Why should I choose KA13 or KA15?
Choose the KA15 if:
You want to customize your sound using Parametric EQ (PEQ) that stays saved on the device.
You are worried about your phone's battery—the KA15 uses an intelligent chip that consumes significantly less power when music is paused.
You love the "Retro" look and want a screen to see your exact volume level and sample rate.
You really prioritize audio quality and want to get the best out of your high end IEM's.
Choose the KA13 if:
You want the maximum power-to-price ratio. It delivers nearly the same raw wattage as the KA15 for a lower price.
You prefer a simpler "plug-and-play" device without a screen or menus.
You already have an external EQ app (like Wavelet or UAPP) and don't need the hardware-level EQ.
