The addition of a new titanium-coated polyethylene terephthalate diaphragm combines the strength of titanium with the fluidity of polyethylene terephthalate. With a new powerful magnetic array structure, this dynamic driver provides the highest technicalities and resolution among Kiwi Ears’ dynamic drivers so far.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Kiwi Ears Cadenza II iems grey siting front with cable attached on dark grey textured background\" height=\"1360\" width=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/kiw-cadenza-2-lifestyle.webp?v=1770067130\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTonal Superiority\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal for the Cadenza II was to present the ultimate tonal balance and technicality for all audiences. The Cadenza II was painstakingly tuned, first redesigning KARS 2.0 to match the new dynamic driver, with adjustments at the micrometer scale to perfectly tune the subbass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe midrange required a slight hump to bring out vocal warmth and lushness, which perfectly balances neutrality without being sterile. The treble peaks perfectly at 3kHz - a feat requiring us to go back and redesign the acoustic structure of the driver itself. The treble decay is smooth and extended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of these features are achievements that have previously been never seen before in a single dynamic driver IEM. Kiwi Ears is proud to make a premium audio experience available to all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLasting Durability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo showcase its sound, the Cadenza II had to look and feel as elegant. The shell material has been upgraded to a durable polycarbonate composite, which is stronger than typical resin or plastic, while offering a lush velvet-like texture to the touch. The faceplate is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and laser engraved to achieve a subtle, yet distinct honeycomb design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Kiwi Ears Cadenza II iems in the box\" height=\"2048\" width=\"2048\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/kiw-cadenza-2-box.webp?v=1770067222\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kiwi Ears","offers":[{"title":"Blue","offer_id":42106220019787,"sku":"KIW-CADENZA-2-BL","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":42106220052555,"sku":"KIW-CADENZA-2-GR","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/files\/kiw-cadenza-2-thumb.webp?v=1770067306"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/9255\/5595\/collections\/dita-1-prelude-lifestyle.png?v=1780066903","url":"https:\/\/bloomaudio.mom\/collections\/staff-picks-iems-under-200.oembed","provider":"Bloom Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
