Sound stage and imaging are good. Very, very bright/sibilant set though. Would be good for gaming and maybe trebleheads but I found it way too hot to listen to at length - actually caused a headache. Very small and light IEMs but for my ears fit was tricky. Had to tip roll to get it to seal.

The DITA Prelude aims for a mild V-shaped presentation that stays easy on the ear: bass has a gentle lift, mids stay clean, and treble adds air without harshness. DITA itself describes the Prelude as mild V with an emphasis on technicalities, which lines up with its relaxed yet open tonality . Treble extension and perceived headroom are standouts at the price, helping stage and layering feel a notch above typical entry-level fare .

Hardware is straightforward: a single 10 mm dynamic driver with a composite diaphragm and dual magnets, plus dual-volume venting for control and consistency . The metal shell is compact and sturdy, and the 0.78 mm 2-pin interface keeps cable options open if you want to swap later . Detail retrieval is good for the bracket; micro-detail won’t challenge kilobuck sets, but separation holds up well in busy tracks.

Value is helped by the bundled ANTE USB-C DAC/amp dongle, which pairs neatly and removes source guesswork for newcomers . Bass is tastefully elevated rather than boomy, so bassheads may want more slam, but the Prelude’s balance and treble smoothness feel well judged for long sessions. Street pricing sits around $159, making it an easy recommendation for a first serious single-DD IEM .

Final A4000 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

Average Technical Grade

E+
  • A foggy, one-dimensional presentation wipes out layering and obscures the finer points of a mix. Spatial cues barely register at all.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E+
Expect a dark-tilted treble that keeps excitement in check. Sibilants are dull, but so is everything else.
Dynamics D
Dynamics come across throttled, leaving energetic moments underwhelming. Energetic passages land with a thud.
Soundstage C+
It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
Gaming D-
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.
