DUNU DN-Titan 1 Dynamic IEM Earphones with Top of the Line Dynamic Transducer & Nano Class Titanium Diaphragm

Bought mine May 2015 and they have just started cutting out now. I use these nearly every day. Used for daily bus commute to work and stuff in my bag until I need them again. So nearly 2 years life span with normal/heavy usage.

Well packaged, good build and great fitting.There is lot of detail across the whole of the range. The bass is tight and goes quite deep without bloom that doesn't affects other frequency ranges. The Mids I consider to be on the dry side and lacking in lushness. This probably comes from mid highs being slightly elevated. The treble is the least likeable part of theses phones and ultimately why I returned them. Although they are not particularly sibilant they still go high enough to be fatiguing after while. I found them grating at high volumes. Also these phones are not particularly sensitive so are a little harder to drive using volume capacity limited phones.Overall great detail, clarity and bass but too dry and clinical sounding for my liking.I prefer a slightly more warmer signature that delivers more of lush Mids and treble that has sparkle without fatigue.

Dunu Titan 1 are the very best earphones that I have found so far. Update after three months use. Second update after 5 months.I was totally new to the Dunu brand in November 15 and liked the reviews for these earphones.I was trying to find the best solution for using my iPhone 6s at night listening to music in bed. The reviews generally said these are medium bass but high treble with female vocals accentuated.That's fine as I like the female voice but don't let that put you off as the male voice is good too, see below.I have tried about 18 different earphones (not headphones) of recent ranging from about £60 to £600. Tried Sennieser IE800, Shure 535 and Audio Technica ATH-CKR10 with similar but dual 13mm drivers. (Later Dunu 2000, Titan3, Titan 5)After checking the fit of all the supplied earbuds on my new DUNU's, I chose the standard silicone ones (they have done their homework well for Mr Average).The ear bud sits well in my ear whilst feeling unobtrusive but the clever bit for Dunu is that the massive (but tiny) sound driver sits in a larger disk which is a little unusual but it works. The small disk fits into my ear and combined with the loosely fitting earbud it secures them to my ears for all night sleeping or running without feeling that there is anything in your ears after the first hour or two.The sound quality of these Dunu Titan 1's is unbelievable for the price with their massive driver. £89 for me. At this moment in time I would have paid £800 had I heard them and tried them in a shop which is very hard to do these days. But that is how good they sound to me. I don't know any technicalities about headphones but I can play the piano and know good sounding music and voices from the rest.The detail in the music, the full Bass, Mid and Treble all there. Tiny detail that was not noticeable before.These Dunu earphones are better sounding to me than anything that is out their right now at any price and are my current earphones of choice for pleasure listening all the time. Try them and please post a reply if you agree or not.Update:These earphones definitely sound better than ever with more use which is more amazing as they were so good as new, but they obviously seem to benefit from being burnt in for a while.I now use no EQ setting on my iPhone 6s and it seems to provide the best sound experience for me that I have ever heard and much better than any very expensive normal headphones. Plenty of bass, midd's and treble.I also reiterate that the ear fit for me is near perfect and they stay in all night without you knowing they are there.After three months use I have now purchased a second pair of Titan 1's to make sure that I am not without any if one pair break as they have become so fantastically wonderful sounding after three months use. They just keep getting better with use.Update: Mid April 2016. After purchasing Dunu Titan 3 and 5 and testing them extensively I have now sent them both back as they have not proven to be any near as good as my Titan 1's.I now worry terribly that I may never be able to keep the sound of these earbuds for ever so I may need to order further ones to last me out. But I now worry that the newer ones will not be as good. Lets hope they are.Message to Dunu. Please stop messing about and just bring these Dunu Titan 1's to the masses just how they are as they are brilliant.

Pro's: beautifully designed. Lots of metal (always great to see). Very comfortable with such a large choice of buds. Great hard case. Don't fall out of the ears when running. Overall high quality - I would say very very durable and should last a long time (unsurprising with DUNU). Lovely red and blue rings to distinguish right from left very quickly. Very useful and well designed accessories - all of mine are in use. Don't see why people are saying they're heavy - they are not!Con's: some may find the poor isolation and sound leakage a problem but if you listen to music quietly (or just don't care if people hear your loud music) then you'll be fine. This is mostly due to the large number of vents around the earpieces showing that leakage and isolation were sacrificed for that huge titanium coated driver to deliver its full sound quality (More detail into this in other reviews and headphone sites).Since the metal earpieces are cast (stainless steel), they can be easily scratched, but only with tiny tiny scratches noticeable only on close up inspection, this may annoy some of the more anal people like me!Also noticed the logos on the earpieces look like they may be the first things to wear off over time due to their positioning (but this hasn't happened yet).Due to the large number of holes on the earpieces, I wouldn't feel safe wearing them in the rain even though the holes are protected from the inside.Only a one year warranty.Note I am being very finicky and as harsh as possible with these cons so don't let them put you off!Sound: bassheads will need to ramp up the bass but you're in for a treat once you have! Seems to have a rather flat response with a little roll-off in the treble but fantastic mids. Overall quite well balanced but the flat-ish response lets you play around more with the equaliser to suit your needs. My needs involve a lot of bass and even though many reviews don't praise the Titans for their bass, I managed to get the perfect bass (one of the best I've had) with software on my device (Viper4android). Furthermore, other reviews are right when they say the bass is well balanced and extends into the sub-bass seamlessly without muddying up the mids at all! There are many expert reviews out there that will go into much more detail about the Titans and 'sound fidelity' have graphs for frequency response, square wave response etc for all you nerds but as a general summary, the clarity of sound is staggering and even more so for this price!In general these are the best in-ear earphones I've had and highly recommend them as long as you take good care of them and use the case!

Go buy the Fiio EX 1. Fiio took them over and are selling them for £50 which is more reflective of their sound and i don't mean that in a bad way. They are the exact same earphone, I've had both to compare.At £90-100 they are over priced. They are a great sounding IEM, huge soundstage and good detail in the mids. Highs though can be very aggressive and tiring and pretty fatiguing. Bass is more mid bass, and lacks weight or depth.
