Chinese Brands - IEMs Discussion

[generic]

In general, I found the Moondrop Kanas Pro to be an extremely welcoming IEM at its price range. I think it has a very engaging and enjoyable sound signature that can appeal to many users and genres. It’s not for the bassheads out there, but for someone who wants a neutral-warm sound signature that you can listen for hours on end without fatigue, but still have enough detail to catch little things here and there, this is a great IEM to check out.

The build is exceptional and attractive, and the only major flaws with the overall presentation is the lack of accessories, which is typically more plentiful at this price point, when looking at its competition. However, these small things may not be that big of a deal – I, for one, hardly ever use the tips that come with any product and perhaps only use the included carrying cases half the time anyway. The cable that the Kanas Pro comes with is quite nice and that’s a standout in the package.

So again, this is a recommended pick for me without hesitation, as it’s quickly becoming my go-to IEM over my much more expensive ones I own, including my Custom Unique Melody ME1 IEM.

I recently picked up the Kanas Pro from Massdrop at $155. These are the first IEMs I’ve tried where a balanced system made a useful difference. With balanced the bass goes up and the details improve. And no matter the amp, these are indeed among the smoothest and least fatiguing items that I own.

My conclusion is that the Kanas Pro share the strengths and weaknesses of other dynamic driver products, and respond to source and signal chain changes much like the Focal Elex (but they are plainly not as technical).
