Any in here who has bought the new Moondrop Evo?
And is happy or got any complaints?

Love the Letshuoer Cadenza4 due to sound and comfort, and just cheap enough so I can use it at work. Thinking it would pair perfect with the Evo, both in design and as a portable solution.

Right now I use the cabled IEMs mostly in the car/office or during breaks. And stick to tws when out physically working.

Love the message on the mug, dude. As the lead singer in two bands, I need that mug! :)

Sony sources usually are smooth and buttery as their house sound.
So like their headphones? I am familiar. Was a fan of the XB500 monsters back in the day, though the sheer amount of bass is vomit inducing, it was still tight sounding. I also recall demoing the 1R in stores and it had that smooth bass and mids, but the treble peak killed it.

I think my Aful Explorer just shipped, which I'm very excited about!

Also, it sounds like I'll get the opportunity to try the Celest Wyvern Abyss? Has anyone had a chance to try this or the previous version at a show or anything? Gorgeous shell as usual from Celest, and I'm guessing it'll be priced at <50$ with that single DD? I could be wrong.

I think it's important for us to remember that some members receive email notifications of new posts -- and having to repeatedly check back here every few minutes after yet another email can get tiring over time.
Getting email notifications and even just website notifications can be annoying with popular threads.

Instead of subscribing to threads like this one, I just create a web browser favorite/bookmark with "/unread" at the end of the URL. Every time I click the Discovery bookmark, it'll bring me to the oldest 'unread' post.

Btw, I hope sharing this doesn't skew head-fi metrics for thread subscriptions lol.

any info on the battery life? i read the website but might have missed it
Haven't read any about it yet, I'll do some research about it later today and maybe ordering.
I was about to say I have heard good things about the ifi GO pod but it’s like 400 bucks lol nvm!
They are good, and sound good. Was also more comfortable than what I would expect.
Just that price is a little on the high side, had it on loan for a weekend.

Easier to justify a purchase with the Moondrop being cheaper than ifi, if quality is alright 🤔

No coincidence Apple's vanguard designs stopped when chief designer Jony Ive left the company in 2019. He was the leading design influence of the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPod, MacBook and iOS.

Just a minor player in the company ... :)

The current CEO places no value on design. He put an operations manager in charge of Apple’s design efforts and hired the guy who invented the E-Trade baby to put in charge of Apple’s ad campaigns. Design has been completely devalued at Apple and the result is these lifeless, featureless and boring designs. Minimalist design doesn’t have to be lifeless, featureless and boring but that is what you’ll get when you alienate world class designers.

That direct comparison to Aria2 and Harman2019 tough
I ordered it for the sheets and giggles for my son. High res version. I imagine it'll be a piercing affair, but with discount, it was $10.00. I spend less every day for coffee for my wife and I, and he runs through wired like water.

Looking for a single-DD? I just reviewed the $66 JIALAI Carats and it's scary how competent budget DDs are these days. You're invited to read my full review here. :smile:
Reminds me of my Moondrop KXXS and Kanas Pro, minus that abysmal gold nozzle.

You just made me think of something, and I'll report back if it makes a difference? Hmm...

I know EXACTLY who you're talking about 🤣

I don't post here often enough to have noticed it myself before, but yeah, I can see it now.
