Head-Fier
Pros: sub-bass, well-rounded v-shaped IEM, accessories
Cons: weight, size, isolation, sub-par packaging
My setup: iBasso DX50 --> Dunu DN-1000
 
Packaging
Yes the accessories in the box are plenty. But the cloth material used for inner box and metal case is poor. The black dust from the cloth sticks to the tips and i don't expect to clean it religiously everytime i take it out the case. Thank God the for the pouch.
 
Build
The shell is huge. And heavy. I had a Shure SE215LTD and i sold it off after merely two weeks partly due to the comfort factor. DN-1000 also unfortunately has the same issue. I am currently using blue ring and long form tips to put some distance from my ears and the shell but no, it's not working. I can feel the pain after some time and need to take it out and put back in and adjust accordingly.
 
Sound
I love every bit of it. The isolation might not be the best with my setup but is just enough for me though i would really appreciate a better isolation. The sub-bass is spectacular.
 
The bass is punchy but a bit loose at times especially in fast-paced tracks. I am no way a basshead. When i use my Hippo VB, i use the 3-dot plate. But the amount DN-1000 delivers can be sufficient for the bassheads out there and just nice for me. It's not overpowering like what i experienced with Shure SE215. Instrument separation is great. I can notice the details at lows, mids and highs even when the bass is thumping.
 
Soundstage is satisfactory. I've been putting aside my Hippo VB for quite some time and been too used with the soundstage that my open cans deliver. I can probably improve the soundstage by using other tips.
 
Dunu DN-1000 really does well for a wide range of music. I listen to R&B, indie rock and pop. It never fails to impress me. Throw anything at it, it can handle them very well.
