Kinera Dromi

Kinera Dromi IEM cable

These are my favourite cables, I have four of them on various IEM. I don’t hear changes in sound with cables but the Dromi certainly didn’t do anything to hurt the sound quality of any of the IEM. The Dromi looks beautiful, functions and handles perfectly and the ear hooks are nice and supple so are very comfortable. The pins are as strong as any other cable and don’t bend in normal use. The twist can loosen very slightly over time, especially if handled roughly but it is very easy to fix that. Just hold one end of the cable and turn the other to tighten the twist and heat the whole length of the cable with a hairdryer then allow it to cool while holding the twist. I did that with one of my four Dromi’s, it is very easy and very effective.

quality does not match price

The braid is inconsistent throughout and there are some very bent sections that retain the kinks it shipped with. It is even coming untwisted somewhat in some sections. Overall the comfort, aesthetics, and sound of this cable are great, but was ruined for me by the poor quality control when considering this premium price. I've had many sub $20 cables come that were made better than this. Disappointed. I honestly should have returned it but I didn't want to deal with the process and figured they'd tell me nothing was actually wrong with it. Rum cable on the other hand was top notch.

Terrible cable wit fragile pins

One of the left side pins bent after first use with my ThieAudio Monarch making the left side unusable, no sound reached the left IEM. Terrible quality. Never had any issues with any of the other cables, even my budget cables. I will never purchase an upgrade cable ever again and, of course, I will never purchase a Kinera product ever again either.
