Reviewer Score
The Kinera Celest Yaksha combines a 2DD+1BA+1 micro-planar driver setup with a four-way crossover, resulting in a coherent yet distinctly V-shaped sound. Bass emphasis leans toward the mid-bass, delivering satisfying punch and slam for genres like hip-hop and EDM, though sub-bass texture and speed feel less refined. Vocals, particularly female vocals, carry notable energy and forwardness in the upper midrange, but this can border on shoutiness with certain tracks, while male vocals occasionally take a backseat. Treble remains smooth and non-fatiguing, prioritizing listenability over sparkling extension or airiness.
Technically, the Yaksha presents a moderately wide soundstage but lacks significant depth and height, creating a more intimate headspace. Instrument separation is competent in less complex passages, but layering can struggle during busy sections, falling short of class-leading resolution. The ergonomic resin shells offer comfort for extended sessions, though achieving an optimal seal is crucial and tip-dependent. The included 6N OCC Litz cable with interchangeable 3.5mm/4.4mm plugs is a practical inclusion, though its colorful design might clash aesthetically with the shell options.
Ultimately, the Yaksha excels as a forgiving, non-critical listen best suited for dynamic, bass-forward genres where its warmth and vocal energy can shine. Its tuning sacrifices ultimate detail retrieval and sub-bass control for a consistently engaging and musical presentation. Listeners seeking a smooth, fun signature with solid build and accessories will find merit, but those prioritizing neutrality, technical precision, or deep sub-bass rumble might explore alternatives.
