Dunu SA6 mk2 REVIEW! They listened

Last year, Dunu and Zeos launched the SA6 Ultra, an IEM with a meteoric rise in hype that quickly ran into a problem: Dunu only made 300 of them. Now Dunu is back with the SA6 mk2, and something tells me Dunu took the hint. Let's review the mk2 and compare with similarly priced earphones.

My favorite part of the sa6 line is the fully recessed 2 pin connector that fits really snugly. Makes it usable while sleeping even for a side sleeper.

Great review as always. I love the fact that you do comparisons to some of the competition. It helps us make a purchase decision. I have 1 question. Would the technicalities of the supernova match or exceed the Mest mkii (imaging, soundstage, separation, etc)?

Don't have MEST on hand to compare, but no, I don't think SA6 competes with MEST on techs.

Nice review. I currently have some Dunu Kima and plan to upgrade. I have my eye on the Moondrop Variations, how do the SA6 mk2's compare to this one. And also do you think an AMP/DAC is necessary to take advantage of them or is the Apple Dongle more than enough?

I prefer my 2’s over my OG’s, b/c they fit better & sound more spacious and airy; sorta’ like planars. Nonetheless, the OG’s are still exceptional universal IEM’s, as they’re lush & a bit more musical, by comparison. My reference is in regards to other IEM’s that I’ve owned or auditioned: Shure 235, 535 & 846. Monarch MK2, Timeless 7hz, Timeless 7hz AE, Raptgo x HBB Hook-X, Campfire Vega 2020 & Dorado 2020.

@BarabasKarabas Жыл бұрын

I'm on the OG Timeless which I absolutely love, and I'm looking to upgrade. I've told that even in the kilobuck range, I won't necessarily be blown away by anything, especially detail retrieval wise - that's how good some say the timeless is. Since it's my first IEM in a VERY long time (think Ultimate Ears Super Fi triple driver lol from 2005 or something), I'm blown away by the timeless. To get a true, proper upgrade, should I consider something like the Helios, or the much loved U12T? I have a set of over ear planars that I love, and the timeless kinda gives me that planar speed and incisiveness. Are BA drivers at all like that? I've heard single DD items, but never a BA or tribrid. Curious to hear your thoughts.

@emailkenny Жыл бұрын

@@BarabasKarabas If you’re asking me, from a point of diminishing returns perspective, you can stop with Timeless AE’s, if they’re comfortable and you get a good to great seal. The SA6 MK2’s hit harder & have a bit more weight, but that’s about it. I loved the sound of the AE’s. Returned them due to poor fit. They were very painful in my ears 🤕 The short & sharp bend upwards on them was wild 🥵 Nonetheless, I was completely satisfied with the resolution & bass of the AE’s ✅ The space & air of the AE’s are unmatched 🤺

The bass or lack thereof, is why I'm not buying the SA6 MkII and Blessing 3. I was very close of ordering a SA6 MkII when it first came out, but was afraid the all BA set is going to have poor bass like most IEMs that uses BAs for bass. I need dynamic drivers for bass. Instead of the SA6 MkII, I ordered the Penon 10th Anniversary Edition and an upgrade cable, which comes out to the same price of the SA6 MkII. Thank you for this review.

There's clearly context here. SA6 Ultra is one of the very few IEMs that sold over MSRP second hand due to having a very limited release and the OG Sa6 just being a very popular IEM. (The entire stock sold out within a week of launch from memory.) It's only natural that DUNU would follow up with a massed produced version of the SA6 Ultra, those collab commissions do take their toll don't they?
