KINERA has a new single dynamic driver cheap model, it has new type of driver material used according to the specs

That graph is weird.

How much does it cost?

I am presently working on a $600 earphone that is really good but I wrote to the manufacturer why they don't sell it for $200 as it does not constitute anything special in terms of build or sound (at that price). I am sure, this would happen again and again with >$500 earphones.

Good that it is a loaner and I don't owe them anything.

They are $65-75 depending on reseller.

Yeah, saw that the other day, if you pre-order from their AE store they are like $30 vs the normal price of $38 but then you pay $5 shipping which is strange as AE always has free shipping lol.

If that graph is true, then I wish to buy one... haven`t had any Kinera`s yet and for 30$, why not? Good alternative to MH755 with shell mod.

Ds and I talked about this iem years ago. Highly underrated for a dual BA. At first, it seemed to have not bass, but it came out after we both burned it in (we believe in burn-in, so no debate please?). I still own mine but haven't heard them in a while. You are going to make me dig them out of the drawer! Enjoy!
Dig them out and relisten

no idea how those sound, but the graph is full of big red flashing alerts concerning the idea of "true graph". no information about anything, is it raw or compensated, if so how? what standard? then the low end has many captured points, but the midrange has sometimes just 2between a 1000Hz range. there is no measurement method doing that. you can set to reduce the number of points as you go up to follow the log scale en not waste too much resource capturing thousands of points between 19kHz and 20kHz. or you can leave it alone and then you have few pints in the low end and many in the high freqs. never what they show. it's also clearly not the result of applied smoothing. I'm not saying they're hiding something, but why go through all this very unusual effort, if not to hide something about the FR? whatever the reason, it's a weird graph IMO.

sorry if its a vomit of pics, but was curious on this since I remembered crin measuring the Seed previously, thought I could share some info and see what you make of it.

Anyone else put off by the aethetic? I do like the look of the Kinera Seed though.
