I'm tempted to pick up a used Dunu DK-2001, but I already have the DK-3001 (non-pro version). Anyone heard both and care to comment on whether having both would be a good or bad idea?

If it's just an inferior earphone, I'll pass. But if it's around as good and different enough, I think I'm keen on getting it.

There’s a thread for the DK-2001: Link
Also, Dunu has stopped production. So the resale value should be good, if you don’t like ‘em.

HS1650 CU is an excellent DD. Quite a shame that its successor 1657 CU cannot replicate or better the performance.

So the Black Friday Aliexpress sale has started, any of you guys seen any nice deals? In general, the prices look a bit meh this sale, lesser discounted quantums and lesser coupons on offer when compared to the recent 11/11 sale.

So far I've seen a great deal in the TRN V90S on the TRN official store, it's going at $19.90 USD (usual price $50 USD). Good price at $19.90, but at $50 there's tough competition, so I wouldn't recommend it strongly at full price.
TRN V90S is a V shaped set, good technicalities, not as hot in upper mids as the usual TRN/KZs out there. Timbre is okay for acoustic instruments considering it has BAs handling the higher frequencies, but can be a bit nasal for vocals. Isolation average. There's a 10 - 12 kHz area spike that may trouble younger folks with good hearing, but for most other folks it should be quite smooth. Bass is very extended and textured. It has quite recessed mids, so not for mid lovers or vocal lovers.

Another possible deal is the Audiosense TX15, going at $14.50 USD, usual price $29. It is a single DD set, non detachable cable. V shaped set, good timbre and tonality, but below average technicalities, can't keep up with fast/complex music. Bass can be slow and boomy with midbass bleed. Comes with nice accessories. At $29 USD, not recommended. I got it at $9.50 USD on 11/11 after coupon gymnastics (from the discounted $14.50 price), so at sub $10 USD, maybe worth a consideration for folks who want good timbre and listen to less complex music arrangements, or for those newer to the CHIFI circuit.
