Normally your type of response (from a relatively new poster) would have me hover over the ignore option. But why that poster (with over 500 posts) had to go out of their way "to piss in your cereal", is beyond me.
Maybe I don't condone compulsive buying as a form of getting into IEM word. Buying 10+ random cables is not healthy.

Saw that user from other threads doing the same. That's probably his/her way of getting off. SMH
Lol, you serious dude?

It was definitely a compulsive buy and one I may regret I can't disagree with you about the cables. But I also don't agree with how you went about voicing your opinion, it was rude and purposely aimed to make me feel dumb about what I had purchased when its rather obvious how excited I am to try them. At the end of the day, i got the 2 PENON Fan for $140 for both, the 2 Kinera bd005 Pro for $80 for both, and the 2 Tiendirenhe td2 for $35 for the pair so I don't think I can be too upset even if they arent for me. I'm sure I'll be able to sell them to a friend if necessary. I went overboard on the cables forsure, good deals but still unnecessary.

But I am very excited to try these Blessing 2 that just arrived.

I might've sound rude, apologies didn't mean to, tbh. I should choose my words more carefully.

Anyway, enjoy mate. If you just got B2 you are in for serious treat. I loved mine.
Hopefully you will enjoy the rest of the stuff as much as B2 or more :)

These are insane. I can't imagine many steps up in the same price range. My only question is should I have gone with the crinacle version

2020 was not a great year for a variety of reasons, one of which was stagnation in the budget end of the IEM market. There were no budget IEM launches this year that had the kind of industry-shaking impact that the Blon BL-03 had in 2019. Instead, a lot of companies fell into ruts, iterating on past designs without much forward movement. In this article, I give my thoughts on the also-rans and faceplants of 2020.

Good article. Lots of sidegrades released in 2020. I think for 2020 itself, HZSound Heart Mirror is quite a standout in the sub $100 market (that is with amping). I do hope u can review it one day if possible!

Well the Moondrop SSP are a standout and would likely have received more attention and praise if the SSR hadn't turned so many people off in the beginning.

Is the SSR/SSP worth buying if you don't have a dedicated AMP/DAC other than a phone (iPhone 5s)?

They can work with a phone but you'll likely have to crank the volume up quite a bit, so amplification headroom will be a bit short. They perform at their best with a dedicated DAC/AMP for sure.

Still don't get the SSR hate. Its technical abilities dominate the budget segment imo. Such a kick @$$ product. SSP is just as good, but a slightly different flavour. Glad Moondrop released both instead of just releasing the SSP as a mild retune to the SSR.
