Dunu Titan S - Sub $100 IEM that is a Titan Size Slam Dunk! Honest Audiophile Impressions

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I forgot to mention in the review that the Dunu was easy to drive and played well on all my gear; dongles, DAP and desktop. I really enjoyed it with the Periodic Audio Rhodium.

How do they compare to the Kinera Celest Pandamon you also reviewed?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Been a long time since I heard the Pandamon. I don't remember much about them to be honest. But if memory serves me correctly they're kinda similar but the Titan S is more natural with tone and timbre, has a smaller stage width but better depth and layering, imaging is similar, detail retrieval and resolution is little better and the mids and treble are slightly more elevated.

[@olafweyer859]

[@dujankees]

For the price, Titan S seems to be the one to beat! I'm getting tired of all these V-shaped Harman-ish kind of tuning, though musical and enjoyable, most of them suffer from having a narrow soundstage, less transparency and detail retrieval is often compromised. I have the OH10 and OG Tri i3 and T3+ - all three are Harman-tuned with slight differences in bass/treble accents especially with i3 being a bass monster. But I would love to have something like the Titan S - with a bit more balanced, neutral, I guess slightly bright tuning with a wide soundstage and decent imaging

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Titan S is for sure unique with it's different tuning then the normal offering. Look forward to hearing your impressions.

Titan S is a solid performer for tone, timbre and mid forward presentation. The Kotori Dauntless, LetShuoer Galileo are also great in similar price range and are more all around performing.

[@Crashboomwallop]

@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks! The dauntless isn't available in my country. Will go for Titan S I reckon.

Thoroughly enjoyed em.

[@Crashboomwallop]

@@TheHonestAudiophile got it 10 hours ago. The purity in the vocals (and instruments especially if they are in that mid frequency) is stunning, accentuated by lovely soundstage. By purity, i think I mean crystal clear, natural. In right hands, as with say Tori Amos's breathing and whispering through the track 'Time', it sounds like ASMR. Makes me wonder how a high quality iem will sound! I guess I like this tone, timbre song signature of Titan s for a mids-focused genre. For more 'fun' and that lingering caffeine kick, guess there is Legato. It dragged me back 30 years to a friend's living room with his father's huge audio equipments and stirring sub-woofers. Simgot EA 500 (whose Treble didn't jar me as it has done to several -- guess my ears are more Treble heady and I like it for EDMs) however sometimes offers a tinny, metallic, sound to instruments and soundstage isn't as good. Anyway, thanks again for the reco. My next buy will be in this Titan s-que but with that tingling oomph. Guess will have to cough up a lot more dough for that! Cheers

[@Weareonenation303]

You have four very solid options under $100 right now: Aria, Titan S, Tin T3+ and the Tripowin Olina. Recently got an Olina, I can't believe this IEM is only 100 bucks. I'd take the Olina over my Fiio FD5, Thieaudio Legacy 4, Softears Volume and even the DUNU EST 112. It's that good IMO.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Thanks for your impressions, greatly appreciated. I haven't heard the Olina but hope to get one in for review at some point.

[@davidponce6132]

By about how much is the Olina better than titan s?

[@legionnairegonk4425]

I have the Dunu Titan 1 (as built under licence for Fifo to sell as their first ever IEM- EX1 mk1), and the Titan 3.... Both of these come with the exact same rubber cable tie thing Dave, despite being several years older - so Dunu obviously likes to stick with it. Both these early Titan's sound great (the Titan 1 is legendary for its open / airy sound due to multiple air holes in the case), and both are well made. It's a shame Dunu do not offer a free pair of Spin Fit tips in the package, as Dunu own Spin Fit! I think Dunu are very under rated in the 'scene'.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesomeness. Thanks for the information. Yeah it would be nice for Spin Fit to be included in the box for sure.

[@jakefoxx7978]

Sadly I can't get these to stay in my ears, but yes they sound good-- very good. (Leaves the Kinera Idun as my favorite IEMs, the standard ones in blue from 2018)

how does the details and soundstage of the dunu titan s compare to the EW200? I am looking for something with as much details and soundstage or better but slightly less bright

[@abominablearex6487]

Hii so I just got the titans and man wao oh wao! Easily the best ones I have listened. I just fell in love with the build quality! Holy! They just feel so so good! About the sound, extremely detailed with easy to hear micro details. I heard some instruments which I didn't really hear previously in some of the tracks. About the bass. Is it just me or the bass on this is low? I get that bass smack but not much rumble. I'm not sure if it's the fit, tried many pairs. It really goes deep. Small ones fit best for me. I'm not sure if I'm a bass head or not but I like the cca CRA alot for it's clarity and bass, and I feel that the kz zsn pro x have much more bass, but everything else is just confusing. So I'm not sure if I qualify as a bass head. But you tell, I think Dunus are not bass prominent are they? I just want to be sure that it's not the fit. Dunus are really really clear. Like OMG kind of clear with very good depth in sound stage. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Glad you enjoy the DUNU Titan S. I don't consider them bass prominent but they do have quality bass.

What you find lacking in Titan s is all in Dunu Zen pro. Bass is still not prominent tho but that's also the reason why I like zen pro over fiio fd7/fdx (cleaner / faster bass response).

ER2XR has more bass impact, fuller and warmer mids, treble has little more energy and sparkle but the Titan has better detail retrieval and resolution, better stage depth and layering.

@@TheHonestAudiophile Thank you for replying. I like your videos by the way.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome. Glad you enjoy the channel content.

[@pisderata]

better technicalities than Aria?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yes, the Dunu is more detailed, resolving, better imaging accurate, better depth and layering.

what abaut speed bass??? i mean double kick i'm listening some metal music like slipknot and dragonforce

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

The bass is clean and accurate but lacks the thump and kick that helps to enforce metal music.

[@TBMartin]

This review kinda reminds me of my experience with the Timeless. They are a fantastic IEM BUT I feel it lacks with bass impact and it kinda sounds a bit lifeless without that impact. I'm in no way a basshead BUT the bass could do with a bit more impact. Might be a tip problem as I still have not found a tip I'm happy with on the Timeless. Waiting for payday so I can try the CTM Flexi Tips BUT as much as I'm unhappy, I'm also very happy with the tips I use (White with White ore, Medium size) and as the Timeless changes with tips, I don't want to lose what the white tips bring to the table. I hate this hobby lol The more I think about it, the more things bug me lol

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I like the stock red stem tips on the Timeless. I look forward to your impressions of the CTM Flexi tips with the Timeless. You are right, the Timeless is tip dependent. Thanks for the comment.

[@TBMartin]

@@TheHonestAudiophile I wish i got the same stock red stem tips because it's what reviewers lile yourself like the most out of all the included tips. I never got them as you can tell so my experience is different and i hate that lol I'll let you know as soon as i get them. Will be buying them in 2 weeks and probably take another week after that.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@@TBMartin That's a bummer that they weren't included. Did 7hz change the tips included?

[@TBMartin]

@@TheHonestAudiophile That reminds me. The gray tips with red bore, who do you think made them? I have figured out that the other tips that come with the Timeless (the white tips and the greenish tips) are made by kbear. But i can't figure out who made the gray tip with red bore so i can't find them lol

[@TBMartin]

@@TheHonestAudiophile They didn't change as such, they included the same ones you got but for some reason didn't include the gray tip with red bore for most of us who brought them after you and other reviews reviewed them. I guess they ran out of them but they are the best ones by the sounds of it. All the others make them V shaped.

[@Wingedmagician]

6:56 skip to the sound 😅

[@ZeoNeXus]

In a nutshell, it's analytical but lacking in musicality. It's not an IEM for your everyday music.

[@severinpacher8170]

does it drown out souround sounds or do i hear everything around me?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Well it's not active noise cancelling levels good but it'll muffled sounds fairly well.

[@PINKFL0YD-s2h]

I just found a pair of these for 30.i know I'm late😂

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesome 👍

[@dionysus8216]

Tin hifi t3 plus or Dunu titan S?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

T3 Plus comparison made in the video.

[@JAYEKAZE]

if it bends outward then switch the left to right maybe

[@naif5989]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@jag0937eb]

What you are saying is these things are unengaging and not particularly musical.
