Kiwi Ears is a brand dedicated to crafting acoustically tuned, handcrafted, and budget-conscious audio products. Its lineup includes in-ear monitors (IEMs), full-sized headphones, and, more recently, Bluetooth open wearable stereo (OWS) devices. Each product is designed with a focus on tonal accuracy, dependable build quality, and everyday usability. Notable IEMs include the Cadenza, Quintet, and Orchestra Lite — the latter featured in a video by popular YouTube channel ShortCircuit.
The brand's headphone line is also expanding, with models like the Ellipse and Division. Unbox Therapy recently spotlighted the Ardor in an unboxing video. Rounding out the lineup are the Attiva and Spark, wireless open-ear designs that mark Kiwi Ears’ entry into the portable Bluetooth audio space.
Following the positive reception of the Septet—a Quadbrid IEM that blends multiple driver technologies—Kiwi Ears introduces its latest headphone release: the Altruva. This new model features an open-back dynamic design, offering a sound profile tailored for clarity, spatial depth, and comfort. With a $15 early bird preorder discount, the Altruva has already sparked interest among audio enthusiasts.

With PVD-coated stainless steel, wooden ear cups, and vegan-leather cushions, the Altruva balances aesthetic appeal with lasting comfort. A suspension-style headband helps reduce pressure and fatigue during extended sessions.
Tuned with studio reference in mind, the Altruva aims to deliver clean, fast bass, natural mids, and airy, extended treble without harshness. Its open-back design creates a wide soundstage, enhancing realism and spatial presentation—ideal for critical listening and relaxed enjoyment alike.
The Kiwi Ears Altruva is now readily available in two colour options—Grey and Wood Brown—through Linsoul and other authorised retailers.
We welcome impressions from the community and look forward to seeing how the Altruva fits into your audio journey.
Cheers,
Linsoul Team
