Tonal Profile
The second Cadenza swaps the beryllium-coated driver for a titanium-coated PET diaphragm and drops the impedance from 32 Ω to 18 Ω. Kiwi Ears also publishes rated and maximum power here — 5 mW and 10 mW — which is unusual honesty for the price and a genuinely low ceiling.
Amplification Warning
10 mW at 18 Ω is 0.42 V. A desktop amplifier that swings several volts will pass the manufacturer's own maximum long before the volume knob runs out.
Was im Datenblatt tatsächlich steht
Wörtlich von der Herstellerseite zitiert, mit dem Datum der Prüfung. Wir behaupten das Gedruckte, nicht die Absicht dahinter.
«Sensitivity 106dB (±1dB)@1kHz»
The unit is missing. On the same manufacturer's Cadenza and Orchestra pages the identical table row reads «110dBSPL/mW» and «111dBSPL/mW», so milliwatts is the reading we record. It matters: at the stated 18 Ω the same figure read as dB/V would describe an earphone about 17 dB less efficient than it is, which is the difference between «any phone drives it» and «bring an amplifier».
