Well-known amongst audio enthusiasts, overseas brand KBEAR (KB EAR) has officially stepped into India by launching 5 new audiophile-grade IEMs, including one from its sub-brand ‘TRI’. The five new IEMs – KBEAR KS2, Lark, Believe, Diamond and TRI Starsea will be exclusively available on The Audio Store. The IEMs sport unique, yet comfortable designs, with modular cables, all made using high-grade materials housing professionally-tuned drivers for a superior audio delivery.
KBEAR Believe IEM
The KBEAR Believe uses Japanese-imported pure beryllium diaphragms. These are lighter, more rigid, and feature a superior performance over common diaphragms such as titanium crystal, nanometer, polymer, and others. The 9mm drivers use N52 neodymium iron boron strong magnets with up to 92.8% increased magnetic flux that helps for a stronger dynamic response, better transient performance, and easier driving. The diaphragms require extremely high front and rear chamber pressures and Believe uses precisely calculated and adjusted balanced pressure chambers ensuring natural and flexible audio without any distortion.
The KBEAR Believe is carefully crafted using an aerospace-grade high-strength aluminium alloy chamber to effectively suppress resonance, enhance sound cohesion. The resin-coated shell uses volcanic ash carbon fibre with rich texture and layering makes these IEMs shine with richness. Lastly, the IEM is equipped with four strands of 40-core 6N Furukawa single crystal copper Litz structure detachable 2-pin cable (without Mic) with a Gold-plated 3.5mm audio jack to effectively improve the sound purity for a comprehensive improvement.

KBEAR Diamond IEM
The KBEAR Diamond professional IEM uses an innovative high-speed DLC (diamond-like carbon) coated 9mm dynamic driver inside a premium AL alloy housing with a carbon fibre faceplate. DLC is highly appreciated in the earphone industry due to its features such as high hardness, high elastic modulus, low friction factor, wear resistance and good vacuum friction characteristics. These drivers are special and achieve excellent fidelity, frequency characteristics and low distortion featuring high speed, organic tone, and an exquisite resolution. Complimenting the DLC drivers are its detachable 1.2-metre (2-pin, 0.75mm, 5N) 8-core silver plated high-quality soft and supple curl-free cable (without Mic) offering low impedance braided.

Using a single Balanced Armature (BA) and 10mm Composite Diaphragm (PU+biological diaphragm) Dynamic Driver (DD), the KBEAR KS2 manages to deliver a powerful low-frequency response and transparent and mellow midrange performance creating a wide sound field and shocking sound quality. This BA-DD combination using electronic frequency division processing gives full play to its performance to achieve an accurate and delicate performance. Specially customised moving iron units effectively help to improve the vocal resolution and the mid-frequency density is perfectly balanced for a mellow sound. Additionally, the high-frequency is very transparent and smooth, thus delivering richer instrument details.
Using an imported high-density PC material for its internal shell, the KBEAR KS2 suppresses and diffuses the reflection of sound waves so that the overall sound is more warm and charming. The exterior is crafted using a translucent resin material for added beauty. Lastly, the 2-pin 4-strand (0.78mm, 6N OFC) high-quality cable (with Mic, L-curve Gold-plated 3.5mm jack) not only adds to the audio quality but also helps reduce signal transmission loss.
