Damn, I came in fully expecting a rec because of the thumbnail and boy was I mistaken. Thanks for an honest musically driven take though. There’s still plenty of art beyond what the graphic says

[@v7001.ver4]

don't trust this guy, he just yaps about things he doesn't know, listen to Paul Wasabi instead.

[@prakharanand7012]

the thing is man, DONT let ppl dictate what you feel for it, a lot of ppl who reviewed this say, its probably not the best music wise, still it competes, and its a cozy listen, very comfortable design and stuff. you have to form ur own opinion, now i know you cant just buy them and waste money just to "try it on your own and make your own opinion" but what can you do? this guys a critical listener, im not, id probably enjoy this much more than he does, hes listened to a LOT more expensive and better iems, youve probably not, so dont worry and be happy instead. audiophiles probably know it themselves, the more critique-like and "audiophilic" you get, the less youll be happy, cuz literally youll need better and better to satisfy your "critique" end of the day, do what you enjoy, take others' advice but still, do you aside from that, theres the simgot ew200p and other good options

[@IRON_PANDA]

The shells look absolutely stunning. Good friday from Finland!

[@EG-MAN]

In the $20 ish range, I still can't find something with outstanding treble, those come almost every time with some noticeable weakness :(

[@SileDevil]

tanchjim zero?

[@jacqn6706]

Tangzu wan'er? Don't have it myself but people seem to like the treble extension.

[@EG-MAN]

@@SileDevil it has almost the same problem as the EA500 for me, it's too much treble, giving it most of the time an unnatural tonality

[@SileDevil]

maybe you should spend more, people say that sets with EST drivers have the best treble.

[@EG-MAN]

@@jacqn6706 it's great, it's almost a tamed EA500, talking about treble, but I still notice some emphasis on the air region 🤔

[@uaexemarat]

The Celest Phoenixcall is probably the most beautiful IEM I've seen with a perfectly matching cable (In the pink/blue combo). It's probably at the competes with its peers in terms of audio performance

[@JohnClarkW]

There are some many good under $30-ish sets. The TRN Conch is pretty impressive, and are similar to the Simgot EW200, but with tuning nozzles, and a nicer cable. Once you get closer to $50 the Z300 stands out as much better, below $20 the QKZxHBB is still an easy pick.

[@JLCMEDEFER]

In every review you teach a lot of details, thank u Also I love the “beatbox moment” when you talk about that powerful kickdrum

[@someoneusa]

This is where individual ear anatomy can make a difference on how we hear things. I'm an old school basshead who loves the 808, prefer quality and quantity bass cz I'm greedy and as many details as I can get without sacrificing good bass. Everything doesn't need to be a basshead set but the bass has to be on point. I have a similar library to yours with the addition of EDM and pop but definitely hear some sets differently. I have og Wyvern which I originally Eq'd bass but now enjoy it with or without eq. I love Kill Jill which somehow I'd never heard before your intro, so thank ya 😁 hopefully one day I'll get to hear the Grand Maestro!

[@_-Z-]

Too bad he didn't like this one but it feels like he was a bit hard on it for the money. I don't really expect it to do anything exceptional but it also doesn't appear to do anything really wrong either. I think this is the first really negative review I've seen on the Wyvern Abyss so far. I'm waiting for my set to arrive so, hopefully, I won't feel the same way. 🤞 In any case, I guess they'll at least be pretty to look at. 🙂

[@TJ746]

The face plate on this set looks really nice, Kinera do make really good looking shells

[@nu11void]

EPZ Q1 pro and EW200 are sets to compete in the budget range and it will not be easy.

[@tauhidirfani271]

i actually just got these for my girlfriend i also got the Kinera boom mic cable thing so she can use it for teaching class in zoom or just casual gaming and discord chat. and she enjoy it so far even more than the Wan'er i got her previously....😄

Coolest looking $30 set.

[@Dr.Dan_K]

Can you update your IEM tier list sometime in the near future? There seems to have been a bunch of releases this year that might end up with decent rankings (DaVinci, Ziigaat...?). With all the midyear sales I've been looking to the lists to find products that are on sale... You're always appreciated! Thanks!

[@BadGuyGoodAudioReviews]

I have to do a major overhaul as about 150 IEM I have done are not on it...outside of Top 10 ranking it's worthless. I'll catch up

[@RageKilla12]

its always good to see more additions the the budget category and it looks great aswell.

[@alvarg]

I like the new video format you have been doing lately, more cohesive and easier to get to the parts you want to know quickly.

[@samdg4353]

An interesting set. Laid back look, too.

[@FunFiEmpire]

The shell really looks like it is from a much more expensive set, not as pretty as the butterfly or divinci, but still very nice. Maybe that was the thought as they knew there were better options...

Always down with a budget set review

[@muhammadali.8170]

Hmm... I'm 50/50 on this one. Perhaps the graph isn't telling the whole story since it appears to be a dark tuned set. There's definitely a market for it though, but at 30 bucks its going up against the likes of Blon Z300 and Juzear Clear. For the treble sensitive folk, this seems excellent, but personally I prefer the other options I mentioned

[@TheEriclikeseatin]

Thanks for your honest take on this set. The budget price range has gotten so cut throat. Makes sense that there are better options out there.

[@Valkyri]

The budget space is definitely most interesting! What really streches your wallet for value! Thanks for sharing!

[@Tonza4]

The shell is awesome, especially the blue/purple scale on the caps.

[@StartCodonUST]

I haven't heard the Aria, but since owning the Truthear Gate, I finally understand the criticism of it being "grainy".

[@TSK5443]

Kinera with safe tuning is a shocker. Faceplate is stunning too

[@Erithonyoutube]

I've honestly been ruined after purchasing the FatFreq Maestro Mini. The amount of bass hits exactly what I was after. That being said.... I'll still probably consider these

It would be awesome if you really like how the shells look then it would fit your library, but life is truly not that easy ... and a yes a video about better IEMs in that budget would be really great or even a whole series if you have the time ...

[@tommyh6630]

Wild how competitive the 30 dollar range is these days. I think it really is worth it to resist grabbing a few of these budget sets though and grab the next tier up if you're able. I'm loving the mid tier life so far lol

[@Psychboy911]

Accessible iems keep getting better but will always be limited in some way. Pretty set. Kinera makes beautiful sets that don’t always live up to the looks, but some are real winners. Thanks for the review.

This seems pretty nice for 30$ set, but it's understandable for the ranking since there are some fierce competition in that price bracket. Though, it does look very nice.

been looking for these for a week finally

[@osingaaa4545]

Happy friday HBB

[@VoxVirtus86]

My understanding is that Celeste is Kinere'a more budget oriented branch of the business. They made the Gumiho and Pandamon I am pretty sure as well. I like the Gumiho if not for the fact that the edges on it are a little sharp and its a bit uncomfortable in the ear. For $30 I might just go ahead and leap, been a bit since I bought any IEMs.

[@musicabstract]

Happy Wednesday!

[@RJAfromWinterfell]

I am eyeing this set but settled with Legato and not regretting it.

[@hovahova_9671]

by far the best looking budget set imo.

[@theOne5555555555]

"Celest" is a bit overused ,but abyss would be a killer name for a bassy set !

If this IEM surprises KZ balanced Libra impresses with its sound, I have never seen such economical IEMs with such good returns and tunings.

[@giorgior95]

Seems like they spent most of the effort on the faceplate and build quality, and in fact they look really nice for just 30$, unfortunately competition is very fierce nowadays in the budget range and sound still remains the most important thing in giving value to your product.

[@BOOM-uu1ek]

that faceplate design is mesmerizing...

[@choydeliverer7162]

This Kinera Celest Wyvern Aabyss is in my watchlist. A fantastic endgame looks-wise iem

[@hazi5961]

I wish Kinera made a few IEMs with some warmer tunings. The majority of their stuff tends to be extreme v shaped with a tilt towards the treble. These look good for the price though...

[@grizzly6699]

I have found more enjoyment in "more affordable" sets. But not at the $30 level. More like $130 - $350 range. That's my sweet spot
