DUNU - DaVinci

ziigaat doscinco or dunu davinci are awesome bass sets in your price rnage

It's a very subjective hobby. Everyone will have their own opinions regarding IEMs because we all hear things differently, and that's totally fine. Personally, I have the Davinci ranked very low in my ranking list because I do think the bass is too boomy and muddy compared to its peers like the Volume S, Mangird Tea Pro, Estrella, Dynaquattro and so on. I also think that the treble is weird because in some tracks it's too peaky and in others it's too dull. I even bought a second one after selling the first one since I wanted to give it a second chance. That being said, there are a lot of people who love the Davinci to the point where they think it's one of the best IEMs of 2024. It's just very subjective. At the end of the day, if you're happy with it, then that's all that matters. Only you know what you like.

I can not stand the Harman tuning even though this tuning is very popular with many people. My tuning preference is very similar to the HBB tuning. I prefer the HBB tuning's 8 dB rise for the simulated pinna gain in the upper midrange since the Harman tuning's 10 to 11 dB rise for the simulated pinna gain in the upper midrange is too sibilant for me. I also don't like how the Harman tuning decreases the lower midrange. Right now my two favorite IEMs under $300 are the Aful Performer 7 and the Dunu DaVinci. The Performer 7 simply is an improved version of the Performer 5 across the board. I still love my Performer 5 IEMs. At first I didn't like the DaVinci's powerful sub bass relative to the mid bass, but I found some eartips which fixed this issue such that the sub bass is in balance with the mid bass. I have some other favorite IEMs at lower price points. I was very surprised by how much I like the Kima 2 which Dunu sent to me. I knew that the Kima 2 uses single dynamic drivers, yet when I listened to the Kima 2 I could have sworn that there must also be BA drivers in the mix since the macro and micro details are very well defined. For example, the Kima 2 performs much better than the Thieaudio Legacy 2. It also dawned on me that the Kima 2 is tuned very similarly to the original Moondrop Starfield which was my first IEM, yet the Kima 2's technical performance is so much nicer to listen to in comparison to the OG Starfield. There always a very slight veil to the sound when I listened to the OG Starfield, and the Kima 2 totally rips any veil away. On the budget side, I really like the Simgot EW200 after I easily added some self adhesive mesh filters to shift the overall tuning from Harman to HBB. The transition after adding the mesh filters was splendid. The thing is that after adding the mesh filters to adjust the tuning, I was able to really appreciate the quality of the EW200's dynamic drivers. I hope that the above helps you with your research.

I really like the DaVinci after I found some third party eartips which work very well for me. The DaVinci has a boosted bass response with more sub bass than mid bass. I switched to Tangzu Tang Sancai Wide Bore eartips. These eartips slightly reduced the sub bass such that the sub bass intensity is the same as the mid bass. The bass is powerful, textured and is layered on top all other instruments in the lower midrange. This distinct layering allowed me to focus on all other instruments in the lower midrange while still being able to enjoy the powerful and textured bass. The upper midrange and the treble regions are well tuned to make long listening sessions non-fatiguing. The upper midrange has perhaps slightly too much of a dip around 6 kHz in order to make long listening sessions non-fatiguing. Some people love lots of sub bass and use the S&S eartips. Unfortunately, the S&S eartips do not fit comfortably in my small ears whereas the Tangzu Tang Sancai Balance or the Tang Sancai Wide Bore eartips fit quite well for me an make the DaVinci's nozzle flanges a non-issue for me.

My two favorite IEMs are the Aful Performer 5+2 and the Dunu DaVinci. Perhaps ask if either of these IEMs work well for metal.

Took me a couple of days to vibe with the Davinci, turns out it was all tip dependant. Spinfits ftw

Full written review of the Dunu X-Gizaudio DaVinci can be found here: https://mobileaudiophile.com/in-ear-earphones-iem-iems-reviews/dunu-x-gizaudio-davinci-review/ Dunu X-Gizaudio DaVinci Review ($299) 2DD x 4BA I hope you all are doing well. At the link provided is my full written review of the Dunu X-Gizaudio DaVinci which just so happens to be the collaborative effort of Dunu Audio and Timmy from Gizaudio. The DaVinci is a six driver hybrid iem consisting of two DD's and four BA's and Dunu has tuned this set to truly stand out against the competition in my opinion. The DaVinci is a musicality first set that’s emotionally charged with a warm and weighted sound that is wholly engaging on many levels. Truly a wonderful job by both Dunu as well as Timmy. It's built premium in & out and truly stunning to look at with its stabilized maple wood adding character and beauty to the unique faceplates. There's a lot to talk about and I try to cover it all within my review. Friends, this is a very nice set and an easy rec. Please check out my full review if the DaVinci seems like the perfect set to add to your collection. This is a nice set folks. 🎶 DaVinci Pros 🔥🔥🔥 -Build Quality is great -C’mon, this design & aesthetic is off the charts! Gorgeous! -Loaded with accessories which actually fit the price -That modular cable is DOPE, one of my favorites. -Great fit for me (I hope it is for you too), ergonomically gifted -Very cohesive across the mix -Big and full macro-dynamics -Lean-lush and rich note weight -Wonderful low-end. Deep, dense, rounded, sublime -Smooth, forward, and effortlessly musical midrange -Also a smooth treble region, good extension, non-offensive -Imaging is very easy to discern -Stage is pretty large in all ways. Wide, tall, deep but closer to the listener. 🎸 DaVinci Cons 🥶🥶 -Bass will be too much for some -Detail retrieval is only average. -Separation isn’t going to win any awards -Smoothness buffs down the contoured definition (to a slight degree) -Treble may not be as brilliant and emphasized as some may want -Analytical or neutral lovers may not be perfectly happy Full written review of the Dunu X-Gizaudio DaVinci can be found here: https://mobileaudiophile.com/in-ear-earphones-iem-iems-reviews/dunu-x-gizaudio-davinci-review/

So I love this so much. They have a 10mm DD covering only the sub-bass and they have a 8mm covering only the mid-bass. What this does is adds a sense of separation and definition. It seems to add depth to the low-end as well among other things. You don't have one DD trying to cover the entire low-end. Obviously this isn't required for a low-end to sound good either. Shoot, we have single DD's that cover the entire spectrum very well. Anyways, It isn't always done very well but Dunu did a nice job here in my opinion. Good question though.

Oh yes. I love female vocals with the DaVinci. In fact, vocals in general with this set. Dunu really did a nice job here.

100%. I've owned both. The only reason I don't have the Hype 4 anymore is because someone offered me an insane trade deal for them for some Campfire Supermoons, which I wanted to get for my dad. I went through a few replacements out of curiosity, as those were my out & about sets. I really disliked the Tea Pro & the Aful 5+2. I thought the Davinci were OK, but not up to par - I was going to go back to the Hype 4, but I was offered a fantastic deal on some Moondrop Variations & went for those instead. I own some very high end bass heavy sets - Fatfreq Maestro SE CIEM / Campfire Astrolith / Sony IER-Z1R. The Hype 4 cannot compete with these, but you can't expect them to at that price (these are all 1500-3000 sets) - but they are really bloody good for the budget & that goes beyond bass. Those are three pairs out of about 15 mostly TOTL sets of IEMs & overheads that I own. I've worked in bass music for almost 30 years although it's now more of a serious hobby. I am pretty spoilt & the cheapest two sets I will recommend to absolutely anyone are the Hype 4 & the Moondrop Variations (not a bass centric set). I wouldn't recommend the Davinci, but I think it's ok. Definitely better than the Tea Pro & the Aful 5+2, but the Hype 4 rule supreme.

When I read the stuff written in here for people such as yourself, I always think it is TERRIBLE information & I think a lot of that comes from (a) lack of real experience with audio / (b) people who can't afford more expensive gear & use the old diminishing returns thing without genuinely having spent significant time with more expensive sets. I've been professionally involved in audio & music for 30 years. I never though I'd say IEMs could be better than headphones - but in some cases, they absolutely can. These two 'rules' I often hear are are total & utter bullshit & I don't believe these are generally subjective opinions, I think this is simply how it is - 'Above $300 is diminishing returns' Firstly I can't think of an IEM I'd genuinely recommend for less than 450 - the Thieaudio Hype 4. I've just been through three of the most hyped 300-350 sets (I got rid of my Hype 4 as someone offered me a ridiculously good trade offer for some Campfire Audio Supermoon - the IEM I wanted to but for my Dad - and I wanted to try something else as a replacement); Xenns Tea Pro, Dunu Davinci & Aful 5+2. I didn't love any of them (I hated 2), and I thought the jump between even the best one (Davinci) & the Hype 4 was HUGE. These are my 'beater' pair as my main six sets are 1600-3000 & I don't want to take them out into the humid climate where I live - and again, that gap between these & the Hype 4 is huge. For me, I'd have to say that diminishing returns GENERALLY begins at around 1300. BUT then you have the Campfire Astrolith are $2200 & you just won't find anything better that does this particular thing at anything less. Of course you can be a dumbass & spend $3000 on a pair that is dogshit. ---- The other 'rule' that I think is absolute bollocks is - Speakers > Headphones > IEMs ESPECIALLY the Headphones > IEMs part. This 'rule' is years old & IEMs have come a very long way in the last few years. Certain IEMs can do things that headphones cannot & vice versa. As far as I'm concerned, they're now on an even keel. Speakers... I think the sheer expense & amount of room required to get something that sounds even as good as a TOTL IEM or headphone is wild. Of course if you have unlimited money & can throw 100k++ and have a room in your house acoustically treated, it's going to sound unbelievable. But that's out of reach for most.

I previously owned the 5 & thought they were excellent value. I recently got the 5+2 as my beaters & my musical preferences often involve heavy snares. I don't have silibance issues (Final A8000 are an all time top 5 IEM for me & people seem to have serious silibance issues with those), and this is beyond just that anyway... but those more prominent highs are absolutely horrendous. It's like a a nail being smashed by a hammer right beside my ear... it also comes through very unrefined so it's just a very heavy, nondescript noise which sounds terrible. I was really disappointed & managed to get rid of them quickly. I'm seeing a lot of them popping up on local 2nd hand listings now & it's a race to the bottom with sellers. They can be had for sub $100 2nd hand where I am now, so I don't seem to be alone in not being a fan. It's a shame they didn't just do what they do with the 5 with more weight on the lower end given the 2 DD's. It's the only time in 50+ IEMs I have ever had to push the treble deep into minus on my Mojo 2 - I usually push it up a bit. Still sounds bad. Much better off spending a little more & getting the Giz/Dunu Davinci, which are my beaters now... traded the Aful 5+2 + equivalent $100 cash - glad I got them early & moved quickly.

The Davinci are significantly better.

Right now, the KBEar KB02 with TangSancai Widebore tips are really solid at their price point. I'm testing the TRI Draco, and it isn't bad. A little warm with a pretty steep treble roll-off, but the pertinent info for gamimg is there and the spatial imaging is solid. The ThieAudio Elixir with Whizzer ET100 tips does quite well, but the stage is a little narrow. I've had good luck with the KiwiEars Quintet EQd above 1500Hz to a replica of the Tea2 squig. Stage outside your head, which is nice. That EQ takes care of the Quintet's sibilance around 6K, too. I still haven't tried the EM6L, and doubt I ever will. Too much treble. Others seem to really like it for gaming. The Dunu DaVinci is similarly tuned to the Tea Pro, but I haven't had a chance to really put my pair to the test in gaming despite loving them for music. You could give the TRN White Tiger a try.

One of my personal favorite IEMs is the Thieaudio Elixir. It just has delicious mids that follow a guitar amp's breakup patterns incredibly well. Not over-emphasized in the bass, but accurate and quick. Metal and prog are fantastic in these, as are aggressive synths in electronic stuff. I just love dynamic drivers, and they picked a good one. Its cheaper counterpart would have to be the KBEar KB02 as far as mids go. That thing, for $40, just beats ass. A solid runner-up would have to be the Dunu DaVinci. Big smooth bass, smooth present treble, and polite but naturally timbred mids ever so slightly recessed. My daily driver over ears are the Neumann NDH-30. As a reference and mixing monitor replacement, they're fantastic. Favorite headphones I've ever put on my head. Granted, when you get into IEMs you have to take into account your own personal HRTF and pinna gain. IEMs have to compensate for pinna gain through tuning given they bypass the outer part of your ear. What I hear in one set may not be exactly what you hear in the same set due to differences in our individual anatomy.

I appreciate the Tea Pro for a lot of things, but for me the treble presentation was enough to make one or both of my ears ring at different times during the period that I owned them. The BA timbre was also a bit much through the high mids and lower treble for my taste. For gaming they were absolutely amazing for competitive play. I could hear everybody and pinpoint them exactly where they were. I've never run across better. However, I couldn't justify keeping a $360 pair of headphones just to play competitive games every now and again. Got the Dunu DaVinci and I gotta say... 90% of everything the Tea Pro is good at, the DaVinci also is... and then the other 10% it's better. The mids are more natural on the DaVinci, and I love that kind of accuracy, plus I could make out more detail (a good recording displaying guitar string fret rattle or the skipping of a bow across double bass strings) over the Tea Pro. I'm glad that you found something that you enjoy, though. For many people this seems to be a very very good set, and I had similarly high expectations when I purchased them for myself.

Seconded on DaVinci if you like a nice sound. If you just want *BASS*, try the 7Hz Legato. The Aful Explorer with Final Type-E tips also basses well, but those are the only tips that make the bass actually worth something.

I'm the opposite on all of your choices. I love the DaVinci, and returned the Tea Pros. The Tea Pros BA timbre and hot treble (caused my ears to ring) just didn't cut the mustard. In comparison, the DaVinci was VERY natural in the mids, has pleasant treble, and loads of acceptable, non-monotonous bass. The Cincotres was another return for me. Awful unfixable mids, fizzy treble, and lies upon lies about "studio reference tuning", despite the bass being the best thing about it after EQing 80Hz down a dB or two. That really brings the subjectivity of all of this to the forefront, I guess.

Amps are nice but for items absolutely not required, you can get a small dongle sac but beyond that, sound improvement really is marginal at best. They will give you more power to get more volume but depending on the items the port on the controller should be more than enough. At that price point I'd be looking at the dunu da Vinci, kiwiears orchestra lite, softears volume or if you can stretch your budget a bit more, the moondrop dusks.

The pilgrims are good but they lack bass even compared to the hexas, so I wouldn't go that way, the thing with the hexas is that their mids and highs are basically tuned to the meta target, with less bass, so if you want a hexa with more bass then a meta tuned iem would be perfect for you, the kiwiears ke4 is the cheapest but in your price range you can also get the dunu da Vinci or the moondrop dusk.

For gaming Tanchjim kara ,i have dunu Davinci, mega5est , origin , dusk , kinera skuld , and many more. best staging and immersive feeling for gaming is tanchjim kara. But If i want to listen music and play games i would chose Mega5est.

I have used Sennheiser IE 300, Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk, Phoenix Call, Chu 2, Tanchjim Origin, Tanchjim kara, Dunu Da Vinci, Mega5est, Simgot EA500, Kinera Skuld, Tin T2, Tanchjim One.and softears volume s on the way soon.

Ya there is amazing stuff in the 200 to 300 dollar space, really, like the latest run of Ziigaat stuff, Odyssee comes to mind.. And Doscinco.. There is also the Dunu Davinci.. Juzear 61t..we are having our little brains blown out the ear holes at this point. Going up further in price, the tuning seems to get very specific and unique. You really need to know very well what you want. I think most people could stop at something like Odyssee

This 100%. After trying multiple kilobuck and summitfi IEMs, I can finally say that the $300-$500 is the sweet spot for IEMs and the one that started me on this journey was the DaVincis. For the price, they are exceptional. I spent considerable time and money trying to find an end game upgrade, but never quite felt as satisfied with anything until Phantom SE. Bases on my personal sound preferences, the BGVP Phantom SE have extremely satisfying bass, a huge soundstage, and bring out minute details in amazing ways. As close to perfect as I have found. All that to say that the Phantoms are what I would call an end game upgrade to the DaVincis. BUT, for what I was looking for, DaVincis would still scratch that itch. Try out different ear tips/cables cause the one the comes with DaVinci is heavy. I found the Mini Lyre cable by Dunu is lightweight, inexpensive, and works perfectly, for my use cases. And Divinus Velvet ear tips are great! Hope this helps at all. Sorry it was a lot. I just really liked my DaVincis and plan on buying another set and step away from the hobby lol.

I adore mine, full stop. They're a lot of fun for my library, and I think they complemente the HD660S2 and Performer 5 in my collection. O find myself leaning to use these more often than not; I personally wouldn't call these "bloated" or "muddy" at all, the other headphones I have at hand are more balanced, but I just feel a boosted though refined bass response with these. Enjoy your purchase!

I got the Deuce as one of my first sets and the bass is hard hitting and quite thumping, but sometimes I prefer something that is a bit tighter and faster. I think the Deuce is great for hiphop as opposed to edm, for edm I use the Dunu Davinci, which I would rate as one step above the Deuce. My future sets would be the FF Scarlet Mini, ThieAudio Origin, and the FlipEars Legion.

I had these and they did not have bloaty bass to me. Nothing as bad as the penon 10th ae which is where i base my reference for bloaty bass. Those things bloat. The davinci is good for the price imo

Here's a short list of my favorite bass focused IEMs. Inawaken Dawn Ms Ziigaat Doscinco Intuaura Splendor ll Fatfreq Duece Thieaudio Hype 4 Dunu DaVinci Dunu Glacier Canpur CP622B and my current favorite a modded Ziigaat Estrella.

I don't have the Tea pros, but I do own alot of bass focused sets including the Hype 4, Fatfreq Duece, Fatfreq Maestro Mini, Dunu DaVinci, Dunu Glacier, Ziigaat Doscinco, Oriveti OH700VB, and Canpur CP622B but my current favorite is the Ziigaat Estrella with cotton mesh filters over the vent.

I have the Davinci and Deuce. I would 100% go with the Deuce based on your description. The Davinci sounds kinda low-res to me in comparison to how it should (for the price). People that really want the Davinci tuning should pay the extra $50 and get the Xenns Tea Pro instead. Just don't buy the Deuce from the manufacturer. Go with Linsoul, Hangout, or Bloom.

Ok - to my ears - the Deuce has a better sense of separation between bass and midrange, with a more natural sound for things like cymbals and hi-hats. Vocals have better definition with the DaVinci, and it also has thicker note weight. Sub-bass is an easy win for the Deuce. Much more authoritative impact (especially obvious on Redbone by Childish Gambino and Viagras Boys). However, for tracks that have very little sub (Kon Karne by MF DOOM) the DaVinci will be more satisfying. My main criticism of the DaVinci is that the BAs sound kinda flat and "non-delicate" to me compared to other BA sets. But it winds up sounding more "full" in comparison to the Deuce because of that midbass scoop on the FatFreq. But the Deuce has the edge in "naturalness" and coherency. It sounds like an impossibly fast and impactful single driver rather than a hybrid. Sorry I didn't compare much of the electronic music. I'm not sure how it's "supposed" to sound. "Diablo Rojo" was easy to recognize what the instruments were and what they should do to my ears. :-)

I've heard many people say this but I think the opposite is true. The Davinci sounds decidedly low-fi to me. Transients are mushy. Bass is boomy but not musical. I don't get it. The Tea Pro is on a completely different level with everything. Maybe it's unit variance, but there's zero chance I would suggest the Davinci over the Tea Pro.

OP how do u use your airpods pro 2? with spatial audio on or spatial audio off? if spatial audio off, like i do, and u want similar sound quality, i thinking dunu davinci fits the role, soundstage is narrow same as APP2 spatial audio off, with alot tighter bass and thumpy sound However the dunu davinci price is $299 usd, and the nozzle is big AF Personally i think Letshouer S12 pro is 90% the way there on par with APP2 similar soundstage and imaging, for $170 but slightly peaky treble i heard S12 2024 limiter edition is better tune, but i don’t have it to confirm, price $199, it has the least planar timbre of the S12 line, according to many reviews online

Everyone's ear is different but I own the Volume S and used to own the Dusk, I would put the Da Vinci on par with either of them although they're all different. Da Vinci is better for Classic Rock/Blues/Single Player games. For me its never shouty or sibilant so I love it for the fun relaxing and immersion although it doesn't have the same details as the other 2. It's also not great on busy tracks. Volume S is great for vocal focused tracks but you need to listen to it at really high volumes to really hear the magic nuances, that creates a problem with always having to adjust the volume to prevent it from being too shouty, however, when you find the right track for it, hearing the little breaths from the vocals and the amazing definition on the vibratos are really satisfying especially if you're a singer or really into vocals. Dusk depends on whether its with the DSP or Analogue, but I think it's a better all rounder than the other two, less shouty but better low end than the Volume S but doesn't have the magic vocals. Better bass definition than the Da Vinci, but doesn't have bloomy warm fun sound that the Da Vinci offers. Better separation and details than both Da Vinci and Volume S IMO. For me they're all about on par with each other so don't let the FOMO get you. Getting another pair of $300-$600 IEMS isn't going to give you the wow factor/butterfly in your stomach feeling. At best you get something that you notice is slightly better or more to your preference. Maybe wait a year or two before buying the new hype IEMs. They get better every year. In the meantime, just enjoy what you have.

Dunu Davinci for me. It's the most immersive for me so far. Sounds like intruments are actually placed in 3d space. Can also listen at high volumes without it being sibilant. I also had Aful P5, P7, magicone, explorer, SM4, Deuce, Delci. Really like the rumble of the Deuce too. Have a lot of aful for their fit. Others feel "flat" to me. Like they do have some height to them but for very specific moments in some tracks only.

From my ~5min listening of DaVinci it fits your requirements quite well.

2024 was an exciting year for me and all fellow audiophiles. So many great IEMs with unimaginable value. Here are 8 of my favorite sets from my ~15 sets collection. Right to left, top to bottom: ISN EBC80, HiSenior Mega5EST Bass + (custom design), Tangzu Zhu Bajie, Kiwi Ears Punch, Xenns Mangird Tea Pro, DUNU DaVinci, Ziigaat Estrella, AFUL Performer 5+2 Honorable mention: AFUL Explorer (best first IEM IMO), Ziigaat Arete (best gaming IEM IMO), Simgot Supermix 4 (best all-rounder IMO). I'm excited for what 2025 will bring us. Hopefully better sets with lower prices.

I'm passin for sure. Rather get the waner 2 fo sho, besides already bought dunu DaVincis an elysian pilgrims in 3 weeks... an am blown away by both 😳
