Check out the full review here. DITA Presents Project M DITA presents its first resin-based hybrid earphone, Project M, combining an ergonomic, signature design with cutting-edge audio technology. Featuring the new PM1+ Dynamic driver paired with a Balanced Armature, it offers exceptional sound quality. Staying true to DITA’s philosophy of longevity, Project M is designed for lasting enjoyment and is supported by a 10-year parts and replacement policy, ensuring durability, long-term value, and a commitment to sustainability. A New Driver Concept Project M incorporates DITA Audio’s custom PM1+ 9.8mm Dynamic driver, delivering full-range sound with clarity, speed, and impactful bass. The driver pairs with a Knowles BA unit to enhance the soundstage. Both drivers are housed in an optimized Stainless-Steel chamber, with sound projected via a custom transfer tube ending in an Aluminum nozzle for precision. MOCCA / CARDAS Custom-Built Cable Keeping with DITA's tradition of custom-building cables for every earphone, Project M is equipped with the MOCCA cable that utilizes conductors made by Cardas in the USA. It's constructed with 16 strands of Cardas conductors per cable, twisted to DITA's specifications, and jacketed in a flexible PVC outer layer. The cable also comes equipped with DITA's APV2, future-proofing the Project M for use in the modern listener's ever-evolving rig. Acoustic FEA is used in close conjunction with a series of both objective tests and subjective listening experiences to produce a sound tube profile that is optimized for Project M’s dynamic driver. This continues the DITA ethos of delivering a coherent, full range experience largely based on 2 channel systems. This entire assembly is finally encased in a slow pour, transparent resin mix, resulting in the earpiece’s elegant, intriguing visuals. The resulting sound is one that bears all the hallmarks of a DITA product, positioned in a new, attractive price bracket. Mini Systainer Carry Case by Tanos In a nod to Project M's minimal industrial aesthetics, each unit comes with its own Systainer Carry Case, made by Tanos for DITA Audio. Each case comes with custom-made silicon inserts for protecting both the case and the cables during shipping and before purchase. Feel free to remove the top and bottom case linings post-purchase. Both inserts are molded to the Tanos Case, but DITA added two pieces of double-sided tape on the bottom lining for extra security (easily removed if desired.)
