Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

Well, it pleases me to review another awesome product from Kiwi Ears, and it this time, it is some earbuds. The last time was some of those over-the-ear earmuff types, and I think it had Linsoul attached to it.

I have heard that the earbuds are made for the active sporting type, and I do admire that it is made with IP45 durability. Also, I like the way that they fit, with that wraparound look that is common for these earbuds for those that want to stay physically fit.

You might notice how the case has an open top, and there is some really cool features. For example, you can take clear calls with ENC technology, and smart charging. The sound is great for balanced audio and noticeable bass, and you can also do that cool thing of pausing and playing with a touch on the earbud.

Oh hey, and I just found out that there is a three-color LED display to check on battery levels. It really is something, and you can purchase it on the Kiwi Ears site for about $99.99.

Facts About The Company

I just went to the Kiwi Ears site, and this company has “a passion for providing our customers with extraordinary audio reproduction”. Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s in their mission statement that they want to use technology in order to really bring audio to life for their customers.

What Does This Company Make?

The obvious thing is headphones and earbuds, which keeps a lot of companies afloat, really. However, there is a lot of related audio equipment here, and there is a lot to see at all kinds of prices. Some are low-priced, but some are quite high-priced.
