78 millimeter 2-pin connector cable, and a gray Moondrop co-branded carrying case. The case is unfortunately a little large and can't really be pocketed but it's still a nice addition and overall I feel as though this is a well-rounded kit of accessories. Let's talk now about the Blessing 2's build and comfort. The Blessing 2's build is sincerely outstanding and feels significantly more premium than what I would expect to find in this price range

 Then finally dynamics is a category where I think the Blessing 2 performs well. The bass tones here actually carry a bit of weight behind them with a good sense of punch and slam that made for satisfying low tones. Despite not having nearly as much bass as the IE 300, the Blessing 2 seems to have a bit more impact while still retaining all the snap and bite in the top end, making for an enjoyable and engaging listening experience. Alright so now to wrap up this review, the Blessing 2 has been a top in your recommendation from audio enthusiasts and even in the ever-changing IEM market it's remained remarkably popular

 I don't think many listeners will find it fatiguing or piercing or anything like that. I do think that the Blessing 2 could have benefited from having just a little bit more presence than the air region above 10k but it was still capable at conveying the tonal nuances in the upper registers. Moving on from tonality to technical performance, let's first talk about resolution. For detail retrieval, the Blessing 2 delivers very good performance

 Let's talk now about the Blessing 2's build and comfort. The Blessing 2's build is sincerely outstanding and feels significantly more premium than what I would expect to find in this price range. The 3D printed see-through resin shells that house the driver's steel rugged and they beautifully showcase the precise assembly and drivers implemented in the Blessing 2. Additionally, each earpiece has a CNC'd stainless steel cover with one of them featuring a laser engraved Blessing 2 logo

Moondrop Blessing 2 IEM Review - $300 Benchmark?

Even compared to my Moondrop Blessing 2, they feel big. Both in thickness and with a wide bore nozzle. I can make my Blessing 2 fit well with spinfit tips, but no matter what tips I use on the Zero I feel it and my ears are to small to fit them comfortably. I may be nitpicking here, but I'm also not very impressed with their build

Truthear X Crin Zero: Inoffensive... but that's it

 And I've certainly used cables that are a lot more stiff. And then, you know, it does use the little two-pin style here. So it's not the MMCX connectors. The Campfire IO has a really weird cut there in the mid-range, but the treble response on the IO is good

 So it's not the MMCX connectors. The Campfire IO has a really weird cut there in the mid-range, but the treble response on the IO is good. And then the Polaris V2 is this crazy V-shaped sounding thing, which is not to my preference at all. It's very bass and very treble focused, where it just doesn't have the right tonal balance for my preferences

 So if you're looking for a smaller IEM that is going to, you know, maximize comfort, this may not be it. But I actually find that this is reasonably comfortable for me. In fact, I have absolutely no issues wearing this, you know, while not as comfortable as, you know, the Starfield that I reviewed recently. I don't find this to be all that bad at all

 Anyways, for build quality design and comfort, these are on slightly on the large side, but you can actually see through it completely. These are completely transparent for the shell apart from the faceplate here. But I gotta say, I really like the way that this looks. You know, apart from the transparent sides and back, the part that actually, when you're wearing them, the part that is actually visible, it is this sort of sleek silver looking material here

Moondrop Blessing 2 IEM Review - Best new in-ear monitor in 2020?

 As a mobile Bluetooth DAC/AMP i can highly recommend the Qudelix 5k. And for software you MUST at least try [Oratory1990's EQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/)settings

What do you recommend to someone who has a budget of about $2k (or less) that includes open-back headphones and a DAC/AMP (or any other hardware/software you'd recommend?). What about a budget of $5k-$7k? Extra points if there is an option to use a portable dac/amp with it (and if you could recommend what that would look like too). 

For reference, I've only ever owned closed-back headphones (V-Moda Crossfade 2 wireless is my most recent pair) and am an apple/iphone guy that mostly uses spotify, although I do have a vinyl setup as well. Total audiophile newbie over here, so I need a little ELI5 about basically everything, but really would like a beautiful setup to listen to my favorite music and feel like the musicians are in the same room as me (or as close of a sound to that as possible). Thanks!

Turning 40 and I can't have a party bc of Covid, so I want my first audiophile setup.

 I would honestly say it feels like I’m listening to a headphone and using my entire ear to listen, not just my ear canal.  -Conclusion- I was a tad skeptical at first , but after giving these a month , I have to say without hesitation these are keepers for life. I run these off a FIIO BTR5, and being able to listen to silky smooth and hi res music anytime and anywhere is a true luxury every music enthusiast needs. If you want an IEM that can do almost everything amazingly well, get this

If you prefer in-ear monitors (IEMs), check out the MOONDROP KATO. While their mid-range isn't as flat as that of the Sony MDR-7506, the MOONDROP have a more portable design. Thanks to their in-ear design, they leak significantly less sound and can block out more mid-range sound like ambient chatter. Their build quality feels great, and their interchangeable design allows you to adjust them to suit your tastes. Their audio cable is detachable, and they come with two different pairs of nozzles that can slightly adjust their audio reproduction. Using the spring ear tips and steel nozzles, they have a fairly neutral sound profile that ensures vocals sound detailed and clear. Unfortunately, you may find their design a bit heavy since the earbud casing is made from stainless steel.

Go for the Sony if you prefer over-ears with a more neutral sound profile. However, if you like the fit and feel of in-ears that feel better built, consider the MOONDROP instead.

Best for Most

Super* Review

r/chefknives

 So the cato, i think in terms of technical performance, it's quite good. It'S got great definition, especially in the bass and the treble. I think the mid-range detail is is a little bit lacking um, that's the one thing. The one knock against it here like there's, just not a lot of room for the the mid-range and that micro contrast and the mid-range and vocals and stuff like that, not the strongest here um, but the base tightness, the the treble tightness and the sharpness

 You really get a sense for the texture and the quality and the nuances. In that part of the frequency response, if that's not what you care for well, you might not care about this, because this is a fairly lean sounding earphone again, especially in comparison to these here, but in terms of technical performance. I think that is where this thing is strongest and frankly, it's one of the strongest in that sense for pretty much any single dynamic driver, earphone that i've ever heard okay, so that is those two earphones. Let'S move on to the tangent hana 21 and where this thing is really quite exceptional in the technical performance is in that that head stage and imaging performance, it is really quite addicting here on hana the same as the old hana and here on the new hana

 That'S come with a moondrop earphone. This is actually just frankly, one of my favorite pack-in cables. It'S a it's a handsome. Looking cable like it looks nice

 This is a lean, neutral, sound signature. This is it makes it so that the mid-range is a lot easier to appreciate, but it does have. I would say a lack of body, especially in comparison to the other earphones here, i'm fairly light on bass. Frankly, the tangerine hana 2021

REVIEW! Moondrop KATO - Their BEST DYNAMIC yet

 Now these are the stock cable that came with the cardo, not the k, cable, the k cable comes with your pre-order unit, so unfortunately i don't have that. This is the cable that comes with the cardo itself. I would imagine that the k cable is going to be even better than this, but i'm not going to say that for certain, because i don't have that on hand. One thing about the k: cable: if you missed out on the pre-order of the caddo - and you still want the k - cable - don't worry, those will come on sale separately, a little bit after the full launch of the kado

 So yes, the premium accessories and the extra nozzle that you can switch around swap the soundstage around makes staccato just a better purchase and again overall. The super nozzle is an improvement over the kx6s, at least for me. So if you're looking to buy the kx6s or the kato, i would just bite the bullet and get the kato. It'S just the better product, overall, all right guys that is it for this video today

 I would still say that the kx6s feels a little bit tighter than the kado overall, still even with the silver nozzle, but very very minute again. I'M willing to bet that most people don't even notice that if i didn't mention it on to the mid-range again with the male vocals, it's going to have a little bit of warmth coming from the base giving it this kind of a meteor feel female vocals also Feel rather natural. Now it is going to be on the more relaxed side, the tame side, although not as tame as the kx6s. It does have a little bit more energy here in the cotto and you definitely feel a female, vocal presence that is slightly bit more forward and the vocal presence that are slightly more forward in general, and that's really the improvement over the original that i personally enjoy

THE BEST OF MOONDROP?! Moondrop Kato Review

 Could it use just a little bit more air and just a little bit more sparkle? Yes, but in my opinion it's not bad and i really do enjoy the kind of the laid back signature of the kato soundstage-wise. It'S not the widest iem out there, but it's not narrow either, and it's not compressed in it's it's about average, on width, where the kato really excels is in depth and layering and in imaging - and that is where the technicalities of the cocktail really shine through. It does an exceptional job of telling you where everything is seated on stage very precise, very accurate. It pinpoints things very well

 I really enjoy the mids of the kato, especially with instruments of like from pianos to guitars and strings and brass instruments, really sound lifelike and then vocalists, whether it be a if a male or a female, they both sound, very alive and realistic. They have good note, weight and body and fullness to their voice. The treble of the moon drop kato is very smooth. It has a little bit of a laid back signature to it doesn't have the most energy and sparkle of an iem

 The cocktail has more fullness to it and bigger body and better tone and timbre. The iem that is very similar in sound is actually the c audio um and the um has very good tonal balance. Nakato also has very good tonal balance, but the difference is the kato, in my opinion, is more detailed and does a better job with resolution and also is more controlled in the bass and in the treble and then comparing it to the seven hertz timeless the seven Hertz timeless is uh talk about too close to call uh one or the other they're, both exceptional. Basically, they have very similar base and similar mid staccato is a little bit more full in that area and does have slightly better tone and timbre

 It reaches down deep. It extends well and has amazing details and resolution and extremely good tone and timbre. These things are exceptional now with that being said, since i'm not a bass head, and these make me feel like a bass head, they probably won't. Please a real bass head um they're, probably that most bass heads would probably listen to them

Moondrop Kato - Does the Kato TKO the 7hz Timeless? - Honest Audiophile Impressions

Hello people, so as the title says, I'm looking for an upgrade from my 1.5-year-old Blon BL03's. 

 Aria seems like a safe choice but concerned about fit and paint chipping, also, technicality isn't the best. Kato's are detailed and energetic, but lacking in bass and could be fatiguing (I don't know about the fit too). A4000's plastic build and size seem fine, the soundstage is constantly praised, but I'm not sure about the neutral tuning. My budget is max 200 euros (about 225 dollars), but rather go lower

 A4000's plastic build and size seem fine, the soundstage is constantly praised, but I'm not sure about the neutral tuning. My budget is max 200 euros (about 225 dollars), but rather go lower.

 My budget is 200 euros, but that's really the upper limit and I'd rather go lower. My main drivers are my laptop paired with a Sound Blaster X G1 and my smartphone. I mainly listen to EDM, orchestra, jazz, rock, and pop. I love a balanced tuning, and definitely some bass but some sparkle is certainly welcome

It took me a while, but I finally got what I've missed. I listened to the KXXS again (which I thought had my favorite treble) and realized how bad it was compared to my KATO. I had covid a few days ago and couldn't listen to music for 2 days, and putting the KATO on again felt like a breath of fresh air, I heard lots of new things I hadn't before. And there I knew I lacked reflection, I realized I have gained so much experience in this hobby

For me, it sets itself apart from the rest of my collection in the laid-back nature of its presentation. Tuning is mid-focused but isn't bright or shouty, bass has good enough impact to be professional yet not comical, treble doesn't excel in any particular area but is so linear and even that it's clean (and I thought the hazy, uneven KXXS' treble was good). Details just lend themselves out to be heard and doesn't try hard, imaging is wide and spacious, timbre doesn't have the slightest hint of grain, and I would like to not think this is because it's a DD (I've heard worse timbre in a DD). There's a sense of order here in this listening experience, and I'd like to call that order "effortless"

Long-term KATO appreciation post

Save money - Moondrop Aria for $80 USD (First good safe experience, fits in most years)

Mid+ tier (a bit out of budget)- 7Hz Timeless ($220 USD) \[Great planar IEMs with great reviews, has surprised the market, some don't like planars though, people say its better than the Kato\]

Mid-tier - Moondrop Kato ($190 USD) \[Recommended if you want to stay in the budget, evolution of the Aria and a good IEM overall, cant go wrong with it\]

I've always worn over ear headphones because IEMs just fall out of my ears. I've tried dozens of pairs/styles over the years, but I haven't even attempted a new purchase for \~10 years.  
A lot has surely changed in the last decade. What are some IEM headphones that have a lot of options for different ear shapes?

\~$200CAD preferred. Mostly casual listening from a phone, since I will still use over ear at home for my more setup.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!
