Kinera Idun Golden (Idun 2.0) Review 2 – Snarky (But Brief) Second Opinion
Durwood nailed the essence of these as midrange centric, with “small bookshelf” bass which serves only not to detract from the higher frequencies. They are certainly lovely to look at, and do well with the technicalities, in the sense of having quick transients, good imaging and coherence and a very detailed, highly resolving treble.
However, I don’t like them nearly as much as Durwood—the barely-there low end makes these sound clinical and incomplete, like studio monitors in need of a sub, and the high end can get hot and metallic-sounding at louder volumes.
In the same price bracket, single DD offerings from Ikko or Moondrop provide a much fuller, more rockin’ take, albeit at the expense of some high-level nuance, while the hybrid Shozy Rouge matches or surpasses the Idun’s high end reproduction without sacrificing the bottom octaves.
Which is not to say that these will not appeal to the bass-averse trebleheads among us, but to my ears the lack of thump and somewhat artificial tonality keep me from recommending.
