Discover Kiwi Ears Serene planar magnetic headphones co-created with Z Reviews: a fully closed, wired design with studio tuning, soundstage, and $159 price.
Kiwi Ears has introduced the new Serene Planar Magnetic headphones, created in collaboration with YouTube reviewer Z Reviews. The model uses a fully enclosed 72×89 mm planar magnetic driver, aimed at high‑resolution sound with notable speed and accuracy.
Serene blends a retro vibe with contemporary design and is pitched to a wide audience—ranging from audiophiles and musicians to gamers and DJs. The collaboration underscores Kiwi Ears’ focus on innovation and solid build quality, informed by Z Reviews’ experience with audio systems.
The headphones are tuned for a natural, studio‑oriented presentation without frequency coloration. Deep bass, a balanced midrange, and smooth treble deliver a detailed, agreeable sound. The planar driver creates a broad soundstage with precise spatial imaging.
Instead of merely sealing the ear cup, Serene employs a driver that is fully closed. This reduces internal wave reflections and boosts isolation, helping keep the signal clean even in noisy surroundings. The design choice reads as a careful push for clarity through acoustic control rather than brute force.
The build combines ultra‑light composite polymer and aluminum, paired with a soft headband and vegan‑leather earpads. Dual hinges let the cups conform to the shape of the head, supporting comfort during long listening sessions.
Serene is a fully wired model, delivering lossless sound without the compromises of Bluetooth. A detachable cable enables straightforward connections to DACs, amplifiers, or mobile devices—and leaves room for easy upgrades down the line.
The Kiwi Ears x Z Reviews: Serene headphones are available now on the official Kiwi Ears website and through partners worldwide. The recommended retail price is $159.
