I own them for about a week. Probably, these are the best $100 IEM - they are not overdetailed, they have airy, but not metallic highs, a nice amount of well-controlled bass, and enough mids so they still sound great when you listen to metal or instumental music, where mids play a VERY important role for most of listeners. The upper mids are amazing - male and female vocals sound so natural that you almost believe this sound. The separation is also fantastic, maybe even better than in Sound Rhyme SR5. Orchestral music sounds fascinating! IMO these earphones are one of the most underrated of all time. To me they sound more detailed, natural and engaging than 7Hz Timeless, and probably even better than Sennheiser IE 200 (or even 600). You should just try to use Comply Foam (if you don't like crispy highs) or any other long and soft tips and put them very, I mean, VERY deep into your ear, and Kima Classic will give you a very deep soundstage, almost perfect separation, great bass, mids and highs resolution and unforgettable engagement. They are "Jack of all trades" - you can listen to every genre of music you like, and they will sound amazing :)
For comparisons I like to see both price and driver configuration. However I'd primarily focus on price because that's most relevant when shopping with a budget. But if you have the ability to compare driver configuration, that too can be helpful. I've changed my budget after seeing other options in different price categories.
I think classic reviews are a great idea, and as far as i know no other reviewer is doing it, get something like the kanas pro and compare it with a modern iem costing the same, it gives us an idea on how much sound quality has improved or maybe it hasnt ? Good sound quality never ages imo only new driver technology can improve the sound, i bought some tansio mirai land iems for a very good price used and even though they they are 3 years old they sound absolutley incredible
Do you still have Openaudio Witch Pro? I wonder how do they compare and which one would be better for modern jpop (boosted bass, electronic, female vocals). As for comparisions in your reviews in general I like to know what are alternatives with similar sound signature in similar price bracket regardless driver setup, also possible upgrades and downgrades and what you gain/lose picking them.
@@PrimeAudioReviewsThanks, I keep telling myself I want some spicy tunings only to end up cursing at first sign of sibilance :D I've been eyeing Witch since summer sales but I think I will pass (still tempted though).
@@PrimeAudioReviews can u explain in more specific? Cuz i have tried the OG kima but already sell it because it lack some at low section.. They said kima classic already solved it, but i saw the galileo offered almost same graph eq so im confused which is better... In terms of unboxing and accessories i will go for kima
@yuumagamexd545 yeah, Kima Classic addresses the lows a bit but it's still kinda tame. I'd suggest spending a little extra for KEFINE Klanar or go for something like the Aoshida E20.
I have hearing damage from my time in the service, i have always loved mysic and am a music enthusiast but i am a novice in regards to audio equipment, are there any tips , trick or tech that i might try to get a more enjoyable experience, i use headphones ath msr7 but would like to try iems any suggestions? Thank you in advance, ps i have trouble with higher frequencies.
Please keep doing comparisons regardless of driver configuration and focus on price. This is what matters more imo.
Appreciate that. Thank you.

Thanks for another great review. Personally for me, comparing IEMs on the same price range is better, just to see which one is worth it.
Thank you for the feedback.

Was on the Guitarsummit a few days ago, it was amazing! They also had some IEMs there on the convention

I still have Witch Pro but I find the treble too sharp. I think the Truthear HEXA, Simgot EA500 and QoA Vesper 2 are all better choices.

Kima classic or Galileo?
Current IEM is T3+ and i want to upgrade. What is best pick?
Kima Classic is better imo. You should also consider the Simgot EA500 and Kefine Klanar.
Compared to galileo which is better ? Both already in my cart but i dont which one is better
I would choose these over Galileo.

When you say trouble with higher frequencies do you mean your sensitive to them or you have trouble hearing high frequencies?
kima classic or em6l?
My pick would be Kima Classic.
