Dunu DN-2000 - Hybrid Impressions Thread (It's Here!)
If you haven't tried using the foam tips, then you haven't tried these headphones. These things are everything I expected and more. I was concerned about a possible lack of bass, but those comments turned out to be overblown. This is why high end sound systems strive for balance and...- intrigid

For the tone controls, both bass and treble are set about halfway. It just never seems right without it that way.- intrigid

If I jack it up then I hear what you mean, but if I cut the 8k then it makes vocals sound more distant. But I'd also point out that the 8k isn't really being boosted; it just looks that way because of the 4k and 16k.- intrigid

Yep, like I said, I'm the knid of person who expects to use the same headphones for 15 years, so I represent the layman around here.- intrigid

Wow. Not enough is being said about the isolation in these things. I have them turned up full volume, which is intolerably loud for listening for more than a few seconds. If I cover the tips with my thumbs, I can't begin to hear any sound until they're about 6 inches from my ears. Never...- intrigid

I'll see if I can get some screen captures later. Anyway, the more I listen to them, the more vast the difference is becoming. It's interesting how they started out sounding like a 10-20% downgrade from the EX70s, then they were a 5% upgrade, then 10%, and now they sound like a 30% upgrade...- intrigid

Just got mine in today! So, how do they compare to my Sony Fontopia MDR-EX70LP earbuds from 2001? Some thoughts: First, the foam tips are the only ones that are usable. Everything else is beyond useless. However, the earbuds have a tendency to fall out of my ear while leaving the foam...- intrigid

Well, I ordered them off Amazon on May 27th and it just landed in Canada yesterday. Now it says the expected delivery date is June 18th. Annoying.- intrigid

Ok, his opinion came across to me as more of his own, like there was a complete wall of separation between the neutrality comment and the rest of his post. But it wouldn't be the first time I missed some deeper meaning. I'm expecting my 2Ks to come in this week. I just hope they sound better...- intrigid

H20, not sure where that comment came from. I thought axw meant "neutrality" in terms of EQ, but maybe he was referring to opinion bias. Still, his comment was so short and vague that I don't know how you possibly read as much into the comment as you did.- intrigid

I've heard a few people say that the bass is on the light side. What happens if you simply give the bass a little EQ boost where you think it's called for? What are the side effects?- intrigid

I just ordered the DN2000 this week, and I'll probably get it in a couple of weeks. This will be quite the jump for me. My best pair of earbuds are the Sony MDR-EX70LP. I've been using them regularly since 2001. In order to achieve a balanced sound in these things, my EQ is basically shaped like...- intrigid

What device are you listening on? Does it have an equalizer? If so, how many bands? Sounds like the 4-8k needs to come down by several dB. Every time I use a new device (headphones, speakers), I create a new EQ profile. I basically start with all settings flat and work from the bottom...- intrigid
