Youtube Video Summary
Build & accessories are dialed: a glossy white shell with a subtle steampunk-style faceplate, a metallic nozzle with filter that holds tips securely, and a comfy, slightly thicker ergonomic body. The cable uses recessed 2-pin sockets and DUNU’s swappable terminations (quick screw-on system), plus a quality Y-split, locking chin slider, and a leather cable tie; the right side is red-marked for easy orientation. The package is stacked with tips, a 6.3 mm adapter, and a handsome, leather-textured magnetic case that feels premium. Colorway might divide tastes, but the overall presentation lands as exceptional.
Sonically, this hybrid (dynamic + BAs + micro-planars) aims for a slight U-shape with an even keel: clean vocals, crisp detail, and standout treble extension and air without tipping into fatigue. Bass is tasteful but a bit tucked, note weight leans lighter, while imaging is precise and the soundstage feels open and hi-fi. Compared with DUNU’s Da Vinci/Mirai, this brings more upper-energy and extension; versus sets like Pilgrim, Kiwi Ears 4, and Studio 4, it keeps the sparkle yet sounds more complete up top.
The twist: add an ~80 Ω impedance adapter and the DK-3001 BD flips from neutral-leaning to a fun, bassy brawler—bigger slam, cleaner upper-mids, treble air intact, with diminishing returns above ~80 Ω. That puts it toe-to-toe with curves reminiscent of Fatfreq Deuce (but with smoother highs) and even the HiSenior Mega5EST (Bass) vibe. Stock, it’s a firm S-tier pick that prioritizes extension, imaging, and refinement; with the adapter (or a touch of EQ), it climbs to an even higher S. For a $500–$1,000 bracket IEM, this is a standout all-rounder that many enthusiasts might reach for even over pricier sets.

Pros
the Timbre and Mids on this are phenomenal, incredibly natural and lovely. the High end doesnt fatigue you after long listening session, and the venting is one of the best I've experienced, zero pressure build up. Pinpointing instrument is a breeze.Cons
Treble lacks sparke, very subjective but quite a plain and boring faceplate (I find aesthethics important), and I wish the low end had a bit more oomph to it.Find your next IEM:
