You really should refrain from making comments like that. Claiming things like „better“ or „worse“ about a headphone without having heard it for yourself is like ascertaining a foods taste by looking at a picture of it on your monitor and trying to lick the image.
Although I agree that the product page description of it sounds a bit like pretentious bs and arrogant
A bit unrelated, but I was interested in trying the DUNU Falcon Ultra. Aside from it looking gorgeous, most impressions I have seen speak of it as a great, fun sounding (v-shaped) single DD.
I have one question: Couldn’t DUNU have done this tuning and selection of drivers without cooperating with “great personalities”?!? Just asking, not nagging…
1. You choose a company for IEM 2. You call and offer cooperation 3. You find the graphics of your favorite IEMs 4. Tweaking the tuning here and there so it’s not completely identical to your favorite prototype IEM 5. You select a driver configuration that is different from the prototype 6. You are advertising this IEM and your name must be in first place 7. You get a good commission because you gently copied some good IEM 8. Everyone praises you in HFGF for how good you are and how good your IEM is 9. With the money you earn, you buy a good IEM
It’s a very enjoyable, (at least to memory) similar update to the limited Vernus that improved on the Falcon Pro for most people. I would definitely rec it personally, and depending on where you are (and when my schedule opens up) I may be able to loan you one for demo if you really want. PM me if you’re interested.
No doubt it’ll sound good. Looks like a spiced up Vulkan indeed.
Acoustic design for a generic TOTL IEM:
Add a sub bass boost because we don’t want to come across anemic
Bring down the upper Bass (180 Hz to 250 Hz) as much as possible, because mud is pure evil
Gently incline ear gain from 1kHz up to somewhere between 2.2 kHz and 3.5 kHz because we don’t want to cause any stress.
Slap a lot of treble/air energy on there for the older financially established target demographic who seen a few decades. (at least a few dB over the mid low point)
Doesn’t make sense to me either. A set at this price should be able to stand on its own and not need attachment to an personality to move. Collabs are more for stuff that might get stuck in the pack without a push or retunes going away from a company’s “house sound”
The R1 sure looks interesting, I agree. I believe @ToneDeafMonk has the R1 incoming and will most likely leave some impressions once the snail mail arrives
