Product Information

Let’s put it this way, you shouldn’t be distracted by the DKC’s inability to establish distinctions between instruments and voices during casual listening, especially in any track that isn’t littered with a garbage heap of congestion. Sound Impressions​Note: I just want to preface the sound portion of this review by informing you that I did burn the DKC in for roughly 50 hours before any critical listening was completed. I would probably refer to both sets as smooth and even safe in tuning while the DKC is a little bit more energetic, and the Galileo is a little more laid back. That being said, the mid-bass does color the lower-mids a bit and certainly more so than the OG Kima.

I will add that the shape may cause some fit issues, or better said; the shell shaping may cause some fiddling around to get a seal. The Galileo is actually a bit duller and more laid back with a tamed treble experience in comparison. Males come across less vibrant and not as hard edged, in that I don’t hear that hard lined attack to a male voice. In terms of technical specifications, Kima has an impedance of 32 ohms, a frequency response of 5 Hz to 40 kHz, a sensitivity of 108 dB, and a total harmonic distortion of less than 0. Instead of every note sounding like they all come from a flat plane just behind the middle of my eyes, certain notes of the Kima come from deeper within, more from the center of my head.This is a common trait that I’ve noticed in many of these Aria-like single DD IEMs except for the Tin HiFi T4 Plus that I recently reviewed. The upper treble is hence relatively smooth, with not much splashiness in cymbals and high-hats, but as a result, the Kima Classic isn't the most airy set. They walk that middle line of just bright enough to sound reasonably crisp and lively without extending particularly high into the airier registers.

Yes, the DKC naturally scales to the quality of the source and with a hint more power, but I don’t think it is entirely necessary.A peak at about 8 – 10 kHz is likely an artifact of the measurement rig and may not exist as depicted here. I adored the build and shape, the style and the durability of the Dunu Kima and so it’s no wonder that I especially enjoy the DKC’s stylistic build due to the new coffee-gray colorway (I’ll cover that in the next section). The Galileo comes equipped with a hybrid setup; one 10mm liquid silicone DD and a 2389 Sonion Balanced Armature.

Classic New Color Scheme:-​While retaining the praised look of the OG Kima, the new Kima Classic has a new color scheme for its shells. I will say that you won’t come across any glare at all, nor will you hear any sibilance or peakiness.The underbelly on the Shells have very cool looking raised surfaces leading up to the nozzles, obviously built around the Internals that are housed inside. Still, the DKC has more oomph than the OG Kima with very nice timbre in this region that comes across as warm and natural sounding.

use not following the ‘User Guide’ or any additional safety, use, or warnings included in the product materials. I’ve already said all of this, but the sound comes across as a nicely done “slight” V-shape with a stirring musicality, an ardent and subtly emphatic auditory expression which carries nice macro-dynamics and a nicely detailed treble region too. Resolution is nice for a V-shape, but isn’t perfect, and this can cause a few minor clarity issues as far as instrumentation is concerned.Indeed, the OG Kima was slated for being too safe, and the Kima Classic now brings a deeper sub-bass rumble and a more pronounced treble to the table. They house a 10mm dynamic driver that features the latest-generation Diamond-Like Carbon(DLC) diaphragm producing unmatched sound performance. The Kima are rated at 32 ohms impedance and 108 dB sensitivity, making them easy to drive from most portable sources. The color of the orange zippered case is eye-catching but doesn’t particularly match the IEMs or package design style. Elle Goulding‘s beautiful rendition of “ How Long Will I Love You” is so sweetly shimmery with a softness that somehow is resounding.
