New Head-Fier
For Kinera Celest Plutus Beast in In-Ear
Pros: - Bass quality and quantity are presented very well along with the "rumble" from the bone conductor.
- Beautiful IEM design and more than enough accessories in the box for its price range.
- Suitable for bass enthusiasts.
- Suitable for people sensitive to treble.
- Excellent soundstage and clarity in its price range.
- Suitable for EDM, rock, and pop songs.
Cons: - Need to find suitable eartips for a better fit.
- Midrange is slightly shouty, especially in female vocals, and dry in male vocals for some songs.
- Upper treble power is very minimal, so it is overshadowed by bass power.
- Not for treble enthusiasts.
- Not for acoustic, jazz, and vocal-centric songs.
For those who have been in this hobby for a long time, they must be familiar with the Kinera brand. Yes, this is the brand that is easily noticed because almost all of its IEM faceplates...

great review! picked up this set at CanJam Singapore over the weekend. great sound, very lively!! not a fan of the cable's tho, flat cables are a pain in the ass to roll up nicely, already ordered cable's from Null Audio to replace the stock ones..

also, there's a fair bit of background hiss.. it's very prominent on my C7 and RS6 when there isn't any music playing... doesn't really bother me when the music is playing as long as I don't think about it.. it's near silent on my M17, very very faint hiss...

@Dsnuts I ordered the Himalaya today! So, tell me your opinion compared to the TSMR-X ?
Dsnuts
Dsnuts
For you I would have said the Himalya will be your thing, now there are a few things you have to do in order to get them to a different level. Something I didn't go over in the review. Look into the Simgot Tuning nozzles. Which cost a buck right now on simgot site on aliexpress. Those nozzle just fit better on the Himalaya. Several reasons why these nozzles are better. If you get that Simgot nozzle filter you can tune the upper mids and treble to your liking. I mentioned on my review that I wish there was a medium filter between the blue and the stock nozzle and that is what the Simgot nozzles will do for you. I dont think the stock cable is the best for the Himalaya but they are certainly not bad. I would get them first and burn them in and see how you like it and go from there.
Dsnuts
Dsnuts
TSMR-X is a level above the Himalya for bass has less lower mids presence so you will like vocals better on the Himalaya. Himalaya is not as dimensional sounding as the TSMR-X but its good in that regard. Its tonal and timbre character is more natural than the TSMR-X but TSMR-Xs bass switches makes them more versatile than the Himalaya when it comes to eclectic music listening. But the relatively well balanced Himalaya with excellent quality bass is not bad there either. Sound is not as airy as the TSMR-X and sound separation is not quite as good but again certainly not lacking in that department for the Himalaya. I think you did good by getting the Himalaya. Just know they can be better than what you will hear with them when you get them. It takes a good thicker upgraded cable and them Simgot nozzles with a foam piece underneath and you will get one of the best dynamic IEMs for the price in your ears.
