General Product Details
Package Inclusions
- IEM shells & cable
- Carry case (with cleaning brush & cloth)
- A case with 5 pairs of Final silicon eartips in different sizes
The IEM Shells
- The shell is made of clear resin, with the Dita logo encased within in color-changing hue. The shell has a strange shape, but I believe it’s because it’s well molded to ears. The IEMs really looks beautiful!
- Each earpiece weighing at around 5.6g. They don’t feel heavy despite being about 2g heavier than my daily drivers
The Cable
- The cable though thin feels very premium. Sometimes they get all tangled up, but it’s no big deal, easy enough to untangle
- The jack can be switched between the included 3.5mm and 4.4mm, mind-blown! You won’t get the orientation wrong, as there’s a peg-and-hole to guide the insertion of the jack to the cable.
The Carrying Case
- The carrying case (called a “Systainer”) is specially made by a German company called Tanos for Dita. It’s made of tough plastic.
- Be careful when closing the case and your wires are inside, you might accidentally damage your wires if they get caught in the edges.
General Usage Impressions
- The iems fit my ears perfectly, giving me a good seal with no extra effort. These might be my favorite fitting IEMs
- The shells are protruding from my ears a bit, not really an issue, just kind of feels weird.
- Feels very premium overall, I love the fit and the looks!
Sound Impressions
- The bass gives off a slight rumble in my ear but it’s not as strong as the Elysian Pilgrim.
- Song details are crystal clear with an emphasis on vocals. If you love songs with a lot of vocals, you’ll probably love this IEM. I personally think that it’s a tad bit too bright for me. It’s not a deal-breaker, this can easily be fixed with a bit of EQ fiddling in the mid-treble
- Soundstage also feels wide to me, but not as wide and “airy” as the Pilgrim.
- Despite the difference in tuning, I think this is still very much great for general use.
Final Thoughts
The Dita Project M is an excellent premium midrange IEM that is aesthetically pleasing with amazing sound to go with it. I enjoyed the unboxing experience, and the inclusion of extra tips was a pleasant surprise.
While the tuning out of the box isn’t my cup of tea, It’s still a wonderful choice for non-bass heads. When the budget allows, I will want to buy a pair for myself.
