Kiwi Ears Astral

€319,00

Energetic & Technical

The Kiwi Ears Astral is made for hearing exactly where things are: every footstep and reload has its own place around you, and voices come through forward and clean. The bass rumbles deep when a track asks for it but doesn't hit hard, so the overall sound is bright, open and detailed rather than warm. The top end can feel hot at high volume, and the shell is chunky, so try a few tip sizes to get a good seal.

What we hear

Natural Bass
Bass is there when the music asks for it, never more.
Neutral Tone
Close to how the recording was made, without adding colour.
Forward Vocals
Voices come close and clear, as if the singer is right in front of you.
Bright and airy Treble
The top end is bright and open, with lots of detail and air. If sharp S sounds tire you, a softer set will suit you better.
Wide Soundstage
Music spreads past your ears, with room between the instruments.

What others ask  about Kiwi Ears Astral

Is the bass on the Kiwi Ears Astral sub-bass focused or mid-bass punchy?

Deep and tight, not heavy. The Kiwi Ears Astral has a sub-bass lift, so low rumble and explosions have real depth, but the mid-bass punch is held back. Kick drums sound clean rather than big.

How do vocals sound on the Kiwi Ears Astral?

Forward and clear. Voices on the Kiwi Ears Astral sit close to you, which helps with dialogue and voice chat as much as with singers. On some tracks at higher volume they can sound a little thin.

Is the treble on the Kiwi Ears Astral smooth, sparkly or sharp?

Bright and airy. The Kiwi Ears Astral has a lot of energy up top, which brings out detail and space, but at higher volume or on bright recordings it can feel hot. Sharp S sounds are usually kept under control.

Is the Kiwi Ears Astral fatiguing over long sessions?

It can be, at high volume. The bright top end of the Kiwi Ears Astral is where its detail comes from, so treble-sensitive listeners may want breaks on long sessions. At moderate volume most people are fine for hours.

Is the soundstage of the Kiwi Ears Astral intimate or wide?

Wide, with very precise placement. The Kiwi Ears Astral spreads sound wide and makes it easy to point at where a sound comes from, which is why gamers like it so much. Depth, from front to back, is average.

Does the Kiwi Ears Astral fit smaller ears?

It can be a challenge. The Kiwi Ears Astral has a chunky shell and a short nozzle, so small ears may feel pressure points. Trying different tip sizes makes a big difference to the seal and to the bass.
