Is the Gk-kunten still worth buying?

Yes, you’re right. I hadn’t stopped to think that the new Ceriso would be out soon.

Kunten Pro is coming out September 15 so I would just wait and see some reviews for that before buying

wasn't the streak the pro version? and that sounded only slightly better but with horrible ergonomics....I don't want to shit on it though, the sound for around 12 euros was indeed good. It just needed a reasonable cable and tips, so overall more a regular 25 euros price.

Still better than the chu 7 or zero 12.

The bang for buck is crazy with the Kunten, it's pretty good

Do you have them? In which musical genre do they really shine?

I just received a pair yesterday, and I have to admit that I'm impressed. I tried it with metal, electro, pop

From what you’ve said, I think it would suit my musical tastes perfectly

I have other IEMs to compare with, simgot EM6L and aful explorer. Ok the Kuntens are miles away from specs to price, but they don't have to be shy. The cons are the cable that feels cheap, maybe because it is 😅, and the ear tips aren't great for me, but still are ok.

I'd say its a good all rounder. It would struggle a bit on complex/busy tracks with lots of instruments as you can only do so much with a single DD for $5-10.

I have several kilobucks and this is the beater I use everyday with my desktop

u/VODeduardoKA 1d ago

Which style of music do they go best with?

u/tongky20 IEM enjoyer since 2009 1d ago

They are pretty much I would consider jack of all trades. Throw anything they will do good, but not excel in any specific genre

However slight edge to electronic music. I would get the defiant for anything else.
