I want to buy a custom cable for my Moon drop IEMs. What more well known IEM manufacturer has the same two pin connection. Selection list only has manufacturers listed, not connection description.

Any that uses a .78mm 2 pin will work. Noble, 64 Audio, and Empire Ears to name a few.
Be careful. There are actually two types of 0.78 mm 2 pin connectors. I've attached a picture so you can see how the length of the plastic section varies. Ignore the curve on connector G in the image attached.
My experience has been the connectors with the shorter plastic section do not insert as deeply and are not as secure.

Hmm, Today i've compared Moodrop Blessing 2 vs FLC8S. Firstly, I thought that cable on B2 is bad, but on FLC it's even worse. In terms of using, of course FLC are smaller and more comfortable.
About the sound, well, with any filters the bass on FLC is deeper, it has a better punch, the songs have more body. I almost forgot how it's sub bass. Also due to good bass, the stage is deeper on FLC.
But midrange it's better on Blessing 2, it's more flawless and relaxed, the instruments feels bigger, female vocal is more forward.( even FLC with golden filter)
Where the Blessing 2 wins, it's upper frequences. Blessing has more extension, ups are more airy and due or this, the stage is wider.
So if B2 would have more bass, they could have been perfect earphones in this price range.

Received the Moondrop Starfield today and apart from the cable - I like them so far. These are a bit behind the KXXS in overall resolution/speed/articulation but I think renders some of the best vocals in its price category.
Here's my review of the new SSR IEM:
Good value for its price!

About the Starfields, some people love them, some people find them boring. I think that's due to the following reasons (a part from personal taste ofc):
-earwax: I cleaned my ears yesterday and and my starfield suddenly became more lively, although still on the smooth side of things
-volume: because of the Munson-Fletcher curve, V-shaped transducers sounds better at lower volumes, while flatter ones like the Starfields give their best performance at a higher volumes. So, try playing 'em loud

I did not like the e-pro horn tips on any of my iems like kxxs or t800 compared with the azla sedna. E pro horn are not bad but i find the azla way more accurate cleaner and punchier

Completely shocked and disappointed with SSR my VK4 sound many times better for the price..perhaps this why they've withdrawn from sale.?
Compared to my Starfield set even for the price there just awful.

I find it interesting how this is already proving to be a controversial IEM. I think many of us knew from the beginning that it would not suit a lot of tastes, based on how it graphs, but quite strong opinions seem to be forming. Many of us are waiting for the SSP to come out, but I wonder if there will be any last minute adjustments to the SSR during this hiatus.
Can you tell us more specific why they are awful
I mean they are called reference for a purpose
Completely agree with all said. Give them some volume, and they come alive. Throw a silver cable in the mix, and it gets even better.

Same for kxxs definitely unenjoyable at lower volumes or low power output

I’m also curious about your specific reasons for disliking them so much. Primarily due to the tuning?
I mean they are called reference for a purpose
True, and that’s what had me interested in them at first. I also really their looks/shape, that and the price. I was hoping they would be a more affordable and potentially more comfortable alternative to the Etymotic IEMs. What gave me concern was how the graph matched up against the Etymotic graphs. These is such a HUGE boost to the upper midrange. That, in combination with neutral bass, did not seem appealing to me. This is how it compares to a VERY neutral ER4SR.
