Yeah i think they're a pretty safe bet. I've been wanting to try them since the Pro was well received, so a little retune to Hbb's specs should be a winner and that coupon price was too hard to pass up.
I'm not usually one to comment on graphs, but the tuning on the PR2 looks incredible. Especially the 16-17kHz boost, I expect this to sound very detailed (planar driver and artificial detail from the tuning).

Lol after i replied to you i realised i was talking about the Dunu Kima :D
I have the CRA somewhere, what exact is the mod? Thanks
You can try EQing your iem into them, maybe you'll like it

It sound quite easy and effortless in all type of music, perhaps going with a powerful dap always a good thing. The musical impression is quite amazing, maybe the headroom is not that large, only about a small room but it sound open so you'll likely ignore small headroom feeling. You can probally listen like 8-12 hours with it, easily
The mod that i mentioned

well, i was waiting for early impression and more availability in my region before buying it
it suppose to be the-hyped-BlonBl03's successor and i haven't touch Bl03 or any of its siblings. So curiosity is there

but yeah, PR2 discount ate that iem buying slot
Right now I have the Audeze open back M-100, Dunu sa6 MK2, and am working on getting an Aful P8 soon. I have plenty of stuff to listen to. I tried the Blon 03 but wasn't a huge fan. The issue is there are so many iems that are coming out like lighting fast it's crazy. HBB has the blon colab then the new KZ Planar one. I kind of think he is shooting himself in the foot by having a few too many collabs so quickly. Although I don't blame him. I just can't keep up!

@AmericanSpirit will you listen new Aroma Flagship?

If available at Japanese earphone store when I visit this fall🤔 But Aroma usually charges too high price so I wouldn’t buy it though, especially after knowing AuR and SR.

ROFLMAO! I thought P5 Awful and Blon Fat Girl were going to hold the poorly translated name award forever. But this an the Wan'er have given me doubts.

Anyone looking for a job as an English speaker in Chinese marketing? :astonished:
I still love the FAT GIRL, but I dared not post it on my facebook for fear of lynch mobs lol

Kinda interesting considering many other brands (Kinera, TRN, KBear, SeeAudio) are spending quite the effort trying to have cheaper pseudo planar alternative and have to engineer a way to deal with its drawback while maintaining good price...

and here we have KZ who simply goes, "here's a $39 true planar".
Order volume, loss leader, or govt subsidies? Or in any combination? This might explain how KZ can afford to lowball price a "real PL" IEM.

It worked. OMG, 13.2mm planar IEM for 30 dollars......

Hope the sound is good.
Thew sound will be "good for the price". The evergreen phrase for the budget segment. "good for the price". You'll enjoy it....for about 3 days.

Thanks. However thin note weight it an issue for me. Also forgot to mention that the bigger the stage the better.


Its impossible to get the N5005 here in India.


i felt the note weight on the Dunu was not to my liking.


i am not looking for a treble head set :) the right note weight, no rolled off sub bass and a gigantic stage is what i am looking for i guess.
I'll sell you mine and ship it to India....for a price. Message me if you dare?

Wow a proper measurement!

Unfortunately I have no exposure to ISN line ups.

DTE500’s treble extensions looks astonishing from 7kh all the way to 15khz, no wonder😄
