The bass is strongly boosted, which can be further increased with foamtips. Although it has the highest output in the signature, it does not completely overshadow the signature. It has quite good stability and is simply fun. The sub-bass has real fire and the mid-bass a dynamic punch. It extends a bit further when it wants to slam and is therefore not the fastest, but quite organic. I would like the upper bass to drop faster to provide more clarity in the midrange, but you can't have everything. In the long run it's too much for me, but for in between it's a great fun. Prices are at MSRP in USD. Prices not directly available in USD are based off the exchange rate during the time of writing. However, when the singer starts singing higher notes, the KS2 don't translate that energy as well, it sounds restrained. On the inner side of the shell there is a single small vent. The nozzle is aluminium and has a good ridge which holds eartips securely in place. As is usually the case, there’s also a protective metal mesh covering the nozzle opening.
Driver coherency performs decently for a hybrid that they sound well-balanced without being uneven phasing and imbalance sounding. When comes to the timbre, it has bright and has “BA” tonality due to sounds metallic. Mids Unrecessed, they sound much better on their higher side than on their lows. Classical guitars, for example, come accross just great.DISCLAIMER- I ain’t a reviewer or an audiophile , just an music lover !! I wasn’t sent a sample of Believe, I paid for it – then sold it later on for buying something else and regretted it since it went out of production Bass: The bass has good impact, depth and rumble. At times, I feel that it tends to over power the mid and high frequencies occasionally. If you are a bass head lover on a tight budget, you can must definitely try this out. The entry level CVJ is not a bad product in itself, either. Providing a “more energetic” sound akin to ChiFi of old, the top end does get tiresome at higher volume to me, but there is a certain good quality about the mids and vocals, which can keep you engaged. For me though, that mellow full, warmer tonality of the KS2 wins out. That flavor is more in my taste anyway. One of the most generous audio companies on putting up a substantial amount of included accessories.
Treble: highs have some good extension without being harsh or causing fatigue, this is pleasant and lively and the KS2 is smooth in its presentation From low to high. Conclusion: This IEM was not a bad attempt by KBEAR but I also wouldn't say its the best. Still, the KS2 is a great IEM in its price range. If you have spare cash lying around on the floor, you should try to get you hands on it. The bass shelf here is definitely boosted. It is fun and full-bodied, and also quite deep and dark kind of bass, and the sub-bass did extend quite low too. Rosefinch could be a good head banging set for bass lovers, so bass allergic users should really look elsewhere. Despite being boosted in bass, the bass quality is surprisingly good as it is tight and decently speedy, which does not muffled up mids that much, however, the warmth from mid-bass did bleed into mids. The bass guitar here is really emotional. The bass lines are easily heard and very profound, just like listening to live band at small venue. Rosefinch will actually be a good set for bass guitar monitoring. If the listener wanting to try out the feeling of being soothed up by bass frequencies, Rosefinch will really bring such pleasure, as the bass reverbs are really good for a slow romantic jazz music enjoying. The comfort feels alright for an earbud, and I do not get any irritations from the housing of the earbuds as I prefer to use the earbuds as is without the foam covers. The edges are all smooth and feels comfortable on my ears. I remember using the VE Monks and feeling rather annoyed with it as the edges of the plastic kept poking against my ears. I threw almost every song from Boyz II Men's Platinum Collection on it and it reproduced it really well. Vocals were clear, coupled with the bass of the song, it provides quite a depth to the song which is surprising for an earphone of this price range. I really enjoyed listening to RnB on these pair of earphones!Warm, slight-v-shaped sound signature. Smooth overall presentation without any hints or instances of fatigue. Conclusion: The KBEAR KS2 is a solid performer with much to love considering its very low price. If you want powerful bass , decent mids with that sparkle in the highs that performs politely and smooth this might be for you. I might get the instruments name wrong but I have heard a lot of them during the college and school days but never bothered to get their names I just loved listening to them! The shell is made of a polycarbonate material, with no obvious flaws like some in this range (and above unfortunately), and I would call this appropriate for the price. Another nice touch is the aluminum alloy nozzle attached to the shell (making 3 parts total). An unexpected treat, the nozzle is on the longer and wider side, which KBear says makes the IEM last longer. I’m not sure how that would work, but.
Treble are smooth it does have some sparkle but the lower treble seems to be a bit dull to be fair this is probably the weak point of the stellar but at this price this is probably negligible for the sound signature it gives. I will keep the soundstage and imaging brief here as I would like to compare it to other earbuds in the similar price range.Treble: is smooth like butter , it's not harsh or thin but nice and warm. It's not super detailed but not missing anything in the treble frequency. Overall, bass quality is decent enough that some ardent bassheads will probably accept the Lark's bass as sufficient and satisfying. Now we have come to the main highlight of the KS2, its bass. The bass is the main focus of the earphone and it has a very rumbly bass due to its strong midbass impact. Bass is particularly enjoyable on these unit though it doesn't have a very deep extension. Now with Kbear Believe , the bass extension is there but not much profound but it ain’t much clear too with my LG G8X.. Important: There have been reported units that heavily distort at higher volumes. I only get them when I turn on Replay Gain on Poweramp at 16 dB, 70/100 volume (Reno 4). But I don’t listen at that loudness and even when I max out the volume on my iPhone 5s, I don’t get any distortion. Maybe a bit, but barely noticeable.
I LOVE where the mic is positioned (at splitter). Very easy to reach and ergonomic to use. All buttons work on Android and iOS, but not on my Windows laptop or Macbook Pro. I don’t know if this is caused by a setting on my laptops. There is definitely no isolation with earbuds as is common with earbuds so there is not much to say about this. I did not get any 3D imaging from these earphones, mostly just sounds from either the left or right earphones. The mid-bass and sub-bass are fairly linear which ultimately puts the emphasis on the sub-bass. You can get a nice rumble out of these on certain songs, like in Rhythm & Sound’s “No Partial”, where the KS2 delivers some thunderous bass. KB EAR's Stellar is well built, has a nice cable, offers a quality tune with decent technical ability, and costs next to nothing. Fans of a barren unboxing experience will be satisfied. Those hunting for a bargain will be satisfied. Someone looking for a cheap daily driver that sounds good and they don't have to worry about will be satisfied. The Stellar is everything good about portable audio, just like the VE Monk before it, and everyone should have one.
Having on dynamic driver (10mm) and one balanced armature along with 16Ohm impedance and 106dB sensitivity makes the KS2 easier to drive than some of its rivals. I can confer with those findings as the KS2 does seem easy to drive. Since this is designed to be used as a Smartphone replacement headphone, that only makes sense. And it works out that way. I have to admit that I had a little trouble with KS2 in the beginning. I hadn't had such a pronounced V-signature in my ears for a long time and therefore it seemed a bit overloaded in the bass and treble range at first. Nevertheless, the fun factor was already there at the beginning and even if I sometimes have to overcome my inner person, I want to give every IEM a fair chance, especially if I want to review it. With the KS2 this was definitely worth it, even though I do experience signs of fatigue in daily use, be it the massive bass or the sometimes slightly sibilant trebles. Before I begin, I shall copy and paste the disclaimer that has been on the Ranking List since its very inception.
Great Deal
