The stereo field is expansive, with the Loki using its imaging to paint a lush, but realistic, live environment. Separation is great and gives each performance a clear identity. All of the instruments and vocals have a floaty feel, bringing out their dimension for greater immersion. Spatial positioning is front and center, but wide enough to form a large sphere. Instead, the Loki keeps everything focused. Distancing is highlighted, but the performances don’t have that airy quality. The way it communicates its layers brings all the sounds out to the front of your head. A high-end closed-back headphone with a great soundstage would accurately describe the Loki’s abilities better. I wouldn’t call it completely open, but the Loki gives the sound elements room to occupy. The way that the Loki encapsulates your headspace is more reminiscent of what over-ear headphones are capable of rather than IEMs. Very few IEMs are able to achieve the level of space that headphones bring, but the Loki firmly joins that exclusive club. After listening to the Loki, my expectations were exceeded. I tend to be impressed by Kinera’s soundstage delivery, so the prospect of what they can do with a three thousand-dollar IEM excites me.

The Sonion electrostatic drivers control the ultra-high frequencies. These balanced armatures are made by Knowles, and help relegate the mids mostly, with two additional drivers being used for treble.

The dynamic driver has a liquid-crystal diaphragm, and is tasked with delivering the low-end frequencies. I was surprised to see the dynamic unit was only 6mm, since most IEMs in this range use 10mm and above. There’s only a handful of IEMs like this design.

With that, plus one dynamic driver, six balanced armatures, and four electrostatic drivers, that would make the Loki a quad-driver configuration. The Loki comes packed with different drivers, and even features bone conduction. This did not hamper my experience with the overall fit, but it’s something to consider. It almost never gets on my nerves, but with the Loki it’s never been more apparent. However, there is one issue, and that’s the driver flex. As for the fit, the Loki is very comfortable, and offers great support. It gives you more of an appreciation for the design, and showcases the level of though Kinera puts into their IEMs. For example, the blue surface and red streaks are meant to symbolize Loki’s lineage. The norse themes are prominent, but Kinera really gets the details right. Like most of their catalog though, the aesthetic of the Loki has awesome inspiration. With that said, the artwork isn’t as flashy as past efforts from the brand. Kinera makes some of the most striking IEM designs in my opinion, and the Loki is just another example of that.
