It also behooves the reader to perhaps follow other Headfiers or reviewers who you know shares your same sound preferences and who perhaps hears something similar to you?
Totally agree with that, mate.

I know you and me don't have same sound profile, but I respect your opinion (also the @ToneDeafMonk ones) just pointed wich different could be the perception between users. I like the FREYA midbass presentation, maybe its too hot on the treble (I feel more weird than intense) but its a iem from 3-4 years ago. KINERA changes a lot since then.

Anyways this thread is one of the best on internet (and the most visited one on headfi) so thats why we should take care of it.

It was exactly the same for me with Nanna. I solved it with foam tips, which I had never used until now.
I never felt good about them; more like a hassle. But it seems the reason was that I didn't choose the right size.

With foam tips, isolation is 100%, and bass is maxed.
@Leonarfd like a pointed on my review, the fit of the Verdandi is the worst part of the iem. The tip selection that you could use with the earphone is short.

Ive got big ears, ans I really struggle to find one. I finally get a open bore ones, and try to get the deepest insertion I can.

Kinera Relentless

429821102_391839256932656_3203487306184856726_n.jpg


In the ancient Chinese "Classic of the Mountains and Seas" tome, there is a story about a lady morphing into a bird, with an unwavering spirit to protect the sea. Seems Kinera is naming their IEM after this "relentless" spirit.

and what does that tag line mean? "To perpetuate the myth of music" ?
“myth”, “placebo”, “snakeoil”,

po-tae-to - po-tah-to 😂

Just kidding. Kinera/Celest is cool. Maybe looking at the graph before buying, but they are generally cool. At least visually attractive.

I found the PHOENIXCALL really good for the asking price.
The bass is visceral, laking of any control.

Not fan of the style

Celest “relentlessly” releasing IEMs 😂
Jeezuz, Kinera is really trying to be the KZ, of the upper pricing tiers; I doubt that they have any sense, on how they’re diluting their own branding, with these almost bi-weekly releases.

Those graphs look really nice. Reminds me of P8 maybe?
Very similar to Moondrop Blessing 2:

Tanchjim Kara with more bass:
https://cqtek.squig.link/?share=Tanchjim_Kara,LetShuoer_Cadenza_4

Slightly more relaxed in treble extension than the KiiBOOM Evoke:

Striking similarity to 7Hz Sonus:
