Kiwi Ears Airoso

The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Airoso to be a warm-leaning, smooth-sounding hybrid IEM that sits between the EM6L and Sla3 in terms of dynamics. It offers good treble extension and a musical, engaging tuning, though it's not a top value pick for pure technical performance compared to competitors like the Nova or Super Mix 4. The reviewer recommends it as an enjoyable all-rounder, especially for those upgrading from budget sets like the EW300.

The reviewer praises the Kiwi Ears Airoso for its unique mid-range boosted tuning, which makes vocals stand out clearly in busy tracks, and finds the overall sound balanced and enjoyable. They note the bass is textured and non-fatiguing, and the treble is pleasant, though they mention the nozzle may be too deep for some ears and recommend shallow ear tips. The reviewer concludes that Kiwi Ears has delivered an impressive tuning at a surprisingly affordable price.

The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Airoso to be a fun, bassy IEM with excellent build quality and a sophisticated tuning that rivals more expensive sets, but notes a treble peak around 13kHz that may cause sensitivity issues for some listeners. Overall, it's considered a great value, especially if that treble spike doesn't bother you.

The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Airoso to be a good $130 IEM with a fun, engaging bass and a wide soundstage, but notes comfort issues with stock tips and a flimsy cable. They recommend it as an alternative to the Kiwi Ears KE4 for those seeking a warmer, more dynamic sound, though it can be peaky in the upper mids and treble depending on the source.

The reviewer bought the Kiwi Ears Airoso used and found it disappointing, particularly due to weak mid-bass and thin, lacking vocals. Despite decent sub-bass impact, the overall sound was too lean, and even with different ear tips, the issues persisted, leading the reviewer to conclude it falls below the bar and is worse than the Hexa.
