would you consider the tonal balance to be almost identical?
And the blessing 2 offering even better technicalities?

Tonal balance, Blessing 2 is brighter

Blessing 2 has way better technicalities

i upgraded from starfield to Blessing 2, my starfield only lasted 5 hours while right now im considering selling my exk and keeping my Blessing 2

Does anyone know if moondrop is still shipping stuff or they are also delayed by the virus?
Very tempted to get the Blessing 2...

You can order from Apos Audio based in California. They should have them in stock.

I'm waiting for comparisons to the OG Blessings and FH7s - looking for the best hybrid IEM under $500 :).

Btw, can anyone with the OG Blessings comment on their durability of the finish? V2 might be prone to scratches due to the stainless steel surface. My current portable IEMs are Massdrop Plus, which are extremely durable - I store them in my jacket pocket without any concerns.

They do ship their stuff but iirc, b2 is in limited quantity since they are forced to stop production last week.

Finally caved in. Now the wait begins for Blessing 2...

Craving for a semi "bright" mid centric.
Queen Audio qm50 was also tempting but don't think it'd be quiet affair with my xuelin 1969 tube dap. Impedance is one foe too many lolz

Thanks for help everyone.

@Dsnuts I believe that you have both the isn h40 and the Blessing 2, can I ask for some pictures of them side by side. Really likely that I will get the Blessing 2 but want to know if it is smaller than the h40 which should be a bit too big for me.

I am at work right now but. Blessing 2 is not that much different in size to the H40. If you can fit the Blessing 2 in your ears you will most certainly able to fit the H40. It is using 2 dual BAs and one larger dynamic so it has to use a larger housing. I think the ergonomics are a bit better on the Blessing 2 but bulkiness wise they are very similar. Will post a pic later on tonight.

As you can see the sizes are identical. Larger shells but I feel the Blesing 2 shell is a bit more ergonomic.

Hey guys! Here is my review of Moondrop S8 on Twister6. Really good IEM tuned to Moondrop's house sound curve called Virtual Diffusion Sound Field (VDSF), which is Moondrop's creative take on the famous Harman Target curve. Checkout the review to know more and let me know if you have any questions.

Till then, here is a picture for your eye's pleasure. :D

Great review! thank you.

I would recommend a better copper cable for S8. The original one has a good stage and bass, but treble a bit forward and grainy. It also hurts the ears with a cap on the head. My favourit cable for S8 is the ISN 16-core SCC.
