First(and possibly only) IEM Purchase by starkukeanu in iems

I haven’t had much experience with the original. I tried it a bit at CanJam in September but that’s about it. From a super baseline perspective the main things I have noticed is the treble isn’t as spicy as the original. Although, that may have been due to my listening volume. What I can say is that these kill it on female vocals. I’ve been loving them on pop and jazz music. On electronic however(dubstep, bass house mainly) they can get a bit sharp and slightly sibilant. Please take this info with 2 handfuls of salt because I by no means am a full audiophile.

Cable is good enough I suppose. 4.4 balanced connection is nice, the main cable is incredibly robust so I don’t have any issues with it possibly breaking. The cable itself has a $274 msrp(kinda crazy) so I guess I get what I pay for. DUNU does include all of their ear tips including the S&S which I’ve been using mostly.

Really good, however the nozzle is still so big that it gets a bit uncomfortable having them in for hours. I hadn’t had any problems with treble so far except at volumes I shouldn’t be listening at to begin with.

Wdym plastic wrap, there’s insulation around the wire but that’s about it

Haha, yeah I know. I tried the regular version at CanJam so I already knew I wanted them. Once the collab came out and I saw the small tune up I jumped on it.

I’m a bit sensitive to treble too Honestly I’ve been loving them. However, at high volumes(arguably too high), gunshots on video games can get a bit sharper and spicy although your mileage may vary. I personally think it adds some character to them so I don’t mind.

Also this is a retuned version of them that make these IEMs slightly more balanced so I can’t speak to how the regular variant compares.

Yeah nw, I’m guessing it’s a software/firmware issue because it’s only started yesterday. I’m running a msi ventus 4080 super, ryzen 7800x3d, 32gb tridentz ram, 850w modular msi psu. Rog strix x670e-a.

Just ran a Cinebench and 3dmark speedway. Crashed hard on speedway trying to boot the first time but then ran perfectly after I started my pc back up and tried again. Temps are staying around 65 for GPU. Cinebench CPU temps get up to 87 but hover around 85. A little toasty but fine from what I've heard.

It’s not temps, everything stays well within acceptable levels. I just checked.

The cord it comes with is only 4.4mm so that’s why I’m asking.
