I finally recieved my Moonlight. Fit comfort will be well, but not for me(( It's good, but not perfect. I think that right earpiace need less then 10mm diameter tips... It's will be good for you if your ears bigger then mine.I was a big fan of the Monarch Mk2, except the fit was cause some ear discomfort after an hour or so. I ended up selling them, for that reason and because I wasn't getting enough iem usage. Now that the situation has changed i'm shopping for a good replacement and hoping not to go above the 1k mark into u12t range.
I'd been eyeing the mest mk2, the clairvoyance, or perhaps the oracle mk2. Then the Yanyin moonlight comes from nowhere and attracts my attention. As I listen to some pretty different genres, mainly classical music and 80s/90s/modern alternative I would avoid iems that hit high in one area and fall short in others. I also use iems to catch the occassional netflix/tablet show.
Any impressions or comparisons for the moonlight to those other iems would be so very welcome, especially since it's pretty affordable, comparatively.
I did get a pair and I'm pretty happy with them. You're right, they are a bit more analytical than the monarch mk2, but the fit and comfort are better for me, and they were half the price of a used pair of monarch. I also listen to a lot of 80's and current alternative as well as classical, so it checks the boxes for my favorites.I finally recieved my Moonlight.

For classic rock, 80s/90s songs will be fine. Classics... fantastic. But for me Moonlight is more analitical and dry (don't kill me please), then musical. I prefer my Edition XS and maybe I will sell Moonlight. XS is fantastic enjoying headphones. With them you didn't need think about sound quality, you just listen to music.
I have a Mahina too. A very good effect gives the replacing of the cable.So just an update, I have swapped my set of Moonlight for a Mahina.
The bass is now enhanced (fuller, but not excessive) and balanced with the vocals no longer too forward but still keeping the smooth presentation.
Penon audio had them for sale for 11.11, so I grabbed a set and they arrived a couple days ago. I'm also waiting on my replacement Kinera Norns to arrive to compare them with the Canons. The Norn was a real revelation to me, so clear and revealing.They missed a trick not discounting the canons

The Canon has a power to it that I'm enjoying and is great at making music fun.

I haven't played too much with the switches, as I've been doing some cable swapping first. I'm a treble / clarity junkie so I'm using 001. I did try the 101 setting, but the Canon already has big bass, so I haven't needed that. I can't say I'm hearing as much sound adjustment with switches as I've read about. Maybe it's because the pins are so tiny that once I've moved them, I can't remember what it sounded like before!!Congrats sir, what tuning setting do you prefer so far?!
Yeah, it will be interesting. I'm not a collector, and prefer more of an all-rounder, so I will likely let go of one of the 2. I was really impressed with Norn, but the DD driver in the left ear went out and thankfully Kinera is sending a replacement set from China, so it will likely be 10 days before I get themWould love to see a Canon vs Norn comparison
I stepped on my moonlights just replaced them with mahina
Yeah happened to me for the 3.5 when I got the mahina thoughI'm now also part of the Moonlight club. Just received them. But it seems like it doesn't matter with which termination you order them, because I got a 2.5mm cable, instead of a 3.5mm cable as requested - a problem a lot of people had before me.
Hopefully customer support can rectify the situation, as Yanyin IEM's are reported to work better with a single-ended cable (due to the low output impedance).
