SeeAudio Kaguya II Hybrid IEMs Review

The SeeAudio Kaguya II is presented on HiFiGO's page as an upgraded version of one of the brand's first models, with nine drivers per side: one dynamic, four balanced armature, two bone conduction and two electrostatic units behind a six-way crossover. Impedance is 13Ω±1Ω and sensitivity 110dB±1dB on the page, with a 20Hz~20kHz range, at $1,599.

Specifications

Options and pricing

KAGUYA II is the single option, priced at $1,599 and shown as orderable when read. The spec section names a 4.4mm balanced termination plug on an OCC silver-plated cable with 0.78mm 2-pin connectors, and the page text gives no other plug option. The page also names natural blue mica face covers with triple-layered gold foil, and its text gives no ear-tip, case or box list.

How it compares

The FiiO FX17 is $1,499.99 with 1DD+4BA+8EST on each side and the AFUL DAWN-X is $1,299.99 with 1DD+8BA+4EST+1BCD, against $1,599 and 1DD+4BA+2BC+2EST here. The Elysian Apostle 2026 is priced at $1,999 and its spec lists a 5-driver tribrid setup. Pick the Kaguya II for its two bone conduction drivers and 4.4mm cable; the FX17 and DAWN-X list more EST drivers at lower prices.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

HiFiGO's warranty runs one year from the order date for parts and labor; its policy names desktop DACs and amps, IEMs and dongles at one year and gives cables and adapters three months. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement, the buyer pays the shipping, and faulty items go back for service, not for a refund. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone, and its terms are governed by the laws of China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
