The Kiwi Ears Aether is the set I reviewed here: a $170 single planar with a huge 15.3mm driver that sounds effortless and super resolving. If you want wide, open staging and clean detail for acoustic and instrumental music, this one really delivers for the price.
Pros
- +Super resolving, detailed planar presentation
- +Impressively wide and open soundstage
- +Treble is controlled and less fatiguing for long sessions
- +Bass is fast, clean, and well separated
Cons
- -Below-average passive isolation due to vents
- -Takes more power than many IEMs (less sensitive)
- -Bass lacks dynamic-driver punch/impact for bassheads
