Kinera is very popular for their variety of designs. From other audio brands, their designs are mostly interesting and exceptional, this time the design of kinera pandamon is no exception. The design of the upper faceplate is very attractive; it looks like an angry panda is watching . And the build quality is very good for the price. The inner site has a very nice smooth finish and the top face plate is metal so it feels durable. And Kinera presents the small details of their products very well so things look and feel very premium.

I like the stock cable. The material and durability of the stock cable is very good and at this price I am very happy with the build construction of the cable. The cable does not get tangled easily and is very easy to manage. It has 2pin Oxygen Free Copper Cable.
Ear tips- It sounds bad with the stock tip. So you can use some aftermarket tips like Spinfit CP100+, CP145, W1 and Final E Black Tips which are used during my listening.

Due to the smooth finish of the inner side, it did not create any pressure on the ear which made it very comfortable. And it's very light weight. Although I didn't have a good experience with stock tips during my usage time, that's why I'm used Spinfit W1 tips with it and I've got the most comfortable listening time and long time usage without any pain in the ears. In my opinion, people with small, medium and large size ears should not face any problem in using it.

•Quick note
The stock eartips produce a very warm sound which makes it muddy so I have tried different ear tips with this one and the best performance I got from spinfit W1 tips. For my review I have only talked about the sound I got from using these w1 ear tips.

Bass
•Mid bass- pandamon has been able to provide very good mid bass for the price. Drums sounds of rock, metal songs gave punchy and impactful sound. And because of the planner driver, the speed and resolution of the bass is very good. For the price it has been able to give tight and punchy bass response. It can be given 4.5/5 in mid bass without doubt.

•Sub bass- Its mid bass response was very good but its sub bass response was very lagging. The rumble didn't feel impactful and it sounded pulsating + not so engaging on trucks with more sub bass. Its sub bass sounded a bit hollow but using the Spinfit W1 tips with it fixed a bit. This is not so noticeable when listening with the 4.4 balance output with good DACs. For those who are listening to rock, metal, instrumental, theater, or band music, this won't create much of an effect. It can be given 3/5 on sub bass

Mids​
: Pandamons mid response fuller and forward. The male vocals are a bit heavy so it's nice to hear. The vocal section is clear due to its bass and mids being well separated. Female voice extension doesn't sound so good due to warm signature. Female vocals are not so lively and energetic but using a good DAC (Questyle M15, Qulose mc01, moondrop dawn) with a 4.4 balance cable solves this problem a lot. So I have nothing to complain about it but for those who don't have neutral DAC They may have problems. Overall mids (4/5)

•Treble: Pandamons treble extension is not so good. Metal songs miss the details due to lower treble extension. Although the separation of the string instruments are good, the sound of the instruments is a little warm due to which the sound of the string instruments seems less energetic and unnatural. Usually planner drivers have good treble extension but pandamon's treble extension is very lagging behind. And I didn't get the metallic timbre like the previous planers, which is good. Those who don't like extra treble extension and are treble sensitive will love it. Treble 2/5

•Soundstage: I thought the sound stage would be much bigger due to the open bag design but it wasn't. Even with the open back I got a soundstage similar to the closed back iems. It's not that the soundstage isn't wide, well it's wide but the open back design needed to be a bit bigger but the soundstage provides now isn't bad for the price. Soundstage 3.5/5

•Note separation & Imagine: One of the more interesting things about this pandamon is the notes seperation. SPD 2.0 has been able to provide much better separation than their previous SPD 1.0 and it can be said that this is a more refined and capable driver. The notes of instrumental music are heard very well. And they can play the sounds of guitar, piano, drum separately very well. Note separation 4.5/5

imagine is good. It is easy to understand where the instrument is coming from in the song. Playing God by Polyphia has been able to present the positions of the instruments of this track very accurately. And because of the good technical performance of the spd2.0 driver, it can give an idea of the positions of the instruments very nicely. Overall technical performance of pandamon is very good for the price. Note separation & imagine 4.5/5

•Conclusion: Loved Pandamon's design and build quality + good sound for the price. If the treble section could be improved a bit this would be a perfect iem at this price and hopefully kinera will fix this in their upcoming SPD 3.0. This is a good option in the current market and those who like this type of sound will enjoy it very much. (So in my opinion this is a very good deal at 56 USD)
