BEST UNDER $100?! - Dunu Titan S Review

[@kaaru2344]

Listening to this on my DUNU Titan S. Glad I took the risk and bought this pair despite virtually zero reviews at that time.

[@yasu3252]

hey ik im 2 years late but finally looking into my first pair of iems. And was looking at these, they worth it?

​@@yasu3252im an owner of the titan S and definitely would say titan S is really good but wouldnt recommend as your first set, but if you love controlled everything and with vocals insanely forward and clean sounding definitely get this, but if you want something to just enjoy as your everyday dude i would prefer the trthear red

i received my titan S today man this is my first 80$ iem and I couldn't be any happier i absolutely love these man

[@UnluckyDomino]

Have you used them for gaming? How do they compare to any other IEM or over-ears you have in terms of hearing footsteps and separation of different sounds in game?

[@nomanhossain6597]

​@@UnluckyDomino i did, they were pretty good in terms of footstep separation from gun sounds and cannot give any comparison as i'm out of audio hobby for nearly a year now. I sold everything around 8-10 months ago

[@dujankees]

My Titan S is on the way! For now, I'm done with v shaped harman tuned iems (aria, t3+, oh10 etc.) the way you described the tuning of titan s, that's exactly what I am looking for, thanks again!

[@luis.aacjara]

Titan S has more upper mids than Aria

[@marcelohrp]

Emotion is better than details. Sound Neutro is like dance with sister. Rsrsrsr...

[@3ildcard]

I am not an audio guy / IEM guy but bought the T3+ due to all the hype it recieved. Needless to say i am quite disappointed. I much prefer my , a bit more "niche" taste Starseas. The T3's don't even sound much better than the crappy 40$ Philips TWS's i rock daily and are quite shouty with muffled vocals.

What a great video to wake up to 🤣 thanks for the review! Was also hoping to get your thoughts on Dunu Titan S vs T4 since the T4s are also the reference type and also neutral bright. Aaaaand it's technically bellow $100 right now.

[@ernest4483]

Another great content review Timmy of the DUNU Titan S, it seems the Titan S is a little brother to the Softears Volume

[@Gizaudio]

Thanks man! I've yet to try Softears Volume, hopefully it's good!

[@abhinandande]

This is The Problem With The Audiophiles. Sounding Neutral is Boring, Sounding Warm is Not Analytical, Treble High Fatiguing. No One Can Make Them Happy. End of The Day Etymotic ER2 XR is Legend.

[@CassioTheWiser]

I agree they can be super picky at times, can't dispute that. Buuut to be fair, in reviews it's best to play devils advocate for absolutely everything so that you audience can be informed about all details and make smarter decisions based on preferences Me personally? I just ignore everything about high fatigue that ppl say cuz I'm a treblehead n know my limits already lol

[@pcmoba3738]

Actually theres a reason why they complain same as my bl03 after changed the wire it elevated my bl03 crazily but still the bass make my ear hurt

[@TearfulNight]

Yea .. these reviews are so much confusing

[@The_Taco_Thief]

I like the neutral sound I don't think it's boring so not all

[@Ballacha]

would be great to have a comparison between this and etymotic er2 series. er2 is basically perpetually on sale at this point and should count as an under $100.

How is Aria compared to Olina? I Already have Aria and really interested in Olina

[@carminedesanto6746]

@@yudikurniawan9939 The Olina’s offer a better soundstage and imaging ..what they really excel at is ( as HBB points to his library of 70-90’s rock) pulling out details and giving those older recordings breath and life. In other words..a tad brighter than the Aria..but it has a little more midd and sub bass . Either one is enjoyable..and in my IEM’s stable everyone offers something different.

Great review as always, glad to see the Aria get some competition! Weird question, are any of the 3 sub $100 kings, (Dunu, Aria, T3+) small enough to lay down with? I lay on my side a lot while listening and I haven't found a good IEM for that since my Tennmak Pros (Shure 215 clone) broke years ago

[@zhanurdos]

4 kings olina is decent too but not for all

[@darklucas0721]

@@zhanurdos You're right, should have $80 kings, but it's probably not for me. Most of the time I'd want upper mids that forward is for ASMR and the vocals are usually extremely forward in those recordings. So I probably couldnt justify the increase in price considering I love to hear bass.

[@wanaboed]

Waiting the comparison to Olina

[@TF2ReplayMaker]

I think you're forgetting the Shozy Rouge when you say there's no better treble performance under $200. Highly debatable, I'd say the Rouge is extremely well-tuned for its price and perhaps even better than the Titan S. That being said, the Rouge now goes for about $130 or cheaper if you can find it used so there's that

[@Xocnap]

Would you recommend it for gaming? Valorant at least.

[@RevanthRaman]

I have no idea about your old outro but that sounds more fun and positive than this one

[@Gizaudio]

The old outro had to be removed due to potential copyright issue sadly. This one is custom made so won't have the same problem

[@Drewsterman777]

Just bought the Aria and they have way too much bass for my liking. I used Equalizer APO and lowered the bass -4dB and they still thump like crazy. Ordered the Dunu Titan S. Hopefully these are better to my liking.

Many people references this to me as the better option to T3+ and Aria when it comes to harsh songs like hard rock, prog metal, punk, etc. What's your opinion about this?

[@carsoneastman5709]

I’ve only tried the Titan S. But I will say for music with a lot going on and can be very loud these have been amazing. The bass is present without drowning out the details of the bass itself and the little details in treble that can be lost through cheaper products. Personally I don’t have a dac or anything but through my apple dongle on IPhone 13 max I prefer these to my HD 6XX because of just how clearly it feels I can hear everything. Especially with Punk Metal and Hyperpop you can really distinguish the voices and lyrics in a way I haven’t experienced before. Headphones and IEMs are very different but I prefer the Titan S for not having sound leak in like open back headphones so even if there’s something like an AC on you can hear things very clearly. I say the 6XX has better bass quality but all vocals shine on the Titan S and I can’t stand wearing those headphones for more than 2 hours where as I’d leave these in all day with pleasure.

@@Gizaudio Dunu Titan s Its confortable, ? can you listen for hours? I would like to know a little more about his bass, or rather the low mids, I don't like it much but I also don't like that it lacks, or has little. With Will I feel the impact that the songs or movies must go through, that is, will I feel that they are in the right measure, without missing even by, or will they have less bass and sub-bass than would be normal?anyway, if it will be faithful to the recording, will it have bass/sub bass where is it supposed to be? and I also wanted to know about its speed, if it will have fast and slow bass where it should be, if it won't tangle. If not, which one would you recommend me from the titan signature but with bass that I said, I like it to have good vocals,instruments, correct timbre,good image and stage, and that it has brightness and not dull like Aria, but without being too brilliant in the high mids like the zs10 pro has.Without being sibilant. Speaking of which, the Titan s is not sibilane and it doesn't have high mids that will bother you, right? Um fone mais pra filmes e seriados do que pra músicas, mas com qualidade.
