COMPARISONS:-
ISN D10 ($175):-
Equipped with a single dynamic driver, ISN D10 delivers one of the deepest sub-bass and bigger lower end body for under $200. Mid bass is slightly bigger in size but it has slower decay and more weight to the notes. The mid range is not sharp or recessed like the DH3. Vocals have a bit more forwardness. It is smoother with a slightly better poise. Instruments don’t have similar bite, agility or aggression. The background floor has better layered feel. It simply has no sharpness anywhere in the spectrum. The treble extension is similar but the stage is bigger with more even instrument distribution. It doesn’t have the sparkle and crispiness of the DH3. The Resolution is slightly missing but fits better for those who are not looking for an energetic treble.
Picking one is tough. Both have different tuning and targeted towards different set of listeners. D10 for the mild mannered listeners who like some bass and DH3 for those who prefer more accuracy.
VS BQEYZ Spring 2 ($140-170) :-
CONCLUSION:-
Doesn’t matter how you look at it, the DH3 has plenty of details, highest amount of details for under $200 to be precise. It is not made for the general kind of consumers though. It doesn’t have the fun factor to it. It is tuned for the more mature and analyzing bunch. Still then no denying that it sounds very good. Yes, the lower region lacks extension and body but the rest of the spectrum is very accurate and precise. It has its own type of heat across the spectrum that has its own flavor.
Go for it if you are up for it. If you like crispy and shiny notes and sharpness is not bothering then the DH3 is an excellent and very detailed sounding earphone. If you are in the market for a fun sounding, smooth sailing laid back kind of tuning, please turn away from DH3. The DH3 will kill the cat, go with the ISN D10 instead.

How would it compare to something putting vocals forward and instruments a background, avoiding sounding thin (and just warm. not Heavily so), bass homogeneous or inline with midrange not louder (like the former vocals vs instruments) with “natural decay/impact” even intruding on mids that’s not distractingly detrimental, no sibilance treble but having enough avoiding to be boring. It’s a technicalities vs pure enjoyment (lost in music) equation.. you know iem’s like that? I think it’s the natural and the way for earphones to be, exception: type 2. The worthwhile detail-ed (but musical) vs money equation ( like this under 200usd iem ) still I prefer a cohesive/coherent engaging sound (which is the point of listening to music anyway) am presently lookin to buy this iem but if I discover one that would best it I’ll do that instead (since i can’t find the 1st type), with your appreciated help.
Didnt under stand you properly but if you are asking for an IEM that is a bit mid forward and music then go for the Akoustyx S-6, Etymotic ER3SE and Soranik Ion-2s
