Youtube Video Summary
DUNU DaVinci comes with a very complete accessory package and a high quality interchangeable plug cable, plus a lightweight case that is easy to carry despite not being very pocket friendly. The wooden faceplates look unique on every unit and the chunky shells remain secure and comfortable thanks to a recessed two pin connector and well designed nozzles. Sonically it is a balanced signature with a clear bass boost and a touch of warmth, where the bass is the star of the show, offering some of the strongest sub bass and mid bass impact under the 300 to 400 dollar range.
The sub bass delivers thunderous rumble for movies and electronic music, while the mid bass hits with powerful slam and a very tactile, palpable quality that makes kicks and drops feel physical yet still textured and detailed. This warmth flows into the lower mids, giving male vocals and instruments a thick, full bodied and very natural tone, while the upper mids stay in a balanced middle ground that avoids shout but keeps vocals present. Treble is extended, airy and smooth, adding clarity and shimmer to female vocals and cymbals without obvious peaks, so the overall tuning feels cohesive and easy to listen to, even if the elevated mid bass can sometimes pull attention away from the vocals.
On the technicalities side, DaVinci offers above average detail retrieval for its price with both macro and micro detail coming through clearly in bass, mids and treble. The soundstage is wider and deeper than average with a good sense of front to back layering, and the imaging is a real highlight, placing instruments and voices very precisely around the head. Compared to sets like Blessing Dusk, DaVinci trades a slightly less refined upper treble for stronger bass and a more engaging overall tuning, and while higher priced models such as SA6 Ultra and SA6 MKII still win in ultimate resolution and staging, this set is treated as a reference and benchmark choice around 300 dollars, an easy recommendation for listeners who want big high quality bass without sacrificing balance or technical performance.

Youtube Video Summary
Dunu x Gizaudio Davinci shows up dressed to impress: a five-leaf maplewood faceplate that’s prettier in person than the promo shots, a deep-set 2-pin socket, and DUNU’s slick Q-Lock Mini swappable plug that threads on like it was always meant to be there. Inside, the party is serious—six drivers with dual bio-cellulose DDs (10 mm + 8 mm) in separate chambers both tasked with ultra-low duties, plus four BAs handling the rest. Accessories hit right: the included DUNU S&S tips make easy work of seal and comfort, while “Render” style tips push a touch more brightness and slam if desired. Build, cable, case—everything feels sorted, not fussy.
Sonically, this is a refined bass-head tuning done right: tremendous low end that stays out of the way until the track calls it, with smooth delivery that keeps mids solid and treble non-fatiguing. The stage isn’t super wide so much as tall, giving music a lifted, “above-and-below” presence while the image sits slightly pulled back—cohesive, never shouty. It plays nicely off a range of sources and doesn’t demand exotic amping to shine. At $299, the package feels dialed: bass quality like pricier sets, tasteful tuning, and quality of life that makes daily use easy. Verdict? A full-send recommendation—the kind of collab that earns the name on the box, high-res sticker jokes notwithstanding.

Youtube Video Summary
Dunu x Gizaudio Da Vinci comes as a very complete package at 299 dollars, with a modular Leo cable, 3.5 and 4.4 terminations, a high quality resin shell with stabilized wood faceplate and an excellent assortment of S and S and Candy ear tips. The shell is on the larger side but shaped to nestle securely, and with the included tips it provides a deep fit and strong seal, making the set both comfortable and visually striking. Overall build, cable and accessories feel carefully thought out and well above what is usually seen around this price.
Sonically Da Vinci delivers a balanced but warm tuning built on a tasteful bass shelf that starts around 200 Hz, transitions cleanly through slightly low mid focused lower mids and into a natural ear gain region near 2.8 kHz. Bass quantity is higher than many neutral leaning competitors like Dusk 2, Origin, Falcon Ultra or Studio 4, with excellent extension, dynamics and slam, plus extra mid bass and low mid presence for a satisfying punch and sense of richness, yet without audible bleed into the mids. The midrange stays clear and resolving while carrying real weight and tactility, giving instruments and vocals a natural and physical character that is uncommon at this price, and upper mids provide enough energy for presence without ever becoming shouty or fatiguing. Treble continues this natural presentation, keeping cymbals and hi hats energetic and exciting but controlled, with sufficient upper treble air and shimmer to reveal micro detail while remaining smooth and non peaky.
Technical performance is very strong for a 300 dollar hybrid, with detail retrieval, instrument separation and imaging easily matching the better options in the 200 to 300 dollar range and even rivaling sets like Performer 8 and approaching Studio 4. The bass is not quite as fast or textured as the best balanced armature implementations, and overall bass level sits toward the upper end of what more neutral listeners might prefer, but for many this will be part of the appeal, combining dynamic driver physicality with a tonally balanced and highly natural midrange and treble. Taken together Da Vinci stands out as a new favorite around 300 dollars, one of the most natural sounding in ear monitors under 500 dollars and a very strong value that earns a confident recommendation for listeners who want rich, musical tuning without sacrificing technical ability.

Youtube Video Summary
Warm-neutral done right. DaVinci brings a thick, soothing tonality to the mid-fi space, pairing a 2DD + 4BA array and five-way crossover with a high-quality resin shell that’s comfortable and pressure-free. The package is stacked: a sturdy modular cable (secure, tight braid), plentiful tips including DUNU S&S and Candy, 6.35 mm adapter, and a genuinely excellent carry case with elastic strap and net. Fit is easygoing, though the nozzle is thick (≈6.7 mm)—tip choice matters.
The tuning is a gently warm-neutral curve with a deep, enveloping bass that stays tidy, avoids boom, and adds body without bleeding. Midrange is smooth, nuanced, and natural—lower mids carry weight and realistic timbre; upper mids are present but not shouty, gliding seamlessly for a non-fatiguing listen. Treble extends cleanly and “just right”: no glare, good air, ideal for treble-sensitive ears (treble-heads may want more bite on bass-heavy mixes). It scales with source—more power tightens bass and opens the stage—and crucially sounds coherent at low, medium, and high volumes without losing engagement.
Technicalities favor musicality over microscope: stage and depth are satisfying, separation/layering are decent for the price, and the standout is timbre. Versus peers, it’s warmer and more immersive than Yanyin Canon 2 (which is cleaner/brighter up top), smoother and tonally superior to HiBy Project Ace, more fun and less shout-prone than DUNU Falcon Ultra, and more balanced (if less technical) than SIMGOT EA2000. Net: one of the most compelling warm-neutral IEMs under $500—not the most analytical set at ~$300, but a richly engaging, timbre-first listen that’s easy to love for long sessions.

Youtube Video Summary
The Dunu x Gizaudio DaVinci brings handsome aesthetics and thoughtful accessories to the table: a supple modular **cable** with easy-swapping terminations and a dark, well-finished **case** that even fits a dongle DAC. The shell presents as **pretty** and well-built, though the flat faceplate and slightly wider nozzle make the **fit** merely decent rather than class-leading; tip rolling helps. Overall build quality inspires confidence, with **recessed 2-pin** sockets and neat finishing.
Sonically, this tuning reads as **balanced-neutral** with a tasteful lift in **sub-bass/mid-bass** and forward, lively **upper mids** that can flirt with **shout** on some material. Graphs show the response hugging target within a couple dB almost everywhere, and the **channel matching** is essentially perfect. Compared to other Dunu sets, it improves on the SA6 MK2’s flatter pin gain and the Mirai’s sharper treble; versus Crin x Moondrop Dusk (analog), DaVinci feels less fatiguing around **5–6 kHz** and more engaging down low. Technical performance is **good**—clean transients, solid air and extension—though not the widest or most spacious in its class.
Stacked against peers, DaVinci trades blows with the **Hype 4** (which projects a bigger stage/“air” advantage), while **AFUL Explorer** offers a bassier, budget-friendly flavor with surprisingly competitive **technicalities**. Expect **forward vocals**, smooth treble past the 8 kHz coupler quirks, and a generally “just-right” tonality; some listeners may still want a touch more **sub-bass** slam. Verdict: a strong **recommendation** for the tuning alone—tastefully neutral, musical, and easy to enjoy—tempered by the note that emerging releases with similar targets (and a bit of **EQ**) may deliver comparable results for less. Demo first if possible, then commit.

Youtube Video Summary
DUNU x Gizaudio DaVinci comes across as a warm, bass-focused hybrid whose character changes audibly with source impedance. On very low impedance dongles the bass shelf and treble are both pulled down, while sources in the 1–10 ohm range bring back a more pronounced V-shaped signature that better matches the official graphs. Higher output impedance laptop-style sources can give a slower, boomier low end, so getting the right pairing is key to hearing the set as intended.
In the bass, DaVinci clearly favors quantity over ultimate bass control. For a roughly three-hundred-dollar hybrid, expectations are for tight, textured, well-defined low frequencies, but the main dynamic driver sounds a bit soft and slow, pushing the subbass into a fun, almost budget-style “quantity zone.” The U-shaped tuning and split low-end drivers help some, yet the softer subbass character still drags the overall presentation down and makes the hand-off to the balanced armatures more noticeable than it should be at this price.
The treble becomes the “pebble in the shoe”: often fine, then suddenly a touch too bright or unnatural on certain tracks. There is slightly too much energy at both extremes, with elevated subbass and an over-energized upper treble that can create a hazy halo instead of a smooth, dark background. Small EQ tweaks—pulling subbass down by a dB or two, adding a bit more midbass punch from the smaller driver, and trimming the air region—can turn DaVinci into a more coherent, engaging listen that better aligns with the intended bass-heavy warmth, even if it still stops short of true top-of-the-line refinement.

Youtube Video Summary
Warm, thick, and syrupy sums up the Dunu x Gizaudio DaVinci. The low end hits with heavy slam and satisfying impact—great for hip-hop, R&B, and drum-centric tracks—yet the decay is slow, so notes linger and instrument separation tightens up. That mid-bass bloom nudges vocals—especially female—toward a huskier, warmer hue. Treble reaches adequately without sparkle; micro-detail isn’t the focus, but nothing crucial goes missing.
Despite community buzz, DaVinci isn’t a pure basshead monster. It’s more a warm-tilted all-rounder with a thick, smooth presentation—think regular syrup versus exotic maple: pleasurable, familiar, easy to like. Resolution is fine for the price, though the bass texture can feel smoothed and blunted, fusing notes on complex passages. Compared side-by-side, faster sets with snappier drivers can sound cleaner and more separated in the lows and smoother yet more detailed up top.
For listeners chasing fun impact, warmth, and thickness over ultimate precision, DaVinci delivers an engaging, cozy listen—thumpy and enjoyable with enough upper-mid/treble lift to keep things from turning murky. Those prioritizing speed, air, and technical performance per dollar will likely find better fits elsewhere. But if a warm-smooth groove is the goal—and the wood-accented aesthetic appeals—DaVinci makes a compelling, everyday-friendly pick.

Youtube Video Summary
Dunu x Gizaudio DaVinci targets the current hybrid hype with a 2DD + 4BA array at $300, packaged with Dunu’s tidy cable and the new low-bulk swappable termination system, a roomy semi-hard case, and three silicone tip sets. The shell uses stabilized wood faceplates over a smoky, translucent body; the fit is a broadly “universal” medium that benefits from a deeper insertion than usual. Tip choice matters: moving to smaller or grippier tips to seat the nozzle deeper noticeably adjusts treble texture and overall balance.
On the graph it follows a “new meta” contour—linear rise through the lower mids into the bass—but on ear it’s unmistakably the bassy one of its cohort. Mid-bass is elevated enough to crowd vocals and guitar attack, giving the low end a harder thud than sub-bass rumble. The surprise is technicality: imaging and separation are excellent for the price, and bass attack is reasonably tight, so definition stays intact even when the mix gets thick. Treble sits relaxed in level but carries a dry / slightly scratchy timbre; deeper fit and different tips (e.g., Softears UC) smooth it, though a hint of dryness remains.
Against peers like Hype 4, Pilgrim, Canon 2, and the Moondrop x Crin Dusk, DaVinci trades mid presence and air for weighty bass plus sharp stage mapping. For listeners prioritizing a big low end with crisp positional cues, it’s a compelling flavor; for those seeking vocal clarity and more natural treble, alternatives prove more cohesive. Net: a solid 3/5—distinct, fun, and capable, but tuned thicker and drier up top than the all-rounders in this bracket.

Youtube Video Summary
Build & unboxing deliver the full Dunu experience: a high-quality interchangeable cable (2-pin with swappable terminations, plus a 6.35 mm adapter), multiple tip sets including Dunu Candy/S&S, and a sturdy carrying case. The unique faceplates make each unit feel one-of-a-kind, and comfort is excellent—wearable for long sessions without hotspots.
For music, DaVinci aims at a sub-bass emphasized, warm tuning with a tactile, resonant rumble that stays controlled. Bass has good extension and texture without bleeding into the mids; the midrange stays clear with natural timbre and standout vocals. Treble is well-controlled—never sharp, never dull—keeping the set non-fatiguing. Stage is on the more intimate side, but the imaging is precise, making positional cues and instrument placement feel confident.
In competitive gaming, that same low-end weight can be a double-edged sword. In Apex and COD the sub-bass resonance adds epic immersion yet can mask lighter cues (e.g., subtle footsteps) during chaotic fights; tip rolling (e.g., SpinFit W1) helps. Valorant fares better thanks to the engine and map scale. Overall placement on the WallHack list is around a B− for competitive play, while for single-player and VR the immersive rumble, intimate stage, and solid imaging make DaVinci an easy recommendation.
