I’ve been a long time fan of Dita and I am excited about the ‘Bumblebee’.

*Its been a long time since I started a thread, I think.

Well, thanks for starting this thread! Really looking forward to reading more about these, as I have become quite the fan of Dita since I recently (finally) got my hands on their IEMs for the first time (the Fealty). Thanks to @flinkenick for letting me borrow them. I will send them back. Eventually. :p

Sitting on the fence about the dita project 71
+ Great iem, value for money, excellent cable, pretty organic sounding
- Bass is pretty slow (making it sound plasticky and bass might sounds congested at times, hence interfere with the other frequencies)
- In addition, value of dita products also fall off significantly over some time (look at the price of truth cable, or even fidelity and fealty now in less than a year after release)

Related products.

The Oslo cable in two pin and MMCX with thr Dita awesome plug


Listening now with the Campfire Audio Solaris and iBasso DX200 and Amp 8.


Great looking cable. How does it compare to the Truth cables in terms of ergonomics? I have just spent some time with the Truth cables and while I loved the sound, the springy ergonomics were a bit of a challenge (especially when trying to take pictures). The Fat cable of the Twins is a huge improvement there and a joy to use. Is the Oslo similar?

Pretty flexible so ergonomics are a whole lot better than the Truth cable...yes the Truth cable can be a challenge some time
