INTRODUCTION

    Although for the most part I test headsets and headphones when at the office or at home the exact opposite applies for earphones (in-ear monitors/IEMs) which I usually test when I'm either on foot or using public transportation. As a matter of fact, I actively look for such models when I know I'll be soon going someplace without my car and well thanks to the holiday season there were plenty such opportunities in December. The very first in-ear monitor model I had the chance to test was the Orchestra Lite manufactured by one of the relatively new players around, Kiwi Ears.

    At Kiwi Ears, we have a passion for providing our customers with extraordinary audio reproduction. We understand that musicians and studio engineers need the best In-Ear Monitors to ensure that their music and performance is perfect. Our team of dedicated engineers handcraft each unit to make sure that our customers can be confident in what they are listening to. We believe that our products are the key to unlocking the full potential of the music they create.

    The Orchestra Lite IEM is currently available in 5 colors (Clear, Blue, Green, Yellow and Purple - custom design also available by paying extra) and as the name clearly states it's a cut-down version of the award winning Orchestra IEM released back in 2021. Aside the  high-quality medical-grade transparent resin used for the enclosures what mostly stands out about the Orchestra Lite is the 8 Balanced Armatures per earpiece (2 ultra tweeters for highs, 4 mid-range drivers for mids and 2 Knowles subwoofers for lows) with the 3-way passive crossover a combination which delivers in a frequency response of 20Hz-20Khz with 16Ohm impedance, 0.3% total harmonic distortion (THD) and 112dB sensitivity. Kiwi Ears also bundles a 2-pin removable 4-core oxygen free copper cable with the Orchestra Lite, compact hard carrying/storage case and 9 sets of silicon tips for all ear sizes (s/m/l). This is the very first earphone I've received from Kiwi Ears so let's not waste any more time on the intro page.
