Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss Review - 10mm LCP DD Per Side

Here is my take on the Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss. They use a 10mm LCP dynamic driver per side and the tuning is different to the non Abyss model (white)

[@1337wafflezz]

it’s disappointing to see so many chifi companies not keeping their nice restrained bass curves and simply reducing the pinna and upper mid energy, instead electing to continue making generic shouty and bassy v-shaped sets.

[@renatobdc]

Yeah, I totally agree!

[@kimiko1302]

Totally agree. I think it’s mainly because V-shape is safer to sell and Chifi company needs money to maintain the company as well as further expand their marketshare (as you can see in the sub $20 its mainly V-shape tuning)

[@VortexReviews1]

Indeed.

[@k.w5804]

Has to do with the younger Chinese audience as well. Went to a show in Shenzhen, almost 8 of 10 people I met or talked to prefer the piercing upper mids and treble with minimal bass. I guess beginners are more into that FR for more “details” to convince themselves to explore further down the hole 😂

@@k.w5804 That sucks and they need educating lol

[@boyseverino528]

Mine just came in. Yeah it sounds good. Didnt expect it to be this good for the price.

[@VortexReviews1]

Glad you like it 👍

I received these yesterday and typically I strip the cable and tips and provide my own. I kept the 3.5 cable and added Dunu S&S tips and wow it smashes for 30.00! Vocals are a bit recessed and they are a bit bassy but coming from listening to the DaVinci, they aren't as bassy as DaVinci. These do OST very well! The Mandalorian, Dark Knight to name a couple. Subbed for your honesty in this set! It's amazing what 30.00 will get you now in the budget IEM world!

[@VortexReviews1]

Cheers and thanks for sharing your impressions.

Damn bro are you me? Haha I just got the Dunu DaVincis last week and bought these and they’re delivering tomorrow

man, we've got a gigachad OSTs enjoyer over here! im the same, so whats been the best suited iem for u so far, in the sub 100$ bracket?

@@prakharanand7012 Kefine Delci is where it's at 💯 I also just received a 3.00 set from Temu that wrecks anything under 50.00. I have no idea what brand it is as it came in a bag with no branding.

Nice review I'd love to know a few of your favorite artists or albums you listen to. If you don't mind sharing

Me too 😁

[@geardawg1358]

Same cable that came with the Pandamon, decent enough cable, Personally love the looks..

Indeed 👍

[@waydewatanabe5023]

Nice review How do these compare to the Wan'er? mine broke so thought of getting these. Faceplates look pretty good, I might get it just for that.

[@VortexReviews1]

These have a bit more end than than the Wan'er and sound a little brighter.

[@Silva.concurseiro]

ótimo video amigo! Você recomenda ele para jogos de FPS? Queria comprar ele para jogar somente.

[@VortexReviews1]

Seems okay for gaming and thanks.

[@raisinnotnice]

How would these compare to the EW200s? Mine is a bit annoying becoming unbalanced and always having to remove the filters and looking for something to replace it with.

[@prakharanand7012]

man, i really have been binging ur reviews! theyre good! btw what would u recommend is best for the price? the sonus or the abyss? i def. would like a mostly neutral maybe warm tuning, what would u suggest?

[@VortexReviews1]

Thanks! So many good options now and what is your budget?

[@prakharanand7012]

@@VortexReviews1 yeah, its almost confusing with how many options there are! im grateful tho. my budget would be about 60 to 80 $

@@prakharanand7012 Sonus is a nice set and the Abyss is a touch brighter. Out of the two I would pick the Sonus.

[@SoliNolis]

Ive heard it uses the same driver as the og celest wyvern. is that true? wonder how different the tuning is

[@VortexReviews1]

I have no idea but it uses the same material.

[@pedrobar8281]

which do you prefer Moondrop Chu 2 or Celeste Abyss?

[@VortexReviews1]

Quite similar. Choose what will fit you the best and Abyss has slightly more forward mids.

[@bucke8hea876]

Which one has a more fuller sound? And which one you prefer most - the Nuo or the Abyss ?

[@VortexReviews1]

They are very similar really and I could personally take either.

[@Gadgetibles]

This wyvern, tangzu waner and moondrop chu 2 which is best for listening to hip hop and rnb music and also which is most comfortable in the ears for long listening music sessions ??

[@VortexReviews1]

Comfort wise they are all pretty decent but the Wynern's have the largest shell. I would say the Wan'er is the least likely I would pick for those genre's.

[@jj_zerozero]

I have the original Wyvern (using it ti watch this video) and wouldn't mind getting these new ones for aesthetic reasons (I'm not that updated regarding the current chi-fi meta in a good while so I'm quite content with the Wyvern's sound)

[@VortexReviews1]

Similar tuning so you should like them.

[@Shin-lg8le]

is it worth it to upgrade from tangzu waner to this?

[@VortexReviews1]

Possibly not unless you want a different tuning.

[@D00ssn]

other iems do you consider better for this price range?

[@VortexReviews1]

Not sure about "better" but different ones in the range. I have done a few videos on it.

[@skizzarz]

Not stoked on that graph, the wyverns dig deep, super important. Down with the Hz, Up with the amplitude.

[@VortexReviews1]

Gotcha.

[@skizzarz]

@@VortexReviews1 For real, when will these companies learn we need more low and high end fidelity to even come close to a reasonably faithful reproduction of mere compact digital audio, 20-20,000 Hz. ChiFi still has a ways to go. I believe in y’all!

Hi Vortex, how would you say this set is for all around vocals, both male and female? Was looking for a good set around this price that produces clear, natural vocals that are accurate, yet not too bright - thanks!

[@VortexReviews1]

Vocals on this set for male and female are decent.

[@StarBuccaneers168]

Too bad it didn't come with the balanced bore ear tips. The face plate design is sick.

[@VortexReviews1]

Indeed and that would have been good.

How much do they weigh?

They are not heavy.
