how is subbass quantitiy/quality?
Sounds clean, and fast, not as warm as B80 tho.
@catadegen thanks is there subbass impact and slam ?
@@aaakjhgfdswerty not as much as B80, but with a better sense of depth
In terms of clarity/soundstage/detail, how does it compare to a Kato ? I have tried the Kato and really like it. I'm on the fence on upgrading my CCA CRA/Chu2 with either the Robin or the Kato. Just wondering if the robin is almost as good or is it even comparable? I tried various 50-100$ iems and felt that only the Kato is a real upgrade, understanding that the kato is almost twice as expensive as the robin. I do have a fiio e10k and DT1990 Pro if that changes anything. Thanks for any info you can provide !
@qwerasdf-oy6uo I'd still say Kato with a proper dac amp, is still superior to Robin. But since Robin is a tws with completely different tuning and driver set up, it deserves it's own category I guess. If there's a 1 to 1 wireless Kato, that would be the end of tws journey already (Alice is not that, unfortunately)
Hello, how would you compare this to the variations? is it worth it to buying considering there's a 20 usd difference from the two?
@jettigger77 Sound wise its an definite upgrade from variation imo, just with two concerns: a.size b.female vocal may not be as exciting as variation, comparatively
@@catadegen The size has been a concern ever since i saw it. But it does look stunning compared to the variations. Thank you! I'll keep an eye on it
How well does ldac work for you? These headphones arrived, the sound is interesting and pleasant in standard mode, but when you turn on ldac, you can feel the lag. If you force 990 to be set in the phone settings, then it's really bad for them. Is that the case for everyone, or am I lucky?
Ldac works fine for me. While game mode is an option to reduce latency, audio lag in BT is still inevitable unless you're going something with a 2.4ghz receiver (which is not in BT mode already).
Cant wait to get the Robin so I can hear Robin sing while her whole team throw a space pig, axe, and poker chips at the enemies 😂
vs wyvern Qing ?
@@AcenkGabut-wk3yw Never owned a pair of wyvern qing
Finally got one for myself after anxiously waiting for the chance to buy one. Included pleather protective case is a bit disappointing (incl. the lack of manual EQ) but I think Shenzhen Audio is still selling them as of currently for those who are still looking to get one.
Yup, saw this video and just picked one up
Applied for a job today, so I can save up money for these
Direct take on crin's video on amplifier!
Hii, how does it compare to the blessing 3?
@@anqdnsh Sounds bigger and smoother than b3.
They could have at least threw in one of their dongles....
when does the collab period end
No official statement, allegedly it lasts a year of production period.
Believe him, I just unboxed my Maxwell, both drivers crinkle, it drives me crazy. Even with my head not moving, I tried sitting perfectly still. They sound good, but when it is silent passage it sounds like raindrops on a tin can.
I purchased a set around 1 week ago because i wanted a wireless headset with a similar sound quality to what i already had for gaming (i have hifiman Arya stealths also)... anyway i just returned the maxwell because it had numerous issues... i also had the crinkle sound even when the headset was switched off... i also could not EQ the headphones how i wanted because the internal amplifier was not up to the task, with any kind of higher volume and heavy bass the amplifier would clip and make a god awful sound... I think the maxwells are sadly built down to a price and the amplifier/planar drivers are absolutely of lesser quality. Planars are also clearly compromised in a closed back headphone. In comparison to my stealths its a night and day difference, no crinkling noise and no cheap internal amplifier ofcourse ( i pair my stealths with a idsd signature amp )... but we have to remember the stealths were $1600 when released so quality expectations are to be higher... quite astonishingly you can now pick them up new for around $600 since hifiman have made huge reductions to make way for successor headphones like the Arya unveiled line. So yeh i think the problem with maxwells is even though to gamers they seem expensive they are really not, consider that they have an internal amp, wireless bluetooth/2.4ghz chips, a pretty large battery and are made out of decent materials... something has to give right and i think they cheaped out big on the planar drivers and the amplifier. Its really a shame because being planar magnetic the sound they produce is excellent, planars are just typically tight, fast and detailed but i suspect the ramping up of production when reviews released may have caused QC to fall drastically. If you decide to drop the maxwells, have a look at the hifiman edition XS headphones, they now come in cheaper than the maxwells (thanks to that hifiman price reduction spree, they were over $500 at release), they are an open back design which is ideal for planars, lets them breath... grab a standalone mic (if you plan to game) which are often better than headsets anyway and maybe even an amp like a chord mojo 1 or 2 if you want to get a quality dac in place and you will have one of the best gaming/music listening experiences you can get for not much more than what maxwells came in at with more confidence in quality.
Thanks @jinx20001 for the detailed answer. For the moment I returned the Maxwells and got the MMX 200, EQ'd them to my liking for gaming and youtube and Music with very much bass. The MMX 200 don't reach to the Maxwells, but for the purpose of wireless Headset they are fine. Music sounds okay too. The internal amp has enough power to give them a good bass pressure inside the cans. Need wireless headphones because I have to get up multiple times a gaming session to let the cat in or out, feed her, etc. Was tired of always pausing the video or music or going afk in discord. For dedicated music listening I have AKG K1000 :) Perfect for all acoustic music, classical, some metal genres and rock. Not suitable for Gaming, Pop and Techno at all tho.
Where can you get the 4.4mm Atami cable? It looks really cool and matches well.
I think it's not on sale yet, only gifted to who buy Meteor on Day 1, in their official store.
How big is it compared to the blessing 3?
@Spike626721 iirc there's a size comparison section
Great
Only just found out this channel, am thinking that you are a fellow Hong Konger judging by your accent? In any case, absolutely love this channel, keep up the good work!
@@BBshark000 Exactly, I currently live in HK, and thank you for coming by!
Does anyone know how long the collaboration will be? Are there any official statements about it? I would like to verify it for peace of mind because I want to order them but I have to wait for a bit longer.
@len2619 I heard that it will last for an year, but no official statement from MD.
What is the nozzle size of this IEM?
@bastianhllesli7594 Don't have a thing to measure it, but it's the biggest in my entire load out of coz.
How are are the treble and vocal compared to the monarch mk3? I own Dark Saber Vari B3 Mmk3. Would like to see if these are a good set for instrument congested female vocal songs.
@vera_bh8091 I've never owned a pair of mk3 so really cannot comment much on it. But if comparing to mmk2, this sounds way smoother, bigger and more natural for sure.
My favs are definitely Azla Sednaearfit Light
How are they for fps games? like directional audio ?
@@250kmonths I have only played a game in Apex, and iirc it's very good because of the scale of bass.
Great video! I have a question: I recently got into IEMs and have little experience with them, bought myself Truthear Nova (it was on sale for 100$) couple of months ago and I love them. How much of a jump sound-wise is there between Nova and Meteor? Or Truthear Zero Blue (I think you listed them in size comparison, and I also have experience with them) vs Meteor? Or other IEM in 500$ range
@thisisboyd Welcome to the rabbit hole, and it's hard to measure the scale of improvement, given that things like the balance between tonality and technicality is valued differently by individuals. While the most intuitive upgrade from Nova to Meteor should be the size of bass, imaging and technicality, I'd recommend demoing it later on before buying it because there's no rush for it and you have a decent set already.
@@catadegen Gotcha, thank you!
Wow, otakus really can save lives!
I’m definitely get these, real meteorite is pretty op.
The first time I saw the Meteor, I thought it was a bone conductor.
Eartips have an outlet opening from 3 to 7 mm. The larger the opening - the less low frequencies and more high frequencies, and vice versa. That's all you need to know about the eartips.
simgot EA500LM or Meze Alba
never owned a pair of alba
@@catadegen have you tried the gold nozzles without the foam. Is the gold nozzle from brass or just painted stainless steel. does it make a difference in sound quality ?
@@lifeofemirhan iirc gold nozzle without foam is the same sound as other two without foam.
How did you get these so fast? Are you based in China?
I live in HK.
Hello, the headphones are very good, but the problem is technical - in the right ear there is a battery that reduces the air volume performed by a closed box, and so the diaphragm is designed for a larger obye is deformed (an outfit is dense in the air output). Eleking - gel obstetrics will save -But you need to put them immediately when buying headphones!

@@wacupanic Nah, not a single chance from me again.
did the classic tuning plus spring tips like you suggested and it was AMAZING not my first experience with iem’s, but still my first experience with moondrop, and i’m very happy! i can’t believe im in a situation where my airpods are now a “backup” option 😂 that acrylic block is also so gorgeous like you mentioned-photos can’t capture the holographic foil and color gradients on it
I got it too
I saw this video and immediately bought it. Arrived today and immensely impressed. I thank you for showing me such an amazing product!
so.....does the Bass hit like a Meteor?
@@lonewulfyamcha exactly
Hello cata, I would like to write to you as a fan of moondrop and the iem hobby in general. I need an opinion from someone who actually owns meteor moondrops. At first, when I saw the first photos taken at a convention I found them huge and unattractive, but when I saw your video, what a unique beauty. 500€ is a significant budget for me and I would like to have your opinion on owning them knowing that my most expensive pair are the see audio bravery 2024. Currently I have acquired the moondrop kadenz and aful p5+2. The future purchase that was planned are the tanchjim lost manor in 2025, but I'm afraid that meteor will be out of stock soon. I would like to point out that I have never had the moondrop variations, blessing 2 or dusk 2. Do you think that with the Meteor I can also find my happiness by having some things superior in terms of quality compared to what I already own? PS: thank you for your videos and for convincing me to take kadenz and Robin, I'm delighted.😊
@eargazme Np o/ While I really enjoy my Meteor purchase and want to say something like "trust me bro, you will be happy", there's still two concerns that need to be addressed, size and price. Size is my biggest concern for you ATM, because both of the Kadenz and p5+2 are still in the medium to small size category, and this thing is in the "damn" category. Price wise, 499 is a lot to spend in iem, while I'm pretty sure that you will get a significant upgrade from Kadenz (not gonna talk much about p5+2 since i don't have it), there's still a question that you may want to ask yourself, do you need that 500 for other things, such as dac amp, speakers, headphones etc. It's more important to have a richer listening profile than chasing the cutting edge item on one side imo. If the answer is no, then Meteor is a solid, all rounder choice, that at least, makes me feel like, I have no regret clearing out some older generation iems such as monarch mk2.
@@catadegen thanks so much for your return. I didn't have other planned stuff except the lost manor to buy in 2025. I think ordered meteor soon 😊 And I have an another question, where I buy the atami câble ? I didn't see it on retail store. It is included in the package of the meteor?
@@eargazme The atami cable is not for sale yet, it's a gift from MD if one purchase Meteor on day one from their official CN shop, just like back in the day they gifted line K as the gift for day1 Kato purchase. But don't worry, i think it sounds good enough with the default cable (3.5/4.4) already.
@eargazme please do a follow up comparison to your aful p7 when you got your meteor. Thankss and happy new year 🎉
My pair just arrived and they sound great! Not to mention the Robin influenced design and the acrylic block.
The Titan S2's are fakn' AMAZING!!! These are High Quality Premium IEM's for a freakin' value! These paired with the powerful elegant so manly MuseHiFi M5 Ultra Bluetooth/DAC and Akliam C5 USB-C short adapter cable to my Hi-Res Xiaomi Note 11 Pro+ tuned by JBL and perfectly fine tuned with the Wavelet app the freakin Titan S2 IEM's sound-stage is fkn' INCREDIBLE especially playing the mighty 80's New Wave jams! These Titan S2 package presentation is all premium from the materials used, printing, thickness and high quality of accessories... The sound is incredibly amazing, and it all depends highly on the ear tips you use! The bizarre thing is that for me non of the ear tips that was included with the Titan S2 give me a great sound... Something was missing from getting that incredible sound output and the tips were not working.... it is until I used the extra special ear tips that came in a special small case that the seller (ForHiFi) included that once I picked the correct size that seal my ears channels.... the fakn' music sound out of this world studio quality.... basically I had Sound Orgasm to my ears! The special tips turned these Titan S2's into high premium sound kicknAss earphones.... I was blown away from the crisp details from sounds and things in songs that I thought I never heard before. The bass was so clean and perfect that the whole experience felt like the artist/bands were performing live in front of me! AMAZING and worth every penny! Highly recommended paired with the powerful amazing MuseHiFi M5 Ultra (with vacuum tubes).... Those special tips should be the official ear tips for the Titan S2! p.s. Ok so I found out what the extra special ear tips that were included free by the seller that made these Titan S2 sound incredibly amazing.... and they are the "Divinme Darling Silicone Eartips Tips 4.5mm-6mm Nozzle Improve The Sense / Vocals Are Transparent / Reduce High-frequency Noise"...
What I found is that if the earphone tower chamber end is wide then ear tips with a small hole nozzle would make them sound great. if the end chamber of the earphone is small then a wider ear tip nozzle is the right choice for them...
Divinme Darling Silicone Eartips Tips perfect for the mighty DUNU TItan S2 IEMs....
Such a original design🔥🔥🔥
I just got it today, Robin is my first moondrop earphones I tried and im amazed at the sound quality of it at its price. It sounds as good as my bose qc 2 earphones which cost 3x more when i bought it and it broke on me after 1 year of use (which made me buy the Robin immediately), hopefully the Robin will be able to last at least 3 years of use as my new daily earphones!
Do they sound better than the Galaxy buds 2 pro or the sony link buds s? If so I'll buy them, I'd really appreciate it if you answer, thanks
@HoloTWW2 Never owned the two you mentioned, so really cannot comment much on it, but it sounds better than airpod pro imo.
