and i can believe ds's assessment of the FDX1, since the FW01 is very close to neutralish... too bad the fit sucks.

The fit is why I didn’t get one. Why why why JVC?

Really couldn't wait for moondrop starfield's review cuz I've been very ready to press the buy button since it was launched
Any idea if the Starfield shells are metal or plastic? They look to be the same shape as the KXXS which for me being so heavy in the hand and premium feeling outweighed now they sounded. I wished for a KXXS replacement with the same build quality, longer nozzles and improved sound signature and sell for half the price.

BGGAR says that Starfield uses Kxxs shell, only painted. Moondrop seems to confirm it in their Facebook page

Same shell but just repainted. Nozzle is longer from what I see & it does sounds good, more subbass than kxxs

I have not received them yet, it's just from the reviews from those who have received them. It's still harmanish, similar quality from kxxs but lesser harsh peak unlike the KPE & more warm.

I'd recommend that you wait with the sound analysis until you've actually heard them, just my 2c.....

if it's less harsh than the already tame enough treble of the KPE, i don't think i would like the Starfield :sweat_smile:

DSC06827.JPG Just got these. Have them with a new copper cable connected to my IBasso DX160.
Excellent Sub bass rumble. Dynamic on these do bass really good. Smooth rich mid section. Spacious. Large stage. Full bodied. No irritating treble spikes I can detect. These sound damn good. Housing is a bit larger same size as NiceHCKs F3. But end results is a big full musical sound.

I bought this cable to go with this thing. Not sure yet if it is the best for the sonics but. So far I can't say I didn't get my monies worth. These are already way better than the F3. Which was what I was hoping for. Not bad. Not bad at all for the money I paid. I think guys that ended up getting these during sales period will be pleased. Will have more to say once I get some burn in done.

Nice! Patiently waiting mine to arrive. How does it sound compared to the H40?
