Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch
Fueled by a passion for remarkable sound, the Punch embodies a blend of innovative engineering and expertly tuned acoustics.
Created for bass lovers and audio professionals, the Punch delivers powerful bass and clear, balanced sound across the frequency range. With high-performance drivers, precision-tuned crossover, and a customizable cable, the Punch lets you immerse yourself fully in every note.
Collaboration with HBB
Kiwi Ears has collaborated with Hi-Fi audio reviewer HBB (Hawaii Bad Boy) from YouTube’s Bad Guy Good Audio Reviews. HBB is a prominent global reviewer for IEMs and headphones, and his extensive experience with Hi-Fi audio has been instrumental in developing this collaboration. The Punch reflects HBB’s preference for quality bass, making it an excellent choice for bass enthusiasts.
Our Deepest Bass Yet
The Punch is a bass-lover’s ideal IEM. With a 15dB subbass emphasis driven by a 10mm composite dynamic driver, the Punch delivers strong impact in the low end. Its bass is robust and well-defined, offering a satisfying subbass experience.
Powerful Bass with Balanced Tuning
In line with Kiwi Ears’ commitment to tonal balance, the Punch is tuned to sound natural and well-rounded despite its prominent bass. The subbass is carefully controlled with a clear cutoff from the midrange, ensuring the midrange remains neutral and clear. This tuning makes the Punch suitable for on-stage monitoring, particularly for drummers and bass guitarists. The treble is also adjusted to offer a monitor-like sound, with a natural curve to match the human ear's frequency response.
Extended Treble Range
The Punch includes two imported Sonion electrostatic (EST) drivers per side, extending the treble range up to 40kHz. This configuration captures subtle details in music while maintaining a natural sound, making the Punch well-rounded in both the low and high frequencies.
Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers
The Punch utilizes the latest version of Knowles drivers to enhance the midrange. The RAB 32257 series drivers feature an open-vented port, allowing improved airflow for a fuller, richer sound.
Precision Engineering
The Punch is designed with a 3-way passive crossover network, with each driver type routed through separate sound tubes. This tuning strategy combines passive and acoustic crossover techniques to achieve a cohesive sound.
Customizable Cable
The Punch comes with a high-quality cable with a 2-pin (0.78mm) connector, compatible with other universal 2-pin cables. This design allows users to personalize their listening experience and enhances the IEM's durability.

Customer Reviews
The headphones have MEGA bass, which will always find its place in electronic music!
These headphones are positioned as a model for bassheads, so we will consider them from this side.
The sub-bass is deep, very confidently manifests itself from 20 Hz, and the more powerful the current source, the more correct and powerful the bass.
The relief of the sub is exaggerated here, but it is perceived quite pleasantly and melodically due to the correct construction of low frequencies.
The mid-bass does not run ahead of the locomotive, but is built in such a way that it does not interrupt the sub-bass, although it sounds at the same volume level.
An excellent setting for modern electronic music.
All kinds of bass-boost tracks will go down well with fans of basstronics and similar subwoofer styles.
And of course, do not forget about metal, heavy and emo rock, in these genres the headphones provide excellent tactility of the stage and a hurricane of drive!
The mid-frequencies, despite all the V-shape and basshead, do not feel failed, they are quite adequately built with an eye on the settings of the headphones.
Although the bass tries to dominate in terms of volume, the midrange holds the bar.
Occasionally, in particularly over-bassed tracks it can sag, and then only in places, but again, due to the specifics of bass-boosted tracks.
Instrumental is not the strongest side of this model, but it is clearly not weak either.
Live instruments sound quite pleasant, but attention still switches to the bass, but in some genres of instrumental music this sounds quite appropriate.
Female vocals are well-intelligible and beautiful, they are quite well expressed, but I still want a slightly denser 1.5 kHz area.
Male vocals have full-bodied tones, and especially black jazz and soul sound rich and full.
The upper frequencies show all their magnificence here, because the electrostatic drivers from Sonion = excellent detailing, separation and duration.
The highs try to balance the bass-head lows, which results in a decent V-shape, with a slight bias towards the lower tonality.
The cymbals are clear, fast, crumbly, the tambourine sounds very realistic, and in general, all the percussion instruments are a special decoration of the sound of these headphones.
Excellent control over sibilants - there is no trace of them here, even in the tracks in which they are present.
The highs, despite their naturalness and authenticity, have a golden color, which is very beautifully reflected in the overall presentation.
I recommend everyone to try headphones with electrostats on the HF to feel all the charm and magic of the high frequencies.
Kiwi Ears x HBB Punch - headphones definitely deserve attention first of all from those who want to get more low frequencies!
They are not so much about analytics, but about musicality and drive, so if you are looking for emotions and pump, then try this model!
フィット感があり使いやすいです。満足度高いです。
Bassheads rejoice. This is what you want. Great, impactful and speedy bass with beautiful mids and clear yet smooth highs. New basshead standard.
This is best IEM I own! Mahalo to HBB and Kiwi Ears for such a banger collab. Great bass and awesome sound signature! Well worth the price tag. This could be my end game pair…
I haven't tried any bassy set till today. How wrong was I... This set presents music like I didn't know was possible. Very clear all the way from bass to upper treble.
I cannot hear music on any other set right now. I feel they are lacking something. HBB has done a tremendous job on this one. Thank god i didn't get the deuce and waited for this one.
This set is a revelation to me. This is my first expensive set and it amazed me. I never thought music could sound so beautiful. The bass is pure pleasure and the details are beautiful. I have found my endgame, if something ever happens to my current set, i'll just buy another one of these because I dont think anything else will be much better. I can finally experience what I've seen others talk about a lot.
Very nice bass boosted set. If you like something rumble but still sounds natural, this set is best choice at this price range. The design of the shell is wonderful. Congrats to Chris.
I swap a 4.4mm balanced cable and it sounds even better. More types of tips and a 4.4mm cable are needed for this beautiful IEM.
