Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss,
My favorite on Vocals for now,
Great clarity, good decay and the most important factor for my treble sensitive ears,
not sibilant....

Kinera Imperial Verdandi
​
•Before anything else I would like to thank Kinera Thomas, Kinera Michaelzhao , Jin Goh and Audio Geek for sending a unit of Kinera Imperial Verdandi to the Philippines..
​
•If you don't like reading long post and you can afford to buy this 1200 dollar IEM then, yes, it is worthy for it's price...
BUY IT!!!!
​
•Also, if you wanna hear my attempt to compare it to other IEMs then forgive me for not having any experience on other IEMs with the same price category... All I can say is base from my experience on other entry and mid level IEM.. So you can stop reading now...
​
•You're still here?
Okay,
​
•I will try to make it simple and concise on my impressions and just share my experience on why it is worthy..
​
•When I started in this Audiophile Hobby(Addiction).. It was like wanting to experience the difference of a cheap entry IEMs to those mid level IEMs and often times, I would be so disappointed and sell off the more expensive ones for sounding different or lacking something that those cheap IEMs has.. But when I found and heard a very great sounding mid level IEMs I was so happy and not bothered on how it is double or triple from the price of my entry level IEMs.... I agree that being different doesn't always mean you are special or you are useful. But we are talking about my experience and that is the same level of happiness I felt when I tried Kinera Imperial Verdandi... It was a feeling of I could sell all my IEMs and my Relatives for that amazing Verdandi.... I really felt I can live with a single IEM or what we Audiophiles call the END GAME(there is no end game).... Being a Bassist(bass guitar player) I categorize myself as a Basshead and what Verdandi had was not the quantity
of bass but the quality for giving that BRRRRRR BRRRRR sound that I wanted.. The bass notes are clear fast and has a good decay.. Anyway, if you are looking for a wild OP bass then this is not for you... ​
​
•Normally, I test IEMs on 3.5mm termination next is on 4.4mm then add DAC/Dongles... But with Verdandi I am surprised when I used it
on 3.5mm w/o gain it sounded amazing. I didn't find time to use a 4.4mm or add DAC/Dongles... I was more drowned on finding a song that Verdandi is not good at and there is none.. I Even finished watching a movie with it and despite having a big shell it was very comfortable for me.. You know that feeling when you close your eyes and listen to your favorite song you can feel that singer singing beside you.. That is what I felt.. It alters the song but in a very good way... On the 2nd day I used a 4.4mm termination and it sounded even better. On the 3rd day I used DAC and Dongles it has no issues with them I never felt any sibilance.. I can even listen to Lil Wayne's songs, without getting annoyed..
​
•I hope this was concise enough, if you have questions you can DM me on my personal account Maxy Oconer Meñez

Thank you for the time
