I saw their advertising here on the sidebar of a screen, and clicked out of curiosity. The company (from my home-town, Oklahoma City, OK) makes some higher end studio and car audio monitors, and stuff, and decided to build their own IEM, the DD-DXB01. Here's the link for it.

Digital Designs DD-DXB01

They sell for $59 right there on their website. Wonder how these compare with the NE-7M, which I happen to like very much for its crispness.

Anybody heard of or tried these???

With all those vents I wonder how much sound gets leaked in and out :O

Tunable bass system looks quite cool, but instead of tape, they should have some kind of rotary wheels with holes. The more you rotate the wheel, the more opened/closed the holes become.

Not willing to get rid of 59$ that much tho, especially since I am happy with the ADDIEM but still curious how they would compare, sound/value wise!

Wow, I'd feel sorry for anyone who got suckered in to this product. Using adhesive tape sounds almost DIY-ish, let alone paying $59 for it.

Indeed, paying $59 to DIY the bass to your preference. That's a joke.

But what happens if they sound great despite the tape gimmick?

 

[kmhaynes]

Squire, I like your idea that they should have added a rotating cover for the ports to adjust.

Then I'll start doubt everything I thought I knew about IEMs, LOL.

I remember these guys. DD has some of the most incredible subwoofers ever created. Their 9500 series could move some unbelievable air!

Anyway, these buds look interesting but I'll wait for reviews first.

 

[robojack]

Anyone think their "DD" logo resembles that of Daredevil (comic book character)?

 

[IntelaBank]

Sooo, no one has answered the OPs question. Has anyone tried them? Im searching for info on these myself.

The only kind of double D's I want are... I shouldn't say.

Dunkin' Donuts?

If I was in the market for some IEMs, I would give these a try because I am a fan of DD. Doesn't seem like the tape would be visible, but it is kind of lame.

Alas, I am not looking for IEMs so I won't be buying them, haha.

 

[tstarn06]

Not buying them because I don't need them, but I am curious (always). Sound interesting. I just can't spend the cash right now, as I am waiting on a buyer for my IE7s. Maybe later. I love finding below $100 bargain phones (PFEs, ADDIEMS, PK3s, etc.).

Of course! What else?

Anyways, few things that I'm thinking as I'm looking at the pictures:

1) We haven't had a port tuning IEM yet that hasn't broken down/fallen apart on us (SA6, PFE)... will this avoid that fate? Edit: Oh, it uses TAPE? For real? Haha. That'd be like the Sony EX series mods.

2) They don't seem like they will seal overly well. They look to be of a very shallow insert variety.

3) Can't say they look overly comfortable. Don't look over the ear friendly either.

But who knows, Phonaks were a diamond in the rough. Perhaps these are surprisingly good as well. Will look forward to hearing comments.
