Product Snapshot
Description
Experience a responsive and impactful sound with the Kiwi Ears Cadenza in-ear monitors. This earphone is equipped with a 10mm dynamic driver with a Beryllium diaphragm. The driver is housed in a specially-designed shell and comes with a high-quality cable.
Feel the Music
Enjoy the resounding impact and attack speed of the Kiwi Ears Cadenza’s bass, specially adjusted to bring out the best of the beryllium diaphragm. The quick bass decay ensures clear mids without any muddiness. The driver’s transient response further enhances the details for a lush and rich sound. The treble response follows a Harman-reference standard style curve that’s fatigue-free, natural and airy.
The Best of Beryllium
Beryllium diaphragms are considered among the best diaphragm materials in dynamic drivers. This is due to their lighter and stiffer membranes that deliver faster responses for higher audio resolution and clarity across the frequency range. Beryllium even has the greatest tensile strength and surface tension (compared to other materials used in the audio industry), offering a powerful and premium audio experience.
Handcrafted for Balance
The Kiwi Ears Cadenza has been tuned by experts for a balanced sound signature that matches audiophile standards. This was achieved by fitting the IEM’s 10mm dynamic driver in a 3D-printed, custom-designed housing. Each unit is handcrafted by a small team of dedicated engineers.
Connections that Matter
The Cadenza comes with a 4-core braided cable that terminates in a standard 3.5mm single-ended plug. This offers seamless connectivity with most smartphones, computers and other audio devices. A 2-pin connector further enhances its connectivity with its ability to connect to a variety of cables.
Music Heard Like Never Before
Why settle for mediocrity when you can experience the best? Kiwi Ears works with this belief to pursue extraordinary audio reproduction. Each IEM is created with musicians and studio engineers in mind. The aim is to produce the finest IEMs that reveal every nuance in the music through an amalgam of technological innovations with refined tuning strategies.

Customers praised these IEMs for exceptional vocal clarity and mid-range performance, ideal for vocals and acoustic music. Reviewers noted "excellent sound quality," "deep and tight bass," and comfort for long sessions. Common feedback: average soundstage, not ideal for bassheads or heavy rock. Included eartips may need replacement for optimal fit. Great value for beginners.
Good for:
>Vocal dominated tracks (general bollywood songs)
>Indian classical in vocal. string and wind instruments, acoustic guitars.
> Western classical focused on Piano, violin and cellos (e.g. Ludovico Einaudi, Lang Lang)
Need a little twigs in eq:
> Female vocal may need 2-3 db boost in at around 2k region.
> Old tracks designed for tapes and cassettes generally has treble boosted in default. Hence a 1-2 db pull down in 8k &16k band makes it more enjoyable (e.g track - Nahi samne from movie Taal)
Not good for:
> Heavy rock and metals that demands more throbbing base.
> Heavy electric guitars mainly power chords & overdrive base guitars sounds muddy.
> Lacks wide sound stage required for large and dynamic orchestral pieces. Like cornfield chase by Hans zimmer, Nostalgia by Yanni
> Hip-hop and Electronic tracks lacks the attacks and punchiness
VERDICT:
> Deep and tight base, buttery soft mids and well defined and perfectly rolled out treble that doesn't heart your ears after a while.
>Go for it if you are a bollywood song lover. You can't get anything better, at least at this price brakets.
> Shines well with Sigma-delta dacs but feels bit too warm for r2r Dacs. Although some people can prefer that. But do not use it with a very powerful amp. Personally I felt opamp like MAX97220 is more than enough.
> Base is deep and tight. So do not buy this if you want thumpy base.
> Not a flat responding iem. So do not consider it if you want an analytical piece. > Choose it if you are looking for long listening sessions with deep imotional attachment rather than analytical detailing.
I bought Cadenza as my first IEMs, before buying these I researched a lot about every kind in this budget I could go for, I streched and bought these as something which sounds, harmonious, smooth and comfortable for long sessions, even then the details and the sound still puts me in awe beating any earbuds and in ear sound system I have ever tried.
New on this IEM journey and I must say they sound better than my 3x priced headphones.
I like the sound and clarity.
This is my first IEM. I like the way it sounds. Though I expected much better soundstage but it is good. After using this, I will definitely buy my second IEM. Trust The Audio Store, they delivered as expected. Actually someone suggested me on reddit to go with audio store and I will definitely recommend others the same.
Pretty good iems for a 1st time user
everything is great but would have been even better if it had a mic
Great product. Great packaging in delivery
Loved the package and the IEM too..!
Tuning is great and I am yet to use it intensively but initial experience was nothing short of amazing..!!!
Great iem for beginners
I bought it in purple. It is light and robust yet aesthetically exquisite. It fits well.
Sonically, it sounds neutral boosted. It is musical and presents a good imaging. However, stage is average. There is nothing wrong with it. It ticks all the areas in at a resonable price.
Fast delivery. Excellent sound quality
I bought the IEM specially for gaming and FPS games, and it absolutely does the job. The sound clarity is amazing, the spacious sound is great, footsteps can be clearly heard, the mids and high are good without causing any strain. The Bass is okay, wouldn't recommend to a bass head.
I am not an audiophile, I'm not chasing the perfect sound. I like simplicity & I don't own another pair of IEM's. This is just my opinion, (a nobody) so take what I say with a pinch of salt..
I wanted a decent pair of wired earphones. I'm coming from wired skullcandy's, Sony's & a wireless p30i. With tinkering the EQ + eartips, I get what I need but I wanted something that would just work out of the box on any device + last a few years.
These do just that, are a good pair in my opinion - they sound fun & balanced as compared to budget, off the shelf ear phones, not at all harsh or booming with base that sounds muddy or cheap. They're relaxed and you tend to forget you have them on after a while (if you find the right fit), they're that tiny which I wasn't expecting.
They're not neutral to my ears but I didn't want that anyway.
They also came with a long strand of dark hair in the box, possibly all the way from China, with love.
The tips included didn't give me the snug fit though! Hence the 4 stars. I was disappointed at first as they sounded thinner than my £4 skullcandy's. It makes a world of a difference if you have tips that fit you best. (I use the green colour coded ones from Sony).
Also open up nicely if you have the patience with an EQ with not a lot of faffing around.
Shipment was within 2 days and well packed, ta!
Hope this helps.
Very clean sounding IEM with a slightly warm signature and sufficient bass, pair it with a powerful DAC like Audiocular Aura for the starter for the best experience.
Excellent upgrade over my existing speakers, home theater, earphones etc. Using with apple music lossless and it has changed my experience of music completely. Highly enjoyable and accurate sound. No fatigue even while listening to 3 or 4 hours continuously. Very good comfort. Very happy with these earphones
I am not audiophile but the amount of research I have done to get my first iem ,I mean so much. Kiwi ears Cadenza just blew me away with it's music 🎶 😍❤️🔥.I have used Oppo enco buds 2 , Samsung galaxy buds live, Realme buds 2 , after hearing both wireless , wired connection , These iem just gave me so much clarity in every songs like I'm hearing them for the first time in my life . If you have 3k or 3.5k I mean the price can vary time to time ,just buy them ,you won't regret it ✨️
Now let me say about somethings you have to look ,then you can hear the best music .
1st - The eartips provided in the box ,for me the white ones are crystal clear ,The full black ones are like music is happening in the back of the head ,I mean nothing is in the forward and the black red ones are bassy calm ones ,they will make your ears boomy ,the thump is there🤩🔥✨️ But my favourite is white ones❤️🔥I like flat crystal clear music ❤️
Next get yourself a 3.5mm dac ,it will enrich your music listening and give power to your iem.
Now another important thing ,download the song in lossless format like Flac or Wav for mesmerizing details in songs and no crackling or distortion in songs or hear music in apple music with monthly subscription .Let me tell you every songs is not hi res ,so don't worry about no seeing hi res or lossless mark in song section but try to hear or download them in pure form .
My iem journey today starts with kiwi ears Cadenza ( it is in burningstage ,if any problem arrive I will update✌🏻), It is a rabbit hole, so much to know about eartips, cables, drivers ,Eq so much more .Whoever read this to the last ,thank you & best of luck your iem journey for future, Have a great life ❤️✨️🫶🏻 Thank you The AudioStore❤️🔥❤️🔥

Pairing this Harman Target Version with a Samsung A17 playing Apple Music and FLAC files and Fiio X1 DAP as a secondary source with FLAC files. When tuned to give preference to Mids as i prefer to hear the voices more than anything else, this comes out as a sweet sounding combination and tracks like Racy Chapmans Fast Car and Massive Attacks Teardrop shine beautifully. The Castor Pros are best listened at about 40% volume and and infact they do actually sound amazing at a high volume for bass heavy tracks such as EDM but for Trance and Rock the cymbals and snare drums sound better at 40%. This pair of iems and the combo sounds like money well spent so far and next i want to try analytical IEMs like the 7Hz. Thanks to the Audio Store for the rushed delivery.
Great purchase... excellent product
Good Product as expected
Worth every penny! This is not for bassheads as it lacks just a bit on the bass department, but the separation is awesome and the sound stage is also huge. Awesome for gaming as well! (Apex Legends, Arc Raiders, PUBG)
This is the replacement for my purchase of moon drop dsp chu2 which I bought in aug 2025 i don't know how it got damaged from last it stopped working on left side buds and after a few days mic also stopped working and i forgot to claim the warranty for it . So find this spare cable very helpful since I love these IEMS for real Tq AUDIO STORETEAM FOR THE smooth delivery
Great job on packing of the product. As a gamer I can say that, for fps games like PUBG , CS2 etc., Castor Pro is the best in under ₹2000
I recently bought this and am incredibly impressed with it. The build quality feels solid and premium right out of the box.
When it comes to performance, the amplification is fantastic—it delivers a clear, noticeable boost to the audio power and volume without sacrificing clarity. It is also incredibly easy to use; completely plug-and-play with zero hassle.
An awesome bonus is the inclusion of the Type-A to Type-C dongle/adapter. It makes it incredibly versatile to connect to different devices right away without needing to buy extra accessories.
Overall, it's a great purchase and definitely worth the money. If you are on the fence, just get it!
As an all rounder it fits my taste quite well,the only problem it really has is the male vocals being a bit recessed (not terribly recessed if you use vocal eartips),they are a tad bit overpriced seemingly,divine planar might be better,but for people looking for a fun entry into iem's,it's worth the price (some people say it's included DAC isn't enough,it works well enough as a temporary solution,yet to test if a dac makes a big difference or not).
Unsure if this is how most iem's are but the cable felt a tad bit short.
I had never used an IEM before, so this was my very first experience and I was genuinely impressed. As someone who loves music, I can confidently say this is one of the best investments you can make for audio quality. The sound is exceptional and absolutely worth the price.
To get the best possible audio experience, I would also recommend pairing it with a good-quality DAC, as it significantly enhances the overall output. ....
This is the most balanced sounding IEM I've used in this price. I am using the Type C variant, and I haven't experienced any issue regarding the playback whatsoever. It is equipped with the DAC chip CX31993, which is found on the dedicated DACs around the price of 1K. The cable is also a 4-core silver plated copper one, with really nice build quality. These are also really responsive to EQ Settings, tweaking the audio balance using a 10 or 31 band EQ makes the experience even more versatile.
The only cons I have noticed are regarding the in-box ear tips, I didn't find them to be very comfortable, so I had switch them with some other ear tips. Although, the metal built of the IEMs give them a really premium feeling, the glossy surface is extremely prone to scratches and they still get scratched even after using cautiously.
It is best in budget dac.
Save money get this dac-amp
It is good but could be a bit sharp sometimes may be balanced by EQ. But one problem in my type C unit, after 3 days it stop sound out of nowhere, while listening music, or watching movie/yt. Have to plug out plug in to get the audio back.
This is a magical DAC, I don’t believe ki isne mere headphones main jaan daal di ho
Really the quality of aurora ultra is out of the box , literally if you never use an iem and experience first time you feel actual music. Aurora ultra give life best experience.
This is only possible because of the audio that my first experience and the audio store surve there best to just create my best experience thanks a lot for protective, timely delivery and
Again thanks for giving that service and seamless experience to the team
