Fair. I generally see TWS as e-waste anyway and only buy them rarely. I also only use TWS when out running or walking the dog and at the gym so battery life is irrelevant to me to an extent. Eventually they will all degrade so I stay away as much as I can.

TWS is not e-waste, NC is a good bonus. Except nobody in the industry is man up to do the removable/module battery. They chose profits over longevity, like always.

I pair every IEMs with bluetooth hooks or receivers, so I sided with convenience over possibly better DAC&AMP.

KARS stands for Kiwi Acoustic Resonance System (see Linsoul) so how can this be commonly used in speakers? Are there Kiwi speakers I am not aware of but you do?

Resonators are used in speakers all the time, if you see a tall speaker with a bass port, most of the time it has a resonator of a certain dimension on the inside, either to boost the bass, cut the bass or just tune it.

Kiwi Ears did not invent it and KARS is just their commercial name for this type of mechanical frequency tuner. Where they innovated is the use in an IEM, because 3D printing makes it attainable at reasonable price points.
