Moondrop Blessing 3: Living on a prayer
Sound Profile
neutral
Overview
Moondrop dropped the ball on this set, full stop. It has a bunch of potential and for those looking for a low volume set with good technicalities, you might be happy with this set but I cannot recommend it in any fashion because I believe its a money grab to later push out a “Dusk” version that will actually bring out the best out of this set. In short, the bass quality with the 2DDs is there and with a bit of EQ this set becomes really really good but without it it just feels empty. Bass is barely existant unless you have a track with really elevated bass.
Details
Treble/Technicalities
Good air and good to okay imaging. Might be a little harsh if you are treble sensitive and pump up the volume to get some bass but at normal volumes details come through really well. Stage isn’t particularly special, everything feels pretty in front and not particularly wide or deep
Midrange
Mids are clean and vocals come through accurately. Not too forward and not to recessed. I actually like the placement and replay of vocals on this set and it has the potential to be a killer vocal set. Some Instruments can lack the bite needed to sound authoritative and authentic and same with vocals that hit the low registers.
Mid bass
What mid bass? But seriously, there is a hint of potential in the mid bass. Kick drums have a faint thump however it’s so subdued it’s hard to get much texture out of it. Bass hits on hip hop tracks are more noticeable and have a nice mellow natural to them. There is good tactility there and its a very clean hit, not loose or flabby.
Sub bass
Ha ha ha. There is some rumble in the sub on certain rap and dem tracks but that can push air but its not enough to get feel the emotion of those tracks. Outside of tracks that really boost those frequencies good luck finding any sub bass.
