Youtube Video Summary
Kiwi Ears Cadenza is a small, smooth single dynamic IEM around 35 dollars that comes with a practical 3.5 mm cable and an unusually generous spread of ear tips for this bracket. The shells are compact and comfortable, with multiple color options that make the set feel more personal than most budget competitors. Thanks to the lightweight design, secure fit and decent venting, it works well as an everyday all rounder that stays in the ear without hotspots.
The tuning is a balanced mild V that places clear emphasis on the mid range and vocals. Bass carries a moderate boost with clean, controlled impact and satisfying sub bass rumble, more about foundation than heavy slam. The mid range is the star, with forward vocals that sound clean, crisp and airy, strong separation between instruments, and excellent clarity for the price, although upper mids can come across a bit too energetic and male vocals may feel slightly lean while female vocals shine more.
Treble has a good sense of detail, adding sparkle and energy without pushing into obvious harshness, and overall technical performance is impressive at this price with very good clarity, separation and perceived detail that can outpace several popular budget peers. Cadenza works well for listeners who want a clean, vocal forward presentation that stays fun and lively while still feeling balanced across genres. It is less suitable for those who are sensitive to forward upper mids or who prefer thicker, weightier male vocals, but for many the mix of comfort, tuning and technical performance makes this a strong budget choice.
