Kiwi Ears Canta Review - 1DD 2PLANAR HYBRID IEM
I want to thank you for taking the time to review these new Sivga headphones. Just yesterday I ordered a pair of their earphones (the Que). Reverend Dr. Thomas, The Vegan Vicar.
I think solis is a typo of solid.
Is Simgot ew300 hbb much better?
It is better tuned.
dont understand why fiio are charging £79.99 for black version and silver is £30?
No idea. Maybe a pricing error?
nice video. just a question for gaming this or the zero blue? I can't use the impedence adapter of the red because of the need of a mic.
Thank you. I have never tried the Zero Blue.
I've read a few comments and I have to strongly disagree. These are some headphones that aren't targeted to play everything. HBB talks about it very often, presenting what music he bases his opinion. I can agree that the vocals are different, but for the music I wanted to listen to => dubstep, gaming dubstep, riddim dubstep, brostep experimental bass etc (there usualy is no vocals) for $30 nothing will surprise me more in next years. I respect everyone's opinion, I'm just presenting my own point of view. It's really worth trying these IEMs and getting out of Your comfort zone by listening to some really fuc*** up genres of music 😂😅. All the best!
Look at my comment yesterday , I love those iems, I think with a good price is a good rec for fans of that type of tuning and well, I dig those kind of tuning, is not a macro and microdetails beast but delivers in this aspect, the bass is nice, not so fast but well defined and the mids and highs are fine, not tamed, enough clarity. I think the point of the review is fine, I know the tuning is different, but i don't care, is a good set.
Glad you like it 👍
I'm buying one as a first planar IEM. Already using the Cadenza as a DD IEM.
Hope you like it!
Appreciate the review! Imho HBB is a huckster who’s spent as much time cultivating a following as he has convincing them to “support” him one subpar collab after another.
Cheers for watching!
This is The kind of ps4 controller i need
Mine still works fine.
Wtf is this graph? HBB lost all respect from me for about a year now if not more. What was he thinking with these and hades?
This is not my cup of tea for tuning.
Thanks for the great review. How it compares to Cadenza or Dawn ms?
Thank you and I prefer the tuning of the single DD models.
Always surprising how much tech is now in "CHEAP" IEMS!
Indeed but tuning matters more.
Now, does the performance of a driver directly in front of the nozzle differ from the performance of a driver far away who has a tube connecting him to the nozzle?
I presume the driver at the back is more subdued?
So glad I stopped after the QKZ HBB lol... seems like near every other collab of his in the 2 years following have been pretty bad. QKZ's still my mains but got simgot ew200's on the way so who knows if that'll last.
Hope you like the EW200 and I prefer the earlier 2DD collabs like the Khan and QKZ HBB single DD model.
compare against the original 7Hz I am listening to now.
Which original one?
I see what you are saying but I have a different take: Elua is a good IEM for someone who has multiple sets. This one fills a niche. Great for Techno with great powerful bass and outstanding technicalities, especially for this price.
It has a place for that if you have many iems.
Mine arrived last thursday, and I love it, scales well with better power sources but is mostly easy to drive with a simple dongle Dac, the included eartips are enough for me, but cable rolled to a cheap qkz t1. Thanks for the review!!! I know it is a different tuning but I'm digging it, I think for the right price is a good rec.
Glad to hear you like it.
Thanks for showing that graph, looks like a budget offering from 2018. "Someone may like it" is the most polite condemnation I have seen in a review recently.
Thanks for watching and someone might like indeed but it's not for me.
Another 💩 collab from HBB.Amazing tuning.🤮
I'm returning them
Where did you order them from?

How many dual dd colabs has hbb put out now😅
this looks like number 5 if I'm not missing any
@@giannisapostolopoulos9217and all are rubbish like this one
A few and 5 sounds about right.
It's safe to say he's now competition with KZ, and KZ is a manufacturer.😂
@@Helmond2017 lol
Banger review, banger budget set if you're a fan of that type of tuning
Indeed.
a no vocal type of tuning?
@@sssVeee It is more pushed back.
Hbb still hasn't reviewed this... That's crazy... I'm guessing he's not a fan of his own collab
I have no idea as I have not checked his channel for this IEM.
Yeah I saw that lol not even an unboxing I think. But in general he just want to experiment how far he can get away with tunings lol. The guy isn't afraid to shit on his own collab if needed be.
Ordered a pair yesterday! Can't wait for them to arrive!
Nice one 👍
To much subbass and no high bass
High bass and mid bass is still fine.
@VortexReviews1 the graph dont say this
Planars handle more bass better than a dd, so I wouldn't say it's too much.
@@denisbasshead7787 Graphs don't always tell the full story and indeed they EQ well.
Buy them now before KZ goes and fucks them up, lol
lol
Would you prefer this than Epz tp35?
This has a little more power than the TP35 but I like both to be honest.
anc? amazon says it has active noise cancellation??
That's a typo.
Hi vortex good day.... I would like to request, pls make a review of picun f8 pro, thanks in advanced.
HI and good day to you. I have not heard of that so I will look into it.
@VortexReviews1 thank you vortex, i just got a recommendation from a friend but i dont have any idea about the sound quality, its cheap and he said its the best sounding headphones he ever heard
@@NoOne-eh8ft Looks like a Apple clone so I am not sure about that one.
I heard saga and castor pro is better than this
I have not tried either of those.
I mean if you are looking for bass, yeah
Perfect IEM perfect tuning zero issues
Glad you like it.
Graph looks decent but QC control of the chinese iems is just too annoying also KZ uses paper filter mesh which even with a drop of water gets muted forever I have 7hz Salnotes Zero Mecha 3 units and Sennheiser CX180 they have absolutely perfect channel matching im glad i bought them i kept zero 2 waner edx pro x t3+ m40x etc Worst ones were EW200 and KZ ZVX dull sound and so much quality control issues
I have never tried that Sennheiser CX180 and what is the Mecha 3?
@VortexReviews1 7hz Salnotes Zero Mecha Red edition i have 3 units of them 7hz Zero Mecha sounds much better improved bass and treble it sounds perfect over the OG 7hz zero which had flat bass and lots of treble
@@Smzxe Never tried the Mecha one but I do have the Zero 2
I have never seen paper filter on KZ and I have many. Usually it's metal. ZVX is brilliant. It's a fantastic IEM. You do know you have to burn them in, right?
@wahid-lg1kk it's cloth filter or paper filter mesh gets dirty and catches moisture Why they don't use metal filter mesh ZVX is the worst KZ iem so muted dull sound edx ultra was million times better
Hi, Would would recommend this Planar IEM for rock/ metal music as well?
It should be okay for that.
@VortexReviews1 Thank you!
@@speed7radical Not a problem
it has no microphone sir ?
It does not have a microphone.
@@VortexReviews1 Thankyo
@@zentet6583 Happy to help.
they are a scam. literally no difference from the pro x and the tuning switches don't do anything
ZS10 Pro X and ZS10 Pro 2 are different.
I'm real interested in these, and I'm overall happy that KZ seems to get better after the whole stuff they went through. Better tuning and what looks like overall better construction.
I hope they don't change the tuning.
@@VortexReviews1I am ordering one this week just to avoid that problem, hope they don't change it in the next few days hahaha! I just ordered ZVX Pro..
Is it power hungry like the og pr2?
I never tried that one but it it is power hungry.
@VortexReviews1 mhm, Thanks. Seems like a good IEM to test the balanced output of my Snowy Night haha
@@Helmond2017 Nice one 👍
What does KZ PRX(L) means compared to (R)?
On the graph? It is the left or right unit.
This or Truthear Zero Red? I have Audiocular D08 as a DAC.
Never tried the Zero Red.
@VortexReviews1 what about simgot ew200, kefine klean, Oriveti od100? Compared to this?
@@ronak-31 I have never tried the OD100 but Planars sound different to those single DD models you shared.
@@VortexReviews1 Sound quality wise which sounds the best? Mostly into techno, hip hop, indie pop, acoustic.
@@ronak-31 PRX and Klean are good picks.
I come from BLON 03. I really loved them... The tuning for its Soundstage and non pricky treble I'm now eyeing on kiwi CADENZA ... I'm just confused at this point. There's also kefine KLEAN but way expensive
Cadenza are a decent set but if you like the Blon then stick with it.
Nice graph but KZ might do some BS and mess with the tuning.
Possibly but I can't predict the future.
Sgor luna is probably better in this range
I have never tried that.
@VortexReviews1 u should review it
I tried pairing my PRX with a generic dongle(like the most generic of generic dongles), but used the "Sound" Beautifier app(available at the GooglePlay Store) by Swiss Selections to give my mobile sound source a bit of a boost. Seems to work well. Of course, it's not as good as a desktop DAC-AMP, but it's good enough to make the PRX enjoyable on a mobile phone sound-source and without having to use an expensive dongle DAC-AMP. ...and i also tried those generic triple-flange silicon tips on these, and from what i've heard so far, those generic tips are doing way better than the branded ones that i also have(namely, Tanzu Sancai, Radius DeepMount, Dunu Spinfits CP100+, Dunu S&S, BGVP W01, Acoustune AET06 and AET08, KBEAR). And i mean way better! All these tips i mentioned seem to produce some sibilance, some more than others, that i don't get with those generic triple-flange tips. But don't just take my word for it, try it out yourself. At this point, i'm really starting to think that a bit of "snake-oil marketing" is also going on with a lot of these so-called "branded" eartips. By the way, if you're not sure with the size, start with the smallest size first and work your way up. These do come in 3 sizes: "small", "medium", and "large"; and these are dirt-cheap as well, so just go for all three sizes to see what size will work you.
i hope KZ will never repeat again removing the mesh over the planar driver as happened in PR2.
Me to as all it does is destroy trust in a company.
KZ always do this stuff
@@sagars861 Indeed. I try not to review much from them any more unless it's something a bit more interesting.
Vortex back with another banger! 🔥
Cheers pal! Glad you like the Klean as well 👌
I was not expecting this, great review as always. Definitely putting this set on my shortlist.
Cheers and good to see a decent product for once at a good price.
KZ probably hired new people to take care of the tuning department, or changed their approach. Great review, Vortex!
Thanks very much and I hope so 👍
How did they change the tuning really? They seem to have as bad treble as pr3
@@matusjurcik6974 PR3 seems more wild than this one.
They do have a new tuning guy
If only they did the same for qc stuff.
How does this compare to the Sgor Luna?
Not tried that one yet so I don't know.
@@VortexReviews1They are supposed to be nearly identical according to Akros
@@wahid-lg1kk Who actually makes the Sgor Luna?
@@VortexReviews1 sgor makes them (haha), I don't know what factory actually assembles it, but the driver is from the same factory that makes the s08 driver, apparently it's a cut corner s08 driver, that's my best info to date,also, it's the tuning, not the driver, that is identical to prx, according to Akros
