At the price it’s some of my favorite sound. Only dealbreaker is if you get pressure build up because they’re bad for that. Otherwise, yes they’re a go
From what i remember, while its good, its quite picky with genre.
Its have great clarity, separations and details.
But its fairly bass-lite, so if you need some slam for your rock music its might not be for you.
Only if on sale perhaps. At original price, in 2023, I think the Starsea is just middling in this day and age.
It has 4 tuning options via switches, but they are not drastically different. Quite technical, note weight on thinner side with BA timbre.
There is some venting issue, so some consumers may find a pressure build up in the ear +/- driver flex.
Major elephant in the room - its impedance is 9.5 ohm, which makes the Starsea incompatible with sources with output impedance > 1.125 ohms. Otherwise the FR will be skewed with high OI sources.
Check out my Shanling Sono review. This one caught me by surprise. I normally don't write reviews but this one needs more attention.
tl;dr, Shanling delivers the Legato that I hoped 7Hz would release.
Not sure if this belongs here but I just received my order of Dunu S&S ear tips. They sealed my short nozzle shallow insertion IEMs where no others in my collection would. Until the Dunus, these problem child IEMs required constant fiddling which was annoying. They are super pliable, in the shape of foams and seal just the same without the foam drawbacks. What a lifesaver in keeping these IEMs in play. Now they just disappear. Righteous!
Here is another set I bought and reordered another. They are 14mm in large, seal extremely well and stay put. At 3 pair for $5.95 they are highly recommended. I have found there is no one style of ear tip that works across-the-board. These and the Dunus fill in those gaps.
