CONCLUSION

   After using the Falcon-C for 6 weeks the very first thing that comes in mind is that we’re surprised that DUNU is not a very popular manufacturer even among audiophiles. You see the Falcon-C is among a very small number of earphones that feature CNT (carbon nano tubes) diaphragms and that helps it produce very rich and accurate mids and highs with a good amount of bass and a wide/spacious sound stage. Now it’s not exactly perfect since highs some times feel a bit too rough/sharp (some may like that while others may not) and bass is not as rich as we’d like to be at times (still more than what we usually get from wired earphones so we can’t really complain) but other than that audio performance is nothing less than impressive especially if you take into account that the Falcon-C have room for improvement if you decide to use a different cable. Unfortunately, although the Falcon-C is a very comfortable pair of earphones due to its ergonomically shaped enclosures during testing we found that the 4-way braided cable isn’t very convenient and tends to tangle up quite easily. Yes it’s seems to be very durable and certainly helps with the audio performance of the Falcon-C (as do the bundled ear-tips / especially the SpinFit ones) but more than just once it did make us wish DUNU would make a wireless version of the Falcon-C.

   Although the DUNU Falcon-C are clearly among the best wired earphones we’ve reviewed to date their price tag doesn’t really reflect that since you can currently grab a pair for USD219.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 192Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk). Yes to many people even that will seem like a rather hefty price tag for a pair of earphones but for audiophiles looking for the best possible price/audio performance ratio (always based on what they can afford) the Falcon-C by DUNU represent a very good choice and that’s why they gets our Golden Award.
