Kiwi Ears Cadenza II on this page is Lavender Blue, with a 3.5 mm cable or a USB-C cable. Each shell has one 10 mm dynamic driver and a PET diaphragm with a titanium coating. Kiwi Ears tunes it with KARS 2.0: a sub-bass shelf of about 8 dB that rolls off near 200 Hz, and a low-mid rise around 300-400 Hz.

Published figures are 18 ohm ±1, 106 ±1 dB at 1 kHz, THD under 1% at 1 kHz, channel difference under 1.5 dB at 1 kHz, and 10 Hz - 29 kHz. Rated power is 5 mW.
