The Aether was their first planar: very crisp and detailed, but boring for gaming, Discord and casual music, so they want something more fun.
“The kiwi ears aether was my first, the detail and sound was so crisp but was boring to use. I like a little more fun in the sound.”
Bought the Aether to upgrade from an Artti T10 they had loved for a year and was underwhelmed: much better build, but no worthwhile improvement in sound, so they returned it and kept the T10.
“I was... underwhelmed. Build quality is much better (the T10 is made of Earth's cheapest plastic) but there was no worthwhile upgrade in sound for me.”
Rates the Aether considerably above the Artti T10, calls it one of their favourite IEMs at any price for a balanced tuning, and fantastic for gaming.
“I personally think they are considerably better than the T10. If you want a more balanced tuning, the Aether is one of my favorite IEMs regardless of price. They are fantastic for gaming too.”
