Kiwi Ears KE4
Kiwi Ears KE4
Innovative 4-Driver System
Custom-Tuned Tonal Balance
Handcrafted Precision
Premium Build Quality
A Completely New IEM Design
The KE4 starts fresh from the ground up, featuring a 2 Dynamic Driver (2DD) isobaric sub-woofer system, combined with 2 Balanced Armature (2BA) full-range and tweeter speakers. The 2 Kiwi Ears custom 10mm dynamic driver focuses on sub-bass impact and slam, highlighting kick drum and bass guitar presence. A RAB 32257 BA driver, which has been customized with enhanced ventilation, ensures a seamless integration of the bass with the midrange, while providing lush and textured vocals and instruments. An American-made Knowles RAD 33518 BA tweeter delivers pristine and natural-sounding treble with excellent upper frequency extension for an airy sound.
Tonal Superiority
The KE4 carries Kiwi Ears’ commitment to excellent tonal balance. The KE4 follows our new target tuning, which emphasizes precise sub-bass impact, a warm, yet natural, midrange, and precise treble. It is a sound signature that has been refined throughout the years, and one that we believe to be the most natural and engaging. The tonal signature is suitable for every purpose, from music enjoyment and gaming, to professional on-stage monitoring and audio engineering.
Precisely Engineered
The Kiwi Ears KE4 has been engineered by hand from start to finish. Featuring a 3-way passive crossover system and 3 independent sound tubes, every miniscule detail of acoustic engineering has been undertaken to achieve its tuning. The shells are made from medical-grade resin and are adorned with hand-finished faceplates.

Costruzione eccellente e profilo audio di super qualità. Ideale per musicisti, professionisti del settore ed amanti della musica di alta qualità. Il doppio driver spinge bene i bassi senza sovrastare le altre frequenze. Ho ascoltato ogni genere musicale ed in ogni occasione ho potuto apprezzare i dettagli che con altre cuffie non avevo percepito. Per maggiori approfondimenti vi consiglio di guardare la mia recensione che trovate su YouTube.

i think New Meta from here on end because the fidelity and warmth coming from this tuning is more in line with how I like my audio. I think the KE4 is under appreciated atm, and pretty soon people will start to hear about it more.

Sin dudas es una de las mejores opciones en relación calidad precio! Estoy totalmente sorprendido y conforme con la calidad que brinda este in ear, la calidad es notoria en todo sentido. Felicitaciones por este producto
Good sound smoth detail
The overall sound delivery is warm, with a low-frequency bias.
Still, 2 DD make themselves felt, but although the bass plays a dominant role, it does not score in the middle.
The sub-bass shows its power by playing the infra-low 20 kHz.
It has decent pressure and scale.
A variety of tracks with an abundance of low frequencies sound voluminous in these headphones, with a truly subwoofer effect.
The bass dominates, but at the same time leaves room for other frequencies, without violating the integrity of the sound canvas.
The midrange frequencies feel slightly rounded and smoothed - this shows that the headphones have a bias towards musicality.
Instruments in the midrange segment have a softened sound.
Acoustic live instruments have melodiousness and friendliness, they will not cut with sharp attacks and will not pull you out of a pleasant immersion in music.
The upper frequencies are smooth, but they are not devoid of detail and intelligibility of percussion.
They are a little distant in the scene, probably influenced by the damper, which results in a non-stressed, but at the same time very pleasant sound.
The vocals have decent resolution, they are located inside the stage among the musicians, slightly moving forward to the listener.
The stage is ellipsoid, of medium size.
Headphones enchant with their sound in calm genres and awaken an emotional uplift in driving genres.
Kiwi Ears KE4 are suitable for long-term listening to music, and even at high volume they do not cause fatigue.
They play any electronic music very cool, and meaty metal sounds!
They are the best pair of IEM's Ive used and I can say they are 1000% worth it. Saving my hair from balding to....
Great set, check out my review below

Meta tuning is good.
+ Well separated and cohesive U-shaped tuning
+ Deep and rumbly sub-bass
+ Lower midrange is well represented
+ Inoffensive but still well extended treble
+ Good balance of musical and technical
+ Comfortable fit and solid build quality
- Tuning might be too boring/safe for some
- Bass emphasis won't be to everyone's liking
- Vocals lack a little heart/soul/magic
- Accessories could be better for the price
- Soundstage could be more expansive
