on the ears, with decent scaling but no sharpness. In that context, Belle comes across as a solid, cozy option—especially if picked up on sale.
