Audio46's Opinion
The Loki sports a bone conduction driver similar to the one in the Legend Evo, though to somewhat more subtle effect. It's worth noting that the Loki is about as intense in its uppermost frequencies as it is in its lowest. So while it may not be for the bass heads who are also sensitive to treble, it's perfect for anyone looking for a thoroughly intense and a detail-laden listen.

Effect Audio Cable
Effect Audio UP-OCC Pure Copper Cable has a sound signature that is rich in elastic low frequencies and warm vocals, making it suitable for listening to rock, pop, and country music genres. Copper is a widely used metal material in headphone cables, and copper wire typically enhances the headphone’s atmosphere and low-frequency response. Copper wire has good low-frequency extension and quantity. In different processes and applications of UP-OCC high-purity copper wire, it is particularly renowned for its rich atmosphere and has excellent adaptability for many types of headphones. It has the effect of smoothing out sound harshness and enhancing musicality.

Technical Specification
Volcanic Eruption
Loki, the god of fire, has extraordinary strength due to his noble birth, and his mischievous character makes him a challenger to order, indirectly leading to the creation of “Ragnarok.”
Kinera’s designer uses fiery red lava to symbolize Loki, possessing the power of fire. The blue color symbolizes the surface of the earth. When Loki engages in mischief, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, the earth’s crust cracks, and the hot magma flows and churns along the surface, shocking the energy of Asgard and heralding the arrival of a new era of world renewal.
Tuning Philosophy
Balanced atmospheric sound style, with slightly prominent mid-range (vocals), solid and stable bass, abundant energy, detailed and delicate high-end, and a tidy soundstage. Suitable for pop, jazz, and small ensemble recordings.
Sound Characteristics
A flagship quadbrid driver In-Ear Monitors with outstanding detail performance that combines the characteristics of multiple acoustic drivers. It has good elasticity and clear, deep bass. The mid-range (vocals) has a strong sense of density and distinct layers and the high-end is transparent, delicate, and well-extended, with delicate and rich overtones thanks to the electrostatic unit. The ultra-wide frequency response brings an expansive, transparent soundstage space.
1DD for Bass and Sub-bass
One 6mm dynamic driver is responsible for the low-frequency range. Kinera’s custom-made 6mm liquid diaphragm dynamic driver has excellent acoustic performance. Combined with a reasonable acoustic structure design, it can deliver a very relaxed, natural low-frequency performance that is full and elastic.
4 Knowles Mid Range BA + 2 Knowles Treble BA
Six Knowles balanced armatures include four mid-range and two high-frequency drivers. Custom-tuned by Kinera, these Knowles balanced armatures are responsible for Loki’s mid-range, with two additional Knowles balanced armatures connecting the mid and high frequencies via clever electronic and physical crossovers. Through fine tuning, they can handle both the natural low-frequency performance of the dynamic driver and the high-frequency advantage unique to electrostatic drivers, achieving a seamless integration of high, mid and low frequencies.
4 Sonion EST Drives for Ultra High Frequency and Airiness
Four electrostatic drivers are responsible for the ultra-high frequencies. One Sonion electrostatic driver works with four others to deliver Loki’s ultra-high frequency range, utilizing the wider frequency range, better transient response, stronger detail performance, and brighter yet still smooth sound characteristics of electrostatic drivers to interpret Loki’s sound. This results in extremely low distortion and a more realistic sound, bringing a bright and warm auditory experience.
1 Bone Conduction Driver
One bone conduction driver uses a contact-type bone conduction unit. Kinera’s custom-made contact-type bone conduction unit works in tandem with the low-frequency dynamic driver, providing a deeper, ultra-low-frequency performance with a unique bass presentation, forming an almost bottomless dive.
