What’s the configuration on these?
Looks like 4-6 chonky Sonions. I named the set “new” in graph cuz I have no info and it is not listed yet.
Interesting tuning and looks gorgeous.

Should be “Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite” btw, releasing soon.
Awesome name, fitting such a beautiful set

No idea what they’re going to be selling these at either, huh?
After struggling to find tips that make Kiwi Ears Cadenza comfortable for me, I don’t mind more options with the same tuning as long as the shells are different. QKZ x HBB Khan fits like glued into my ears but the short stems of Cadenza are a pain.
That said, I just wish someone would just release a budget set with that tuning but with like 5dB more sub bass.
That 8k peak looks nasty 
But no, I’m thinking more of a sub bass peak instead of the whole bass region being boosted(this looks like it has more mid bass than QKZ x HBB). Think Cadenza up to ~200Hz and then boosted. Might be too hard to do with 1DD though. 2DD setup like the Khan without the tuck and maybe a bit more bass?
Basically, bring slightly tamed Fat Freq Maestro SE to the masses 
You aren’t getting that any time soon, friend. And the 8k isn’t as nasty as it looks because it’s cutting through so much bass

Yeah, because the manufacturers are too busy churning out variations of the same FR.
I don’t even need it to be super budget but there has been barely anything interesting sub $200 since the big planar wave a while ago, which is why I ended up getting a bunch of cheap sets instead.

I stand corrected
I got told about your shout out. That was fucking cool!
I don’t mind saying the quiet part out loud, clearly, but it’s weird to think people are listening

A couple less conventional tunings I know of that worked out really well:
Penon Volt
BGVP DM8
MiM Dark Magician
Lotoo LE-M1
To some extent the Meaoes Eagles, still something interesting I haven’t stopped revisiting quite yet.
Heck even diffuse field like ER2XR, far less common than Harman.
thats one think I do respect about Penon, they have a house sound that is very different from the cookie cutter harman tuning. I don’t think there is a single Penon IEM that would fall into that tuning black hole

ISN is a Penon sub-brand, so it’s still Penon doing it

I quite enjoyed the Eagles, I must say. Out of all of the sets you loaned out to Brandon and I, I’d say that one was the most interesting to me. Just in terms of timbre and techs.

And if you’re ever struggling to type its nearly-all-vowel name, just think of “Meat and potatoes” and cut out the middle.
