Overview
Key Features
The Pinnacle of 1DD Budget IEMs: The Cadenza II combines all of Kiwi Ear’s experience in developing 1 dynamic driver in-ear monitors. From the latest dynamic driver, the utilization of KARS 2.0, unparalleled tonal balance, and premium build quality, the Cadenza II makes no compromises despite its affordable price
KARS 2.0: Cadenza II debuts next-gen Kiwi Acoustic Resonance System: KARS 2.0. Optimized for greater efficiency, better integrated into the acoustic design, and precise low-end tuning, it elevates performance. With KARS 2.0, the Cadenza II boasts pin-point sub-bass: 8dB powerful lows, precisely cutting off at 200Hz for clean, subwoofer-true clarity. New to KARS 2.0, the low-midrange is delicately tuned, a 300~400Hz bump fits modern tuning tastes, delivering lush, uncolored midrange warmth
New Titanium-Coated Diaphragm Driver: To maximize technicalities and sound quality, a new dynamic driver has been developed. A new titanium-coated polyethylene terephthalate diaphragm, which combines the strength of titanium with the fluidity of polyethylene terephthalate was developed. Combined with a new powerful magnetic array structure, this dynamic driver provides the highest technicalities and resolution among Kiwi Ears’ dynamic drivers so far
Unparalleled Tonal Superiority: Cadenza II was painstakingly tuned, first redesigning KARS 2.0 to match the new dynamic driver, with adjustments at the micrometer scale to perfectly tune the subbass. The midrange required a slight hump to bring out vocal warmth and lushness, which perfectly balances neutrality without being sterile. Treble peaks perfectly at 3kHz - a feat requiring us to go back and redesign the acoustic structure of the driver itself. The treble decay is smooth and extended
Premium Construction: To showcase its premium sound, the Cadenza II had to look and feel as elegant. The shell material has been upgraded to a durable polycarbonate composite, which is stronger than typical resin or plastic, while offering a lush velvet-like texture to the touch. The faceplate is CNC machined from aerospace-grade aluminum and laser engraved to achieve a subtle, yet distinct honeycomb design
Detachable Cable System: The Cadenza II comes equipped with a 2-pin 0.78mm detachable cable system. Composed of single-crystal oxygen-free copper wires, the cable allows noise-free crystal clear signal transmission. You can mix and match different cables with the Cadenza II to fit your preferences, as well as extend the longevity of the IEM

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of driver does the Cadenza II use and why does it matter?
It uses a single 10mm dynamic driver with a titanium-coated PET diaphragm. Kiwi Ears bills it as its most resolving dynamic driver yet, blending titanium strength with PET fluidity.
How does the Cadenza II handle bass compared to a more neutral IEM?
It targets a pin-point sub-bass of around 8dB that cuts off cleanly at 200Hz. The tuning aims for subwoofer-true clarity rather than a broad, elevated bass shelf.
What is KARS 2.0 and what does it change?
KARS 2.0 is Kiwi Ears' next-gen acoustic resonance system. It is more tightly integrated into the acoustic design for greater efficiency, precise low-end control, and delicate low-midrange tuning.
Can I replace or upgrade the cable on the Cadenza II?
Yes. It ships with a detachable 2-pin 0.78mm single-crystal oxygen-free copper cable, so you can mix and match cables to suit your preferences and extend the IEM's longevity.
How is the Cadenza II built and does it feel premium?
The shell is a durable polycarbonate composite with a velvet-like texture, said to be stronger than typical resin. The faceplate is CNC-machined aerospace-grade aluminum with a laser-engraved honeycomb pattern.
Who is the Cadenza II best suited for?
It suits budget-minded listeners wanting refined tonal balance from a single dynamic driver, with a warm midrange lift and controlled sub-bass rather than a sterile, strictly neutral signature.
