Packaging and Accessories

Knowing the design language chosen for the DUNU TITAN S, it was no surprise to see a more colorful packaging as well. The product box continues DUNU's tradition of being space-efficient, which I suppose also carries over to the IEMs themselves. It comes plastic-wrapped, removing which shows the same image I used as the title photo on the previous page. There isn't much else on the front aside from the product name and expected Hi-Res Audio sticker, with the back and sides left to provide more specific information about the product and contact information for the company.


DUNU has gone with an outer sleeve over an inner box, with the sleeve sliding off to reveal a predominantly black box with the DUNU logo in a glossy print. This is a thick, two-piece cardboard box that has the lid lift up to reveal the contents inside, beginning with a colorful carry case to match the product's design language.


Given the TITAN S is slated to be among DUNU's most affordable IEMs ever made, the carry case is a pleasant surprise. It's of course not going to win any premium build awards courtesy the leatherette construction that doesn't even feel like leather as some others do, but the form factor is excellent for actually carrying the IEMs around. In fact, it even looks right in place inside a handbag; so much so that I even asked my better half whether this would qualify as something people would carry in their hands. Apparently, it's more the color that's a detriment, so it passes my test. The DUNU logo is stamped into the front, and the zipper and carry strap are all sturdy enough to where I have no complaints about the case, only compliments. It opens up to reveal a small opening large enough to access the contents inside.


The IEMs come with the cable and a set of ear tips pre-installed, all of which is in a large plastic bag with the two individual IEMs in their own smaller plastic bags. In order to take a closer look at the IEMs, cable, and even ear tips, I chose to separate them at this stage. Simply pull out the ear tips from the nozzle to get them out, and the same is the case for the cable courtesy the friction-fit 2-pin connectors. The black housing over the cable connector provides enough room to do so. Do this for the other side and you are now ready to proceed.


But before we get to a closer examination of the cable, we first have the accessory box underneath the case to go through. This is another black cardboard box with the DUNU writing on it, and it contains some paperwork and a QC sticker, among other things. I am not sure whether that pamphlet was accidentally included or not since it talks about the Q-Lock LITE modular cable system introduced with the FALCON PRO. More relevant no doubt are the three types of silicone tips DUNU generously provides, each coming in three sizes (S, M, and L). The size M red core tips come pre-installed, and I have included them here for a family photo. As with the previous two occasions, I would have liked DUNU to include a label for what these different tip types supposedly do, as we have seen from the likes of FiiO and SeeAudio. In general, the outer flange is of varying degrees of stiffness. There is also the bore opening size on the exit and overall length itself. I have seen some comments online about the red core tips being bass-optimized, blue core tips vocals-optimized, and clear core tips balanced, but take that with a grain of salt as there is no first-party confirmation on the product page or website. No foam tips are included, so it has that in common with the more expensive FALCON PRO.
