Thanks!Gonna check them out. What is a good price for them? Its at 109usd on Ali now. And they arent very bright? I can check if i can find a FR curve for it
They haven't been discounted at any time I believe, but you should be able to shave off the price some on AE by using the mobile app and select coupons. Even more if you can stack AE coupons on top of that.

They're not dark, but they're not bright either. Warm neutral is a pretty good descriptor. Some can be sensitive to the bump in the upper mids though.: https://crinacle.com/graphs/iems/moondrop-starfield/

Do anyone know a good chi fi reviewer? One you think are pretty accurate? Ive heard that the blon 03 also should have good soundstage. Koss etc is not what im looking for since im also lookibg for a openback.

Other IEMs/buds with very good soundstage/stereoeffect and good for bineural recordings?

If you want soundstage and don't need isolation, you may want to try some earbuds.

The ST-10S would probably be my recommendation.

I just posted my review of the CVJ CSA. I reckon it's a great little IEM but you gotta be down with some old skool thumpin' bass and warm tonality.

Blon BL-03 has a lot of strengths. Soundstage is not one of those strengths. It's not great for soundstage (though it's not terrible), detail retrieval or instrument separation. The fit is somewhere between difficult and truly tragic depending on your ear anatomy. It is however supremely musical and has superb timbre.

I can't recommend a reviewer as music and hifi is so subjective. What is good for one person isn't so good for another. Read reviews for stuff you already have. Find the ones that agree with you (even better if they listen to tracks you know well) and then look at their other reviews.

CCA CA16 on the way. It should be interesting to compare with the CVJ CSN.

I thought that I was in recovery from my affliction (FOMO on the next budget, punches above it's weight class, blah, blah, blah,...). As I know (from existing reviews) that the CCA CA16 (L.O.L aka lack of low end) goes against my preferred listening profile. But between the buzz in this forum and the current discount (618 sale), the CA16 sits in my AE cart.

CA16 is most definitely NOT lacking low end.
