I dig the Quintet with orchestral and acoustic music.

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

It's so good with orchestral!

@InDueTime25 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for taking the time to review. Would you say that these are similar to the Mangird Tea 1?

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

Nah these have more midrange body

@Xerpocalypse_ 8 месяцев назад

They’re great IEMs. I kinda wish the faceplate was black so it was more *stealth*, but overall the understated look is refreshing in comparison to some of the gaudy IEMs out there.

@TheVeganVicar 8 месяцев назад

Black is BEST. ☝🏼

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

Yep, a stealth version would be cool.

@matsudakodo 5 месяцев назад

The Nova graph looks brighter. These look to be tuned more like Truthear Zero Red

How does the Quintet compare with the Kinera Celest Phoenixcall? Thanks! 😃🎶🎵

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

Phoenixcall has more lower mids body and forward mids in general. Quintet is more balanced and has a larger soundstage.

Kiwi Ears Quintet vs TANGZU - Wu Heyday which one do you recommend?

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

I prefer the Quintet. It's more high fidelity and has better soundstage and details.

@massivemikeh 8 месяцев назад

Quintent vs Orchestra og? I own the Orchestra, does the Quintent offer me something different? Thanks

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

I've only heard orchestra lite. Compared to the lite Quintet is more dynamic to my ears and has a more visceral bass. Also I find Quintets treble more exciting.

@housepianist 8 месяцев назад

⁠⁠@@PrimeAudioReviews interesting. I have the Lites which I love but at times, I wish they had a little more “visceral-ness”, as you noted. But they are super smooth and coherent. However, I just purchased the Truthears Nova (1DD, 4BA) and so far I’m really enjoying those. They kind of give me that little “extra” in the frequency ranges but they could do with a touch more midrange. It’s very close to a Harmon tuning but it works for me.

@matsudakodo 5 месяцев назад

@glsracer 3 месяца назад

This is a weird segment because there are a lot of differing opinions between trusted reviewers that typically agree most of the time. I was going between this, the Aful Performer 5, and the Pula P02. I ended up with the Aful P5s. So far I really like them but I do get the sense that they are a bit fatiguing for me after an hour or two at relatively low volumes. I definitely want to try the QE Quintet at some point. Maybe when 11.11 rolls around this year if some new hotness isn't out by then. The P5s are pretty close to end game for me as I get a bit more detail and bass than my beloved Letshuoer Galileos without moving to some extreme tuning that isn't Harman.

@juliuscharan3690 5 дней назад

Was going to pull the trigger on P5 but then recently have been suggested to check on these , and they have my priority now, any idea how low can these go in sales , 11/11?

@glsracer 5 дней назад

@@juliuscharan3690 my guess is you may see them as low as $175 during one of the really big sales. $200 might a more normal sale price.

@unclethathurts 8 месяцев назад

Please how are these compared to moondrop blessing 3 or variations

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

More detailed and better clarity + soundstage than Blessing 3. The fit will most likely be better for the majority of people too.

@brando5541 8 месяцев назад

How do they fare against the hype 2?

@PrimeAudioReviews 7 месяцев назад

These are more clinical and detailed (and brighter) than the Hype 2. I think Hype 2 is better suited for an all-rounder more casual use and Quintet suited for critical listening.

@reznov3D 8 месяцев назад

I really like the treble of this IEM. Also, the peak at 7.3k Hz is the same frequency as I am hearing. Another graph by other reviewers shows the peak at 8k Hz. The peaks didn't bother me at all. Awesome IEM for the sound, but I wish it has a custom looking faceplate.

@PrimeAudioReviews 8 месяцев назад

I could wish for a prettier faceplate too but once I start listening it doesn't matter!

@eeshandev5081 8 месяцев назад

Kiwi Ears posted on their official instagram account that they're now doing custom face plates and I think custom IEMS too

@nhennessy6434 3 месяца назад

I think they look fantastic. Restrained but ulta high quality look. I don't want to put something in my ears that looks like its faceplate is some kind of abstract representation of a fruit salad.
