Is that 50,000 (500.00) yen or a bit under $500 for us folks in the US?

Taobao is a Chinese site using the Yuan. 500.00 Yuan so roughly $81.45 USD, taobao is China only and US people would need a forwarding service to get it to them and with other fees/shipping costs it will probably come out to $90-$100. Best thing to do is likely to go wait until other sellers start getting them.

Thanks for the info.  I thought that $500 was high as the Dunu 2000 is $300.

No news or impressions?

What does it mean BA and dynamic, also what is a hybrid?
 
Where can you buy them?

 

[Saoshyant]

BA stands for balanced armature, q type of driver used in inner ear modules that is typically designed to aim for detail, where a dynamic driver is one that is capable of better bass, typically at the cost of detail. Hybrid refers to a multi driver IEM that utilizes both BA and Dynamic.

So it had two drivers like the TTPOD T1E has?

Yeah, the ttpod has 2 dynamic drivers while the Dunu has a dynamic driver and a balanced armature.

Contacted Dunu, found out these should be released outside of China in November, and asked about the possibility of a U.S. tour. Fingers crossed...

[Zenbun]

How much are they going to cost outside of China?

Are there currently any other IEMs with a dynamic and BA drivers?

This Alpha 1 is a first for earbuds.
But for IEMs, there are many hybrids. Just type 'hybrid' in the search bar at the top
