Well I just bought a dual BA, the VC1000, after a long search about it. Hasn't arrived yet.

But from what I've read DN-2000 doesn't have that strong (in quantity) bass. People say DN-1000 has more quantity, although less tightness.

I like the KC06 bass. When I first put them it was bloated. After some hard burn in (laptop at max vol with hard house music during the night) it is now quite tight and punchy. Though like it has been said up in thread, it doesn't carry much weight. I believe this could have quite more mid bass than sub bass...Is it? But I can feel deep sub bass is lacking.

Been reading about DN-2000 for some time. And after joker gave them a 9.3 they got even more my interest for a bigger pull of the trigger some time from now. Got Altone 200, B3 pro 1, VSD3S, KC06, and A71 and VC1000 are on the way. Trying to find out what I really like before going to a more expensive and 'pro' IEM.

KC06 are a very interesting IEM. And DN-2000 looks it has similar traces... I could be wrong of course, I'm basing myself on what I've been reading.

"KC06A has the core technologies of KC series( including dynamic unit system combined with balanced armature..."
"...dynamic unit system combined with balanced armature..." (in reference to the KC06)

These have dynamic drivers, right? The wording on Ostry's site is weird. They're probably just trying to describe the sound sig. Engrish!

haha yeah their english is funny. u should read their moto: "O's life always try". i was like o.O that doesn't make any sense lol. and i think their website is just using google translate or something, but the iems sound good and that's what matter lol.

Chinese company sites near always got these weird typos in them, it is pretty funny although confusing at times. The kc06a are the same size as the kc06 and if they could squeeze a ba along with a dd that would of been a feat for that size lol.

I emailed the fine folk over at Ostry for clarification, and here's their response:
 

Hi
I am happy to hear that about the driver unit.  Strictly speaking,it is a dyamic driver ,but it is not just a simple dyamic driver. You know ,there are some IEMs made by dyamic driver plus one or two balanced armture,but they are just plus. 
 
We have made the driver unit which is fundamental fusion.it is a audio system because of the mechanical structure and the diaphragm material .
 
It is just one driver unit but can get both the sound characteristic and advantage of the dynamic driver and the balance armature. So every kc06/A user from the world have ask us why it sound like the dynamic driver PLUS a balanced armature. 
 
Because of the language problem, we have not tell the reason to our users from all over the world. Thanks for your asking. We also beg you to tell other users about that.

Already figured that but was still curious.
 
Anyway, I'm really digging these. They carry a ton of air and have this crazy delicate note presentation...not that they're soft or polite necessarily, just that they do their thing with a lot of finesse.

 

[mdiogofs]

Absolutely, they sound really great for their price. The only minus is isolation. But with more isolation I don't think they would be so airy.

Anyone tried the FiiO E12A bass boost with KC06? It could pair nice because the KC06 has more mid bass than sub bass. I think they are missing just a little (only very little) sub bass to my tastes.
 
These KC06 are quite amazing, really like their sound and signature. A lot of clarity for the price. I also get a very nice fit over ear.

You can try Inks' tape mod for more subbass:
 

Great, I just find the KC06A to be a tad sibilant. Best tips for that are the Meelec m-duo short triflangles.

KC06 has smoother treble but the bass isn't as good, but you can tape the nozzle vent and poke a hole for better subbass.

I think I like the KC06 a bit more but it's a close call.

Do you know where I can buy the Meelec M duo short triflangles?

 

[mdiogofs]

I've tried before taping the nozzle vents...But i never thought of doing a hole in them lol So, taped with no hole added a lot of sub bass, too much for me. Yeah, the hole gets smaller...Thanks, I'll try!

I have been enjoying my KC06 for over half a year now but the connection has become intermittent. The sounds just cuts out and only when i play with the position
 
of the jack connector do i get both channels back. This happens on both my Samsung phone and Fiio X3. I dont have this problem with any other headphones or iems.
 
 
Anybody else experience this?

Yes, I've had a channel cut out on one of my pairs, due to a loose / broken connection near the plug.

Thanks...now i dont feel alone! I sent mine back for an exchange and the one i received is doing the same thing immediately. Not sure if i did not get
 
sent back the same one i sent (accidently?).

How unfortunate, this shouldn't happen with a brand-new replacement pair. Have you tried it with different sources?
 
Anyway, if you have to send these back again, you'll almost pay the price of a new pair on shipping alone. Imo they ought to send you another replacement at no cost.

It's probably due to stuffing them in that tiny pouch...were we just supposed to carry around extra tips in that little thing or what?
