Terrific preview, Tom.  Extremely informative, as always.  This is the first universal IEM that's got my attention in a long time..

Thanks for starting the thread and updates, looking forward to reviews.

Looking forward to 2000J!
Subbed.

  noticed that the midrange was more apparently recessed in the now-signature DUNU fashion

 
I like mid though.  Anyways, subbed  : )

 

[mochill]

I love mids as well

A real good introductory!!

I love bass?

Loved the write-up @tomscy2000 . You just have a way with words. 
 
PS: Apart from the RE400/600, do any other HiFiMAN IEMs use titanium on the drivers?

There needs to be a poll to show the population of different heads (mid, bass, ss, etc)  : P

  What an amazingly great preview, tomscy2000.  Thanks! 
 
Super excited about these  - I`m not waiting for any impresssions and Imma get me some ASAP.  
 
Does anybody know what this Japan connection is?  Who are these Japan partners? Why `J`?  
 
Love the ribbed nozzle : for extra sensation, I assume.  
 
Love the 4-wire cable.   AK heaven for me.
 
Love the Titanium Tri-oxide Crystalline Flux Capacitor Unobtainium-fusion thingy.
 
Care not one iota for the comply tips, a giant whatever - pm me you can have them for free.  
 
The only negative I can see is  IT LOOKS LIKE DN-1000, and will inspire pity those who witness me with them in my ears, rather than  the dazzled awe I will rightfully deserve.   
 
Can`t Wait,

Yeah, that Flux Capacitor really gets me going; all the way back to the future!

That part worries me a bit as well. Anyway, if the J won't be my cup of tea, I can always fall back on my non-J.

  Interested in cost & durability as I am in the market for not-so-expensive + comfortable IEMs for use w/ my laptop for things like watching videos.  I haven't taken the opportunity to dive into the Chinese IEMs yet, but his might be my first foray.

If you're interested I have a pair of Skullcandy Titans that seem very durable. PM me!

Well, it's not like the mids are gone or anything, but they won't be warm/forward. It has better midrange presence than the Titan 1, which I thought was a bit too mid-recessed for my personal tastes. It won't affect clarity, either. The prototype I heard was similar to the current DN-2000, but with a definite speed and resolution boost, with a slight penalty toward treble brightness, which I'm sure they're working on toning down.
 
Hopefully it'll be ready by April.

Thanks. The older/discontinued RE-262/272 both had titanium coatings. The upcoming RE-1000 probably has it too. The Nuforce NE-700X, I believe uses a titanium coating. Not sure what else I'm missing.

Well this certainly sounds reassuring! Thanks for keeping my/our spirits up!

now I definitely can't wait for it
