Kiwi Ears Altruva is engineered with a custom-designed 50 mm dynamic driver and tuned to deliver exceptional clarity, natural tonal balance, and dynamic articulation. Its acoustic performance achieves an immersive listening experience that confidently stands alongside significantly higher-priced headphones. Its open-back design enhances soundstage and spatial realism, while the use of premium materials such as PVD coated steel, wood, and vegan-leather ensures both comfort and durability. Designed for audiophiles and music lovers alike, the Altruva makes high-end sound more accessible than ever.

Clarity and Balance in Your Music
Kiwi Ears Altruva is tuned to deliver a studio monitor-like sound profile. Its bass is punchy and fast, providing a satisfying low-end impact without overpowering the midrange. The mids are natural and well-balanced, providing accurate reproduction of instruments and vocals in their core frequencies. The treble is clear and transparent, with a sense of openness and airiness. Designed for audiophiles, the Altruva aims to recreate the precision and neutrality of a professional studio listening experience.




Full-Sized 50 mm Dynamic Driver
An all-new OEM 50 mm dynamic driver has been developed specifically for the Altruva. Featuring upgraded neodymium magnets and a reinforced diaphragm structure, the driver performs exceptionally well in the mid and upper frequencies. It incorporates custom-made PU and PEK composite diaphragm materials along with an ultra-pure copper ring to ensure precision, speed, and clarity across the spectrum.

Headphone Specifications:
  • Driver Unit: 50 mm Dynamic Driver
  • Impedance: 32 Ohm
  • Sensitivity: 98dB+/-3dB
  • Frequency Response: 20 Hz to 40 kHz
  • Plug: 3.5 mm + 6.3 mm adaptor

[Editor's note: the Altruva headphones are priced at US$69.99]

Overall design looks VERY similar to my JadeAudio cans I got for a VERY similar price... I suppose the proof's in the drivers and the open backs. Will see how well these pan out, I could see myself giving these a recc for dece audio on the cheap.
