The planar driver is one of the highest regarded driver types used in high-end headphones.
Thanks to new technological innovations, the large-sized planar drivers have been replicated in a smaller package to be fit into IEM’s. Kiwi Ears’ new in-house 12mm planar driver delivers the same fast responsive and high-resolution audio like those found in top-end headphones, but with the durability and portability of an in-ear earphone.
The new 12mm planar driver delivers a frequency response range from 5Hz to 40,000Hz. This means every audible nuance from the lowest of the bass to the slightest microdetail in the treble is faithfully reproduced from your music. The bass truly rumbles with great sensitivity and power, while the trebles are airy and filled with shimmer. And thanks to the custom designed driver housing enclosure, the soundstage is wide and realistic, like that of open-back headphones, with accurate imaging reproduction.
Powerful Tuning
Deviating from the normally neutral tonal balance found in our other IEM’s, the Melody is truly a bass-lover’s dream. The Melody was tuned to fully demonstrate the powerful bass that a planar driver can output. The Melody provides the most quantity and quality bass from our lineup of IEM’s so far, with an impactful slam that is extremely fast and responsive, fully characteristic of true planar drivers. But to prevent a dull or muddy sound signature, the mids and treble have been carefully tuned to match the bass. With a precise treble placement at 3kHz to match the ear’s natural perceived hearing, and a gradual treble curvature, the Melody provides crisp articulation. And thanks to our in-house driver advancements, the ultra treble from the 10kHz to 40kHz is fully extended, to provide hyper realistic air and microdetails.
Easy Compatibility
The Melody’s engineering was fully optimized to efficiently power our planar driver. With an impedance of only 18Ω and a 102dB sensitivity, the Melody can be paired with any mobile or professional DAC/AMP. This makes the Melody perfect for both on-the-go as well as sit-in setting
Detachable Custom Cable
The Melody comes standard with a detachable cable featuring 0.78mm 2pin connectors. This high quality custom cable optimizes signal transmissions while reducing microphonic noises. The cable can be swapped with other cables to customize your experience, as well as extended the longevity of the IEM.
