The o2 is the specialist, while the Falcon is the versatile one. So they are aiming at different things and hard to score them that way, it is entirely library depended. With my library, I do believe the Falcon is edging out the O2 but for acoustic/vocal music with female vocals (the stuff it is specialized for) the O2 is probably better.
Dunu Falcon Pro impressions:
Mildly V-shaped; Sub-bass roll-off, lacking some quantity as well. But mid-bass is quite fast and tight despite the elevated quantity so it is clean. Vocals are a bit recessed but otherwise quite clean and natural, especially male vocals. Treble is very smooth and does have air, will probably not offend anyone with peaks.
Sounds like a mix between the Sony XBA-N3 (Mids/Treble) and the Dunu Zen (Bass).
But IMO; if people are giving you shit for giving out free information on something you bought yourself. They are quite ungrateful for it and you might just want to stop giving them free shit while they are shitting on you…
Don’t mind them. If you say imaging is not good on Timeless, I believe you. You’ve heard more IEMs than most of us and we can only be grateful that you share info and knowledge with us.
So how is the bass quantity and bass quality of the Falcon Pro compared to the Sony N3 and does it sound non-fatiguing as well? I guess the Falcon Pro slams pretty hard?
Looks interesting, looking forward to your full review. I actually like the graph as long as there is not any bloat being carried over into the lower mids I don’t mind the Bass shape at all. The transparent filter looks to be possibly the preferred shape for me.
I just report what I hear. People also should remember I’m used to MEST MKII and tribrids. Hopefully it might give some insight what you might be getting at higher price points. For most, the Timeless at 200 bucks will be amazing.
Looks nice keeping a bit of the steep rise, while cutting off a bit of the 5k peak. Looks like a probable buy for me assuming you don’t find anything odd in your review.
