[BASS]

For a BA iem, kiwiears orchesta lite bass is very impressive .
It extends quite low and has a lot of texture for a woofer without vents.
For a BA iem, speed and tightness are about average.
while the quantity won't please bassheads,the quality is quite impressive.

[MIDS]

The midrange of Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite has excellent resolution and detail, is relatively smooth in texture, and does not have any of the issues that the bass does.
They sound good most of the time and sometimes shout . To minimize slight or no shoutiness at high volumes using ZEOS render foam eartips helps a lot .
Vocals from both male and female singers are well-reproduced and equally enjoyable.

[TREBLE]

Treble is pleasant but not spectacular.
The bass tuning is a little too safe making it less exciting & engaging.
Riffs on the guitar lack vitality, and the cymbals and hi-hats sound overly muddy.
Resonances & decays are lost because the upper treble is also almost absent.

Technicalities:

soundstage average . if i use x-space on ifi zen can it widens that help me to have a holographic effect .
Imaging above average . Voices and instruments are clearly positioned, In fps game CSGO i can hear every footstep where they coming from with good height width .
instrument separation, which is one of the best I’ve heard around this price point.
Punch in the macrodynamics is severely lacking.
The abrupt bass drops are hollow. Microdynamics are not so obvious all things considered.


Rating:

Bass: 3.7/5
Mids: 4.7/5
Treble: 4.0/5
Imaging/Separation: 4.6/5
Staging: 3.8/5
Dynamics/Speed: 4.0/5

Good genres: Classical, OST, Vocal centric music .
Bad genres: Hip-hop , EDM , Bass heavy music .

Conclusion :


Final Thoughts The Orchestra Lite from Kiwi Ears was a complete surprise.
This IEM is an incredible value proposition due to its pleasant, slightly warm tonality, relaxed character, solid technical performance, and excellent build quality .
The Orchestra Lite is probably my favorite IEM in its price range & I highly recommend it.

New Head-Fier
I completely agree with your review. I have one, and besides genres that ask for heavy bass, this IEM is a pleasure to listen to all day. Classical music, in particular, sounds especially natural and balanced. Nothing to criticize about this set.
