Kind of Harman-ish, but not. Heavy on the bass and sharp in the treble.

A sightly more airy/detailed EW300 with better timbre. Warm leaning all rounder with good dynamic contrast.

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 shines with a natural and organic presentation, particularly excelling with female vocals, though some male vocals lack weight. Treble is relaxed and non-fatiguing, providing decent air but lacking sparkle and ultimate detail retrieval.

Comfort is a mixed bag; the lightweight resin shells with CNC aluminum/titanium faceplates are praised by some, but others report significant fit challenges due to the shell shape and nozzle design, requiring tip rolling beyond the included selection. The stock cable is widely criticized as basic and low-quality for the price point, though the detachable 2-pin design allows for upgrades. Soundstage is reasonably spacious but not particularly expansive, with imaging being competent rather than exceptional.
