Kiwi Ears Cadenza VS 7Hz Elua Ultra

Youtube Video Summary

Compact and comfortable, the 7Hz Elua Ultra brings a tidy dual dynamic driver package for around $30. The rounded shell uses a pretty metal faceplate, sits light in the ear, and isolates better than the 7Hz Zero/Zero 2. Details: flat 2-pin connectors, proper venting, two colorways, and a nozzle that grips tips well. The stock cable is fine for the price—right-angled 3.5 mm, 7Hz branding—but the Y-split wanders and there are no clear L/R markers. A handful of colorful tips is included; nothing fancy, but serviceable.

Sonically, this is a bassy, engaging tune with glidey, impactful low end, upper mids that are present without shout, and treble that’s acceptable yet a bit grainy with limited air and microdetail. The midrange can read a touch lean depending on normalization, giving a mild V/U flavor; still, the overall tonality feels fun and easy to enjoy. Compared against peers, it’s cleaner and less hissy than very V-shaped sets like the G1, shows more bass and upper mids than 7Hz Zero 2, yet can’t match higher-tier options (e.g., Punch Audio Martillo) for technical performance. Verdict: a solid B—good value and a worthwhile pick for listeners wanting a budget bass emphasis, even if the “twinkle” and ultimate resolution are a step behind pricier favorites.
