I went with the EW200 DSP after some looking deliver tomorrow as well and can easily return the if I don’t like them I just know any $50 IeM is gonna sound better and louder then a $300 headset
Hahahahhahaha, hahaha, bahahahahaha!
1. The EW200’s are fine. I could be wrong, but I don’t think you will be sending them back.
2. You’d think that $300 from industry veterans would trounce $50 from a relative newbie. That’s how the world **should** work… but… well, the Nova Pro and EW200 are tuned pretty differently, but let’s just say, “You’re in for a pleasant surprise!”
Well, not quite...
Tanchjim has a Desktop app for the DSP settings.
Removing the DSP is a cable swap away, the IEM is a standard 2pin design.
This isn't a baked in DSP, it has several presets to choose from, and it also has a 6 band parametric equalizer. So you can tune the IEM to your tastes, or sample other targets without having to buy another set to determine if you like the general feel of the tuning or not.
The cable with the USB port is the DSP, which is branded for the Bunny IEMs.
The IEMs are a single Dynamic driver type. They are basic IEMs like any other. And with an analog cable, they are still very well tuned and neutral. The DSP cable just adds additional functionality and tuning options to dial up different sound profiles.
There is an Android App you can get from the Play Store, and a Desktop App you can download from Tanchjims website.
There are several presets for the DSP cable you can choose from, that are specifically tuned for that particular IEM. (When you plug in the DSP cable, is is recognized as the Bunny DSP Cable)
The App allows you access to the DSP cable, allowing you to adjust things through PEQ, and dial in your own sound. Either through mimicking another set via a site like squig.link or through custom/manual by ear tuning.
This opens up a world of tonal possibilities, and allows you to really Taylor your sound profile.
DSP isn't for everyone, but when used properly, can be extremely powerful, and very helpful, and can save you some time and money researching different tuning options.
Because the Bunny is only $20, it gives you an exceptional value that no other set can. Because it allows you to experiment, essentially, "for free".
Where as you would need to spend $40 to get a decent DAC with DSP on top of your IEM cost.
The Bunny also happens to be fairly neutral, and has decent timbre for a $20 IEM, making it ideal for mixing.
P.S. - I edited my last post to not sound like such an asshole. Sorry about that.
I would recommend you get a USB-A to USB-C Extension Cable. So you can plug into the back I/O Shield of the Motherboard. There is less potential Electrical Noise and Interference on the I/O shield plate, than say on a front panel connector where the cable has to run under the motherboard, or by the video card, etc.
Now, i want to make something perfectly clear. Not all DSP IEMs are created equal.
For example, the Chu2 DSP is what we would call a "Baked in DSP" Meaning that the IEM has a set profile for the DSP EQing, and it can NOT be changed. Simgot DSP IEM's are exactly the same way.
However, something like the Bunny DSP has an entire app eco system to support it. So be very careful with selecting a DSP IEM.
The only DSP IEM's I recommend are the Tanchjim Bunny or the NiceHCK Tears. Because both have a DSP app you can use to tun the IEM, and its not just a baked in profile that cant be altered. And at $20-30 they are a fantastic value for a beginner to try different sounds, without buying new samish IEM's.
Astroturfing. They are, at best, equal to a $20 IEM. MAYBE a $30 set. And that's about it. They have had 3 major revisions/retunes, which is classic KZ quality.
Nearly all of the "reviews" you have seen of it, are fake. And all of the people saying "it competes with $200 IEMs" are bots, following the script for the Ad Copy in the Review Guide.
There is Hype, and then there is Over Hype, and the Kunten is straight Over Hype.
Like, it's bad enough that I've talked to Mods about the level of astroturfing, and we have found patterns to it. So it is absolutely a thing.
The Bunny is the most versatile starter set you can get.
Even if you dont want to use the Desktop App, if you plug the bunny into your phone, select a DSP profile, and save it to the cable, it will hold that setting until you tell it to swap. Regardless of whether you plug it into another phone, a laptop, a PC, etc. Very convenient.
Finally a realistic review. I think for how much we paid, these are really excellent, but even at $25-30 you can get IEMs that are straight upgrades to these. IMO EW200 and Klean blow these out of the water (but they are also much more expensive).
