Pros & Cons
Pros
Katos have the best sub-bass representation in the sub-$300 price category. They do an amazing job of providing vocal and instrumental clarity in a more direct tone. Their impactful bass allows base fans to feel the thump.
Bass really slaps once you find the right ear tips. The nut allows you to tighten the cable around your chin to further isolate microphonics.
To check for sibilance in those highs, i tend to listen to within from daft punk. Another good check for highs is stalactites by hinako omori.
Cons
They look nice enough but come in at a rather premium price for a 1dd that doesn't do anything exceptional. I spend more time with my zero 2 - another 1dd at a quarter the price - and i'm struggling to call out anything the singolo does better.
Highlights
Quality
Overall:good build quality, comfortable, serviceable silicone tips, bass-heavy sound that won’t cause fatigue.
Very clear and open sound, good bass once you figure out a good ear tip fitment and seal.
The cable provided reminded me of the cables that came with entry-level kz iems albeit using better materials.

Price
I would say that the kiwi ears are a bargain if they can bring it down to the $50 range.
Overall, i think these are decent for the price.
Shipping

Packaging/appearance
Took about 2 minutes for it to forget the loop it was inside the box.
Competitiveness
I have been in the iem space for a few years, and have purchased iems from both kiwi ears as well as collaborations from crinacle.
Sidenote: they sound incredibly similar to the truthear zero red, so it may not be worth buying if you already have red.
In the same price range, the basn mix-pd is a much better choice, among others.
The basn does better in that regard, too.

At this price point i have become accustomed to cables that at least give the appearance of a premium nature even if not the ideal
