Salem, Oregon Reporting in! Interested to see the evolution of the Titan line! Too bad I don't think they will be around when I have the Fiio X7 with me :/
 

 

[nmatheis]

Hmm... Are you ready for three reviews at once? I just did that, and it was exhausting!

 

[Vividcard]

I think they will be spaced out just enough that I should be okay. But that being said if there is someone in line that doesn't have anything going on, Please, let them take some time with them instead. Don't want to hog all the tour opportunities.

Spoiler: Titanic NSFW

Hi all,
 
Unless you've been living under a rock, it'll come as no surprise to you that the Dunu TITAN 1 was one of the most well-received IEM so far in 2015. Well, Dunu wasn't content to rest on their laurels. They've already redesigned the TITAN, with two new models coming out soon. I just posted reviews for each, the TITAN 3 & TITAN 5. Now that I'm finished with my listening, I'm going to give you guys a chance to put them through their paces and let the Head-Fi community know what you think of them!
 
 
TITAN 3

 
Description:
Already awarded the Hi-Res AUDIO certification, Titan 3 utilizes a 13mm diameter single dynamic transducer with titanium diaphragm. Exhaustedly tuned by our design team, the titanium diaphragm’s signature transparency is pushed to its limit. Bass is fast and with adequate quantity and clean impact. Vocal is full, sweet, soulful and clearly defined. Treble is well extended, crisp and smooth with superb instrument positioning and detail reproduction. All in all, Titan 3 is best for vocal.

TITAN 5

 
Description:
Already awarded the Hi-Res AUDIO certification, Titan 5 utilizes a 13mm diameter single dynamic transducer with titanium diaphragm for its excellent transient and clarity as well as ability to handle high input power. Bass has good quantity and deep reach. Mid-range has clean and sweet vocal. High-range is smooth and detailed. By combining an analytical presentation, wide soundstage, accurate imaging, and well defined layering, Titan 5’s lifelike performance will make music much more enjoyable.

Just waiting on the "comfort accessory", so I can update my review and then they'll be in the mail.

Pray tell what this "Comfort accessory" is.

 

[nmatheis]

I'll only know when the package arrives. I'm sure it isn't anything earth shattering

I'm just more intrigued as to what they could be sending to increase comfort with the IEMS... maybe different tips?

 

[nmatheis]

Not in today's mail. Maybe tomorrow will bring THE BIG REVEAL :wink_face:

 

[_PsiFire_]

Anything about this "big reveal" yet?

 

[nmatheis]

Funny you ask @_PsiFire_...
 
Look what I just got in the mail. Emphasis on just got! ChinaPost isn't known for it's speed, lol.

 
Here's the final piece of the puzzle I was waiting for before kicking off the tour!
 
The comfort accessories that will be included with the final retail versions just arrived, and as most of you guessed, they're ear stabilizers very similar to the ones on the DN2K. I popped them on the T3, took some pics, put them in my ears, and found they are very comfortable and hold the T3 in place very well. I've got the wee boys around today, so listening will have to wait. Once I get time, I'll grab a listen, update my review, and ship these off to @hakushondaimao, officially kicking off the tour!

Ahh, these things. I used to hate them originally. But i got to love them on my Bose IE2's... too bad the rest of that IEM sucked

 

[nmatheis]

Titans are on their way to hakushondaimao.

Next up Tom22...
