Kiwi Ears Aether: Redefining IEM Performance With the Largest Planar Driver

At the heart of the Aether is Kiwi Ears' largest planar driver yet, featuring a 15.3 mm diaphragm powered by multi-layered N52 neodymium magnets. This advanced driver technology provides a headphone-like listening experience, offering enhanced output and dramatically reduced distortion compared to typical 12 mm or 14 mm planar drivers. The result is superior audio quality with exceptional resolution, a wider soundstage, and precise imaging. With its newly designed chamber and improved ventilation, the Aether recreates the lifelike, open sound signature of open-back headphones, making it the perfect choice for both audiophiles and professionals seeking true-to-life audio reproduction.

Tonal Integrity
Tonal integrity is a key feature in engineering the Aether. Staying true to Kiwi Ears' signature tonal balance, t he Aether has been meticulously crafted to deliver natural and precise sound. The bass is focused, with sub-woofer-like slam and a smooth transition from mid-bass to mids, providing slight warmth to the body of the sound. The core midrange, from 300 to 800 Hz, remains flat, ensuring monitor-like accuracy for both instruments and vocals. The treble is painstakingly tuned to carefully match the tonal perception of the human ear and give a clear, yet natural upper frequency response.
A Sound for Professionals
With the planar magnetic driver's exceptional performance in speed, responsiveness, imaging, and soundstage, as well as its balanced tonal signature, the Aether is designed for professionals who seek accuracy and precision in their sound. It's also ideal for gamers and music enthusiasts seeking an immersive, engaging listening experience.

Detachable Cable System
The Aether comes standard with a detachable 2-pin 0.78 mm connector system. This modular design allows the IEMs to be swapped with other cables with the same connectors, extending the IEM's longevity as well as allowing customization in the user experience.
