HYBRID DRIVER ARRAY WITH A BALANCED ARMATURE DRIVER AND TWO DYNAMIC DRIVER

Kiwi Ears has equipped the Forteza with a hybrid driver configuration of a balanced armature driver and two dynamic drivers. The balanced-armature driver is paired with a 10mm dynamic driver and a 6mm dynamic driver. The 10 mm mid-range dynamic driver aims to provide an excellent bass response with its intricate diaphragm composition while the 6mm low-mid dynamic driver provides a textured low-frequency range. The single-balanced armature driver excels in SPL to THD ratios across its frequency range with better tonal characteristics. This driver combination aims to provide a sensitivity range of 1KHz, frequency response of 20Hz to 20KHz, and impedance of 32Ω. Kiwi Ears' strategy to utilize two dynamic drivers combined with a balanced armature driver aims to deliver an improved sound texture and smooth timbre in your music listening experience.

FEATURES IN-HOUSE DRIVERS TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY SOUND WITHOUT DISTORTION

The Forteza incorporates in-house drivers meticulously tested by Kiwi Ears to deliver top-notch sound quality. Leveraging successful drivers from our previous models, the synergy of these components ensures maximization of both efficiency and audio quality. Notably, the composite 10mm dynamic driver system, renowned for its intricate diaphragm composition and driver size, enhances bass response significantly. The incorporation of an additional 10mm low-mid dynamic driver further enriches the low-frequency range, providing textured sound with excellent imaging capabilities. Furthermore, our single balanced armature (BA) driver has undergone rigorous testing, excelling in signal-to-noise ratio (SPL to THD) across its frequency range while maintaining exceptional tonal characteristics. By utilizing our in-house drivers, we guarantee optimal technical and tonal performance through direct implementation.

METICULOUSLY TUNED THREE-WAY CROSSOVER CIRCUIT FOR RICH SOUND DELIVERY

The Forteza features a three-way passive crossover circuit design tuned to deliver rich sound signatures. This design works in coexistence with the drivers to produce better and more impactful bass response. The production of bass sounds more textured and rumbly, which lets you experience the exceptional bass guitar notes. The mids are tuned to deliver a warmer sound, providing a denser sound of vocals and instruments. These characteristics make the Forteza excellent for audiophiles who want to enjoy a fuller sound rather than a flat and balanced sound signature. The treble response matches the lows and mids to control dull or dark signature sound. The treble response closely matches target preference curvatures, with crisp articulations and micro detail recovery. The Kiwi Ears Forteza aims to provide you with an elevated listening experience with this circuit design.

So Pretty and Fun IEM [with foam ear-tips]

This is undoubtedly one of the prettiest IEM available in market right now. But for IEMs what really matters is sound; appearance and build quality comes next.

Lets dial in about sound..
Before buying, if you search for its reviews online (YouTube, reddit, audiophile forums); you will come to know that this IEM is not really recommended by most of the reviewers; their impressions/reviews are mostly negative about it.

Since we all perceive/hear [same music/sound] differently and have our own preferred sound signatures; reviewers' opinions do not matter until we can hear it for ourselves and decide if an IEM sounds right or not.

Online, there is zero option to try and buy any IEM.
We have to decide based on popular audiophile reviewers' opinions on IEMs; that is what makes them influencers.

I have seen/read those reviews but I cannot agree or disagree with them because I haven't heard Forteza in person to decide anything right or wrong about it.

What I was looking for is, Forteza sound demo over YouTube and found one by Linsoul [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPrj61AtmhM ]. It was a sound comparison; and I liked the Forteza sound signature. Based on that.. I decided to buy it.

Now, that I have heard it in person; I can tell.. it sounded really bad [too much treble, unsatisfactory bass, muddy/not-detailed sound signature] with stock silicone ear-tips. I was disappointed.

Then, I decided to listen to it with my KZ foam tips and realized what I was missing. Well, this is not at all a natural/flat sounding IEM. It has V-shaped sound signature with punchy deep bass [only with foam tips of course]. EDMs are so much fun with this IEM.

So contrary to being so unpopular among audiophile influencers; I like Forteza for what it is made for, fun detailed sound signature with punchy bass.
