Product Description
Don’t let the Kinera Seed’s price tag fool you: It delivers the sound and looks of a more expensive IEM. For one thing, it features a hybrid configuration with one dynamic driver and one balanced armature driver per ear—rare for an IEM in this category Read More
I purchased this IEM very early after it's release for around 40USD. I did not like how the cable oxidized in a few days with daily 30 minute commutes, and that sucks because I thought it looked nice too. The Kinera branding and the L/R indicators on the IEM will also wear out in time. The tips weren't really that nice either (though you'll probably use something else anyways). I also don't like the sound, not sure but something just sounded harsh to it, maybe somewhere in the upper mids/lower treble. Didn't like listening to rock songs on it. But "acoustic" or primarily vocal songs were fine. I think there was also some upper treble rolloff.
What I liked about it though, is that it seals really nice, though the shells aren't really comfortable for me to wear. Maybe some other people (will) like this IEM, because it's probably just not for me (or I have bad taste).
I tried this at a local store in Singapore. This is a very neutral iem, it's a still for its pricing. However this is definitely not suitable for basehead.
Hey guys, I'm the guy who wrote the quoted impressions on HeadPie. The Seed model I had recieved wasn't the final tuning version. And I have not recieved a new one yet so I can't confirm what the final sound tuning will be like. The HeadPie post has since been updated to reflect that there was a tuning change after my first impressions.
KappaI just received my Seed preorder yesterday, and I like my Nuforce much better. First, I do not like the Seed's glossy texture, it kind of feels "greasy" when putting it in, and it looks awkward in the ear. The NuForce at least looks better and IMO fits better. I also like the base on the Nuforce more, the Seed is kind of flat. But everyone will have their own opinion, you may like them better.
