Light shell, easy seal, comfortable for hours

Each part is rated on one scale for every earbud and headphone, from lab test measurements where they exist, what reviewers found, specs and owner reports. It rates the product itself, not how good it is for the price.

Pros

  • Deep, tight sub-bass without bloat
  • Dense, natural mids and smooth, airy treble
  • Big, out-of-head stage with good detail
  • Comfortable medium shell that seals easily
  • Tough polycarbonate shell, nice faceplate
  • Balanced tuning with quick, controlled bass
  • Natural, clear vocals

Cons

  • Wants a powerful dongle; sounds compressed on weak sources
  • Centre vocals less sharply defined than the best
  • Only average isolation
  • Bass fans may want more
  • Plainer design than the original
  • Narrow stage and imaging in their view
  • Not for bass lovers
  • HeadfonicsFeb 2026

    A recommended entry single-driver set with a clean, spacious sound, as long as you feed it from a strong source.

  • Prime AudioFeb 2026

    A clear step up from the first Cadenza in sound, if plainer looking; hard to fault at its price.

  • Creative BloqFeb 2026

    A safe, balanced budget IEM with quality build and cable, in a very crowded field.

  • The HeadphoneerApr 2026

    A smooth, warm, relaxed set; a different flavour rather than a technical upgrade over Kiwi's other budget models.

  • Alpha Audio2026

    A balanced crowd-pleaser with nothing overdone, better rounded than Kiwi's mid-focused Belle.
