Hey everyone, I recently released my first collaboration IEM, the DUNU Mirai, so I thought it’d be a fun opportunity to answer some questions about what shaped its development. I’ll also be happy to take questions about anything else pertaining to audio!

Sure, so the units are often sourced from our own stock (Headphones.com pays for it) or they come directly from manufacturers. Reviewers often have them for a couple weeks (sometimes longer, if it’s not high-priority) before they’re sent back to HQ or passed onto the next reviewer. We do keep a couple on-hand long-term for reference sometimes (for example, I’ve had a U6t from them for a couple years haha).

I’m not 100% sure what happens to the units after, I think some do end up as open box if they’re super clean (and sourced from our own stock) but most of them are just kept around as references.
