Kinera Imperial Skuld is an armature earphone by Kinera. Kinera has developed its latest products under the influence of gods from Scandinavian mythology. Skuld is one of the Norns, according to legend, Skuld determined the fate of people at birth.
The Kinera Imperial Skuld earphones are ergonomic and provide a comfortable fit. The bodies of the Kinera Imperial Skuld are made of pleasantly tactile glossy plastic, colored in very expressive shades.
By the way, the original appearance of the device is a source of pride for the developer: the designers and engineers of the company sought to achieve unity of aesthetics and sound of their creation - they undoubtedly succeeded. Special attention should be paid to the elongated sound guides, providing proper passive noise isolation.

Design: Engineers at Kinera create and approach their products with love and passion for music. Talented designers, professional hand-painted artists, create exceptionally beautiful objects. Kinera designers have chosen shades of blue and green as the primary color scheme, complemented by shiny gold foil and silver elements to give a bold and gleaming design to the main black base. The future should be bright, and thinking about it should be exciting.
We all like to think about the impressive, great future that awaits us ahead. That is what Kinera Skuld design represents. The mysterious, shiny, superb glossy finish of Skuld embodies the charm that we feel towards our future. That is what, in our opinion, perfectly matches the name of the goddess Skuld, as Kinera Audio claims about their product.
Sound
Inside each earphone there are 5 armature drivers: 2 proprietary Kinera drivers and 3 Knowles drivers. The sound of Kinera Imperial Skuld is based on a fairly flat frequency response (variations within 4 dB in the frequency range up to 8 kHz), which provides a well-balanced acoustic profile. A flat frequency response does not mean that it will be boring or less appealing.
Kinera's audio engineers have ensured that Skuld accurately conveys the emotions of your favorite music, with excellent resolution and high dynamic transient response. Kinera is confident that you will enjoy the dynamic and captivating sound, which will impress you with its accuracy and detail.
The midrange utilizes two balanced RAF-32873 drivers from Knowles. This driver has a full frequency range. The thoughtful acoustic design not only maintains excellent sound density, resolution, and smoothness in the mid and high frequencies but also creates a soft and comfortable sensation.
The dual-driver SWFC-31736, developed by Kinera, is dedicated to high frequencies that exhibit extremely high flexibility. Even at ultrasonic frequencies above 20 kHz that are beyond human hearing, it can effectively and accurately reproduce sound, providing broader support for soundstage.
Detachable Cable
The Kinera Imperial Skuld uses a universal 2-pin cable (0.78mm). The included cable is made of high-quality silver-plated copper. The cable consists of 8 conductors with a total of 192 strands.
The cable's outer sheathing is comfortable, soft, and environmentally friendly. The cable is initially equipped with a 4.4mm balanced connector, suggesting a preference for serious audio sources. However, if the listener does not have a player or amplifier with this connector, there is the option to use the included adapters - 3.5mm or 2.5mm balanced.
