Sorry, I meant to say Moondrop Kato IEM. Old age!!!🤭
I just bought this IEM, and I mentioned to Angelears that I bought based on your review. Thanks a lot for your work and commitment, Dave.
Awesome 👍😎 Look forward to hearing your impressions.
Hello I would just like to say thank you so much Dave for this review. You and Akros really sold me on these and I actually managed to get the last stock of the anniversary limited edition version of the bravery in my country (The only difference being the color is red instead of blue). I am really in love with the sound of these, a true all rounder in my book. I tried and almost got the softears volume/the tea 2, but I pulled the trigger on these instead and I'm glad I did. By memory these sound smoother than the volume but not as laid back as the tea 2 which is the perfect sweet spot for me.
Awesomeness. I am glad you enjoy the Bravery. Thank you for the impressions.
This IEM is my dream, every time I think about it, I came to watch your video. Nice work!
Awesome 😎
Glad you found the review helpful.
They look gorgeous… I like the aesthetic
Yes indeed, they're very attractive.
Great review, Dave.
Next review we need to see anime waifu posters covering your walls.
😆
Good morning Dave ☕️☕️
SeeAudio does it again 👍
A decent iem with great ergonomics…or is that EARgonomics😋
Love my copy of the Yume’ Midnight’s by Crinicle ..good to know that some iem
manufacturers are listening to the customers and aren’t following the trend of “flat”..Midd Bass Suckout of late.
Great review as always.
Take care 🙏🏽
I'm happy you like the Bravery that well. For some reason I check reviews after I order iems and the price on Ali is now $230. I just had to and I can't wait to get them.
Awesome. Look forward to hearing your impressions.
Another great video 👍
Woo! That's some high praise from you Dave.
Gotta put the Bravery at the top of my list.
Go for it! I am really impressed with the Bravery. Plus, you can have an opportunity at some amazing giveaways.
High praise for the Bravery.
How does it compare to the 7hz Timeless for you? (I tend to use the 7hz a lot, they're missing some intimacy but I find them very comfortable).
great review as alwways dave. On the other hand, it's too expensive for me gg.
These IEM are interesting, half the reviewers like it, the other half say it’s not worth it.
dave, thanks for the honest and detailed review 🦾🧡
Any time! My pleasure, you're welcome.
Although in a different price range how does this compare to the moondrop kato?
Dave, I have the Kato as well and am looking for the next logical upgrade. Please, a little detail as to the differences between the Kato and the Bravery.
@kevin McCarthy @ Howard Levy Both are exceptional for the price and I highly recommend both. The Bravery is an upgrade to the Kato, even though it is subtle improvements in some areas. The Kato has a little more forwardness in the mids and a slightly wider stage. The Bravery has a tad more bass presence and impact, better treble extension, more air and space, better body and note weight. Both are exceptional with tone and timbre. The Bravery is a touch better with detail retrieval and resolution.
Sounds really nice but more than I want to spend. I'm really pleased with the HiBy FC4. Does the Bravery, in your opinion, warrant that much price difference? Also, did I miss the link for the soft ear tip? Another great review. TU. ❤
SoftEars tip link is in the video popup when mentioned and also in pinned comment.
Yeah I think the Bravery warrants the price tag. But I understand that price tag isn't for everyone.
Hello Dave,
would you recommend the Bravery today or are there better choices for 280$ (black), 300$ (red or blue) & 320$ (red + blue with other cable) [~15% if in offer]?
I think the Bravery is a solid option in 2024. But the Moondrop Blessing 3 is an improvement for a few dollars more.
@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks for the quick answer. I thought that Blessing 3 has a much stronger bass than Bravery? Also i'm more a BA Type than a Dynamic. Originally I startet my Inears *Quest* with Shure SE420 and after 10.000 Hours + broken nozzle I switched to SE535 where the shell will break in ~3 month.
@berndkilian7774 you're welcome. Look forward to hearing your impressions of the Bravery AE.
Is it better choice over Mangird Tea 2 and Yanyin Alladin✌️🙋♂️❓
The Bravery edges out both in my opinion as both the Tea 2 and Aladdin have similar tone and timbre but are behind in detail retrieval, resolution and have more laidback mids and treble presentations.
Thanks Dave, there is an IEM I would like to hear your opinion on, it's called Aür Audio Neon Pro...also full BA set ✌️❤️
I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestion.
Hi there, thank you for your video, im currently using Yume midnight. but i find the bass and lower mid to be little lacking, making rock genres feel a little less powerful and impactful than i would like. you mentioned some experience with the Yume, do you think these would perform better in this case. thanks very much. Have a great day.
Midnight has more sub bass presence. Bravery AE has a slight more mid bass presence.
hey sir! i own the first version of bravery. any chance you get them compared with the limited editon red and this angel ears exclusive? also, i loved the xelastec but i agree it can be uncomfortable at times, and for now, i've found an alternative which is the radius deepmount tips, which for me, sounds very identical with the xelastec. hope you could try them out, too.
If they're provided or funds are available, I'll give them a listen.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Thank you for the tip recommendation.
@@TheHonestAudiophile sure sir! no pressure. i've checked out the softears, they're quite expensive. 😅 the radius costs just around $4-6.
Navy blue sir?
It's kinda in-between navy and royal blue.
@@TheHonestAudiophile red and blue has the same tuning right ?
As far as I understand they do.
@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks. Best resins so far n audio scene.
@@marqie589 My pleasure, you're welcome.
how does it compare to kato? which is better tone and timbre.

Did you experience fatigue quicker than usual listening to the Bravery? I was blown away the first time I demo'd the normal version such that I preferred it to the Dusk but on further demos, I found myself being bothered / overwhelmed by "very sharp" sounds and the bass that I took them off shortly after, which is weird since I never experienced this before when demo'ing the Katos / Dusk / Timeless.
Not sure about the proper terms but that's the best I can describe it as a casual listener lol.
I have not experienced any listener fatigue with the Bravery.
I felt that way with the included Xelastic tips too. Swapped over to the kbear07 tips and it solved the problem for me without losing any bass and treble energy (to my untrained ears anywhere). Moondrop springtips removes the "sharpness" too, but I feel it kills bass + treble.
thats actually bad fit, when you pick tips that cause air pressure. Same with mine with the xelastecs, i swapped to foams and my experience changed.
Salnotes Zero review??? been waiting for it
It's on the schedule along with a bunch of other items. Can only review one item at time.
How do these compare to SeeAudio Yume Ultra? I'm between these two IEM's at the moment. I kind of want to avoid buying yet another Moondrop ie the Blessing 3. SeeAudio seem underrated, hardly any reviews.
Sorry haven't heard the Yume Ultra.
Hi Dave, this special edition is the same tuning like standard bravery or are there some changes? thanks for great review👍
From what I understand the tuning is the same but like the other special editions the shells and accessories are different.
This is the only Bravery I've heard so I can't confirm or deny they sound different.
@@TheHonestAudiophile I've seen some reviews said that the red edition has less bass and focus more on mid and treble than original black Bravery. I wonder what the blue edition sound like compare the original black or red edition. For me, I like the look of the red edition more. And if I'm not wrong, the SeeAudio Yume should be pronounced as Yu - Me' since it's a Japanese word means "Dream"
Thank you Dave, where is Mangird Tea 2 in compare...❓🙋♂️
Tea 2 is similar in tone and timbre but is just a touch behind in detail retrieval and resolution and has a more laidback treble.
Thanks it looks like you prefer Bravery over Mangird Tea 2...🙂✌️
Yes, Bravery edges by the Tea 2 in my opinion.
Bravery has more detail and resolution in the bass, the Tea 2 is a tad warmer and fuller in the bass. I prefer the Bravery bass by a small margin because it is more about quality vs quantity.
thin reviewrs & perpardos
How does the sound-stage compare to the Dauntless? Would you prefer these over the Kato?
Yes I prefer them over the Kato but the Kato is fantastic for it's price point.
The stage is more defined and refined with imaging and depth than the Dauntless but not as wide.
Even better than the Mega5p ?
Sorry I don't know what the Mega 5P is.
I don't see the link for the soft ear tips could you please provide that link
Thanks 😊

@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks😊
My pleasure, you're welcome
Hello,
Can I listen these iem via shanling up4? Will that amplifier be enough?
Sorry I have no experience with the UP4 but the Bravery isn't super hard to drive so I don't see why not.
@@TheHonestAudiophile thank you kind Sir
My pleasure, you're welcome.
More bass than Moondrop S8 when I compare graphs. It is too much for me. Maybe not these iems alone but all recent DAPs are warmer (mid-bas) or with extra rumble. Harman target 2019 is too bassy.
Sorry I haven't heard the Moondrop S8.
they look amazing but i needa rob someone for 400bucks from where im from T_T
