About this deal
Not satisfied with merely putting an anime girl on the box of the DUNU Kima, they pushed the envelope of innovation and deeply tantalizing lore to go with it. The lowest bass frequencies are soft, meaning sub-bass presence isn’t as thunderous as what some of the competition has on offer, and the Kima will best suit those listening to folk, pop, or rock rather than lovers of booming EDM.
The sound is slightly more colored due to the bass emphasis, which in bass heavy tracks will sometimes cascade over some of the more subtle instruments. Even with the downsides, the DKC has a pretty rhythmic, musical, and mellifluous midrange with good note weight which brings upon a sense of emotion, or atmosphere. They house a 10mm dynamic driver that features the latest-generation Diamond-Like Carbon(DLC) diaphragm producing unmatched sound performance.
The underbelly on the Shells have very cool looking raised surfaces leading up to the nozzles, obviously built around the Internals that are housed inside.
They are a touch warmer than neutral, adding to the weight and body of the sound, and the Kima avoid sounding light or thin. Mobile solutionsIt was when I began using more powerful sources that I really started to see what the DKC was made of. The DKC is a more forgiving listen with a smoother approach and slightly more attenuated than the Olina or recessed.PackagingThe DKC arrived at my home in a decently sized rectangular box which is fitting for what’s included and not wasteful.
