Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene - Z + Kiwi Ears 👍👍👍 - Honest Audiophile Impressions

A BIG thank you to Linsoul Audio for providing the Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews Serene for review, much appreciated. Purchase/More Info: https://www.linsoul.com/products/kiwi-ears-x-z-reviews-serene?_pos=1&_psq=serene&_ss=e&_v=1.0 The collab between Z Reviews & Kiwi Ears for the budget planar closed back headphone, surprised me. The Serene has Z footprint all over it. If you wonder what sound presentation Z enjoys, check out the Serene.

I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician. Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
