I'm getting Sidy DM2, can't resist those horn shape.

Will post comparison with KC06 when I got them.

  Seems like Dolphin or S680 are the best full sized closed headphones; not sure which because nobody has tried both.  
 
Any good full sized open headphones?

 
Yeah it would be good if there was a comparison of the s680 and the dolphin.
 
From what i have heard isolation isn't great on the s680 whereas it is pretty good on the dolphins.

funny, that's the reason i'm very interested in them. 
 
at least i hope those exchangeable nozzles work well, unlike  some "not worth naming" iem i got

Hmmm, KZ GR?

So you're getting them too? should be fun to read your comparison with KC06.

nope. actually they look similar to those GR. but believe me, they're really not worth the money. not the retail, 50% or even 70% off. my favorites budget She3680 beats them in every way.
i admit that i could have got a bad batch, but i doubt it

Well at least we can be sure this one can't be that bad since an experienced member here has testified as such, I just hope I'll like the sound signature.

LOVE your detailed reviews, and can't wait for your DM2 impressions!
 
The shape is unique, but its a bit slippery sucker!
 
Regarding filter ducts/nozzles, they do work but only 2 out of 3 are useful.  Penonaudio told me that silver one going to be discontinued moving forward since it alters sound too much (almost like a surgical cut of low frequencies).  Black one was nice to try out to hear how bass can ruin a sound   Red one is just perfect.  Don't expect a neutral balanced sound, you are still getting a healthy amount of bass quantity with it (love it!!!).

The MR1 is sort of the same way. Black has too much bass, red leans toward neutral with a nice bass kick.
 
Still too much distortion in it for me though.

I just pulled the trigger on the dm2.

BTW I just found out that bigbargainonline (eBay store) is the same seller as penonaudio! #eBaybucks!

The Ebay store normally includes a shipping charge that Penon itself does not have.

Im in love with my hk1. The more I listen to it the better it gets. Super rich sound bordering on boomy. Easy to drive. It almost has the same sound signature as the monster gratitude. Gratitude might be a bit better in the mids and treble but not much. These are epic, they completely destroy the piston 2.0 IMHO and are my pick for best $20 iem.

The sound IS NOT for everyone. However, if you want good isolation, deep sub bass that doesn't bleed into the midrange, and minimal sibilance with a nice sparkle at the end, I implore you to try them.

I just pulled the trigger on the dm2. If the hk1 sounds this good for 20 bucks, I'm expecting the dm2 to whisk me away to a audiophilic dimension I've never been to before lol

Nah, their Penon store actually include the normal shipping charge on ebay. Sidy DM2 is $59 on their ebay page... plus $6 shipping. Guess how much is the "free shipping" DM2 on Penonaudio.com?

I compared prices. There is minimal or no difference once you add up the shipping and cost. However I would assume we would be supporting penonaudio.com more by purchasing from the actual website, as there is no middle man, and thus no eBay fees for Mr Penon to pay

Mochill, what filter removable mod?
 
Twister, how are the DM2's in the comfort department? Seems like me ordering the Narmoo S1's may have fell through, so looking for some others. 

 You said there were slippery, is that just for putting them into the ears or them sliding out of them.
