Description
The DUNU DN242 is a high-performance multi-driver tribrid IEM crafted for audiophiles who demand premium sound, precision engineering, and artistic design. Inspired by the fearless spirit of Nezha, the DN242 blends next-generation driver technology with a fiery aesthetic to deliver an immersive, high-resolution listening experience across every genre.
Fearless Design Inspired by Nezha
DUNU channels Nezha’s bold energy into the DN242’s striking appearance. Deep red faceplates paired with golden accents create a powerful, heroic visual identity. The package also includes three exclusive Nezha-themed collectible cards, adding a unique touch to the unboxing experience.
Eight-Driver Tribrid Architecture
The DN242 introduces an advanced 8-driver tribrid setup per side:
-
Dual Dynamic Drivers (10mm + 8mm) for deep, textured bass
-
Four Customized Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers for rich mids and detailed highs
-
Dual Ultra-High Frequency Micro Planar Drivers for airy, extended treble
This combination creates a wide, resolving soundstage with excellent imaging and micro-detail retrieval.
Advanced Five-Way Physical + Electronic Crossover
DUNU’s sophisticated five-way crossover precisely distributes frequencies across driver types. Independent acoustic chambers and a detailed electronic circuit enable seamless coherence from sub-bass to ultra-high frequencies. The result is a perfectly balanced signature—punchy bass, engaging mids, and sparkling treble with remarkable separation.
3D-Printed Ergonomic Resin Shells
Crafted in collaboration with HeyGears, the DN242 uses DLP 3D-printed resin shells that ensure superb ergonomic comfort and natural fit. The optimized acoustic chamber design eliminates pressure buildup, allowing longer, fatigue-free listening sessions.
Premium Litz Cable With Q-Lock Mini Plugs
Included is a silver-plated single-crystal copper Litz cable featuring DUNU’s patented Q-Lock Mini swappable termination system. The package includes 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of audio sources.
The DUNU DN242 represents the pinnacle of tribrid innovation—a perfect fusion of craftsmanship, technology, and artistic inspiration.

Let customers speak for us
Very helpful in maintaining type C cable
Build quality is top notch. It's heavy but not uncomfortable. Coming to sound it has balanced sound signature with slight emphasis on treble.
Excellent studio quality clear natural audio with good enough bass, well-balanced thanks to the audio store team and Pritaam Halpawat sir, great customer service, and 100% authentic genuine products.
Great
Nice I like it.
I was using Sennheisers CX80s with Samsung Galaxy A52s and it has 3.5 mm jack but the sound quality & output levels are very bad. So, I had to get a DAC and I watched a lot of reviews before making this purchase and one thing I can say is the sound quality is better than Apple's dongle becoz it only supports 16/44.1-48KHz .
The cable is super flexible and supports both Type C & Type A connection for PCs.
These IEMs have a unique personality and it does match the many YT reviews that I watched before making this purchase.
The tuning is very neutral leaning slightly bright. These IEMs will present all instruments and everything that is present in the mix without emphasizing. Bass and sub bass present without any mud or overpowering of other frequencies. Mids are well presented, in fact these are all about the mids which are mostly neglected in favour of bass tightness and extended treble.
I found the vocals slightly forward but not harsh, in fact nothing is overpowering in the presentation here which may come across as boring but it is simply presenting the songs as is. You can easily drift off mentally while listening, the presentation is so neutral and focus back whenever you wish to.
Overall these are very solid IEMs good for analysing and casual listening both. Tuning preferences may be highly personal and there may obviously be many who may not prefer this kind of tuning but still this doesn't take any points away.
I am happy with the purchase and prompt delivery.
have been using this for more than 2 months. The audio is very clear specially the vocals and the bass is also decent overall very balanced sound
At the price, can't complain.
Perfect sturdy piece to carry(not in pockets) anywhere
Truthear Hexa fits perfectly.
This IEMs delivers excellent sound across all music genres and is used daily. The unboxing experience is premium. However, a minor issue has been identified: the right-side IEM produces a subtle noise when tapped while worn, which may indicate a manufacturing defect.
DAC sounds perfect when you connect it with laptop or PC
has a less sound when you play with Smartphone.
Other than this the IEMs are great
Great fit to ears
This DAC is awesome and a perfect value addition to my IEM. It enhances the quality of the audio and make it a bit loader as well. Buying and its a must have accessory for the audiophiles.
Powerful, stylish, worth the price, good mic quality, the best in the range!
Powerful performance with good looks
I like the simple design without any text. The material is good. The size is perfect for carrying DAC - IEM - any other accessory.
