{"product_id":"kiwi-ears-astral","title":"Kiwi Ears Astral","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Kiwi Ears Astral is the brand's professional grade hybrid in-ear monitor, built around a dedicated dynamic subwoofer and six balanced armatures per side. It is tuned for accuracy first, with a generous sub-bass shelf that keeps the presentation engaging rather than sterile, and it ships with a modular cable that terminates in both 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eType and Technology\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach shell houses a custom 10mm bioceramic diaphragm dynamic driver that acts as a subwoofer, rolling off gently at 300Hz where it hands over to the armature array. Two dual midrange balanced armatures cover vocals and instruments, while a dual ultra high frequency tweeter, modified from the well known SWFK design, extends the treble smoothly. The result is a seamless seven driver hybrid with a carefully managed crossover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound Character\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKiwi Ears tunes the Astral with a powerful 9dB sub-bass shelf that transitions into a flat, neutral midrange. A sculpted pinna gain peak at 2.8kHz gives vocals natural presence, and the treble rolls off uniformly toward 15kHz for an airy, spacious top end. It is a reference leaning signature with real low end weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuild and Comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact, ergonomically shaped earpieces detach via standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors. The stock 1.2m cable is modular, so you can swap between the included 3.5mm single ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs without buying a second cable. At 23 ohms and 105dB sensitivity, the Astral runs happily from a phone dongle or portable player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the Astral for stage monitoring, critical listening, and detail focused sessions where you still want sub-bass punch.
