Regarding the Funtack mod, there likely are other ways of doing this that are easier but so far I've only tested the Funtack method... because it's Funtack.
@@haomingli6175 Honestly I don't see why tape wouldn't work. Honestly that was my first thought as well. I'd just cut it to shape so it'd fit on it better
The ikko oh10 have more bass and was more hype for most of the reviewers, the DaVinci has to be good for musicality where there's bass guitar, drums, electric guitars, piano etc...
If anyone going to try the funtack mod, I recommend covering the hole with micropore tape first. I do similar "mod" on other IEMs and I personally just cover vent hole with 3-4 layers of micropore instead because it's easier to take out snd no risk of clogging the hole.
I really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for your Funtack mod idea. I chose to use small pieces of blue masking tape to cover the vent ports in order to achieve the same bass reduction even though the reduction is slightly too much by around 1 dB. Just a tad too much fun for the bass is removed, yet the overall listening experience still is very enjoyable. I had already settled on using Tang Sancai Balanced eartips which are very good at venting inner ear pressure for non-vented IEMs, so covering the DaVinci's vent ports did not cause any inner ear pressure issues for me.
0:00 General Resolve, you are a bold one. Back to IEMs, that's highly subjective, i do like the DaVinci, i love having a tad more bass, and warmth presentation.
I feel like that's just too subjective. If not moreso than the sound perception. For example, Listener said that Mega5EST is one of, if not THE best fitting and comfortable IEM he had tried.
I have seen that I prefer less bass than Timmy does. Ultimately, I've seen that an IEM that adheres to the diffused field curve well is probably my best option. I listen to metal a lot and too much deviation from the diffused field makes either the bass kicks or the cymbals sound weird, especially when someone like Aaron Kitcher is going absolutely ham with blasts and cymbal hits.
Would it make sense to buy something like this, the Dusk or just save up a bit more and get the Dunu SA6 MK2? I plan to just get one "endgame" iem and focus on my headphone endgame after that. I currently own the Simgot EA1000 and the Kiwi Ears Cadenza. Have tried and used a lot of iems in the past but these iems are what I own now
Good review! But isn't tape easier to use than Fun-Tak for the mod? Also, I imagine that if the Fun-Tak gets stuck in the vent, it becomes a permanent mod lol.
I tipped rolled on a handful of different tips. I found that the Fiio HS18 sound the best. If you have them on hand, I highly recommend giving those a try. To me, it made a significant difference.
@@vinnydolce541 I tried using a small rolled tube of tack to fill in underneath the flaps of the eartip and shape it to fill areas to help me get that "seal". I finally got to experience HS18 a little better. Its a good tip for sure, just that the extreme trouble it takes me to get that fit just puts me off overtime
is ikko oh10 still worth to buy in 2024? I'm looking for the best iem for basshead under $500 Or just buy : - dunu davinci - dunu sa6 mk2 Or maybe do you have another great recomendation for iem under $500 ? Thanks !
@@ResolveReviews Actually, those two words next to each other remind me of ASR... Never got the fun part personally, though, but it's there. Has to be. It's in the motto, after all. Or have you meant to say foundationalism?
Is this a good upgrade from the moondrop kato? I want to maximize my budget, this dunu being my absolute max, and other upgrades im considering is the tanchjim origin. was wondering which would be more suitable since im also okay with kato’s sound
Imo, after being a long term Kato user and having tried all of these except Hype 4, i think these are quite a lot better than the Kato, i liked Mega5est and Dusk the most. But you should try them if u can.
Da Vinci is significantly warmer with a bass rise that's higher in frequency, while the Mirai has a more sub-bass focused lift. And there's also a bit more energy in the lower treble on the Mirai.
That 400hz to 200hz tuck makes the tone to thin for loud volumes for my taste. Covering that vent is a big mistake if playing loud volumes and sweating hears , you will get driver flex a lot
Thx for the review, but damn I struggle to find a very good pair of iem to listen to metal mainly death, black metal with lots of details, any ideas guys?
What are the coffee tips? I like a natural mid range and relatively smooth to smooth treble with some bass warmth. Everyone has said that they're quite good in that regard. For me, I can tame a couple areas with eq if it's giving me trouble
I know pureism is a thing especially in this hobby but it has plenty of everything and I've always held that eq has a hard time sounding natural while boosting things meaningfully whereas it can tone it down without screwing with it as much. Tldr rather take away then try to add via eq.
guess those 2dd in isobaric (dusk) does work vs standard 2dd. was thinking about this vs the Ziigaat doscinco that i already have, with 2dd isobaric, so guess i can forget about this
Getting a satisfying bass is all about a certain balance between sub300hz and 7-8k+ İf type balance is well like in the Dusk or more bass iems like ierz1r bass wil be well textured and punchy.
At 57, with my hearing limited to up to 16500 Hz...I really cannot see spending more than $150 on an IEM. I get more than enough performance out of an MP145 or T10 for my musical enjoyment. Bought and tried the CCA Rhapsody and KZ Castor (improved bass)...also very good and each a steal at their price points, imo. Admittedly, the workmanship is very nice with the Da Vinci...if only I had eyes on the side of my head. Now, if a $500+ IEM came with a platinum, 14kt white gold, or 14kt gold shell...I might be tempted in forking over more serious cash.
you're talking like an enemy to mankind lol. do you drive a car? do you wear clothes? can you see yourself driving in the car or wearing your clothes without any reflecting surface? if an IEM came with a platinum, 14kt white gold or diamond, it won't be $500. you admitted that your hearing is limited, so, just stick with what you have and listen to your music. I can't believe a 57 yo talk like this.
Resolve's favorite IEM u12t should have a similar or even more bass elevation in tandem with more recessed pinna gain compared to davinci. Same goes for the Meteor as well but he likes them to death but not poor davinci lol 😂
There's also kiwi ears quintet; it's basically Davinci with less bass. And it's treble is also smoother. It's only issue is the "piezo zing" AKA that slight bump at 7k. Eq it down and Voilà. You've got a Mega5est-dusk at home. Say Andrew; why didn't you review this one? It's certainly a bang for your buck.
Im really sick of the tuning in new headphones when there is a 3khz peak since i am more sensitive in that region than most people and it makes 90% of modern music sound like shit. Thin and lacking in body and midrange detail there are no lower harmonics that create the whole body and tune of the song. Focals headphones have a strong dynamic presence because of the 1khz and below forward character of the clear or utopia and that is the exact frequency of clarity. I do wonder if these IEMs would be different but seeing this one it looks to be the same style albeit the upper mid rise after 1khz is a lot less severe but it still has a small suck out at 300-600hz.
I think it’s funny how you have this review praising the mids, and then others like Mark Ryan I believe saying that’s the worst part. Goes to show that it’s all preference, and that in the end reviews prob don’t do much for you apart from describing the overall sound signature perhaps
I can only see a criticism of the mids on this making sense if its because the bass kind of drowns them out a bit. That would be my criticism as well. With the funtack mod (or reducing the bass with EQ) you can actually hear them far more clearly.
@@ResolveReviews corrected my comment, it was actually Mark from super reviews. Thought the mids and vocals were completely crowded out by the bass. Still amusing how to one person the mids are the star and to another it’s not good. Or am I not understanding you two properly?
Its ashame Dusk depends on the DSP. That reduce the value proposition significantly. I cant change cable of my liking in future and if the usb type c fails in future, the Dusk becomes worthless. While i can respect anyone's wish to include Dusk's DSP when comparing with normal IEMs, personally i automatically remove it by default
This tuning is pretty close to what I prefer, but it does have a little bit too much energy in the treble, as I'm treble sensitive. I can still listen to it, I just get fatigued faster. The CKLVX CK-41, on the other hand, is virtually perfectly tuned for my ears. That's just an example of the kind of tuning I like
@@dangerzone007 Crin has it on his website... all the various DSPs... So I always recommend the Dusk Analog + Qudelix 5K. Resolve uses the Qudelix 5K too

Resolve is NOT “all about that bass.” Keep that in mind if you are. My preference curve has more bass than his, so I’ll probably like it a lot.
How would you rank the Hype 4, Dusk, mega5est, and DaVinci in terms of ear comfort?
also wondering this
Binky is probably most comfortable for me, followed closely by Megafest and hype 4, and then Dusk
I guess the smaller one (davinci?) Is the more comfortable.
I found the Vinci too chonky, didnt fit me well. At least it was super easy to resell.
