Hi, got the DM6 today and I'm digging them so far. Don't expect a very technical review though hahaha.
So far, the comparison will be mostly with my banned IEMs. As I mentioned inprevious posts (yeah, as if I was relevant enough in the forum that you are going to remember my stuff, lol), I didn't like the TRN V80, so obviously, there is a HUGE leap from them for me... but so is between the TRN and the banned ones hahaha. The fit is extremely better, they just get like molded to my ears, getting a GREAT seal from the outside as they fit like a glove, while the banned just stick a bit to the outside, with only the nozzle and the eartip in my ear. Comparing the fit to the TRN V80, again, it is better, but the difference isn't as big as with the banned ones as the TRN were more comfortable. Still, gotta try more tips both for any possible sound and comfort improvements.
The sound is better, though not by far. Of course, I need A LOT more testing but so far I'm liking it but I'm not "four times the price" liking it (which was expected, though I was hoping for "twice the price liking it", lol). I got a bit of a headache after being listening to music like for an hour with them, something I heard to happen with some IEMs... Did anyone get this with the DM6? It could be I'm under the weather today, as I have a bit of a headache and my throat is starting to bother me...
Again, I didn't like the TRN, yet the TRN cable felt a thousand times better than the banned IEMs and DM6's cable feels a million times better than the TRN's.
As a side note, i tested a bit with my job's laptop and I could hear a bit of grey sound in the background, something I never had with any other gear I used there (RHA ma750, Sony WH 1000XM2, the banned ones and a few more under 50€ IEMs)... Guess these are either more sensitive or just provide more data hahaha.

Glad your enjoying them! Btw how do you find the vocals, slightly recessed or inline with everything?Hi, got the DM6 today and I'm digging them so far. Don't expect a very technical review though hahaha.

So far I'm liking them, but out of the three, it was the last one to get my attention. The bass and the treble did immediatly so, to answer the question, yes, they are fine. They are fine but fall behind the spotlight. If this makes sense haha.
I have the same sentiments about the TRN v80 that you do, good right up to the lower treble where it breaks down in a huge way. I really do not like the grainy, over aggressive nature of the v80. On the BQEYZ I have found all of their models to exhibit better control over the treble than the TRN. The K2 and K2c are near neutral while the KB1 and BQ3 are more V shaped. The BQ3 has a forward bass, mildly recessed lower mids that build back up and plateau with the lower treble being roughly equal to the bass boost. True treble drops back to avoid harshness with a bit of a bump at 6kHz and 12kHz to add some sparkle and air back in without sibilance or stridency. In the overall, I think if you like the basic sound of the TRN v80 but hate the poor rendering of the treble, the BQ3 will probably be very much to your liking.
Hope that helps.

I have yet to find any of the true wireless earphones that sound good and are reliable. Usually they either sound like crap but the tech is good, of they sound good but the tech is flaky and half baked.
I’m waitimg in anticipation for the TRN adapters. They will be able to work on anything 0.75/0.78, so the sound part is not their concern. All they’ll have to concentrate on is getting the tech right. TRN has already proven they can deliver products with solid Bluetooth connectivity and signal reliability (BT3 and BT10).
So I have faith that they should be able to pull it off with their upcoming true wireless product

you're not far off, lol
this is one of the promo pics for it (not sure why they didn't use the yellow one to pose with the player)
other than the funky look, it does seem like they designed it with care, only 1 product on their store so I imagine its their debut model. With the $100 range being as congested as it is, having another choice won't hurt

I knew it! I had a funny feeling they were going for (or inspired by) that retro 80s porta-fi look.
Vintage is the new hipster.

I owned K5, 401 and K6, to me, K6 is definitely the best (of course, not only because of the price)
Detail level: K6=K5>401
Bass level: K6=401>K5
Basically, in my opinion K6 is the bass improved version of K5.

Other than looks, they appear the same. Maybe tuning is different?
