This Is The ₹2K IEM Killer | Kiwi Ears Cadenza IEM Review

[@neel09876]

Thanks paul for reviewing this, I have bought these despite you suggested the Simgot ew200 ones in sub 5000 range because of the price point. And am truly satisfied. Will get the simgot later though.

[@immanuelsrudhrakshan9797]

I am using Simgot EW 200. I will try this IEM in future

[@lavatr8322]

Thanks both tell me which one has better soundstage, THICCC bass Superb Treble but not Harsh Pricky Fatiguing treble.... I have small ears which one is comfortable? Music I listen to is Coldplay EDM Hans Zimmer... Little bit Bollywood.

[@AshokKumar-qm5cj]

Its a slight downgrade but makes sense if you dont like ew 200's brighter sound​@@immanuelsrudhrakshan9797

Brother I own Kz ZSN Pro X with ddhifi dac with apple music, I feel like the sound is piercing my ears and it's sharp like it has more treble, I don't like it, I like bass and detail can I go for Cadenza ?

I have both KZ ZSN Pro X and Cadenza . Cadenza is WAAAAAAY more owerpovered. Go for it all i can say. Also buy for them either Jiju-Jet3 Eartips or Spinfit W1 ;)

Thanks for the good video. I am using fiio jd1 currently. Is it worth upgrading to this one.

[@PaulsPOV]

The JD1 is a great IEM in it's segment and so is the Cadenza in it's segment, but expect diminishing returns with a small jump in budget like this. You'd have better returns from IEMs in the 6 to 7K budget if you're looking for a more significant upgrade.

i think HPZ haven't changed the stock sound signature, only played with their looks & aesthetic !!

[@prithvi9727]

Hi Paul, Excellent, useful review. Thanks. Do these cater to small ear canals (as you've mentioned)? .. just need to be sure in order to know how small these actually are since my ear canals are quite small. Also do you recommend a DAC with this? If yes, then which affordable, compatible one do you suggest for this beauty? Appreciate it!!

[@PaulsPOV]

The housings are on the smaller side but the nozzles are wide. Putting ear tips onto these can be a bit of a struggle. If you have small ear tips that fit you, I'd suggest using them on these.

[@yashrajjaiswal6051]

has anyone used it for fps gaming I was searching for gaming headphones but came across IEM's and got to know that these are good for detecting footsteps and are good for gaming , can anyone suggest some good iems under 3K ofc 😅 and maybe an affordable DAC

[@yashwardhansrivastava54]

Hello sir Been following you since a year, i bought oppo enco air2 pro, based on your recommendation. Enjoying the tws😀. Just wanted to indulge more into the music, was searching a nice pair of iems and your videos were the only place to find the perfect ones. I just saw your tangzu wanner sg video and im inclined towards them, but these. Could you pls suggest a pair based on your experience around 2.5k. I like bands like the Neighbourhood, Chainsmokers, One direction and artists like The weeknd, some of Lana Del rey, adele. And sometimes bollywood too. Till now i think Tangzu would be the best but if you got even better recommendations i solely believe in you😅

[@PaulsPOV]

The Tangzu is a great set and one of my favourites in the price range. But for a first time IEMs buyer, I'd say the FiiO JD1 might be a bit better suited. Have a look at this review, it should help you make a decision -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWTMmWWpYtaCe5I

How is it compared to Zex pro, Thruthear Gate, 7Hz zero & zero2 or Moondrop chu 2? Is it really the best overall compared to them?

@@lavatr8322 Well, if Blon BL3 is your choice that means you prefer bass, I'd suggest you go with any KZ product under 3k, Zex pro is pretty good option.

This certainly has a heavier response in the bass than the EW200, but I think the EW200 might be a little crisper with its imaging.

Hey Paul! Please do a review on KZ ZSN Pro 2

[@PaulsPOV]

I've listened to it briefly at all Headphone Connect event and liked it, but I still prefer the ZSN ProX. It was fuller sounding and more fun to listen to.

[@imnikshay]

Bro this vs Tangzu Wagner SG x headphone zone collab ?? Should i go for Cadenza??

[@imnikshay]

Cadenza is under 3k and Tangzu Wagner Collab is under 2k !!

[@sayanmandal5367]

i have both the tangzu and this,not the headphone zone colour but the green one, same everything except colour. Cadenza is a pretty old model now. I can say that in pure sound, tangzu is better in vocals and cheaper in price. Tangzu actually is a odd one out as in some situation, it is better in sound than even the Moondrop Aria 2 which costs 8K. I have listened to them for at least 150 hrs or more each, with a dongle dac and Moondrop Dawn pro dac. Then again I must mention that this audiophile hobby is pretty subjective. Cadenza will give u better build quality and Berillium drivers are non-existent under 10K segment. But,still tangzu is better in sound if listen to both of them back to back. P.S. I have 10+ iems from 1500 to 50K. I can assure you the frequency response curve and the actual sound are different things in certain occasions. Cheers to happy listening!!!
