Volcanic Eruption

Loki, the god of fire, has extraordinary strength due to his noble birth, and his mischievous character makes him a challenger to order, indirectly leading to the creation of “Ragnarok.”

Kinera’s designer uses fiery red lava to symbolize Loki, possessing the power of fire. The blue color symbolizes the surface of the earth. When Loki engages in mischief, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, the earth’s crust cracks, and the hot magma flows and churns along the surface, shocking the energy of Asgard and heralding the arrival of a new era of world renewal.

Tuning Philosophy

A flagship quadbrid driver In-Ear Monitors with outstanding detail performance that combines the characteristics of multiple acoustic drivers. It has good elasticity and clear, deep bass. The mid-range (vocals) has a strong sense of density and distinct layers and the high-end is transparent, delicate, and well-extended, with delicate and rich overtones thanks to the electrostatic unit. The ultra-wide frequency response brings an expansive, transparent soundstage space.

1DD for Bass and Sub-bass: One 6mm dynamic driver is responsible for the low-frequency range. Kinera’s custom-made 6mm liquid diaphragm dynamic driver has excellent acoustic performance. Combined with a reasonable acoustic structure design, it can deliver a very relaxed, natural low-frequency performance that is full and elastic.

4 Knowles Mid Range BA + 2 Knowles Treble BA: Six Knowles balanced armatures include four mid-range and two high-frequency drivers. Custom-tuned by Kinera, these Knowles balanced armatures are responsible for Loki’s mid-range, with two additional Knowles balanced armatures connecting the mid and high frequencies via clever electronic and physical crossovers. Through fine tuning, they can handle both the natural low-frequency performance of the dynamic driver and the high-frequency advantage unique to electrostatic drivers, achieving a seamless integration of high, mid and low frequencies.

4 Sonion EST Drives for Ultra High Frequency and Airiness: Four electrostatic drivers are responsible for the ultra-high frequencies. One Sonion electrostatic driver works with four others to deliver Loki’s ultra-high frequency range, utilizing the wider frequency range, better transient response, stronger detail performance, and brighter yet still smooth sound characteristics of electrostatic drivers to interpret Loki’s sound. This results in extremely low distortion and a more realistic sound, bringing a bright and warm auditory experience.

1 Bone Conduction Driver: One bone conduction driver uses a contact-type bone conduction unit. Kinera’s custom-made contact-type bone conduction unit works in tandem with the low-frequency dynamic driver, providing a deeper, ultra-low-frequency performance with a unique bass presentation, forming an almost bottomless dive.

Kiwi Ears Quartet Implements a New Sobaric Double Dynamic Driver that Delivers All the Quality Bass One Could Need

• Hybrid Driver Configuration: (2x) DD + (2x) BA
• Double 10mm Titanium Diaphragm Drivers
• Boasts harmonious balance between accurate tonality and resounding bass
• Perfect for drummers, bass guitarists, and music enthusiasts
• Includes high-quality Silver-Plated Copper cable
• Check out our measurement of Quartet

Resounding Bass

The Kiwi Ears Quartet was designed around their new sobaric double dynamic driver subwoofer. The innovative driver design utilizes two 10mm titanium diaphragms drivers, each independently driven by dual magnetic circuits. The pair of drivers were passively aligned to be phase synced and prevent sound wave cancellation.

This new subwoofer design emits extremely well extended sub-bass kicks that are tighter, faster, and deeper than any other previous woofer designs. The Quartet is Kiwi Ear’s answer for all those who want a fun in-ear monitor that will provide all the quality bass one could need.

Harmonious Balance

Although the Quartet is a bass-centric IEM, Kiwi Ears' still aimed to provide a natural tonal balance. This goal was centered around the need to provide a textured and powerful bass, but without any muddying or dulling in the mids or treble. The dynamic drivers were crossed over using a passive low-pass network at 350Hz to allow plenty of rich and thick bass, while the mids from 350-1kHz were tuned to be completely flat.

This allows an accurate tonality in the mids like that of neutral studio monitors, while giving a hint of warmth in the lower mids. This means the Quartet will sound thunderous in the bass, but still clean and flat in the mids, preventing unwanted bloating found in most earphones.

Custom Balanced Armature Drivers

The Quartet features a custom mid-high frequency balanced armature and a custom ultra-high tweeter balanced armature drivers. These drivers were modified to fit the balance of the new dynamic drivers by a tuned venting system to provide more airflow.

Following Kiwi Ears’ tradition, the balanced armatures are passively tuned to fit their in-house target curvature for the mids and trebles. This means the mid-treble provides crisp and clean tone to vocals and instruments, without sounding either dull or nasally.

The highs are detailed with plenty of sparkle for professional performance usage, but are natural and free of shrillness or fatigue.

Recommended Usages

The Quartet can be thought of as neutral studio monitors, but with sub-bass and bass emphasis beginning at 350Hz. This provides a little bit more of body, texture, and richness in the lower mids, but neutral mids and upper mids.

This IEM is perfect for performance drummers and bass guitarists who require powerful and impactful lows. Music enthusiasts who want quality bass but a natural tonality will also benefit from the Quartet’s tuning balance.

With a Total of 5 Drivers Per Side, Kiwi Ears Quintet Delivers Extremely High-Resolution Audio, Comparable to Professional Studio Monitors

• Hybrid Configuration: (1x) DD + (2x) BA + (1x) Planar + (1x) PZT
• Combination of 5 driver types produces a high resolution experience
• Introduces new Micro Planar Transducers for ultra-detailed treble
• Offers a balanced tonal signature, combining the best qualities of each driver type
  
• Check out our measurement of Quintet

4 Driver Types, 5 Drivers Per Side

The Kiwi Ears Quintet is equipped with five drivers per side, combining 1 Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) dynamic driver, 2 balanced armature (BA) drivers, 1 planar magnetic driver, and 1 piezoelectric (PZT) bone conductor.

With a total of 5 drivers per each ear, the Quintet delivers extremely high-resolution audio comparable to professional studio monitors. A large 10mm DLC driver was selected as the sub-woofer due to DLC’s high responsiveness and tensile strength, which pumps out impactful bass slams, but with fast decay speeds. 2 Knowles balanced armature drivers deliver natural and resolving mids, a classic example of why balanced armatures are beloved in the industry.

Planar Tweeter Technology

The Quintet’s driver configuration includes the innovative Micro Planar Transducers (MPT), which are a new advancement in the IEM industry.

These new tweeters feature the classic planar magnetic driver circuitry but with a smaller footprint for use in hybrid designs. With an extremely low noise floor and high output capacity, these planar magnetic drivers deliver crisp and detailed treble that is unique from typical BA or EST (electrostatic) tweeters used in most IEM’s today.

Finally, a piezoelectric driver was utilized to deliver ultra-treble microdetail and air. In R&D testing, the presence of the PZT driver significantly enhanced perceived audio resolution, texture, and sound stage, making it a no-brainer to be an addition in the Quintet.

Micro Planar Transducers Drivers

Achieving a high quality ultra-treble has been a challenge in the IEM industry. BA drivers are compact, but offer low ultra-treble extension, and are also limited by their output and timbre quality.

The MPT drivers in the Quintet maintain consistent sound pressure from 4kHz to 14kHz and extend treble up to 40kHz. This provides greater flexibility in tuning and delivers a higher sense of resolution, creating an airy, spacious soundstage.

Balanced and Natural Sound

The IEM provides strong sub-bass with a 9dB shelf, transitioning smoothly into flat mids at 300Hz, and a well-tuned treble peak at 3kHz.

The result is a completely balanced tone that accurately reflects the best qualities of each driver. The sub-bass hits strong and fast, with a 9dB shelf that transitions into a flat mids at 300Hz.

This mids-bass transition ensures that there is a slight warmth in the lower mids for bass guitar notes to be in the mix, but still retain a studio-monitor-like neutrality to the upper mids.

Hi-Fi Audio Performance

The combination of 5 drivers per ear, including the innovative MPT and PZT drivers, enables the Quintet to produce an ultra-high resolution audio experience.

With enhanced sound texture, improved audio resolution, and a wide soundstage, the Quintet sets a new standard in IEM performance.

SubWITCH™ Switchable subwoofer Technology

Sub-lows Witchery. Imagine wielding the power to shape sound frequencies with the finesse of a skilled witch conjuring spells. With a single flick of a finger, the level of the lowest frequencies can be altered by approximately 4dB below 500Hz. But it’s not just about control – it’s about tailoring your sound to various scenarios. Whether you’re listening at different volume levels, leveraging the principles of the Fletcher-Munson Law to enhance bass audibility at lower levels, optimizing the richness of well-recorded bass in your audio source, or mitigating overwhelming and boomy lows caused by poorly mixed material, SubWITCH™ provides the solution.

Moreover, in noisy environments such as airplanes or subways where low-end noise may obscure vital low-frequency elements, this switch lets you elevate the bass response. As you explore the realms of sound, let SubWITCH™ be your guide – an enigmatic companion that empowers you to orchestrate the perfect bass notes for every moment. 

BAM™ Energy Optimizer 

Backfiring Acoustically-damped Membrane. Through innovative thinking and extensive experimentation, Lime Ears has uncovered a method to achieve superior bass control by harnessing the energy emanating from the rear of the transducer’s membrane. Building on this, they've further refined their approach by incorporating open-cell memory foam. This unique addition acts as an effective damper for the driver, effectively reducing acoustic resonances within the enclosure. The result is a remarkable enhancement in stereo separation, pushing the boundaries of the soundstage to new depths and widths. 

Inspirational Origins. This time, LE took inspiration from the bass reflex enclosures commonly found in studio monitors, to boost and enhance the bass quality by making use of energy reflection. Upon closer examination, they realized that such a mechanism was possible to be scaled down and be fitted inside our IEM, giving them greater control over the bass. After multiple iterations to mimic the speaker enclosure, they came up with a design that not only incorporated the essence of a bass reflex speaker, but also allows them to unlock and control the full potential of bass together with their SubWITCH™ technology. 

VariBore™ Acoustic Design

Variable Bore. Through their exploration, Lime Ears discovered a pivotal role played by the bore diameter in managing various frequencies. By meticulously shaping bores with varying diameters, they are able to optimize the transmission of different frequencies with increased precision. This effect is particularly pronounced in higher frequencies, where the expanded diameter significantly mitigates air friction and minimizes resonant influences. The outcome is a distinct enhancement in the upper-frequency range, resulting in improved high-end extension and a notably smoother, more authentic rendition of highs.

Scarlet Silverstream Shell 2023

Scarlet Silverstream. As with the concept of Pneuma, Lime Ears' new acrylic shell is aesthetically designed to capture the feeling of warm air currents. It features a flawless blend of fiery red and soothing silver tones, where the silver sparkles mirror the liveliness of moving air while the rich red hues express the comforting embrace of warmth.

Incredible Performance Meets Exclusivity with MASS-Kobo Model 465, a Headphone Amplifier That Holds Legendary Status Among Audiophiles

• Each unit is handmade with individual components selected and personally tested by one man, Mr. Masuda
• Features dual mono architecture, separating the left and right power supplies
• Exceedingly clean, detailed, linear sound
• Vintage aesthetic, inspired by the golden era of 70s Hi-Fi

Build and Design

On the surface, the MASS-Kobo looks like any number of high-end components, with a vintage aesthetic rooted in 70s HiFi. Each button on the front panel has a bright green glow to indicate which gain, input, and output options you have selected. The inputs and outputs have to be independently selected, so you can’t, for example, listen to both the 4-pin XLR and 6.3mm outputs at the same time.

465 outputs a maximum of 4.5W into 32ohms, with an RMS of 3.8W. The design uses a high impedance output which provides stronger performance with lower sensitivity headphones than you would expect given the raw wattage number. Where some amps produce power in excess of 20W per channel for the purpose of driving headphones like Susvara, MASS-Kobo’s high output impedance solves the same problem with less than 5W.

Part of what makes MASS-Kobo amps stand out from other products is that the component selection doesn’t just come down to selecting the brand and model of each component; Masuda tests each specific, individual component before he puts it into the amp to ensure that it’s up to spec and that all components in the amp are perfectly matched. It’s this sort of attention to detail in the small things that makes the handmade 465 so sought after.

Sound

MASS-Kobo 465 delivers an exceedingly clean, detailed, linear sound without even a hint of color with most headphones. The linear, low noise floor, and low harmonic distortion are the hallmarks of MASS-Kobo’s design. Above all else, 465 gives you transparency with power.

Sustainably Harvested Wood

The black walnut wood chosen and used for Meze headphones comes strictly from sources with a certificate of origin, harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This is a great way to protect the environment while leaving room for new life, and an opportunity for those old trees to shine once again in the shape of a Meze headphone.

Made With Longevity in Mind

The 109 PRO is crafted for sustainability. Meze Audio is sensitive to the fact that our choices today have a great impact in the world of tomorrow, thus they design products that last. It is their belief that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint. Following this philosophy, the 109 PRO can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if needed, extending the life of the product beyond expected limits.

Meze X Rinaro

Empyrean II emerges as the fruitful collaboration of two passionate companies that set out to explore uncharted territories. Meze Audio's engineering team has masterfully harnessed the power of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver to reach a new world of sound.

Sonic Mastery Reimagined

The result of years of R&D, Empyrean II lets you experience more of what you love: more clarity, more depth, more fun. The goal was to enhance the headphones’ ability to reproduce fine details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, all the while preserving the original “easy to listen to” character.

Using ingenious tuning methods, new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval were revealed, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of audio. The reliability and resistance of the membrane inside the driver was also improved, ensuring exceptional performance even in challenging acoustic environments.

Isodynamic Hybrid Array Architecture

The Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver combines individual switchback and spiral shaped voice coils in one driver, allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear.

Accurate Reproduction
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range.

Lightweight
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions.

Ergonomic Shape
Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area.

Ultra-High Resolution Audio
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000Hz.

[MZ3] Hybrid Magnet Array
Symmetrically placed on each side of the diaphragm, the neodymium magnets are specifically arranged into a Hybrid Array to create the efficient Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the surface.

Rinaro Isoplanar® Diaphragm
Weighing only 0.16g while having 4650mm2 of active area.

[MZ3] Frame
Fiberglass infused ABS.

Isoplanar® Diaphragm Material

The switchback coil is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver. The spiral coil is more efficient at reproducing middle-high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal enabling more direct sound waves to enter the ear without time delays.

Isomagnetic® Earcup to Earpad Coupling Technology

Rinaro’s Isomagnetic® coupling technology makes switching earpads a breeze. It utilizes the demagnetizing field generated by the driver to secure the earcup in place, while simultaneously redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver, thereby enhancing efficiency.

Your Sound, Your Choice

Elevate your listening experience to new heights – Empyrean II comes with two sets of earpads, allowing the ultimate sound customization. Switch between Duo and Angled earpads for an auditory journey that is entirely your own.

Duo Earpads
Specifically tailored to match Empyrean II, Duo pads are crafted from a blend of premium leather and Alcantara. With leather forming the base half and Alcantara covering the rest, they are a flawless fusion delivering a tonal balance that resonates across all music genres.

Angled Alcantara Earpads
Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara with a fine protective mesh on the grill, the angled earpads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the earpad for an airier sound signature, cleaner bass, and improved presence in the mid-range.
