Youtube Video Summary
Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4 is a hybrid that pairs bone conduction for sub-bass with a 6.5 mm dynamic for mid-lows and two BAs up top. The stock signature is intentionally vocal-centric, with elevated upper-mids and a deemphasized low end, giving a bright, centrally focused presentation tailored more to monitoring than casual listening.
Dialing back the upper-mids by a few dB via EQ unlocks what the hardware can do: the BC driver adds sub-bass presence without the usual density or bloom, while the small DD fills in tactile mid-bass and the BA pair stays speedy and resolving. With the hot spot tamed, extension and air come through and the stage shifts from tight center focus to a more 3D, separated image—very much a hybrid that sounds like a hybrid.
As an enthusiast piece around $400, it feels pricey to buy just to experiment, but the driver choices are smart and the set responds well to tuning. Best for those who prioritize vocals and precision and do not mind tweaking; less ideal if a warm, bass-rich balance is expected out of the box.

The Tipsy Dunmer Pro 4 is a 4-driver hybrid IEM using 1DD+2BA+1 bone-conduction (passive) in a hand-painted resin shell; the official listing currently shows an MSRP of $499 and specifies upgraded Knowles high-frequency BAs. Retail listings corroborate the hybrid layout with bone conduction in the low band.
Manufacturer communications describe a neutral-bright balance aimed at clarity and positional imaging, with marketing quotes from gaming reviewers highlighting footstep intelligibility and vertical localization; this suggests treble energy is a deliberate choice, which some listeners may find vivid while others may perceive as bright. The bone-conduction + DD scheme should bolster sub-bass perception without heavy mid-bass bloom, while the dual BAs target upper-band definition, yielding a presentation that favors detail over warmth.
At ~$500, the DP4 competes with well-established hybrids; its feature set (bone conduction, Knowles HF BAs) and precision-leaning tuning are contemporary, but independent third-party measurements and broad consensus remain limited, so value hinges on whether you prioritize imaging precision and crisp treble over a more relaxed tonality.
