Finally got around to reviewing the Dunu Luna. It's been a long time since I've been this impressed with a single-DD IEM. It's every bit as good as the flagship status suggests. As always, there are a couple things that can be a point of contention for some people, mainly not bass-head enough sub-bass and slightly colored upper-mids (nothing too egregious though for the most part). However, the highly textured bass response that's got superb speed to boot, coupled with a tonally perfect lower-mids/treble representation and full-size headphone-like imaging leaves a lasting impression. Please have a read here: https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/dunu-luna.24311/review/23771/

Also, check out our video review of it. I'm fairly new to YouTube and basically got no clue with videography for the most part, but this is a fun side-project and I'd like to polish up the skills as I go along.

How benevolent of you to "let" her wear her earphones as she wants. With that kinda statement, you kinda sound like a bit of a control freak, dude. Leave her be to enjoy her music and her stuff, as she feels fit to do so. It's not your job to tell her how she should use or wear her gear. If she likes the way it sounds how she's wearing it, then leave her alone. Everyone's ears are different and are sensitive in different areas.

Are you espousing driving a right hand driven car on the right side of the road?

A bit of an update on the Penon Orb. These are the 2nd in house designed and tuned IEMs from Penon. The first being their Spheres. This is the first shot of them with the cable that will be included. I have high expectations of these since they managed to get a full range tuning out of a single BA in the Spheres. I expect these to have even a better sound. In any case these will have a launch on Penon site very soon.

Will give you guys in early impression of them once I get a set.

Um, that's not a Tin audio . Curves, angled nozzle. Ergonomics do exist!


Another one I hadn't heard of is the Ibasso IT00(~$65)...

Got you @jant71. iBasso IT00 Unboxing + First Impression. Very impressed from initial listen. At its price point of 79 USD, quite a no-brainer. Enjoy & Happy Listening, as always. Take care and stay safe everyone!

I see you have them pictured with the IT01, are they very similar in sound? The IT01 (non s) can be had for ~$70 from time to time on Amazon US, which is the same price as the IT00. Just wondering if one is superior to the other

I will burn in the IT00 first before giving my opinion but so far, so good. Cheers!

I see you have the starfield in the picture. How do these compare?

I will be comparing IT00 to IT01 & Starfield in my full review. Comparisons to other IEMs will be on request. As of first impression, I prefer the IT00 over Starfield. I will go into details after burning in the IT00.

Finally got done writing about the new NF audio NM2.
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/nf-audio-nm2.24401/reviews#item-review-23777

These have become my $100 champ. With the requirement that they need a good aftermarket copper cable. Been using the relatively cheap NiceHCK C-16 on them with great results. It is a damn shame the stock cable enhances brightness of the sound on these like they do for the NA1. Them stiff ear guides dig into the back of your ears. I compare the NA1 and the NA2 against the NM2 on the review toward the bottom.

For the price it don't get much better. These have been a nice surprise for me.

@thebigredpolos @rogthefrog I have tested the IT00 to both IT01 & Starfield. In general, the IT00 is less warm with quicker bass decay, clearer midrange and crispier treble. There is greater soundstage width too. Even though the IT00 has less burn-in, I already find it to be better than the IT01 & Starfield. It is a clear winner IMO. Very impressed. Looking forward to how the IT00 will sound once it has over 100 hours of burn-in. I personally think it is a no-brainer at its price point. Cheers & have a great weekend ahead!

Nice to see some lower number and cheaper priced models come out and better what came before even if they were priced more. That is how is should be more often than it is.

Yea definitely. I am really impressed with the SQ of IT00 at its price point. Just brilliant.

Interesting! Are they an upgrade or just slightly better?

Upgrade definitely. Even with not much burn-in, the presentation is so much clearer with wider soundstage.

I was bothered by the driver flex problem on IT01, it was solved on IT00 ???
