I just purchased the kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene, despite understanding the failings of these headphones. I Have a number of excellent cables, and own a number of screwdrivers. I am putting an element of trust in the fact that Zβs musical preferences are extremely similar to mine. And based on that, and want of a closed back planar to listen to in public spaces I have pulled the trigger on a pair of these. Time, and a vast amount of listening will tell as to whether this was a good choice or not. I bought the Defiant on the same whim and consider them to be my best purchase of the past year, I shall report back my considerations at a later date.
Tossed my order in. I know Iβm going to have a slight issue with the tuning, but Iβve wanted a closed back planar for a long time and looking at the graph for them, I think a single band of EQ can solve the ear gain region completely.
Before this video gets lost in the shuffle. Here is how I have found to fix any Bass Rattle issues after proper break in.
If you have these issues I would report it to Linsoul or Kiwiears via social media and emplore you to do the repair and enjoy Serene. Returning the unit just means they wonβt make anymore or attempt the fix for the next batch. This is why I give proper warning in my official review and have this repair video ready to go.
Let me know how it goes for everyone, I only had 2 samples and since both needed this Treatment I had to go with that as the norm. We may find its less needed once a few hundred are out there.
