It's been a long time.. but with limited funds, I've kind of put iems on hold, but today I ordered the Titan S, and I sure appreciate the lower price. You know you've been away when reviews are comparing iems with ones you are not familiar with . Mind you, the last pair I got was the 17th Edition in 2019, so it's only been 3 years really. I think it's fair to say I really like DUNU. Anyway... just looking forward to trying something new. Hope you are all well.
Hey Galactic Federation,
it's Vulkan sound demo time. I matched it against the Moondrop Variations as I have no worthy Hybrid for this comparison at hand.
Personally I find the Vulkan has the overall better tuning. Sub bass extension goes to the Variations but that's it.

Wow, thanks for this comparison! I understand now what redcarmoose was trying to put into words about the soundstaging and separation of the Vulkan. Compared to the Variations, it seems that the Vulkan almost cancels the center channel signals and pushes everything out. Losing some of that centeredness is a bit jarring to me. I think I would have to lean to the Variations with its more cohesive presentation. But the Vulkan is an interesting listen!

Take all sound demos with a grain of salt. Real life listening is always a different experience. This is only a approximation. When I listen to my own demos I'm like "Nah this Vulkan sound better than here in this demo. It's all subjective. Thanks for the feedback.
I see you own the Pinnacle PX. So imagine a much easier to drive IEM with better bass a bit less treble emphasis or better balanced, Just as technical if not more so. I havent heard my Pinnacle PX in a long time so I am just going by memory.. But I have a feeling you will like your purchase quite a bit.
Dynamic IEMs nowadays in the sub $100 class have surpassed dynamics from yester year that was sold for $200 easily. Titan S is one of them. Let us know how that turned out for you.
Thanks for this.. I read your message and just had to tell you that i actually used the Pinnacle's on my way home yesterday. I barely ever use them, but man i actually came to realise what "boring" really is.. Don't get me wrong, they are great, and very technical sounding, and nice clear uppers - but boring indeed - i favour every other iem i have over the pinnacle...and every other pair happen to be a pair of DUNU's. When i would go back to the P1/PX in the past, i was almost always blown away each time at how clean they were, but after not using them in a while - I realised...boring. DUNU presented me all the details while leaving the "boring" out. But what you're telling me has me excited for the titans.
All my cables are MMCX though, and i just bought some extra MMCX cables (that will also fit my DN-2002 even though one earpiece is on it's way). RIP.

Got a problem hope you can help me out with. Have ibasso 300 with the amp 13 card that’s updated to newest firmware version. I have Dunu sa6 plugged in with the Dunu 3.5mm pro adapter. I have normal volume in one ear and barely any volume in the other. Is the issue the adapter is “balanced?” I tried a set of headphones and they work fine. Thanks all.

My belated take on the Dunu Falcon Pro, which I found to grow on me over time.
The weakest link is the lower-midrange, which can sound drowned out in bassy tracks and lack articulation. Other than that - solid pair of IEMs given the price range.

Nice review. I really hope Dunu is scheming on a revised version of the Falcon Pro with the Vernus tuning. As far as I can tell they fixed just about everything wrong with the FP. The bass is tamed but still robust, the lower mids stand out more and the upper mids are absolute butter.
