Glad eric provided the impressions. Sounds like the Doppios are already similar in sound to my very balanced UE 700 or my old FA DBA02. There's a reason I retired my 700 and sold my DBA02...not my preferred sound signature. The lack of sub bass and even thin mid bass just loses me.

The long awaited (two weeks to the day I ordered them) arrival of my DUNU DN-1000. Burn in next. Impressions and comparisons to follow.

Happy to report back that those Pistons new version are no joke.  after sixty hours of burn in and
changing the tips to comply 400s foam, they are ALIVE! They sounded very good out my C3 on
psytrance and chanting music with female vocalist.  then i hooked up my Ray Samuels Emmiline to
them out of a Dragonfly v1.2 dad and BOOM they became very serious sound instruments! voices clear
reverb alive, ENTHEOSOUND s  Gaia Sophia album heard like never before!  i am truly blown away by
this discovery.  they seem to scale up with better dad resolution and power mightily. So good i ordered an
extra set for the now 15.00 ebay price. this is no hype iem....but the extended burn in was necessary to hear this
level of sound from the Pistons...

+1. I just put some DUNU tips on mine. and the sound did just what you said! They came ALIVE! Wider soundstage and just more lively. But the DUNU are on a completely different plane of musical existence, right out of the box.

  Let me know how you find them wearing them straight down (Comfort / weight-wise)

They are only slightly bigger than the Piston, a touch smaller than the OM Audio, with the same length of nozzle as the OM, so straight down they are comfy, and they aren't heavy at all. They sit flush and don't move even when I headbang to Demon Hunter

Good to hear. They really do sound like an ideal upgrade for me in terms of the music I listen to most often.

Cool! And $15? Cooler! Seeing as it's Friday night, I might just have to have a glass of wine (that will cost a reasonable portion of the Piston lol) and lose all Piston resistance! Would you mind posting the link drblue? Thanks!

Thanks for the links, Mackem. I don't listen to Kpop, but I really enjoyed listening to the samples you sent, and to be honest, I really liked that Girl's Day - Female President song and the sub bass really was fun and deep, and the details were just crystal clear! Plus I've never seen so many ridiculously HOT Korean chicks all in one place ever lol The DUNU DN-1000 is FOR REAL!!

Thanks. These things are pretty engaging and detailed. Bass is perfect and sub bass is sweet. Loving this.

Don't worry - even if he fails I'm still standing strong and resisting all hype as usual.
