All New Diaphragm Material
The Kiwi Ears Dolce utilizes a brand new diaphragm material to accurately reproduce studio-grade audio. The 10mm LDP (LDPE+LCP) diaphragm is an innovative composite driver developed by crosslinked crystallization of low-density polyethylene (LDPE) films in a similar manner with liquid crystal polymers (LCP). This strengthens the ultra-thin sheets at the chemical level, ultimately enhancing its tensile strength and elasticity. Paired with strong neodymium magnets, the LDP diaphragm driver performs incredibly with low total harmonic distortions across the entire frequency band. The LDP driver is the next dynamic driver solution for optimal audio resolution and tonal balance.
Natural Tuning
The Dolce derives its name from the Italian musical term meaning “sweet” or “sweetly”. Like its name implies, the Dolce sounds delightfully sweet, with hints of warmth and richness, crisp articulation, and a complete balanced and natural tone. The subbass is well extended and delivers powerful bass kicks, with full bass guitar notes in the lows. Rather than a sterile neutral, the mids have been tuned to carry slight warmth in the notes to achieve a more musical and enjoyable listening experience. The treble perfectly matches the human ear’s resonance by perfectly elevating at 3kHz, and slowly decays with upper treble progression to give a natural timbre in the highs. The LDP diaphragm allows one of the most natural presentations of upper treble reproduction compared to previous types of dynamic drivers, and the treble is fully present, but free of any harshness or shrillness. The Dolce’s sound is the perfect earphones for any usage case, whether it be on the stage, studio, or on your daily commute.
3D Printed Resin Shell
To keep the Dolce fit for any scenario, the housing material is composed of ultra-durable medical-grade resin. Through software design, the shells are 3D printed with the exact internal acoustic chamber dimensions to ensure every unit sounds the same. Not only will the Dolce provide a secure and comfortable fit in your ears, but it will also be the perfect earphones for wherever you go.
Detachable 2-Pin Cable
The Dolce comes standard with a detachable 2-pin 0.78mm cable. The cable is constructed of high-purity OCC copper, and is ready to deliver a transparent sound free of any distortions. The detachable cable also extends the longevity of the earphones, as you can simply swap out the cable to any similar 2-pin cable in the future.

Shipping FAQ
Which countries do you ship to?
We are generally able to ship to most countries via Express Shipping, and many countries via Standard Shipping. You may clarify this with our team to check whether Standard Shipping is available to your country.
We cannot ship to addresses that are "PO boxes or APO/FPO".
*Note: Generally, we can only do Selected Shipping to India and Russia. We can only do Express Shipping to Africa, Argentina, Hawaii, Kuwait, Mauritius, Montenegro and Sri Lanka, to name a few.
This may be subjected to changes due to unpredictable issues such as Covid, war, and etc.
How much does shipping cost?
We have two shipping methods - Standard Shipping and Express Shipping.
Standard Shipping is free for most countries, while Express Shipping is 15-35USD depending on your country. If your order is over 270USD, Express Shipping is free*.
*This applies for most countries. However, large items such as headphones and desktop DAC/AMPs (e.g. HarmonicDyne G200, MUSICIAN MDP-2, and etc.) are excluded.
Shipping fees exclude import taxes or processing fees that may be applicable for your country. Kiwi Ears is not responsible for such fees. Should you refuse to pay the tax/customs fees, shipping fees will still be deducted from the amount paid for the two-way freight charges. The cost of the freight charges may be more than the amount reflected on your order due to tax and other miscellaneous fees.
Some parcels claimed to be “returned to the seller” may be destroyed by the post office or customs officers when buyers refuse to accept their parcels or fail to pay for their taxes. No refund will be processed for such cases.
Standard Shipping via YunExpress is a tax-inclusive option for some countries. However, Kiwi Ears will not be responsible for additional administrative or handling fees charged by your local courier company or customs. Please kindly check this with your local customs.
For certain remote areas, there may be additional charges via Express Shipping. We will contact you if there is a need to make additional payments.
