Thanks for your efforts, BTW, The final released time of SSP is on 11.11th (UTC+8). 😊

[@Beati3]

Thank you. I was thinking about the Stardust, but the Drop, Aussie tax - having to pay an extra AU$20 in shipping - priced them out of my iems-for-sleeping-in budget. Your Fiio FA1 recommendation was spot on. So I'm confident the SSR will be best for me over the SSP too. Looking forward to listening to middle of the night music on these.

[@Beati3]

Yep! They've arrived. Moondrop SSR are fantastic! I did fall asleep with them in last night. They bring out details in Jon Hopkins' "Tayos Caves, Ecuador I" I've only heard before from the Blessing 2s. Given the difference in price, that's phenomenal. Thank you.

Will you do a review for the Thieaudio Legacy 3 and the Shuoer Tape Pro ? :)

[@citok6287]

Just buy L3, it is good set. Really. Eq on that set is really work. I rec set it on the bass mode, then you eq upper mids region, it sounds amazing. It will reduce the bass quantity and push the bass qualities on texture. It width is not special, but!!! The depth of the stage is amazing in that price range. Love it ❤️

go for SSR if you like anime songs, it's more treble focused on most anime songs mixes

SSR

Do you think this will be better on blon 03? I have been deciding between the two cause i dont have any knowledge about iem and this will be my first aswell. And also can i use the ssp like a normal earphones? Not the the over ear wire thing.. sorry for my noob question 😅.. thanks in advance 😁..

[@SuperReview]

I think I'd take the Blons over the SSP, but I prefer the SSR over both. And no, it's not really practical to wear any of these without the wire going over the ear. Are you concerned about that?

@@SuperReview is ssr good for fos gaming like footsteps can be heard? I can buy ssr for just $20.. i am not really concern about it but just want to be flexible.. and yes do i need to have a dac for the ssr or it is good in using it to the mobile phone?

I don't use IEMs for gaming so can't help there. Should sound good out of a phone though.

@@kurtrussell2966 if you can buy them for 20 DO IT!!! Buy me one too! I will say one thing though, I use a sony xperia 1ii. Good dac okay amp... Cannot reach loud volumes, but perfect for at home. This iem is power hungry. With my LG v30 phone it can power them just fine, as it has a beefy amp for a phone, and no troubles outside the house in noisy environments. I'm not sure how a USB dongle will influence, I won't be caught dead even trying this out. A DAP or amp would be recommend.

[@HDMPZERO]

Great video! What would you think it's better? The Moondrop SSP or the KZ-AS10?

[@SuperReview]

SSP

[@marlonvillanueva6062]

Hi! I have the AS10 and it is my first IEM, I like it but I feel it's aging so I need a new IEM. I'm choosing between the SSR and SSP. I like my to hear music in details so I think the SSR would be better for me, but I also like some bass. The bass on the AS10 is already good for me. I just want to ask if the SSR has the same level of bass or I should go for the SSP? Or maybe the T2+ will be a better choice?

[@josephteo3555]

Great review. I would like to ask coming from tin t3s would these be worse or better? Really love the look and build of these and am wondering how these fair against the t3s, thanks

[@SuperReview]

Mm, I like Tin T3 better than these I think. Check my SSR review, I compared those with T2 which is similar enough to T3. I like SSR best personally, but it's not for everybody.

I really like the ssr but I've always wanted a little bass boost, after hearing what you said about the lackluster treble on the ssp and the loss of overall detail on it I'm kinda hesitant to get it now, what would you recommend doing?

[@SuperReview]

Tin T2 Plus for a bit more bass IMO.

[@foreverwewin]

@@SuperReview Ended up going with the SSP anyways, the t2's looks aren't for me and i just wanted a slight bass emphasis anyways, thanks for replying though!

[@kamasu4222]

@@foreverwewin Interested to hear your thoughts

[@foreverwewin]

@@kamasu4222 I'll do a write up when it arrives.

[@foreverwewin]

​@@kamasu4222 It just arrived and the video pretty much describes it perfectly, it's got more of a "friendlier" sound compared to the SSR because of it's noticable bass boost. Althought the bass boost was nice, it takes away a bit of the soundstage by bleeding into the mids, and it sounds sloppier than the tighter and more articulate bass of the SSR, and despite it's boost, It's still hard to recommend this to someone who wants a fun-sounding casual pair of buds or someone who didn't like the SSR in the first place since it's bass might still be a bit low for them and the shouty, but slightly damped, mid and treble frequencies will also be too aggressive for them. Overall it's still an amazing IEM especially for it's price and niche sound sig, like the SSR, I'd say it's currently the best pair in this price range and you should pick it up if you want a technical and detailed IEM but also want a little bass in your music.

[@MNB730]

Does it have any significant sound difference on a phone and with a mildly priced dac? The reviewers in head-fi really made me think about buying these and it's on a 15% discount right now.

[@SuperReview]

Impossible for me to say, there are a lot of phones out there. IMO worth getting a $9 Apple dongle.

[@MNB730]

@@SuperReview It's not a flagship phone or anything, but if an apple dongle is sufficient in driving the thing I'd say it would work on my phone then. Thanks for the answer!

[@cupcakeobsession]

how long did the x3 ii last before it was dead? any other recommendation of daps/amps preferably daps tho for sub $130 and below? thanks!

Another option: Fiio M3 Pro + a Zishan U1 DAC/amp. Listening to that combo right now, it's pretty dope.

[@xxbos5xx]

How exactly is it to drive, Do you think it will hiss in an old iPod or will I not need a dongle for it?

[@SuperReview]

It takes more power than average for an IEM. Any source should be fine, it won't be particularly sensitive to hiss.

[@rsdno]

I can afford SSP or SSR much appreciate great review

[@gr3y600]

I have a Realme 8 in short it has a 3.5mm headphone jack Is that enough to drive the ssp Or am i missing out on a lot of quality

Do you think these would work for hip hop music production and mixing? If not, do you have any suggestions?

It's not a thing I do, so take it with a grain of salt. They'd probably be fine for that, but I'd consider going up to something like ThieAudio Legacy 2.

[@atNguyen-fm4lp]

Hello, this SSR if using with source without Amp like iPhone and stock dongle is good? I heard that the volume will be low and 3 range of sound is not reach at full power

[@SuperReview]

Yes, I think so. I'm testing now, on iPhone with Apple dongle SSR is "loud" for me at about 75% volume. Any louder is too loud for me to listen.

When you say the SSR is more “weeby” what do you mean? I listen to mostly Japanese music (all) so I’m thinking they will be better? I was waiting on the SSP but it seems they will be worse, feedback will be appreciated.

[@albertxion513]

They're very good for female vocals, and with my experience they aren't shouty at all.

[@SuperReview]

Yeah, "weeby" generally means the frequency response puts emphasis on higher-pitch vocals.

[@quintuplebanned4267]

I don’t recommend them for male vocals between the ages of 5 of 11. Excellent for toddler vocals of all genders. The female vocals over 90 years of age bracket is a reach for these. Cat vocals I’d say go for something in the “S” category on Crinacle’s list.
