Could you do a comparison vs B2 Dusk ?
thank you,

Got the standard Blessing 2 not the Dusk.

They both have comparable stages width wise which I could have sworn Blessing 2 would have had a wider stage. Going from the blessing 2 to the Aladdin. right off the bat I can tell the height depth and layering for the mids is not even close. In fact the Blessing 2 sounds one dimensional in comparison. Sounds more flat neutral a bit like what we all know how neutral tuning sound is. Its treble is not as refined and as articulate as the the Aladdins treble. Of course the bass end of the B2 was a huge disappointment for me. Don't know how you can use this large dynamic and have it sound like a weak BA bass. I have several all BA iems that have much more authority and rumble vs the B2. Reason why the dusk version exists. It took crinacle to point out how gimpy the bass is on the blessing 2 and that slight splashy brighter treble for them to do a Dusk version. I am very confident the Aladdin is superior in all fronts even if the Dusk corrects the 2 glaring issues with the Blessing 2. Reason being. Its imaging and dimensional qualities are severely lacking in comparison to the Aladdin. No contest there.

Oh and not to mention the Aladdin don't feel like you got rocks in your ear holes.

The only reason why I own a B2 is because these are moondrops traditional house tuning. It is more or less for comparison purposes and in comparison. Aladdin is the superior earphone and not by a little either. It is the lack of dynamics for the B2 that really makes them medicore at best for me. To be fair they sound markedly better with an upgraded cable change but even then they aren't anything special imo.

What can I expect from it, since I'm EDC the Lands and loving them?

Bass of Aladdin should be better in quality than B2...what about the quantity?

I am very certain the 9.2mm bio dynamic is superior on all accounts for bass vs the 10mm paper cone diaphragm moondrop is using. Not to mention it is tuned better. It has better density better agility digs a whole lot better. Bass texture is superior on the Aladdin. There is no comparison to the sub bass authority which ones got it and which one doesn't.

If you feel the bass is not enough for you it is as easy as throwing on 3 dbs on the EQ simple as that. I feel it has perfect accurate bass. Bass end is very refined. quantity is not bass head levels as you can't get basshead levels and be accurate. But you can mess with EQ and get them to punch how you want. I did on both the E12A and the IFI black label. But for me anyways I don't feel they need more quantity for the given whole of the presentation. It is fine the way it is. You will find out soon enough.

I would worry more about your sources if you got a low IO source more than anything.

It is going to be more mid focused sounding IEM in comparison which would give a good contrast vs the LAND. Why would it be a good idea to get something that sounds exactly like your favorites. If you focused on the mids dimensional qualities with a bit less in quantity for both the treble and the mid bass aspect of the LAND you are essentially getting the Aladdin which again will provide a nice contrasting sounding earphone.

Just going to corroborate the sentiment here. I wouldn't personally change a thing in the Aladdins bass. It is very refined and can adapt to whatever you throw at it. Compliments the mids perfectly and works in favour of the stage/imaging by being top quality without bloom.

Just some head-ups for my favorite tuner, Yanyin Technology has 3 lineup for now
- Aladdin (3BA+1DD)
- Canon (4BA+1DD with 3 switch - bass mid treble)
- Rosemary (8BA+1DD with 2 switch - bass treble)

in the picture is Aladdin and my own Rosemary which served as their flagship
and below is the graph for Rosemary (they used to be known as Sorry Audio)
Rosemary still my favorite Hybrid IEMs, even i own VX i still casually listening to Rosemary and still happy with my purchase for it

This Yanyin Rosemary seems interesting

Which is a testament to how refined the sound is in general. These guys went over each aspect of the sound and did not overlook or overcook a thing. You figured that would mean they are ruler neutral mediocre in dynamics good at all aspects and master of none. As far as I am concerned these are a significant step forward for hybrids at this price range.

I found out the reason for the treble to mids of the Aladdin being so cohesive is because the two Knowles BAs they are using is covering the treble and the mids. The single customized BA is for upper treble only. This makes a lot of sense. Why separate a full range BA from also doing the treble to have another BA do the job. In effect these have two BAs doing the full mid bands and is like using 3 BAs for treble as well.

This was the reason why I always thought they sounded like they had way more BAs in the housing vs just 3BAs but if your gonna use 3BA for maximum effectiveness this is how you do it.

I ordered my Aladdin with Express shipping as my meager level of patience has overridden my purse strings!

@Dsnuts how is this Alladin compared to ISN H40?

 

[Dsnuts]

You already own the EST50 which expands upon the H40 tuning. If your asking me if its worth getting the Aladdin if you already own the EST50. I think so. It is more of a mids specialist more so than the EST50 more colored presentation. Dont know if your gonna need the H40 when you already own the EST50 though.

Though if your more of a bass fan the H40 has more in the way of mid bass with just a good sub bass. Aladdin is more sub bass focused has better sub bass texture and density, so that leaves the mids to be nice n wide. Treble is a bit more articulate on the Aladdin but otherwise The H40 and the Aladdin both are exemplary of excellent hybrids for the price ranges. H40s mids presentation has its own advantages and does a dimensional sound as well. Aladdin is a touch better in that regard but the H40 makes up for a bit of a richer tone and a more punchier bass end. H40 is a bit more musical in approach the Aladdin is more tonally accurate. Both earphones compliment each other actually more than actually competes with each other.

Thank you @Dsnuts for the detail.

Aladdin is in the house!
Dude, @Dsnuts this sounds epic!
Impeccable tonality coupled with a very decent technicalities. Time to write a review.

 

[Dsnuts]

Ya they shocked the hell out of me first time I heard them too. They will grow on you too the more you listen to them. It is good that the stock cable matches quite well with them. First time I can recall getting such an awesome experience out of the box. Most earphones I am not gonna get that experience. In fact I clearly warn folks that get the ISN EST50 they need to burn them in or their gonna wonder why their earphones sound so strange. Lol.

I did hear them go through a bit of a bright cycle when I was burning them in over night. Just know it gets smoother afterwards.
