I have been blessed - Moondrop x Crinacle DUSK IEMs 

agreed

I refuse. Change MY mind

Correction, we NEED DTT (Dan Tech Tips), not LTT.

Agreed. Dan is the best part of LTT

We need dan, to review a dan clark headphone

Maybe because he is in one xD

My theory is that the primary mic died and the audio was recorded by the camera's mic. Then they just boosted it in editing. I know nothing about video nor audio, btw.

Yeah, almost sounds like they're using the camera mic. Just checked some older Short Circuit videos and the audio is a bit echo-y on all of them, but not near this level.

yep sounds bad

Ya, noticed that too. Always funny when something funny happens on an audio product review. lol :D

That’s a really good idea

That’s an amazing idea. This would really help understand the response they show.

Yeah, that's the standard for pretty much all audio reviews.

that's good idea for reference, especially when they talk element of music they hearing. but, as crinacle said. best music to test audio equipment is music that you familiar with.

I support this

Yeah sounds a lotta reverb

Theres no background music.

@@Nayr_uk Yes there is

Yea, it's been an issue for a month or two maybe

Noticed that as well. A lot of reverb lately.

The artifact noise comes from the magnetic planar, every single one I've tried no matter the price whether over the ear or in ear always has that horrible noise, some tuning and some cables enhance the noise more than usual

Not an issue with the Diokos ​@@mightymushroom4980

@@mightymushroom4980 it’s from the FreeDSP cable. It’s not present if you’re using it analog. As well I also hear it with other Moondrop IEMs that use that cable, as well as any other IEM when using that specific cable. It’s an artifact that even in measurements , it seems to fluctuate its volume the quieter the surrounding audio is, rather than just a typical noise floor issue that’s always there in the background. Crin is looking into it with moondrop

​@@mightymushroom4980 Nope, it's introduced by the DSP cable. The cable also adds the same noise to all other brands of IEMs that it's connected too. With the analogue cables the dusk has none of this noise. Also the noise is not there If you use the same dsp settings introduced through an app without the dsp cable.

@@mightymushroom4980 nah, planar just had that higher sensitivity source matter

But don’t worry… they have a 256gig model for only $3,700

People definitely won't buy it for the internal storage. Even the cheaper walkman models or cheaper audio players in general always have a 1 or 2tb supported micro sd card slot.

And.... It isn't even the japanese model with higher power output

@@velocity790 When I found this out, I took it as Sony's passive-aggressive response to the fact that they don't give a rat's ass about NA/EU consumers when it comes to portable audio.

@@Dicloneus66 it's something to do with compliance with NA/EU hearing loss law bla bla bla.... If I have a dB for every time I hear about politics, I'll already have hearing loss.

I'm interested into the salnotes rn, how good it is?

the Hola is discontinued sadly

I have the Zero 2 and they are fantastic, even though I own another more expensive IEM too :D ​@@retrofizz727

I got the Moondrop Chu 2s recently and I freaking love them.

Yes! I have the LINSOUL 7HZ x Crinacle Zero 2, and they are mind blowing for the price.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!

Yeah this comes up in a lot of their IEM videos. A lot of mention harsh highs or boosted treble just by looking at the graph without any acknowledgement of the pinna and the affect it can have.

Yeah all of this analysing yet its well established that we hear bass less the lower the volume however we call iems that sound good at low volumes boosted junk. Audiophiles are a joke.

So when it comes to length mode resonances in IEMs, it absolutely is an issue that can't easily be solved since depending on the air volume of the individual, the resonance will shift around a lot. It is true that you see these at various intervals in measurements as well, but the solution is not to standardize insertion depth for IEM measurements, rather it's to measure at multiple insertion depths to see how the response changes depending on air volume differences. Additionally, these measurements were done on the B&K 5128, which uses a pinna and real ear canal - notably different from the typical canal extension tube measurements you find with GRAS 711 clones that have a small cylindrical chamber where you in theory could change the insertion depth manually. Whenever you're measuring with the pinna (even on the GRAS systems, as they should be measured), your insertion depth is standardized to where the IEM can physically fit based on the pinna itself. Or in other words, when measuring with a pinna you inherently give every IEM that achieves a seal a reference position with the tips being used. Change the tips, and you can potentially change the reference point. With regards to the Dusk, the massive treble peak isn't just a length mode resonance issue, there's legitimately excess upper treble there, even though there can be length mode resonances higher up as well. A lot of IEMs have this, not merely because of the length mode feature (whose strongest point is often closer to 8khz), but because boosting the upper treble effectively masks the lower treble resonances that occur for individuals. It's one way manufacturers have tried to solve the problem of varying air volumes for individuals due to differing canal sizes. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but I can also understand why it's there.

Do you mind sharing some iem recommendations for someone who is treble sensitive?

Not the faceplate.. AGANE

What quality control? >D

Now i missed my Aria. LOL

nah that phone is ass .. specially if u open them it a mess cheap ass battery inside of that phone and using the same dac as their dawn pro which is cs43131

yess

Really curious about that one

it ass 50$ inside a 159$ ass phone ...using cheap ass battery brand noise ass hell

​@@alfarizi2179What?

They really are great!

Some told me that the ANC sucks, but also none of them told me another 30 dollar that has ANC that is 'decent' for them, this thing is freakin great for the price

I'm a huge fan of my Katos. I'd love to try the Dusk, but the large nozzles terrify me.

Dusk's nozzle is fairly smaller than the blessing 3

I had those but the right earbud got really quiet one day and i don't know why

Just leaving this here to make easier, if you’re on android you can use wavelet, the profile is most likely there already, just plug the headphones in and search, very easy, very useful for headphones overall

As someone who loves eq ing to harman target its so tedious to keep switching to different profiles on different devices each time. the cable is one size fits all

@@pikkyuukyuun4741 yes. But not all devices have a usb c out. Take my desktop for example, I'd have to run some kind of a usb extender cable to be able to use the iems. For me setting up a simple eq in Equalizer APO is much simpler. Just set to the output I use most often for IEMs, and then turn it on & off depending on what I'm using. Takes 10 seconds tops.

@@8lec_R that 10seconds is enough to annoy anyone

@@pikkyuukyuun4741 bro plugging my iems in and switching outputs takes me longer lol. Not to mention hooking them on my ears. That's honestly why I don't switch IEMs more often, cuz it's a hassle. Switching eq profiles is the least of my worries. Alt+Space>type "apo">turn off other eq profile and turn the one I want to use on with 2 clicks.

Aint no way 💀💀💀💀

💀

It's trannicle

Still would.

@@yesterdaysjam2405 down bad

Got Moondrop Aria SEs, though they are now my secondary iEMs as I got Truthear Hexa's. The Aria's with spring tips are just much more comfortable for long sessions.

Starfields were too sibilant for me

the worst part about it is the microphonics, i have a minidsp with my variations and i literally cant use it unless im sitting down and not moving

Can confirm. Bought two, one for me and one for my bf but have problems with the cables from both sets. Super disappointing

@@v000000000000v I got a free DSP and it's basically unusable on sensitive IEM's, out of my 2 watch boxes of IEM's I can use it on like 2 IEM's lol

@@chrisk3127 man i wish there were other usbc -> 2 pin options for phone use

Moondrop and shit Quality Control name a better duo

Piercing sibilance on those

haven't watched that one yet, what's the tldw

Why is it infamous?

@@Kunu_ audiophile controversy/reactions to it (abyss headphones themselves are pretty controversial apparently)

@@Asianese linus tries 5000-dollar headphones from a 20k or so rig and likes them (there were no tests done, which is fine, but I'd love to see them test every headphone)

@@mipacem huh, I don't really get that. That video is what got me into audio and watching DMS.

everyone has been saying this though
