A reference-style IEM with 10 balanced-armature drivers per ear and a four-way crossover. It is aimed at audiophiles and music enthusiasts seeking high clarity, isolation, and studio-oriented sound.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Kiwi Ears Orchestra II is a ten-driver balanced-armature IEM that delivers a crisp, detailed, and energetic sound, with a notable emphasis on midrange clarity and a satisfying bass response for its driver type. It offers strong isolation and is easy to drive, making it a compelling value in the sub-$400 range, though its large shell and pressure buildup may be a concern for some listeners. Overall, it refines the original formula with added sub-bass and treble presence, resulting in a musically engaging and highly recommended package.

What works

  • Excellent midrange clarity and detail
  • Pleasing bass response for a BA setup
  • Easy to drive with most sources
  • Strong isolation and overall package

What doesn't
