Won a Kima 2 from Dunu and prefers it over their Cadenza 4 and Daybreak; a vocal champ with punchy, fast bass better than its graph suggests.

Owned the Kima 2 and prefers it to the Defiant for more natural, realistic instrument tonality.

Finds the Kima 2's nozzle comfort excellent but the treble too bright and fatiguing without EQ.

Got the Kima 2 and has been loving it on a JM45 dongle, with smoother vocals than any wireless buds they've tried.

Has found nothing in the Kima 2's price range that gets close to its sound without EQ.

The Kima 2 is their favourite IEM under about $500 and third of all time, with a beautiful, musical sound.

Finds the Kima 2 awesome: amazing vocals, no treble peaks, solid bass and neutral tonality with a hint of warmth, a steal at $100.

Really enjoys their Kima 2 for its detail retrieval, female vocals and instrument separation, plus generous accessories.

Owns the Kima 2 and Hype 4 MKII and finds the Kima 2 more relaxed and smooth, a nicely tuned neutral single DD.

Uses their Kima 2 more than the Aful Explorer for heavy metal, with Tri-Clarion tips for a better fit.

positive

Can't get a good fit with the small, flat Kima 2 shells with any tips, so isolation is bad.

Their Kima 2 is holding up fine long-term with no corrosion or condensation and no pressure build-up.

positive

Of all their IEMs, the Kima 2 gives the closest vibe to their HD600.

Loves how natural and balanced the Kima 2 sounds, especially vocals; kept listening for 27 tracks past bedtime.

Liked the Kima 2's vocals and warmth, but its left earpiece stopped working and it lacked detail and soundstage for them.

Finds the Kima 2 neutral-warm and very natural with excellent vocals and guitars, though not the best separation; superb unboxing for the price.

Needed EQ to make the Kima 2 sound clear and slightly prefers the Tanchjim Nora for fit.

After a couple of weeks, the Dunu KIMA 2 Raven Teal edition may be the IEM in its price bracket that handles heavy metal's guitars, vocals and bass.

positive

Loves the Dunu KIMA 2 Raven Teal: it fits their ears well and sounds great for the price.

positive

The Dunu KIMA 2 is their go-to and standard for vocals, though slightly bright for a basshead.

positive

A/B'd the Kima 2 with the Kefine Arnar: similar mids, the Kima 2 far more neutral to neutral-warm, both non-fatiguing.

positive

Got the Kima 2 on sale a couple of months ago; still in the honeymoon phase but finds it a better all-rounder than their Aful Explorer, warm-neutral.
