Kinera Celest Pandamon Planar

November 28, 2022 1 min read

Pandamon is also known as the Iron-eating beast, it was first recorded in Chinese fantasy literature “the Classic of Mountain and Seas (aka Shan Hai Jing)”, depicting its image to look alike a bear with black and white patterns, feasting itself with iron and copper- a fantasy beast with a ferocious image.
According to legends, it is the personal mount of famous tribal leader Chi-You, with supernatural powers itself. It has contributed enormously to the tribe’s brilliant military records with extraordinary combat ability. Enemy weapons made with hardened metals can even be crushed easily when facing the Iron-eater’s brutal teeth. Even not on battlegrounds, it will often break into villagers’ homes to crush and feast on their metal cookware, thus earning the name of “Iron-eating Beast”.

Kinera’s new Pandamon earphone shell adopts a new design, using a circular hollow faceplate with a unique sense of mechanical aesthetics. The hollow cavity has a strong sense of three-dimensionality visually, which is a perfect integration with inner mechanical artistry. Pandamon will use resin as shell material, and the 3D cavity of pressed texture will be a blend of IEM design.

304 stainless steel is used on the IEM faceplate, each one going through multiple processes including precision engraving, nickel electroplating, and UV coloring to ensure a balanced & natural color tone and smooth and shining body with intricate and long-lasting metal features. Kinera has used the Pandamon logo on the IEM faceplate, presenting an artistic collision core design between mechanical rhythm and the ferocious Pandamon symbolized by its metal-crushing teeth and flaming eyes.

Kinera has used an enhanced Kinera SPD 2.0 driver on Pandamon. Overall frequency sensitivity enhanced by 3dB to be an even mobile phone-friendlier IEM. Celest coupled a BA driver on the first iteration of Kinera SPD 1.0, the Celest Gumiho, to compliment treble delivery, but Kinera SPD 2.0 is capable to deliver a full frequency range.
