Kinera Hela HK Edition
The Perfect Transformation of the Ultra-Flagship: "1642" Four Hybrid Thirteen-Unit Array
Whisper of the Underworld Queen
Ultra-Flagship: "1642"
1 Dynamic Driver + 6 Balanced Armatures + 4 Sonion Electrostatic + 2 Sonion Bone Conductors
Hela's technical and structural design is not simply about "stacking the number of drivers." Based on the parameters of past hybrid driver models, the "1642" hybrid array with thirteen drivers is constructed. For the low frequencies, a 6mm liquid crystal polymer dynamic driver exclusively designed by Kinera is used to ensure depth and richness in the bass. For the mid to upper mid frequencies, a custom "4+2" Knowles balanced armature driver configuration is carefully arranged to enhance the naturalness and smoothness from the mid to high frequencies.
Additionally, four Sonion electrostatic drivers responsible for the ultra-high frequency range serve as the core of the sound output. Paired with a metal sound nozzle design, this setup allows better control of sound wave propagation, achieving a wider high-frequency extension and significantly enhancing detail representation, while maintaining an appropriate level of brightness and softness. Moreover, the specially added 1+1 composite Sonion dual bone conduction unit enriches the tonal layers of the mid to high frequencies, ensuring smooth integration across Hela's high, mid, and low frequencies. Combined with Kinera's consistent balanced and refined tuning approach, the Hela comprehensively display an overwhelming "queenly presence," achieving a super flagship-level pinnacle in terms of sound completion and quality.
Innovation
Dual Acoustic Crossover Architecture
Through Kinera's proprietary dual acoustic crossover architecture, seamless integration between each sound driver is achieved through both electronic and physical crossovers. Initially, a carefully designed electronic crossover system skillfully controls the frequency cutoff points and slopes to handle sound signals of different frequencies, ensuring that each driver receives the most suitable frequency range. Then, the physical design within the earphone is adjusted according to the characteristics of different drivers, reducing electronic interference between signal transmissions. This allows each driver to focus more on its best frequency range, thereby enhancing the overall clarity and detail representation across all three frequency bands.
6mm Liquid Crystal Polymer Diaphragm Dynamic Driver
With over a decade of expertise in acoustic design and electroacoustic engineering, Hela features a next-gen 6mm liquid crystal polymer diaphragm dynamic driver. This design enhances mass and damping, reducing unwanted resonance and distortion while expanding the frequency range. A high-precision, fully enclosed magnet layout strengthens the magnetic field, ensuring stability, improved conductivity, and a rich, dynamic bass response.
1+1 composite Sonion dual bone conduction driver
Hela's 1+1 composite Sonion dual bone conduction driver is among the most versatile available, offering stable transmission and an expanded vibration range. Its dual diaphragm design enables sound to travel directly through ear cartilage and bones to the auditory nerves. Kinera has fine-tuned this unit to enhance mid-to-high frequencies, ensuring a seamless transition with balanced armature drivers while maintaining smooth, natural timbre. These refinements improve sensitivity, transient response, and spatial representation, delivering a lifelike portrayal of string and woodwind instruments with exceptional clarity and depth.

Exclusive Cable and High Quality Leather Case
The original cable equipped with Hela features a quad-twist 24AWG 6N single crystal copper with gold-plated Litz wire core + 6N single crystal copper with silver-plated Litz wire core, wrapped in double-layer PU insulated sheath and an outer cotton fabric. The cable has a soft and smooth texture, effectively eliminating microphonics. With the original cable, Hela maintains a clear and abundant sound, while preserving good tri-frequency density and dynamic performance.
Hong Kong Exclusive: Eletech Victoria
Kinera, taking into account the tuning preferences and listening habits of users in the Hong Kong region, also includes a Hong Kong-exclusive cable made by the Singaporean cable brand Eletech, named Victoria. This cable employs a flagship 9x9 geometric braiding configuration, complemented by a quad-twist 26 AWG high-purity single crystal copper + single crystal copper gold-plated core, further enhanced with a copper-silver plated shielding mesh. Paired with Hela, it provides a clear and warm vocal presentation, increases the richness and moistness of the mid and low frequencies, significantly enhances high-frequency details, and offers a quiet musical background, optimizing the sound potential of Hela to its fullest.
