Kiwi Ears Canta

A true hybrid engineering tool (1DD + 2 Planar) built for micro-detail and studio-grade accuracy. They don't hide bad mixing, but for complex instrumental tracks, acoustic guitars, and female vocals, the speed and instrument separation are unmatched. Exceptional VGP-awarded performance for those who have outgrown standard dynamic drivers.

A year ago, I tested the Kiwi Ears Melody and it was a pleasant melodic headphones mainly for calm music.
I naively thought that Kiwi Ears Canta would be a logical continuation of Melody, but it turned out that the producers took a different path and I'm glad about it.
Catch the spoiler, my dear audiophiles: Canta turned out to be audacious, high-quality and very driving headphones!

And now about the nature of the headphones
The emphasis in the sound is on growling electric guitars, deep bass and dedicated percussion instruments.
Does it sound delicious? Of course))
According to their presentation, the headphones are pumped-up brutals who play with real muscles, not silicone implants.
For example, the composition Doro - Descent (feat. Pete Steele)
It all starts with a barrel and a snare drum, which are mixed with an electric overdrive.
Then the vocals of two performers appear, against which a meaty guitar sounds and a bunch of noise from guitar effects to create the scale of the composition.
All this in general sounds brutal, melodic and atmospheric (in terms of mood).
It is in heavy genres of music that these headphones show what they are really capable of.

The stage is of medium size, it is moderately distant and has a trapezoidal shape.
The vocals are perceived clean, with high resolution.

Low frequencies take the stated limit of 20 hz quite noticeably.
The bass is powerful, but not smeared, but assembled and detailed.
The midrange frequencies are well drawn, the instruments are reproduced fairly reliably, with their characteristic nuances.
The high frequencies have an emphasis on 12 kHz, which provides some shine and brightness.

The headphones play any genre of music well and beautifully, but they have no competitors in the heavy metal price range up to $150
I definitely recommend this model to those who want to get drive and emotions from listening to their favorite music!

Title is all. It’s good.

Should you buy the Canta? Well, that’s going to depend on your preferences. There’s a lot to love — a good accessory package, extremely aggressive pricing, and, of course, excellent bass. But do you love treble?Are you are willing to work with the Canta and select eartips, sources, and tracks that suite its style to get the most out of its drivers? Are you using a device with easy access to an EQ and love V-shaped sound signatures? If any of that describes you, buy it.

Listeners seeking warmth, smoothness, or a tame out-of-the-box treble will probably want to wait for Kiwi Ears next iteration of their planar hybrid IEMs. With how quickly Kiwi Ears is improving their lineup these days, you probably won’t have to wait long. Great job Kiwi Ears — you took a risk using a new driver technology and created a good, if somewhat polarizing, first-generation IEM.

I think Kiwi Ears Canta is a really attractive earphone for users who focus on listening to vocal

Excellent textured bass, very transparent mids, and beautifully detailed highs!

Pros: - V-shaped tonality
- Nice organic bass
- Good technical performance
- Unique driver configuration
- Light shell and comfortable to fit
Cons: - One of the worst quality cable i’ve ever seen
- Unrefined treble
- Planar timbre
- Coherency

The Canta is an interesting product from Kiwi Ears to say the least. I think Kiwi Ears is aiming to get the best of both worlds from both types of drivers: The natural bass response with the DD and the effortlessly detailed nature of a planar driver. However, I think the implementation is not there yet, the tonality still needs a lot of touch up and the highly subjective “musicality” factor is not that high with the Canta. However, for what it currently provides, I think the Canta is still an iem worth it to try should you have the chance

Me impresionó lo muy bien que se escuchan, realmente son muy buenos y cómodos de llevar.
Desde que los abres te llevas una gran impresión por el tema de la calidad.
El sonido es magnífico, para escuchar la fidelidad de las voces de los artistas es un 100/100 🔥
Sinceramente Los recomiendo muchísimo ❤️

I liked it as my first iems, everything sounded quite good to me, you were able to hear every instrument. Honestly a great pair.

​◆ Overview & Specs
The Kiwi Ears Canta is a wired hybrid IEM featuring a 1DD (Dynamic Driver) + 2 Planar driver configuration (priced around ¥15,950 JPY). It is crafted with a dedicated, artisan-like acoustic tuning focused heavily on delicate micro-details and vocal expression.
​◆ Key Evaluation & Sound Performance (Score: 34.5 / 40)
​Exceptional Mid-Highs & Vocal Expression (9.5 / 10)
The strongest highlight of the Canta. Leveraging its dual planar drivers, it delivers class-leading clarity in the upper frequencies, capturing the lush texture and breath of female vocals, the delicate pluck of acoustic guitar strings, and clear piano resonances with remarkable freshness.
​Refined & Controlled Bass (7.5 / 10)
Supported by the dynamic driver, the bass is sufficiently present but tuned conservatively. Rather than delivering a heavy, bass-forward sound, it provides a tight and gentle foundation to support the vocals and acoustic instruments.
​High Resolution & Separation (9.0 / 10)
It presents an open, airy acoustic atmosphere where instruments never sound congested even in complex tracks. Each element is cleanly separated, making it ideal for analytical and immersive listening.
​Fit & Build (8.5 / 10)
The earphone shells are remarkably lightweight at just 5.1g each with an ergonomic resin build. While the 6.5mm nozzle diameter is slightly wide and may require mindful eartip selection, it offers excellent passive noise isolation once properly fitted.
​◆ Best Suited For
Vocal-centric tracks, acoustic music, jazz, and classical pieces where subtle layering and delicate sonic nuances shine.

As rhe title says, this is a vocal focused set which zero compromises, a perfectatch for less than 100 USD

J’utilise depuis un moment D I,EM sur des jeux FPS et ça change la donne

Kiwi Ears Canta

I'm not an IEM expert by any means, I just know what I like. These are super comfortable come with an awesome wire a decent case and they fit me perfect and sound excellent! I'm using the gray tips they come with. I tried the other two types but I prefer these. I have three other sets of iems. I do have a pair of iems that cost $200 and I do really like them, but these are even better somehow. And these even came with a better wire! Sound and music are very personal, what one person likes may be horrible for another person. That's why I only use reviews as a guide and not sacrilege haha! I would definitely recommend these to someone looking for something that sounds great and won't break the bank. I use them mostly with my Hiby R4. I've also used them with my steam deck and they are great for that too.

These are well-built. I wish that Kiwi Ears included a nicer cable and nicer tips, but they are serviceable. The sound signature is neutral-bright. The upper mids and treble are a bit spicy. I added a 5mm 400 grade filter on the nozzle and that helped balance out the sound.

I liked how the packaging came in and how you can tell exactly where footsteps are in warzone. why i rated 3 is they start hurting my ears and cant see myself using anymore

Great set for the price! Excellent passive noise isolation

このイヤホンは本当にボーカル特化しています。
高音:刺さりすぎず、かといって弱すぎもしない良いバランスで、解像度が高い。
中音:少し迫力を盛っており、高音や低音より前に出ている印象。ボーカルを際立たせるために工夫されているように感じる。
低音:ボーカルを邪魔しないように控え気味ではあるが、弱すぎる程でもない。高音と同じく解像度が高い
全体:総じてバランスが良く、ボーカル曲を聞くのに『聞き疲れしない』イヤホンだと思う。ボーカルを楽しむなら持っていて損はない1本。

A pleasant sound for those who like colors in music. Great bass, good treble processing, a little distant middle.

Kiwi Ears Canta is great for listening to vocals but that doesn’t mean I couldn’t hear other frequencies. I was abled to hear every detail that I was looking for. These are satisfying earphones.

Main takeaways:
- Extremely easy to drive
- Rich mid-range and crisp mid-treble transition. Definitely vocal-centric, be it male or female vocal. Vocals are PROMINENT
- Ergonomic design. Excellent fit
- Standard sets of ear tips and a thin cable that work
- Excellent imaging
- Detailed in a different way even though there's no BA drivers
