Reviewers largely agree that the Kiwi Ears Orchestra II offers impressive technical performance for its $350 price, with standout bass for an all-BA setup, clean mids, and smooth treble, alongside premium build and accessories.
7:34The reviewer praises the Kiwi Ears Orchestra II as an exceptional value, delivering flagship-level performance with a 10-BA configuration for $350. He highlights its balanced, detailed, and mature tuning across the frequency spectrum, with impressive bass for a BA setup, clean mids, and smooth treble. He concludes it's a strong contender that outperforms many pricier IEMs, making it a potential one-and-done purchase.
11:20The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Orchestra II to be a well-built and technically competent IEM with a smooth, balanced sound, but criticizes its overly safe and relaxed tuning, particularly in the treble, which makes it sound dull and lacking in excitement. He prefers the competing Ziggat Luna for its more engaging and energetic presentation, though he acknowledges the Orchestra II's strengths in timbre and comfort.
24:48The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Orchestra II to be a well-rounded all-BA IEM with impressive bass weight and a premium accessory package, though it has some notable drawbacks like a large cable connector, potential pressure build-up, and a forward upper-midrange that may be shouty for some. Overall, it's a solid but not perfect offering at $350.
9:29The reviewer finds the Kiwi Ears Orchestra II to be a very pleasant and detailed-sounding IEM with a surprising amount of bass and a smooth, non-harsh treble. While the sound has a U-shaped profile with slightly recessed mids, it remains balanced enough for enjoyable music listening and is also suitable for stage use, especially for bass players. The reviewer considers the $349 price to be fair for the quality offered.
10:38The reviewer finds the Orchestra II to be a highly technical and neutral-sounding IEM that excels in imaging and detail, though it lacks a 'wow' factor and may sound boring to some. It is praised for its deep bass, smooth treble, and overall fidelity, but criticized for its ventless design causing pressure fit and an unattractive faceplate. The reviewer considers it a top-tier option in its price range, especially for those seeking pure fidelity.
