Aether

Upgraded to the Aether from the FiiO FH3; clear with great planar bass thump, a little thin in mids.

Is disappointed with the Aether: restrained, and they rarely listen to it anymore.

Has the Aether; not their tuning, but spacious with standout detail for the price.

Tried the S12 Pro and Aether and kept the S12 Pro.

Bought the Aether among their first IEMs and shares first impressions.

Their Aether is sharp in R6 and hurts their ears from its size, but gives wallhacks.

Has the Aether but can't get it to stay in because of its weight.

Has both the S12 Ultra and Aether and prefers the Aether.

Still enraptured with the Aether after trying the Kiwi Septet.

The Aether sounds great but they can't get it to fit or stay in.

Finds the Aether good in staging but brighter and sharper than the Astralis.

Bought the Aether on Amazon after their review copy died, and it sounds even better than remembered.

Finds their Aether boring for FPS and music.

Of the single-driver planars they own or heard, the Aether is their favourite.

The Aether fits them like a glove and never needs adjusting.

Got the Aether as their first planar; warm yet detailed, coherent imaging beside UM Mest.

Has used the Aether since February and loves it, with TangZu Sancai tips.

With Dunu S&S tips the Aether has a larger soundstage than their Astral, great for immersion.

Just got the Aether and finds it sounds kinda cheap with little bass.

Loves the Aether from a Discman: details pop, insane imaging and soundstage.

Rates the Aether their first 10 out of 10; it fits them perfectly and is their main rotation.

Fixed the Aether's fit issues with Dunu S&S tips because of its big nozzle.

The Kiwi Ears Aether delivers effortless sub-bass.

Stopped using the Kiwi Ears Aether because no matter what they tried, they couldn't get them to fit.

The Kiwi Ears Aether surprised them with its soundstage compared to headphones.

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.”

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.”

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.”
