moondrop posted pictures of this iem a while back on weibo, when it was first in production. it looked massive tbh, a lot bigger than something like sony's wf-1000xm3.

i'm pretty sure it won't have anc, if i recall correctly from a conversation on the shenzhen audio discord a while back, and it might be tuned like a 'wireless kato'.

as with any new release, it's all about pricing! moondrop has to price this well to compete - the tws market around 100-200USD is very good, with products like the new galaxy buds and final audio's tws lineup.

Sharp edges, big pieces... That's going to be not very comfortable for a lot of people

They've looked at Shuoer's Tape IEM and got jealous.

big ass tws is a no for me, wish they made something like earfun free pro/fiil T2 pro

That's an absolute unit!

I'd give it a chance. Sparks are also a lot chunkier than their wired versions (here's Starfield next to Sparks) and I find them perfectly comfortable.

On the other hand I'm not a fan of the Chu form factor, so for me it's a gamble whenever the earpiece isn't concha-shaped

This is a very easy "NO WAY" for me.

I'll give them a chance if I can return them. I've got big ear canals and s big tragus. Makes tws hard to find

Yeah that's the hard part - you're stuck with 'em even if they don't fit.

Based on your description, I'd take a guess that you find an issue with nozzles feeling uncomfortable, with stuff like Bose QuietComfort other ones with oblique angled insertion tending to fit better than most?

I remember a discord log of these suggesting they'd come with PEQ, if so this could be quite the piece.

Starting to think Moondrop fluked out with their handful of successes.

too big

If they price at more than 100 USD, it wont sell well. Compare to Samsung Buds 2 Pro...the Moondrop is just over price Sony Xm3 with no ANC

Basically the same as the WF-1000XM3.

Really excited for this one. Moondrop CEO said it would be a “wireless Kato with PEQ” and that sounds damn impressive.

That's a bit more rounded/

No not quite.

Stems never feel comfortable, they always hurt. I do need an oblique angled nozzle. And I need big tips. I got XL spinfits for my wired buds, those stay in

Trying to keep an open mind but not sure about that design. But I guess at this point it's nice to have different design language even if it's not for me

I don't think they're going to try to sell tons of them I think it's going to be a more niche high margin product. This is not competing for a lot of the same years as people that will buy the Galaxy buds pro 2.

I guarantee you this will be expensive and high margin, and it won't sell a lot but they'll make a fair amount of each sale.

The value proposition for these are not going to be appealing to people that are shopping between stuff like Sony or apple or 1more.

Personally, I won't buy them in all likelihood but I understand the business model they're going for. I value active noise cancellation, price to performance, app support.

Although I think the Galaxy buds pro 2 have been pretty disappointing. Samsung has a lot of loyal Samsung users that pretty much buy anything they release. That does a lot of heavy lifting for them.

Well yes, but actually no. Samsung have never disappointed me with any of their products. Unlike Sony and Apple

People complain about big tws but im a big fan of the galaxy buds line up. Idek weather it's that I don't even care about the size or if I PREFER the bigger size. Eaither way the most important things for me is sound and battery life.

A majority of their products being the best I'm their class isn't a fluke lmao. We haven't even heard these yet eaither.
