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.

The Dunu DaVinci is tuned very similarly to the Tea Pro. Both have a 6 kHz dip in the upper midrange to remove harshness in female vocals and to make the upper midrange sound a bit more relaxing. I have the DaVinci and the Performer 7 and both of these IEMs are endgame IEMs for me. The DaVinci has more bass than the P7. The P7 has a slightly early rise for the simulated pinna gain. I listen to the DaVinci when I want more bass and a more relaxing upper midrange. I listen to the P7 when I want a somewhat more energetic upper midrange. I pick one or the other to listen to depending on my mood and the genres which I want to listen to. So for me, the DaVinci and the P7 are somewhat yin and yang IEMs to each other. I like being able to pick up a pair of IEMs to listen to depending mostly on my mood. I have never looked at the iemrankings website until hearing about this website from your post, so I don't know what to make of this website. I can say that the P7 and the DaVinci are on a similar level but with differences. The Tea Pro is potentially the third endgame that I want since I think that its tuning will fit between the DaVinci and the P7. Although the P7 is really good and punches above its price, I find it hard to believe that the P7 is better than the Tea Pro.

I really liked the Hype 4. I have only had a chance to audition it during a live YouTube chat with Joyce. She auditioned all three of the Hype IEMs. The Hype 4 sounded to me like the best bang for the buck. This also was the general consensus. I also really like the white shell color which you chose to purchase since I realized that the metal flakes reflect the colors of surrounding objects. I currently have two favorite IEMs which are yin and yang pairs of IEMs. I really enjoy the Aful Performer 7 for its very nice details which require me to have an alert mind. Yet when I am tired, I prefer the Dunu DaVinci's relaxing sounding upper midrange which still has very nice details. Amazingly, I am able to enjoy the DaVinci's more intense yet still amazingly layered and textured bass even when I am tired. I really like your very simple question since your simple question can open up avenues for discussion, such as yin and yang IEMs, one of which is preferred during daytime, or another of which is preferred in the evening when being more tired.

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

I own Tea Pro and Dunu Davinci, the DaVinci sound lo-fi compared to the Teas IMO. Much better subs and mid bass clarity Have not had issue Tea Pro they are just GOAT I reckon

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.

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.

As a fellow raw black metal enjoyer, I'd love to know as well. I've yet to find a pair of headphones (within my budget at least) that performs similar to the low-pinna iems I own - AFUL Explorer, DUNU Da Vinci, Final E5000 - as these have sound profiles I find to be perfect for black metal. Everything is too bright or anemic with little bass.

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.
