Thank you for the review. Already preordered these but wanted to hear someone give a good honest review.

[@ImAWSMDanny]

Great video. FOMO hitting hard right now. I wonder how the DaVinci will compare.

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

Brands are hitting up the competition at the 250-450 price tag. It is a relief to see that the bass is done right this time. Micro Planars and dual DD at this price is something we would not have expected to see last year.

[@zerotactix5739]

Awesome Dannyyyy

[@Simon_Hawkshaw]

Thanks for sharing your perspectives and this review of these new IEMs. Really helpful and a great guide for purchase choice. A better choice than the Blessing 3? Much appreciated. Stay well, Sir.

[@sredom]

Very solid, well thought out and smoothly delivered review. Examples with songs in different sound area are really pure value added.

[@exactom6320]

I’m waiting on my set I watched to see if I made a good purchase. Seems like I won’t be disappointed thanks for the review!

[@GadgetryTech]

I say with strong confidence you won't regret it. My main concern was comfort, and it was excellent there. So now I get to enjoy the comfort and the sound!

[@AlexLee-je5jg]

Damn, you aren't watching for verification but for validation.

[@RealMephres]

​@@AlexLee-je5jgAs long as he can send the IEMs back at any point, it should be fine. It is better to first check if something is good before getting it, though.

[@BrominatedVegetableOil]

Just pre-ordered these in part from this review. Very well done! Also, listening to that Big Hammer track right now with my Maestro Mini's based on the recommendation. Holy cow, I see what you mean on using it as a litmus test for bass response. My ear drums are rumblin'.

[@GadgetryTech]

Lol nice! That song hits DEEP

[@URSet2Fail]

I think I wish the EQ profiles were just available to cycle through on the DSP cable itself (like a button to toggle through them) instead of an app… seems cool though, never got to try Blessing 2 Dusk, so I’m definitely interested in this. PS: great review! ❤

[@GadgetryTech]

I was hoping for that too! Perhaps a future cable

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

I have interest in IEM. But I struggle to have any reason to want one when I already have the Truthear Hola.

[@RobertMartino98]

love seeing ur channel getting bigger & bigger. Great review

[@hkmrsrg1367]

Thank you for the review. I will have to save to buy this but this review confirms to me that this is one to buy.

[@NotAyFox]

That bump at 15+ kHz looks worrisome, but my hearing drops off sharply after 15k, so I hope it won't bother me that much. Then again, I do regularly EQ any IEM I use daily, so I can try lowering upper treble if it starts feeling fatiguing. Otherwise, from your excellent review, it seems like a winner. I was a bit worried since I ordered it blind, only on Crin's word. :D

[@hartyewh1]

It's been some time I've subbed to a new audio reviewer. Good stuff.

Ty for reviewing this. Price is too much for me but totally makes sense with performance in thousands.

[@TheSecondof5]

Thank you for the great review. Very helpful.

[@protality6833]

Amazing review as always Joe! Now I'm torn between the THIEAUDIO Hype 4 and this Dusk set..what a great problem to have lol.

[@apothecy4011]

Dusk beats the Variations and the Monarch Mk2. Hype 4 gets slapped hard.

[@lololololololol444]

Wow saying that you like these more than some Killobuck IEMs is a wild claim. Could you name them??

[@GadgetryTech]

Sure thing! It’s not like this beats all kilobuck IEMs. Some of them are simply better from a cosmetic design, build quality, and included accessories. Having said that, I like these more than the Audeze Euclid. I also like them more than some of the Campfire IEMs which have their own special sauce but this is a more enjoyable set for me. I think you get the idea l. Sometimes it just comes down to sound preference and comfort as well, regardless of technical performance.

[@Hijynx87]

I’ve got a pair coming eventually…….but good news! I got my hype 4 today!!! I’ll have to have a 3 way duel with Doscinco, hype 4 and cklvx d41….and sliivo sl41 whenever that comes.

[@JoshuaStone]

Great review, new to the channel and your content and delivery are great. I sub’d immediately after watching. Keep it up! 🎉

[@DJ97ism]

Hello! I binge watched many of your videos! If you’ll allow me this question (even though it’s off-topic), between the Pulse Elite and the HD560S, which one would you say is better strictly for imaging and detail retrieval in FPS? Thanks a lot for what you do! I’m always looking forward to your videos!

[@drizzlydr4ke]

HD 560S smokes the Pulse Elite at ease

[@DJ97ism]

@@drizzlydr4ke would you say that’s a true statement, @GadgetryTech?

[@ying27]

I plan to use the Dusk without DSP. Your review is the most solid review up to date, however I am not sure if your thoughts were using DSP or pure analog 🤔

[@PoFryRice]

Love this video especially after watching so many assumption reviews. I bought the Moondrop Variations a few weeks prior and I noticed you didn't do a review on it on your channel so just wanted to ask in case you do have it but just didn't make a video for it. If you do, how do you compare the two in terms of overall sound and for gaming?

[@Xel_Naga]

Been using the Zero:Blues for awhile but thinking hard if I want/need to upgrade to these after watching Crin's announcement

[@sasquatchcrew]

im new to the IEM stuff I might switch, what was Crins announcement

[@Xel_Naga]

@@sasquatchcrew it was the announcement of the DUSKs which I did end up with. Been pretty amazing but expensive, plenty of budget friendly options around.

It's clearly a very early age software develpment for the market in general and MoonDrop especially. I expect things to improve fast.

[@Zmyszen]

How those compare against Variations?

[@laLakshya]

Comparable in technical performance, much better tuning

[@Veldrid]

How does this stack up to the Hype 4? I have that one on order already but it is 60 days out I am told.

[@esperla123]

Great review !

[@bb2628]

Looks cool!

[@larryzotter]

what's that headphone at 13.50?

[@GadgetryTech]

Moondrop Para. Review dropping soon!

[@viriyo4958]

My only nitpicks for Dusk are it's still not good enough to separate instruments in really crowded mix (e.g., Kick Back, Zankyosanka) and some lack of microdetails (e.g., sometimes the last "gggg" part of the "twangggggggg" for guitar strings rolls off earlier than I like). But to be fair, you can't get those below the steep kilobucks like Helios/MEST. Otherwise it's the best technicality I've heard (with no obvious compromise) below 1k. The DSP cable also gives the lazy people no excuse to avoid EQ'ing it to perfection.

[@mistaBorg]

while a review unit may be nice, actual production QC may be an issue. i had a few issues with moondrop products personally and would recommend waiting a few months before buying any newly produced item...

[@zerotactix5739]

Sigh. Just out of my budget this one sadly. But great review. Thanks for always keeping the gaming part.

[@chanmunphang8361]

Sold most of my iems after acquiring my er2se, thought it’s gonna be endgame for me for basic commuting use, but the new dusk is so tempting, worth the upgrade?

[@kdelavirgen]

Have you happened to test out the 64Audio U12Ts? Curious how these compare to those based on your statement on how this hold up against other $1000+ IEMs

[@justindavid4913]

I know this is an IEM video, but do you have a review on the Fiio JT1’s? Whats your opinion on them disregarding the price point? What do you think about the sound compared to IEM’s for you?

[@chaos3088]

As much I love to do preorder now, I'm almost half broke, really have to wait till maybe next month or June.

[@kungjarnix]

For me that is unaware about the capabilities and future's of IEM, I am wondering if these are able to connect to Ps5 or if your in need any additional devices? It would also be nice to be able to stack these against arctic p7+ that i currently own. Im right know looking to uppgrade to either sony explorer or maxwell for ps5. I mainly play competitive fps and sim racing games. I would also like to have a great musical experience maby also in a workout session's. I dont know if it's possible to tick every box in one product but it would be cool if it did. Any suggestions?

[@dealvidit]

Could I ask about how soundstage and imaging are with these IEMs (with the DSP cable). I wanted to get these and I play competitive titles a lot so I wish you could elaborate a bit more in detail please?

[@nok460]

Hey I own the Variations since a couple of months and really love them, would you say these a worth buying ??

[@GadgetryTech]

If you have an IEM as good as the Variation and love them, stick to what you already love. Otherwise we’re always chasing that next hot thing when the real magic is in the music

[@pedrosk445]

how can i "flash my custom eq to the cable"? 8:46 . for example, if i want to lower the 14k freq even more, how can i do it so that every time i connect my iems to a different device, my custom eq stays the same. because, on windows, i have the "peters eq apo" and i can easily lower my upper treble. however, i dont have a software like thet on my phone... so how to lower upper treble even more? please any help is appreciated. thank you great review. got my like 👍

[@GoufinAround_]

The qudelix 5k is my personal "on the go" dac/amp and the qudelix app is far, far better than the moondrop app. Also, Crin was saying in his announcement video that the dsp is not normal eq? Something about how the only way to change frequency responses is to be subtractive so to create the extra bass profile means that the other frequencies had to be reduced. Unless dsp can just be a cable that you can assign an offline parametric eq profile to, it's not for me. I have the monarch mk3 in my sights and they're what I'm saving up for currently. This is likely going to be the next buy after that. Also, Moondrop cables are always crap.

[@GadgetryTech]

You can add or remove dB with the Moondrop app. The issue is there’s no preamp adjustment so if you boost 8db anywhere for example, it’s fair to expect distortion. If you do negative 8 dB somewhere with a Q of .707 then boost somewhere in that same octave +5 dB with. Q of 5 for example, it would work much better. He’s just saying this to avoid adding clipping/distortion.

[@GoufinAround_]

@@GadgetryTech oh ok, that makes much more sense

[@pdbdd]

how would you compare these to the ziigaat arete for gaming?

[@eugenetan7868]

Should I get this if I have the Xenns Top already?

[@Asian_Import]

I just pre-ordered mine!! Question, if I'm going to be using these on my PC paired with an external dac/amp, do I still need to download the phone app to get EQ profiles? Do I use a different program all together on PC?

[@comradesandwich9437]

such good vibes from you

[@anderson13666]

I am pondering between this and Nova. Is 200 bucks more worth it? I am looking for a good all round iem for gaming and music

So i have the XENNS Top they sound alright a little fatiguing , Im debating in getting these or DT 1990 Pro. How do these compare to some beyerdinamics you've tried? What difference did you notice with these and XENNS Top?

[@mgerim]

You need dac for this or I can just plug in into the pc with usb? (I am kinda far from the Pc, like 3meters)

[@alexzecha5950]

sorry but im unexperienced in this domain. I want to ask you if I can use your EQ (WZ2) for Arctis Nova 7 or they sound different to Nova Pro and it doesnt fit? Thanks!

[@labelmeaking9408]

Cs2 EQ incoming?

[@heloiamerk]

I know there's a huge price difference, but anybody have thoughts on the Dusk compared to the Monarch MKIII in terms of sound only? I was probably only going to get one, and now I'm not sure which to pick!

[@Androide323]

Does anyone have any idea how can I use this wirelessly? Is there any adapter? Just for the ease of it really, but I want to keep the sound quality as much as possible while on wireless

[@neotechofficial1815]

Is the moondrop app available for PC (windows 11) too? If it's only available on mobile phone, for example if we set the eq on the mobile phone, then put it on to the PC, will the eq still stick to the iem?

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

Yes the app is only mobile and mainly Android at the moment but yes if you set it to a preset and them remove from the phone, that preset is what will be used when you connect to a PC via thebUSB C cable and USB C only

[@troupsterT]

Great review! Just one comment.: when mentioning the H.O.D.D.D.U.S setup inside the IEMs, you said the two dynamic drivers are pointed outward from each other. That's not correct; they are actually facing one another, doubling the amount of air that gets "squeezed" between them, increasing bass response.

[@Omlet221]

Is it worth upgrading from blessing 2 dusk?

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

Does your Blessing 2 Dusk still work?

[@milkmanchannel1]

You are the only other person I know of besides myself who actually has a pixel tablet. Lol

[@Spike626721]

Are these for small ears too or should I look else where?

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

In terms of nozzle they'd be perfect for small ears but they have a large shell in terms of how the IEM provides out the war when worn and that can be something others don't want. Others want their IEMs to be mount flush

[@storiesmidnightclubbrasil7041]

Looks like the Cymbals and hi hat harmonics maybe too foward, something that i dont like on my planar iem, that “airyness” not offensive, not fatiguing, the famous planar timbre

[@Tommie22x]

so you can just select the preset eq (default or v for example) on your android. and then that eq is "imprinted" on the cable and you can take that eq to whichever device then? you no longer need the app if you found your sound? But thats still so silly that they completely alienated the whole ios crowd. I'm sure a lot of asia still uses ios (though android is probably more for "audiophiles". That buggy app is definitely a huge turn off. their software team really needs to fix this before these arrive in their customer's homes.

It’s funny, I don’t like the Blessing 2:Dusk. Probably the most disappointing audio purchase of my life because I was so excited. That being said, I always try to support the creators I appreciate. So I bought the DUSK blind. It’s nice to see so many positive reviews, but even if it ends up being another disappointment, I’m happy to support Crin and his experimentations.

[@fofopho]

Now that I think about it, I haven’t liked several of the Crin collabs I bought. I liked the Eclipse for what it was, and Red was cool. But the OG dusk was boring and has that one hideous peak, and the Dioco is literally the worst sounding earphone I’ve ever tried (because it just won’t seal in my ear no matter what tips I use). I also bought the KZ collab that we don’t talk about anymore 🤫 those were fun for the price at the time.

[@thats80s]

I am pretty much done with all the IEMs and DAC topics, but i still watched and enjoyed this review. The price is pretty high and i think the rise of cheap-hifi from china really makes selling expensive IEMs really hard. When the difference in sound is a couple peaks in the treble region, while the price is 50 vs 400 dollars, i think either the customer or the manufacturer need a sanity check.

[@residentzero]

i experienced that with the Shuoer S15, returned it as my 10 times cheaper EW200 was superior in every way. That being said im not totally skeptical until I've tried them for myself

Comparision with Blessing 3?

[@Averizzy]

How would these compare to the variations?

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

I'm a bit concerned about the "paper dome" inside the DD used to damper the resonances. Doesn't this means the longevity of the DD cleanliness will be tied to the longevity of that paper sheet? Under hot and humid conditions this could put at risk the paper layer to rapidly cancel some of that dampening effect on the bass frequencies. I'm sure this method of filtering is not news but I can't help myself on thinking how fragile the system is.

[@JoelHernandez-tz3vk]

In that case. I'd like to know how this would be different from every paper cone used in every loudspeaker ever.

just to add, IEM is only half of the battle, get a good portable DAC be it netural or what not will provide the full coverage. However since these pair of IEM has their own dac for the Type C, HOWEVER, if you're using an Apple product, it might not work

Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll try it out

[@THE_FALL3N]

Do you have any suggestions for a dac/amp to pair with it?

[@GadgetryTech]

If you don't want to use the DAC cable it comes with for some reason, it does not need much power at all to get loud. Qudelex 5K is my go-to for IEMs. It works as both a USB DAC and a BT DAC/amp for on the go. Otherwise even a cheap Apple dongle will sound great on it. If you need a volume knob, I really like the FiiO K11 DAC. It has a digital gain knob which is great for channel balance at low volumes.

Have you tried it with " female vocal soul r&b " are the vocals relatively forward? Or thin? Natural? Any comparison with " "diva" for female vocals?

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

Oh it has the best midrange in any IEM under $1000 and washes some IEMs over that price. I listened to them at CANJAM earlier this year with artistes with varying textures to their vocal presentation like Samara Joy, Yebba, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Adomaa, Aṣa, Stevie Nicks and many others like male vocals from Travis Greene, PJ Morton, The Weeknd and others. It performed superbly Diva had to hot of an upper mids presentation so vocals had a plasticky, unnaturalness to them and the bass was really middling

[@jamesj5469]

Honestly the blessing 2s (non dusk) that I have are so good but I might give these a look. The blessings 2 only problem is the lack of bass. The mids are perfect and the highs are great.

[@mdmahadi4430]

How do you suggest it for gaming if it doesn't have a microphone. Even a mid quality microphone would be appreciated. We don't need much quality we just need to talk.

[@MaximKachurin]

From your measurements on Squiglink I see that Truthear Zero Red has the same peak at 15K. Would you say that they are similar in brightness at the very top? I liked Zero Red a lot, but they were very uncomfortable, so I'm looking for an alternative.

[@Mishael_Agyei-Boamah]

Yes in that regard yes there's good enough mid treble to upper treble sheen for these whilst having a smaller size nozzle even if the IEM size it self is a bit taller when you mount it into your ears

Do you need a dac/amp? Moondrop River 2 Ti (Moondrop Dawn for a cheaper option), Questyle M15, Cayin RU6, iFi GO link/bar/blu(this is key)/pod(this too if you can afford it but you want to buy IE600s so probably). Its worth picking up one if ur mobile a lot. Just some food for thought and I'm also regurgitating so I retain this stuff as I make my choice too haha. Sorry if i spammed ur inbox i kept editing adding more and i forgot this hobby is all subjective opinions coming out of 1s and 0s and even if you try youll never get to everything, its why no one has made the perfect iem haha. Check out the Dunu Sa6 mark 2 though or the Mega5est instead of Ie600

[@SherryDC]

sound wise dusk, if comfort is a concern try both first. ie600 will fit smaller ears better but dusk will sound better depends on what is more comfy for you

[@nagettt]

Did you prefer playing games with the DSP cable or the analogue one?

[@GadgetryTech]

For FPS I used analog because the small bump in 2k helps with certain games like CoD. For everything else I like the DSP cable more, but it’s not really noticeable on gaming
