First thing, we have a minor, but important update to our filter that's already taken effect, the listed model below
MOONDROP STARFIELD
MOONDROP KXXS
MOONDROP SPACESHIP
will carry the improved anti clogging filter.
New filters are now available for purchase at our distributor.
4.99 USD for 10 pairs of improved filters
8.99 for extra 2 pair of MIS-TIP foam tips for corresponding MOONDROP product.
Filters for dust proof purpose is also available for S8, Blessing2 and Solis models.(since they have built in dampers, they only need to be protected from dust)
Update:
We are trying to get in touch with distributors for older inventory that hasn't been sold so that they can include new filters when you are buying them.(older inventory has no difference than new ones we sent other than this filter)Please check with the retailer you want to purchase from.
One more thing:
Thanks to a complaint made by our fans, we investigated in some filters that is priced too high. After some hours talk with the distributor we decide torder them to adjust the price to a reasonable margin, we'll take the price difference caused by international shipping.(which is the actual reason why this cost higher before.)
We appreciate your feedback to make us improve.

UPD: a compatibility chart for our filters VS current products.

Wonder how they affect KPE sound signature? I should try it out as I`m using custom filter rings with my KPE.

Nice support and action by MOONDROP team! (Y)

Shouldn't be much difference, as we stated above, the new design only add an extra layer to protect dirt from contaminating the acoustical dampers.

Hi! Would you be able to tell me what the dimensions of the filters are for the different sizes? As in, how many millimeters the diameter of each size is? Thanks.

Very cool. Might I'll rebuy the matte black KXXS because I really liked its sound but the design had some flaws. First, the lack of notch/lips on the nozzle didn't work well with some of my tips and the 2nd flaw was the filter getting clogged.

I'm a vivid runner, and whenever I ran with them after ~1hr one side started to get muted so I needed to put them in a ziplock bag with silica gel sacks to fix it. Someone told me it's the ear moisture building up on to the nozzle that causes this issue, so I'm not sure if this extra layer will be enough to "block" the droplets to fog up the filter, but let's see.

I only could fix it using an extra filter over the grill aka micropore or teabag paper, but it changed the sound too much.

you can easily get replacement for filter, I think we are a bit late to add a notch to the model since we need to redesign tips and get another mould... the black matte KXXS has a slightly different sound though, it was using liquid crystal polymer similar to chaconne instead of DLC coated diaphragm.

The filters won't make any effect on a sound signature, thank you.

After a week of usage, suddenly yesterday the right earpiece of my Starfield got very quiet, 5-10% volume. After a while (20-30 minutes) it went back to normal, but then that happened two more times yesterday. AFAIK my right ear wasn't particularly wet or more wax-y than normal. Do you think this is related to the filter issue? Problem is that if I order new filters the final date of the return policy will have passed by the time the filters get here, so a bit of a big gamble to order these in stead of swapping the pair.
