Customer reviews
What listeners say about sound, fit and everyday use.
Customers praised these wireless headphones for exceptional sound quality and value, with some saying they rival products twice the price. Features include impressive battery life, ANC mode that enhances audio, and three connection methods. Shoppers appreciated the balanced sound profile and stylish case.
I purchased the Kiwi Ears Ardor for $79 including shipping. This product offers the best sound quality among all products under $100 that I've encountered so far.
In terms of sound quality evaluation, it is known to score comparably to the Sony WH-1000XM5, which led me to decide on the purchase. For someone like me who prefers a balanced sound rather than the Harman target curve, it was very intriguing.
Among 40mm + 10mm driver products, the first one I bought was the Bowie H1 Pro, which had terrible balance, whereas this product fits my taste perfectly.
If choosing a value-for-money product that is not Harman target-tuned, I recommend this one.
Los kiwi ears ardor son tienen un gran sonido y, sobre todo, una buena afinación.
Teniendo en cuenta su precio, características y sonido son una muy buena opción.
Lo que no me ha gustado nada es que las almohadillas no se puedan quitar y reemplazar.
La comodidad de la diadema es mejorable ya que apoya en un espacio muy pequeño y las copas son algo justas de tamaño.
These are the best wireless over-ear headphones I've heard in this price range. And even at twice the price. Buy them and you won't regret it.
Tienen una gran calidad de audio por tan poquito :o
The sound is good (it is better to use headphones with ANC mode turned on - the sound will be better). The autonomy is impressive. Three different connection methods are available. ANC can work including with a wired connection.

Kiwi Ears Ardor
Incredible Value: competes with $150 cans with bluetooth, in any event these are premium headphones. Look chic with a beautiful case as well (which is a welcome bonus) Personally I love the timbre on these Ardor. Vocals & acoustic sound great too me. Just purchased a kiwi Eclipse as well. Linsoul/ Kiwi are a great Team for sure. Thank you
Ottimi prodotti. Ottima azienda
