Yeah that is in order with A7 at the very top. Probably going to instant buy it the instant it pops up 
The P2 has potential based on my P1 + EQ, but it depends on how tin tunes it…
Sorry trying to keep general IEM discussions in this thread 
No problem, I was the one that made this to prevent derailing other threads.
(not doing a good job at that )

@PapaEmeritus “You should add the Starfield to your list. It is a solid performer. It’s not as fun as the FH3, it’s more clinical, but if you’re looking for a rock solid IEM with great comfort. The Moondrop Starfield is an easy recommendation to make.”
I dont have it lol, but have the KXXS.

I’ve been crazy buying IEMs the last 3-4 months. After hearing the FH3, I’m really not interested in anything else at the moment.
I have THOR MJÖLNIR coming eventually from DROP.
I think the FH3 will hold me over for a while, but I would like to finish off my Fiio collection and pick up the FH5. I’ve never heard it.
After that will either be the Andromeda or IER-Z1R maybe.

Yeah the FH3 made me lose interest in getting more DD/hybrids.
I am still interested in more “exotic” sets (P2 = Planar, A7 = tribrid (DD + 4 BA + Piezo)).
The SSP might be an exception since it is quite cheap and has a beryllium, just going to wait and see how they tune it. Would be nice to have a great budget option alongside the more expensive FH3.
(Exception is if I get a review unit lol, but I dont have any plans to buy more DD/hybrids right now)

The Starfield is a problem because for 20 bucks more, you can have the FH3. The FH3 > Starfield.

…yeah but …are you trying to save my money
The urbanfun is dead in my book because of their damn fucking piece of shit qc. Blon 03 is a bit lacking in technicalities and unless modded with the mesh mod it has bloated bass too (fit can be hell for some too).
The ssp on the otherhand has:
1: beryllium dd
2: moondrop (they are very consistent with their high quality)
3. Fit looks good ( at least better than the 03)
4. …waifu
Cant comment on the Starfield, but yeah it is too close to the FH3 in price.

I hear ya. Just saying, those are probably the best budget options currently. My Urbanfun sounds great, so I got lucky. For only 60 bucks? It’s amazing. But still… The FH3 is so much better than all the other options, I think it has to be the only recommended IEM in the budget/semi budget space. It’s so much better than IEMs with much more expensive price tags, I’d have to recommend anyone thinking of buying any of the cheaper IEMs just save their money and get the FH3.
I’ve heard the SSP does not sound good. It’s a definite skip for me.
The IBasso IT00 is a great sounding IEM. I just hope the driver flex and channel imbalance issues can be resolved.

My urbanfun also sounds great. But i cant tell people to buy it when it is uncertain if they get the “right” one and without mmcx problems (I use tape on mine to secure it…).
Yeah the FH3 is great, but we do need other recs for other people with different taste though.

I believe you are thinking about the SSR not the SSP which hasnt been released yet.
That looks quite horrible to me.
You should add the Starfield to your list. It is a solid performer. It’s not as fun as the FH3, it’s more clinical, but if you’re looking for a rock solid IEM with great comfort. The Moondrop Starfield is an easy recommendation to make.
You’re right. I got them mixed up. I didn’t know there was another upcoming IEM from Moondrop???
Yep, that’s the graph I saw. Horrible to my tastes. That treble peak with no bass and even less sub bass would literally kill me! lol
There ya go. It’s the same thing for only 110 bucks.
I have the KXXX and even though I’ve heard it’s been slightly re-tuned with more bass, I really can’t hear it.
What’s your opinion of the KXXS?
From the reviews on the Starfield I dont think it is a contender anymore.
https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/moondrop-starfield.24121/reviews
If it really is as similar to the KXXS as they say it is (with a bit lesser upper treble). its not worth it in my opinion.
I havent tried it but I have heard good things about the NF Audio NM2.
Did that work ok guys?
Yup, thanks for the work

Although I personally dont really like the analytical sound of the KXXS (Not a single iem above B+ is analytical except for the Blessing 2, but that one kinda brute forces its way with pure SQ lol).
Trying to come up with other recommendations. I can’t suggest the Legacy 3 either because of the QC issues having to do with the tonal variations. I’ve seen charts all over the place of wildly differing FR. My personal set is incredibly dark with least amount of treble of any set I own. I probably should like it more than I do, but I actually prefer more treble and sparkle than my L3.
