Great review as always! I love the comparison and thoughtful analysis of the Dudu vs other available planar IEMs

Hihat problem is prob from the excess 11kHz peak. Nasal vocals are from the excessive ear gain, common from overly harman sets
@AudioAmigoReviews

I agree. I think where the specific peaks above 8-9 K are the main reason I prefer the Stellaris to the Dudu for classical. Ear Gain also peaks earlier in the Stellaris. Thanks for the comment!

I also agree how weird it is that the Dudu doesn’t come with a carrying case! It’s never something I choose an IEM for, but a nice carrying case can really make an expensive set feel like more of a premium product for me (or a cheap set feel like a great value). 😂

Not all cases are equal. Some are so massive they’re essentially useless. (Looking at you 7Hz Dioko)

Tinhifi doesn’t put cases with their iems in general, don’t know why. You’re right about mods on these. I have the P1 Max originals and followed Paul Wasabis mod on them and that worked great. Probably a filter 300 or 500 on the nozzles would fix these issues maybe. If they go on sale in the future I might buy them.

The S12s and P1Max were modders dreams. So easy to tweak and modify. I can totally see people picking these up to get a nice double-sided voice coil driver for $80.

So, not a complete dudu but pretty close. I usually do not care about the case. However, S08 has a really useful one for storage that I like.

@@alexeiboukirev8357 Yeah… it’s not horrible, but it’s just not for me. And not for a lot of people I talk to either. Too much energy past 6-8K. I reviewed the S08 almost immediately after this and it was like a night/day difference in both sound quality and included accessories. Yeah the S08 is $20 more. But it’s worth that $20 and more. If the S08 was priced at $140-$150ish, I still think it would be a good value.

Fantastic review! I have a few pair of planar IEM's, but from this lineup, only the Z12. I do love my Z12!

I really like the Z12. The red/blue is so cool looking. Lately I’m all over the S08, it’s fantastic. That’ll probably be my next planar review. Thanks for the comment. :)

@AudioAmigoReviews

@@jamesberryman9893 it’s a completely different tuning. The Z12 is precise and incisive. Spicy treble in a good way. Wouldn’t call it an upgrade. More a different experience. The S08 is a completely different beast. Smooth, relaxed, very chill. Way less treble energy while still having good details.

ive seen two reviews which mention the stock cable negatively impacting the mids and upper end on this set. Did you notice any differences between cables?
@AudioAmigoReviews
Ай бұрын
@@jebeandiah I personally didn’t hear a night and day improvement with an aftermarket cable. I think the future DSP app might fix the tuning, but as I mentioned in the review, the app isn’t ready yet. Edit: I used a NiceHCK OCC silver cable. And the improvement was slight, but not enough to fix it.

I do own a KZ PR2. Review is coming soon. I just haven’t listened to it enough to compare it to the Dudu, and didn’t want to include it as I didn’t feel confident in being able to evaluate it.

@@ndjdj7989 I don’t know either. I purchased it in May of 2024, there is no visible mesh on the driver, but it did come with foam tips preinstalled. I plan on reviewing it from the standpoint of “This is what it sounds like today. Let’s ignore the controversy and evaluate what we have”
