I’ve spent a good amount of time critically and leisurely listening to the Cadenza. I’ve burned them in, swapped cables, tip rolled, and I think I’ve gotten this set to a solid place for an educated review. So, I think I’ve wasted enough digital ink on the mindless blabber… friends, the Kiwi Ears Cadenza… Both have U-shaped sound signatures but in different flavours. T2 DLC tonality tries to be more neutral sounding and yet retain its balanced tuning aspect while Cadenza is more of warmer and relaxed tonality. T2 DLC has more air in brilliance treble region.

Vocals: The mid-range looks very smooth, in my opinion a bit to the front, which allows you to enjoy smooth and pleasant vocals, despite the darker side of the presentation. The midrange is saturated and extended, although I slightly miss the detail characteristic of more expensive constructions, especially those with multiple fittings. On the other hand, the vocals, in particular the female ones, are really great and engaging.The transition to the mids is quite similar in both, although I give a slight smoother transition to the Zero. This frequency sounds organic in both IEMs, but the Zero is more resolving with a slight advantage. There is a single golden KiwiEars branding on the left shell, in its faceplate, whilst the right side has no other design cues and interruptions. There are two vents on each driver facing upwards, and the other one facing towards your ear. In this tango, the instruments have well-defined positions, and Kiwi Ears’ IEM had no trouble accurately placing them on the stage (bandoneon on the left, organ to the right, and drums in the center). With this placement, a decent distance was also created between the center and the sides, giving it a soundstage with proper width. However, the depth of it is rather short because the drum cymbals were heard at the same level as the bandoneon, which should be the main star of the show. Kiwi Ears is another brand that has gone under the radar for many Chi-Fi enthusiasts. They released their flagship IEM last year, namely Kiwi Ears Orchestra, a full BA set consisting of 8 BAs. If you are interested in the Orchestra, feel free to go here to look for more info, we’re here for Cadenza today after all. Cadenza is Kiwi Ear’s first budget IEM, a single dynamic driver with Beryllium plated. The build quality is quite solid, it is made out of medical grade resin with beautiful faceplate, very lightweight and doesn’t feel hefty at all on your ears. I have no issues listening with them for several hours straight, there are no rough edges that will cause discomfort. Offering deeper bass and a slightly wider stage than the Go Bar, it was easier to make out the trailing echoes of notes on the SR25. Nuances in the throats of vocalists and the sound of their breathing were also more apparent on the SR25, despite the Go Bar somehow maintaining the impression of greater resolution perhaps due to increased treble emphasis. The Cadenzas and the SR25 were an extremely satisfying pairing.

Silver Or SPC seems to enhance the highs. The Golden element seems to make the sound a bit warmer. Palladium, Rhodium and Frozen Litz - Ummm this BS smells a lot like Psychoacoustics kind of funny. Frequency response of the 7Hz Salnotes Zero. Measurement taken with an IEC-711 clone microphone. Comparisons can only be made relative to other measurements taken by this specific microphone. A peak at about 8 – 10 kHz is likely an artifact of the measurement rig and may not exist as depicted here. Measurements above 8 kHz are not accurate. If possible, reference multiple measurements.As for technicalities, T2 DLC has a bit wider soundstage with more crisp and detailed resolution. Imaging, Separation and Layering of both sets performs similarly.

This applies for most countries. However, large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs (e.g. HarmonicDyne G200, MUSICIAN MDP-2, and etc.) are excluded. Comparing these two models directly, I would put comfort first, when it comes to insulation, the cadenza is the undisputed leader, but taking into account the fit, the T2 EVO is a safer choice thanks to its unique design. The Cadenza is darker and a bit less resolving. Tin HIFI in the T2EVO model, focusing primarily on a brighter presentation and a stronger accent, shows a bit more details, but the cadenza has a much smoother and creamier presentation. Midrange: Mids are full bodied are rich, there are no harsh edges here just simple organic and with just the right, well everything. No they are not the most emphasized or detailed or technically best but what they are is well tuned, well placed and very pleasant and natural sounding. A unique offering from the Orchestras is its custom mid-frequency drivers that aim to give a natural timbre in the midrange region. The Orchestra also features a 3-way comprehensive passive crossover system, which ensures the smooth transition across various frequencies. I did not find any driver flex on my set. However, this partially depends on ear anatomy and the type of tips used. Internals

The midrange is slightly recessed. The aforementioned mid-bass bleed warms the lower mids a lot, impinging on transparency. I'm not a fan of lavish unboxing experiences knowing my money is being spend on accessories I'll never use and a heavy box that will cost a fortune to ship. So I heartily approve of Kiwi Ears' approach, funnelling the lion's share of manufacturing costs into what actually matters - the IEMs.

Cadenza (B- ); Tonality-wise well balanced, driver spec is just the average or slightly above average DD Nothing to shout out about the treble as it is neither energetic nor dark, cymbal and hi hats are not prominent due to the smooth nature of the treble, but they are not overly recessed as wellThe Salnotes Zero are a neutral bright pair of IEMs. They sound more sterile and analytical, with a thinner note weight. The Zero are harsher and more sibilant, resulting in a more fatiguing experience. The Kiwi Ears Quartet was designed around our new sobaric double dynamic driver subwoofer. The innovative driver design utilizes two 10mm titanium diaphragms drivers, each independently driven by dual magnetic circuits. The housings are very solid, fashioned from medical-grade resin. This kind of impeccable build is rarely seen at this budget price point. The face plates feature a mother of pearl swirling design, and are quite a looker!
