DUNU DN-13 CRIUS

DUNU DN-13 CRIUS

 


The DUNU DN13 Crius are in a word, Sweet. It has a compact design that will appeal to those that want a minimalist look.The build quality is typical Dunu, Top Notch!. It is a full metal body with a balance armature transducer.

Like the Hephaes, the Crius comes with an assortment of silicone tips to provide a perfect tight fit for any ear. They provide narrow, wide and double nozzle in 3 sizes. With the right size tip, they do a superb job of isolating noise.


Two carry and storage case to suit your taste. One Leather like pouch and one Patent Leather like zip up.
The wonderful rubber cable wrap is featured on the Crius as well.



How do the Dunu Crius perform???

The Crius is the opposite of the Hephaes and are more like the Ares. Bass is not as full as the ARES. Crius has much more emphasis on mids and highs. Not thin sounding at all but just smooth mid and highs with a slightly rolled off bass response. I found that having the proper tip helped a lot with getting optimal bass response with these. If not, the bass can be lacking.  Acoustical recording, Jazz and Vocal music did well on the Crius. They have good mid clarity and detail.
Bass: Crius bass is ok. Definitely not for bass heads or those who listen to bass heavy music. It has enough bass that male vocals didn't sound thin or out of place.
Midrange: The midrange is very clear and vocals are very articulate.
Treble: Treble is crisp and like the midrange, clear.
Overall Takeaway: The Crius are for those who like a good mid and treble with vocal clarity. Great for acoustical and vocal music.The compact size is also appealing.
 
The Dunu Crius are currently available for purchase on ebay for about $70.
