DUNU DN1000
« on: June 15, 2014, 05:06:49 PM »
Sound

These are warm. Perhaps a little bassy too, but IMO pleasantly so. Less bassy that the JVCs I've heard so far. Impact is pretty good. I feel these are very musical and engaging, but not necessarily the last word in resolution. On the other hand, I didn't feel the lower treble and/or upper mids edge I was getting of the Philips SHE cans. Like them better than the Philips and JVCs. They may lack a little treble extension, but that may be adjusted by some spacers... Didn't feel this particular set was bright nor fatiguing.

Comfort

The metal housing makes these kind of heavy. However, I had no problems with fitting at all, nor did they bother me. Pretty comfy.

Presentation

They look like bullet housings... I like that.

Price

~$180 which might be reasonable given these seem to be dynamic/BA hybrids.

Overall

Good classic and impactful dynamic driver like sound w/o the edge. Nice smooth mids... I like these best SQ wise of the lot that Insidious Meme provided. Thanks mang! :)p5

Wow, they looks quite flat on your measurement rig!

Interesting to compare your plots against Tyll's datasheet: http://www.innerfidelity.com/images/DunuDN1000.pdf

Since I use no compensation, Tylls un-comp plots do look closer to what I get. That said, there might be differences in the rigs like canal diameter, mic location and so on that might further account for differences. My rigs mic might be closer to the drivers, but not sure.

Thanks ultrabike for doing some measurements on my stuff.. for science! I really enjoy the Dunu IEM's from the lot as well. Though I am now curious about the Zero Audio Carbo Tenore like some folk on here. Ugh, not happy about the Havi B3 Pro conclusions though. But it happens. Thanks again.
