  • In today's video, I review the Kiwi Ears Quintet - a quadbrid IEM with 1x DD, 2x BA, 2x Planar, 1x PZT. This set is absolutely outstanding and a ridiculously good deal right now.

    I don't get much sibilance unless you crank the volume up too much with sibilant tracks.
    Comfort is my only issue with the Quintet. After wearing it for over an hour, they start to make my ears sore. The shell is a somewhat odd shape and doesn't conform to my ears well.
    I can't think of a better IEM for this price though. It punches way above its cost. This is a 500+ dollars IEM in my opinion.

      @@shaunbrady15 to me, the Orchestra Lite is about good in sound stage performance; the Quintet is about a sharp and crispy in detail, sometime maybe too sharp to me, but not too over. i can listen Orchestra Lite for whole day; Quintet maybe 2hours then I have take a rest, maybe 15mins. after that I will keep listening music with Quintet, that sound just kind of addictive.

      I have the Orchestra Lite and they are my reference IEMs. They have fantastic detail and are highly resolving but they have zero sibilence. It has a smooth and coherent sound without losing any clarity at all. The Quintet looks interesting but I'm not giving up my Lite. Kudos to Kiwi Ears for making consistently high quality products.

    Great review - thanks!
    How does it compare to S12 Pro, Tea2 and Kato? Audiophile aspirations aside, and considering you said this is a bright set, would you say S12 Pro is more fun with better slam/punch/PRAT for actual music listening, as a daily driver, if you don't have access to EQ (I'm using HD800 and speakers for critical listening)?
    Did you not notice any unnatural or metallic timbre in the treble that quite a few others have pointed out, including these reviewers:
    (1) Jay had an issue with the metallic timbre on cymbals and electric guitars being too harsh, too hard and brittle, particular at higher volumes. He recommends modding them with a 300 mesh filter to reduce the metallic timbre: ua-cam.com/video/Wzqs1E6E274/v-deo.html
    (2) Jordan Oki commented that the timbre is unnatural, possibly due to the piezo tweeter and/or the fact that the various driver types have different "speed": ua-cam.com/video/qkMQXLKvvng/v-deo.html
    (3) Vortex said the treble can be a bit hot, fake and fatiguing: ua-cam.com/video/P82o0qbEXXY/v-deo.html
    (4) Ian Fann said that they need to be matched with a source that is a bit warmer, otherwise it can get too dry and thin: ua-cam.com/video/ecgk3ESNcSE/v-deo.html
