A- Tuning

Bright set with lots of treble detail. Airy, splashy, and shimmery with great extension. Isn't sharp or metallic in the timbre, but not 100% "natural" either, comes down to preference. Mid-volume set, good with slower genres, not rec for high energy tracks, can get much at higher volumes. Favors female vocals, male could be a bit light and could use more power, but vocals aren't thin or shrill sounding like the Oracle MK2s. Not gonna float everyone's boat, but it's a unique listen (not the same planar tuning yay) and worth having as a collectors piece.

Very nice built and cable for the price. Sounds like a warm harman. Tech is good, but not too competitive at the price (EA500LM).

Very well executed Bright V-Shape. Good Mid-Bass and wonderful airy technicals. I prefer the Kima 2 for $40 more, but this comes with essentially the same acessories package.

Dunu Titan S2 Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B-
  • The tuning leans easygoing, yet occasional unevenness nudges it away from greatness. A bit of EQ polish can smooth things nicely.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Mids C+
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble D
Expect treble that alternates between muted and splashy in the same track. Cymbals sound inconsistent across tracks.
Dynamics E+
Subtle shifts disappear, with transients lacking bite or urgency. Drum hits arrive without conviction.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
