About this deal

COMFORT, ISOLATION, AND FIT​Comfort is excellent, with the Dunu Kima aiding a snug, reliable fit. Isolation is average due to the two vents. Any item returned must be complete with all accessories, hardware, manuals, or instructions, and in the same "new" condition as when it was when shipped to you. Please send us photos or videos of it. DUNU KIMA กัน ด้วยค่า impedance ขนาด 32 Ohm และ ความไวเสียง Sensitivity 108 dB และรองรับค่าความถี่ตั้งเเต่ 5 Hz - 40 kHz The Kima has good sub-bass extension. There is a 7.5 dB bass boost relative to the lower midrange. This imparts enough impact and slam to percussion hits to satisfyingly render energetic electronic music. Bass articulation is good, but bass resolution leaves a little to be desired. Bass texture is average, while bass dynamics are better than average. I do not hear mid-bass bleed. The Kima feature Harman-influenced tuning with a light v-shaped profile. The midrange is a touch behind, but there isn’t crazy energy at the frequency extremes. It’s all very pleasant sounding, if not overtly exciting.

I heard, that the thing I should be choosing IEMs based on the graph, but I have no idea what I am looking for in the graph. Meanwhile on sound characteristics on instruments, Starting with string instruments, it gives a crisp and lingering sound on either acoustic or electric guitar then a vibrant and lively sound on violins on every motion on its bow string. On brass instruments, trumpets have this brilliant and stately-like sound while trombones have a penetrating and intense sound. Woodwinds like flutes seem to have a shrill and bright sound then a reedy and expressive sound of a saxophone. Percussive like snares and tom drums have this penetrating, full and hard hitting. Pianos sounds rather balanced as it can be a warmer or vividly bright tone. However, the Titan S can sound too sterile at times, and the midrange shoutiness can be a bother – two issues the Dunu Kima avoid. I also find the Kima to have better build and accessories in general. Now when it comes it bass the story of the bass response between the OG Kima and Classic changes, where the emphasis of the bass is more towards mid sub bass and low mid bass in the OG Kima, the bass emphasis is in the whole sub bass region mostly below 50 Hz in the Classic. The sub bass extension is much more deeper and stronger than the OG Kima, the punches hits you harder and rumble sensation is more prominent and strong. The mid bass is also improved with its slam more emphasised and thump are more rigorous yet still the control and the texture and details seems to be at the same caliber as the OG Kima. So all in all the bass region sounds more powerful and emphasised in the sub bass region with the mid bass sounds more prominent in the mix. Frequency response of the DUNU Kima. Measurement taken with an IEC-711 clone microphone. Comparisons can only be made relative to other measurements taken by this specific microphone. A peak at about 8 – 10 kHz is likely an artifact of the measurement rig and may not exist as depicted here. Measurements above 8 kHz are not accurate. If possible, reference multiple measurements.

The cable is standard IEM fare these days with clear, rubber-coated, silver-plated copper strands in a 4-wire Litz weave pattern. The metal 3.5mm plug, y-split, and chin slider are all mirror-finished. The 0.78mm, 2-pin connectors are constructed from angled clear plastic; one is color-coded red to identify the right side.

For reference, here is the DUNU Kima vs. the MoonDrop Aria so you can see just how closely they measure to each other.Treble Region​The DKC and the Olina share many similarities in the treble region. Both sets offer an above average detail performance with good clarity and bite. I’d say the Olina has a touch more bite, however. The DKC sounds a hint more smoothed over. However, the Olina does sound as though it has the greater treble emphasis of the two. Likely due to the bass emphasis on the DKC. The Olina sounds a bit snappier. Then again, the DKC has the more non-offensive treble which makes it much easier for long listening. The Olina has a bit more punch, but the DKC has the smoother treble. Both have a nice emphasis and both treble regions positively affect the entire mix. Since this unit tour was organised by the beautiful people at HiFiGo, I am grateful to them. And as I've said in all of my evaluations, the same is true for this one: all of the concepts I've expressed below are entirely my own, original ideas that haven't been influenced by anyone else. If interested, go to this link. Continuing on from the boosted upper midrange, the lower treble has a peak around the 5 - 6 kHz region, and it rolls off thereafter. This adds resolution and clarity, without much sibilance or fatigue. The upper treble is hence relatively smooth, with not much splashiness in cymbals and high-hats, but as a result, the Kima Classic isn't the most airy set.

Details​Details on the Dunu Kima Classic are decent and decent is good. However, remember, this is a more fun and musical V-shaped iem. Those attributes (musical, fun) are its main calling cards along with a few others. Of course, this doesn’t mean the DKC is inherently bad at detail retrieval, but it means that it has that much more of an uphill battle at illuminating the fine details. For example, you won’t listen to this set and be drawn into the subtle little intonations within the instrumental harmonics of a live set if the bass is cascading over the spectrum. Also, it doesn’t mean you can’t hear these things, it’s just more difficult. I think the Dunu Kima Classic actually has nice clarity and decent resolution and while the transient response is generally not lightning fast… I do think that the DKC does well for what it is. I’d put the DKC as above average in detail retrieval. It's clear that Dunu knows how to bring a new model to market and attract attention. But to get to that point it has been necessary to build a good reputation. And, moreover, to maintain it. The hardest thing is always to maintain a status. But of course, with models like the Kima, that's the best way to prove it. Mobile solutions​It was when I began using more powerful sources that I really started to see what the DKC was made of. Even something as mildly powerful as the Fiio UTWS5 was able to really bring upon great mobile sound quality. The embedded AK4332 dac issues a slight warmth and a beefed-up bass region and the DKC followed suit while also coming across pretty clean. Certainly, one of the best true wireless options on the market. Using the IFi Go Blu with its warmer and more lush Cirrus Logic CS43131 dac chip I found the DKC gained a bit more in note weight and vibrance, and macro-dynamics came alive. Especially on 4.4 balanced. Drivability / Pairing​As far as drivability, the DKC is easy to drive to good fidelity. The DKC is rated at 32 ohms with a sensitivity of 108 decibels give or take a dB or two. Using a simple IPad 6th generation I was actually able to bring the DKC to a nice volume, but I noticed that separation, detail retrieval and the overall dynamic expression suffers a bit. So yes, you can bring this set to volume nicely with just a simple smartphone, but you will not get the most out of the DKC.Based on my initial testing of the previous products of Dunu, It seems that Dunu isn't keen too much on technical aspects, rather they evidently concentrate more on tonal balancing. And I expected, technical performance of DUNU KIMA will be rather average to above average. Regarding its sound profile, Dunu Kima takes a more mild-U shaped sound signature that it sounds so balanced and almost neutral to listen with. It has just minor colouration in the overall sound spectrum.
