Just when I thought I have heard enough great IEMs this year, the recently released Dunu Zen comes into the picture. All I can say is wow. Very emotional and controlled sound with excellent level of energy. There is a very nice enveloping feeling with holographic soundstage. Utterly impressive.

@DUNU-Topsound - any plans for EU stockists?

How does it compare to the LUNA?

Intrigued.

Zen is THE one I am awaiting for most eagerly!

I had no doubt but it’s nice to have actual first impressions from most trusted source

I work in a logisitc company, if it helps to shine some light, our traditional Christmas volume begun back in April and haven't stopped.

Add a 2 week to any express shipping and 1 months to standard shipping going International.

Indeed. We've spent a lot of time this year trying to placate customers about shipping delays (with minimal success). It's no one's fault in particular --- just the way the cookie crumbles these days.

Connoisseur of connoisseurs. Hats off to you, my man!

(Just to clarify to other people why our minds are blown: we currently do not have review units in the hands of anyone in the international community so far. None of our international staff has even seen or listened to ZEN. @audio123 must have pre-ordered the very first batch from China and had it shipped over, which is all kinds of intense!)

@DUNU-Topsound - any plans for EU stockists?

Over the past couple of months, we've added a couple of distributors that service several EU countries exclusively. However, they are reluctant to stock higher-priced products. We'll continue to work with them to see how they wish to proceed.

Zen spotted in MasterPro, Shum Shui Po, HK, didnt have time to audition tho :/ next week perhaps... costs more than its 700$ usd list price tho (around 5700 hkd sticker price)

Always fun anticipating a new model with a head of steam going for it, excited about the ZEN release!

Any one who have heard of this, can you tell what the feel of 1.8T magnet for the sound.

At the price point Zen is at, I easily pick it over my Xelento.

What about IE800S?

In terms of overall sonic performance, I take it over IE 800 S too. The Zen is an exceptional all rounder and the best part is its incredible value. Next, I want to mention the thing about IE 800 S is that regardless of price, it is the No.1 undisputed single DD IEM for soundstage solely if powered well. Since its release in 2017, no single DD IEMs (Luna, Xelento, T8iE/MK II, T9iE, Atlas, Vega/2020, 1695/97 Ti, Dream XLS, A8000, Major, VR1, etc) can rival the soundstage of IE 800 S and the IE 800 S is a mainstay in any collection just for its soundstage. Back to the Zen, at its price point, a 100% no brainer. Kudos to Dunu for this outstanding IEM.
Verdict: Winner

Thanks, now Zen is quite intriguing.
Look forward for more detailed comparisons between the two.

I see the Zen on Linsoul, getting very close to pulling the trigger!
