LinsoulKiwi Ears Quintet in Ear Monitor, 1DD + 2BA + 1 Planar + 1 PZT Hybrid Driver Earphone, with Detachable Silver-Plated OFC Cable, Metal Faceplate, 3D-Printed Resin Shell for Musician (Quintet)

Best headphones I have used. Doesn’t compare to most products on the market 10/10

Bought these on a whim after reading about the tech involved in these. Very unique driver setup. This price bracket is overcrowded and there's a lot of options out there.They look clean nothing flashy and I like that. Very comfortable even for long sessions. Prefer the simple clean and sleek look. Cable is pretty good, but only comes with the 3.5mm option. I've been using these with another 4.4mm cable 99% of the time. I wasn't a fan of the stock ear tips and replaced those right away with some spinfits. Fits perfectly in my ears now. The included case feels/looks kinda cheap, but it works.These sound really good and I find myself looking for these more often on listening sessions. Good bass, pretty good separation, clear vocals, crispy treble. Music feels more dense or thicker or juicy hah I dunno how else to describe it. Def not a flat sound signature. Responds well to EQ. I've been using these a lot the past few weeks and somehow they look new no scratches.Minor complaints here: When I first tried these out it did sound a little more artificial/less natural. Sometimes kinda sharp (sometimes brass or saxophone at higher volume as an example). After using for a while tho it sounds better to me. Maybe it needed time to break in, maybe I'm just getting used to the sound or it's placebo, or maybe all of the above.I've owned 7hz Timeless, Moondrop Kato, various cheaper chifi like KZ, etc. It's a toss up between these and the 7hz for me. Just got to try out the Chopin and they sound more thin/tame off first impression, but need to use them more to make a fair comparison.Would recommend for everyday fun listening if you don't mind swapping ear tips and hopefully have a better carrying case.

In order to get a good sound from IEM, one needs to get the right ear tips to fit correctly.When I first got my Linsoul Kiwi I thought the sound was disappointing with weak bass and mids.Furthermore I find the bundled ear tips uncomfortable and not fitting my ear canal correctly. I decided to get SpinFit W1 ear tips which fit my ear canals perfectly. What a difference the SpinFit W1 makes! The sound from my Linsoul Kiwi is now much more balanced with solid bass, smooth mids and sweet sounding highs. I also found out many of my portable devices do not put out enough power this IEM; I use Shanling H5 DAC which drives the Kiwi just fine. Overall I'm very happy with the sound of Linsoul Kiwi after getting the proper eartips.

Excellent sound quality and build. I do find the buds loosening and me having to push them back into my ear canal to get the best sound - even with the smallest of the rubber tips. The top wires don't quite clear the tops of my ears but perhaps I need to bend them a bit more. Of course the buds required an adapter to connect to my iPhone 16.

the TruthEars HEXA sound just as good for a fraction of the price...

I was looking for a planar hybrid IEM set that would satisfy both the audiophile nit picker and the person who just wanted to listen to music for fun while doing things around the house. After much time spent reading and re-reading threads on Reddit I decided to pull the trigger on this set, I'm glad I did as it scratches both itches well.They have the clarity I was hoping/looking for while not sacrificing a good, balanced sound. I can be treble-sensitive and there is no piercing sibilance here. That being said, this is not a warm, deep bass-y set. The bass is definitely there, but with more of a mid bass punch. I have dedicated go to IEMs for boomy bass forward genres like hip hop/edm - this is more for jazz-rock, indie rock, soul, and general listening. Audiophile-oriented bands like Steely Dan shine with this set. There is a small amount of shoutiness with male vocals but it doesn't detract from enjoyment. They take very well to EQ-ing.I have IEMs valued at twice this set's price and I still find myself reaching for these. They are fantastic.

Excellent sound!

My previous pair of IEMs were the Truthear Hexas, which are excellent for analytical listening but with my new HiBy R6PRO2 which has arrived I thought I needed a new IEM to go with it. I needed something analytical yet beautiful, and I do believe I've found it in these Kiwi Ears Quintet IEMs. For the price, I doubt I could have found something better for the DAC. Unbelievable goodness.
