Ranked #20 of 115 in In-Ear Headphones - Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite: $249.00 Amazon AliExpress eBay
Pros: Bass and lower midrange land within about 0.2 dB of the Harman target from 60 Hz to 1 kHz, so vocals and instruments sound natural and unboosted. The response is smooth, with a deviation of only about 2 dB around the target and a preference score of 76. Eight balanced armature drivers and 112 dB sensitivity make it easy to drive from a phone or portable player, and it suits warm and bass leaning tastes.
Cons: Presence from 3 to 6 kHz runs about 5.6 dB under target, with a 6.7 dB dip near 3.6 kHz, so voices and guitars sound recessed and a little veiled. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is about 2.8 dB low, which softens cymbals and reduces sparkle. It is rated below the Etymotic EVO, and there is no built in microphone.

Ranked #37 of 115 in In-Ear Headphones - Kiwi Ears Orchestra AliExpress eBay
Pros: Eight balanced armatures per side earn a preference score of 72 in crinacle’s measurement. Across hobbyist measurements on squig.link the bass and lower midrange sit within 1 dB of target and the largest treble peak is only 2.4 dB, so the sound stays clean and free of harshness. At 17 ohms and 111 dB it plays loud from a phone or small dongle.
Cons: Presence sits 5.5 dB below target with a 6.7 dB dip near 5.3 kHz, which pushes vocals and guitar bite back and makes some recordings sound distant. Sub-bass runs 4.4 dB under target and is 5.3 dB down at 30 Hz, so the all armature design gives less deep rumble than a dynamic driver set. It is wired only.
