Youtube Video Summary

The Kiwi Ears Septet is a multi-driver oddball in the best way: a single DD + 4BA + planar + PZT hybrid with an open-back shell at $259. Build is solid with a metal body, flat 2-pin sockets and a handsome modular cable; fit is stable and isolation would be strong if it weren’t vented. It’s clearly aimed at listeners who want something different in both design and presentation.

Sonically it’s a down-tilted, slightly L-shaped tuning: deep, thumpy bass, subdued upper-mids, and a sparkly 4–6 kHz region that adds air and detail. The open structure creates a speaker-like stage—wide, clean imaging with a sense of room—but it can show a hint of hiss and benefits from more power (dongle/DAP recommended) to wake up dynamics. It’s a unique, spacious listen that some will love and others won’t; while the treble and imaging impress and it earns a recommendation (even a spot in a price-tier top 10), those wanting stronger presence in vocals may prefer Kiwi Ears’ more conventional tunings or adjacent sets like Astral or Performer series.
