DUNU - Titan S2

dunu titan s2 has an engaging mild v shape tuning that I'm pretty positive will land with your preferences and a safe option imo. abit less technical versus ea500lm but more natural timbre, bonus points for the insane accessory package (dunu s&s tips, candy tips, standard silicone tips, awesome cable, great case) the ea500lm are noticeably more treble boosted then the defiants and has that classic simgot treble spice, quite possible to be fatiguing to listen to if thats not the type of sound you prefer with some people finding the timbre to be abit metallic which might play against your treble preferences. if you're okay with that then they'll be a very nice set but just know what you're getting yourself into, worth trying out but somewhere with a good return policy ideally if it doesn't work out

I would recommend using 5128 measurements, where the titan s2 looks a bit worse, yet still like a very capable iem.

Dunu Titan S or the Titan S2? Think they're metal builds.

jump on it soon... AliExpress has a sale. Hexa, Titan S I saw both of them on sale. Don't remember the Aria SE. I picked up a Titan S2 and a set of Wyvern Black

I got Dunu Titan S2 and a set of Wyvern Black. 4 sets of cables. Nothing too exciting. Just starting out in my journey😂

One of the best for that price

No worries buddy. I haven't tried the Kefine or the Delci unfortunately. I've taken a few months out of the hobby / addiction after I bought a Fiio FD15 in March. The other IEM that I use quite a lot with my Xbox is my Dunu Titan S2 (with S&S tips). It's pretty good too, but it probably sees so much use because I like the way it looks next to my Xbox!

Fosi DS2 is one of the cleanest and most neutral DAC/Amps you can get, and at $50, its a steal. If you HAVE to get something off of that list, then i would go witht he Fiio KA13, just for the Fiio App, and ease of support and firmware updates through Fiio. If you want something without overpowering bass. You can basically write off the Lagato, Fudu, EM6L, Hexa, and DZ4. They all have a rumbly sub bass texture to them, the Legato is basically a bass canon, and a bad one at that. The DZ4 and the Hexa do have a slightly leaner lower mid bass region, but that just makes the sub bass more pronounced sounding. The only really vocal forward, low bass IEM in that list is the Aria2. But it is kinda older now, and i think there are some better tuned IEM's out there with a similar sound signature. The Titan S2 is a good IEM, very balanced, vocals are a little less prominent than the Aria2, but the upper mids have more authority, so female vocals are a little stronger. The mid bass of the Titan S2 is also strong, which can make it feel bassy on some rock or traditional jazz tracks. But it balances nicely with the upper treble. If you want something that has less lower mid kick, the original Titan S, or the Sivga Que, might be a better fit.

Personally I have the S 2 and the change is significant in terms of rendering. It is more expensive but with discounts it costs me €68. the packaging is also more complete and the carrying case is nice. Sound level, the bass is deep and the mids are very present. The treble is as it should be (for me) I listen to them with either an iPhone with KH5 DAC or with a FIIO M15 S. https://preview.redd.it/792exz92zfme1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=68a09bdc7bb47344b212d87c4eb11fab82c3746f

Titan S2, the mid bass is just perfect (⁠⊙⁠\_⁠◎⁠) https://preview.redd.it/adtf7b6hlnuf1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=84feb07c48f042f09be30f9b071def7b426d4108

In my case the Titan S2 is the third most comfortable fit I have achieved so far, I am using it with the large size of S&S tips it came with and I have no problems at all, i have also tried the Cherry tips (I guess that's the name of the other tips it came with) and it was good but not the best fit for me. Fit is a personal thing as everyone has different types of ear so try rolling some other ear tips and if you still can't find a good fit you should consider a hybrid foam silicon ear tips. My friend has the Moon drop lan that continuously falls down from his ear so I recommend him to change the tips and no stock tips worked so he got a hybrid foam tip from a random seller and it fits quite well now.

Nano 7th + dunu titan s2

Zephyr - 1BA 1 DD I wanted my first IEM to be neutral bright, so it was a good fit. Pretty good instrument separation, good imaging. Some people say the soundstage isn’t that wide, while I agree, it’s not narrow either. Can’t go wrong for $159. Build is pretty solid, it doesn’t scream expensive, but it doesn’t look cheap either. I normally use these with the S&S eartips to make the sound a little more intense, Baroque Stage when I want more bass. Titan S2 - 1 DD Bassy pair, but not bass heavy. The soundstage is definitely narrower than the Zephyr. Good for EDM and other bass focused genres. The build itself is pretty astounding. The heft of the metal build adds a feel of high quality. I like how they feel cold to the touch when I put them on. The accessories that come with this set is just wild. I like using the S&S tips on these as it makes the sound a lot more intense. When I switch to the Baroque Stage tips, they just get more bass but smoother. EDX Pro - 1 DD I pretty much use these when I’m bored. I make sure I rotate through my headphones and IEMs and don’t forget about these. They’re fine, definitely not very detailed but good amount of bass. Narrow soundstage, separation is like 3/10. The shape is weird as it doesn’t go in my ears if I use my regular tips, they have to be longer or really big. I’d use this with my GameBoy. Andromeda 10 - 10 BA Still new so I still need to experiment. But overall very detailed without being aggressively detailed. Bass is detailed and textured, sparkly highs. Imaging is insanely good, adds to that “holographic” effect. The nozzle is short so the tips need to be a size larger. Will update.
