Linsoul Kiwi Ears Quartet 2DD+2BA Hybrid In-Ear Monitor, HiFi Earphones with Hand-crafted Resin Shell, Detachable OFC Silver-plated IEM Cable for Audiophile Musician DJ Studio Gaming (Purple, Quartet)

First thing when you receive the earbuds is getting them the right way around and getting a good fit. I use Spinfit tips because they make an XL which is soft and stops me shoving the iem hard into my ears. Once you get a proper seal, the iem will produce good bass. Next is getting the cable on. Tiny little pins. Just make sure each capsule is the right way round in your ears and not on the wrong side of your head. When on the correct way, they sit flat whereas the wrong way around, they stick out! Cable is very flexible and non microphonic. It doesn’t transmit sounds into the headset if you move around. The next thing that I noticed was just how beautifully the buds fit into your ears. I find lining up the tips with my ears and then twisting upwards gets them to slot into my ears really solidly. The the moment of truth….. play something. The sound is huge. These buds produce a fat, juicy bass that is absolutely fantastic for electronic music and rock. For orchestral, I found them a bit weighty with timpani especially but that is no problem. There are tiny little adjustment switches on the buds that adjust the EQ and it makes a difference. They each have two positions …. On or off and there are two of them on each bud. If 1 is on and 0 is off, I adjusted mine to 0 : 1. The first switch adjusts bass amount and the second lower treble. Even though I have the bass on 0, it still hits magnificently. The treble is slightly raised which is great for strings and cymbal sounds. The default setting when you get the earbuds is 1:1. Lifted bass and lifted treble. I have quite a few earbuds and some sound pretty good, others not so good. I also have found fit on many to be very problematic. With the Quartet, I found it to sound powerful, smooth and big bonus ….. comfortable. Just find the right sized tip, whether it’s one of their tips or another make. Spinfit are amazingly good with them. I am absolutely delighted with these buds. They sound like a full bodied large headphone which is fantastic for portable use. So good that it’s easy to forget that you might be walking around outside and get distracted by such good sounds from the Quartet. Now one of my favourite earbuds.

Really good quality, feels comfortable in and around the ears, much prefer these to a headset

My bass player uses these for live performances and rehearsals, he is very happy with the monitoring in the lower registers for his playing as well as his singing. Great fit and look too!

The IEMs aren’t terrible, but they didn’t meet my expectations. To be fair, my opinion is shaped by the specific genres I listen to and my personal sound preferences. That said, I found these IEMs to be quite overrated, which ultimately led me to return them. The sound came across as tinny to my ears, and the tuning switches didn’t make a noticeable difference. I even tried tweaking using EQ, but the improvements didn’t warrant me spending the money. Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews, I personally struggled to enjoy the sound profile and feel that giving them 3 stars is generous. That said, audio is highly subjective, and I can understand why others might love them and rate them higher and so I still recommend giving them a try as they might suit your ears better than mine. On the positive side, the packaging follows the usual clean and minimalist style typical of Kiwi Ears, which I have no complaints about. The travel case, however, is a bit tight, it tends to compress the IEMs slightly. Build quality is solid overall, with nothing major to fault and the comfort is very good as they aren’t too large and fit very well within my ears.

Honestly amazing, even better when correctly powered by an in-line dac or headphone dac amp :) So much detail, incredible low end

All i will say is that they are excellent as other reviewers have mentioned the sound. 👌

TLDR: They're fine, but not my favourite audio playback method. I paired these with a SYBA Sonic DAC and they work just fine, but before I was using older cheap Hyper-X earphones (£20~) and I'm honestly not noticing much of an improvement. I'm 26 so it's not like I'm super deaf or anything, but either the hyper X earphones were either insanely good or more realistically these Kiwis just aren't that good. I also find the over ear cable system to be quite uncomfortable, especially when compared to a quality pair of headphones. They do come with a variety of earbuds sizes and generally the fit is quite good, but I think I'm just going to purchase wireless headphones in the future. (My old A50s died on me after 5y of service, RIP). The look and style of these earbuds are insane though, I find the purple and black epoxy look to be visually striking, but looks don't matter that much unless you're a streamer I suppose, which I'm not. Overall I think these are fine, but I paid around £84 for these and I would have preferred putting that money into a solid set of wireless headphones, like the steel series artics pro or the latest A50s.

The iems sound amazing, deep bass with excellent clarity and high hits. The switches on the earphones do allow you to tune it quite a bit. However, the first pair I had the right iem suddenly became much more bassier, making some content and songs almost unbearable to listen to, this happened about 1.5 months into owning them. I returned them and had a new pair, exactly the same thing happened within the same Timeframe. There is no issue with the device being used or the cable being used for the iems (the stock included cable). They sound amazing but I have serious concerns over the longevity and durability of these, I would not buy another pair from kiwi ears again.

The Linsoul Kiwi Ears Quartet are amazing for both gaming and music. The soundstage is wide and the imaging is super accurate — you can easily pinpoint footsteps and directional sounds in FPS games. The bass is punchy without being overpowering, and the mids/highs stay clear so voices and gunfire sound clean. They’re really comfortable for long sessions and look awesome too. Took a bit of trial and error with the fit, but once set up, they perform flawlessly. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting high-end audio quality for competitive gaming! Definitely get an audio dac to drive these !

J'ai depuis pas mal de mois à tester les Linsoul Kiwi Ears Quartet et je suis ravi de partager mon expérience. Dès le déballage, j'ai été impressionné par la qualité de fabrication de ces écouteurs. La coque en résine artisanale est non seulement esthétiquement plaisante, mais elle est également confortable à porter pendant de longues périodes. En termes de performance audio, ces écouteurs hybrides avec 2 pilotes dynamiques et 2 pilotes à armature équilibrée offrent un son exceptionnel. Les basses sont profondes et puissantes sans être envahissantes, tandis que les médiums et les aigus sont clairs et bien définis. Que ce soit pour écouter de la musique, jouer à des jeux vidéo ou même lors de sessions de mixage en tant que DJ, les Kiwi Ears Quartet se comportent remarquablement bien dans toutes ces situations. Le câble détachable en OFC plaqué argent est un excellent ajout, offrant non seulement une connectivité flexible mais aussi une amélioration de la qualité sonore. Cela permet également une personnalisation facile avec d'autres câbles si nécessaire. Dans l'ensemble, je suis extrêmement satisfait de mon achat. Pour le prix, les Linsoul Kiwi Ears Quartet offrent une qualité audio qui rivalise avec des modèles bien plus chers. Si vous êtes à la recherche d'écouteurs HiFi polyvalents, que ce soit pour la musique, le gaming ou les performances live, je ne peux que vous recommander ces écouteurs. Une expérience vraiment enrichissante !

Un suono veramente bilanciato e pulito, le uso per produrre live set e sono veramente di alta qualità

Me parece muy buen sonido, por el precio lo valen, buenos bajos y agudos digamos calidos, aunque tiene en cada auricular una palanca para aumentar o disminuir por decirlo de alguna forma bajos y agudos, se acomodan muy bien en la oreja y oido, y no pesan casi nada

Deze monitoren zijn geweldig voor gamen en casual muziek luisteren. Zelf ben ik echt een liefhebber en dit is niet mijn eerste set iem's maar ze hebben een zeer goede indruk gemaakt. Ze moeten echt wel even inspelen maar nadat ze los zijn gekomen heb ik met tranen in mijn ogen geluisterd naar "little person" van Michael Wollny. Echt een aanrader voor zowel liefhebbers met een beperkt budget als de gemiddelde luisteraar.
