Ick. Was thinking of picking this up, but I’m tired of BA timbre, especially after FD5.
Then I definitely dont rec it to you. Even that dd sounds more like a BA with some dd texture to me…

If that’s the case, then to say that this IEM would be redundant for me is an understatement.
But anyone looking for a well tuned, high quality IEM, the Dusk would probably be a good choice.
Probably, but I see the B2 as a specialist iem for more typical weeb songs or electronic/vocaloids music (music without real instruments).

Definite pass for me then. Thanks for your continued valuable insights.
Np, glad to save you some cash.
After the FD5 it is hard to go back to something that isnt really natural.
Although I am currently wanting to give ba iems another chance, thats why I bought the newest Audiosense DT100 with its single side-firing BA.
Very similar to those sony BA´s and those are godly.

Waiting for my pair to arrive… CNY put some delay to my order but it is what it is.
Hoping it’s a good upgrade to the starfields. I still love mine

How is the blessing 2 dusk for bad recorded music? Is it ok or is it ruthless?
My pair just came in yesterday. I was originally interested in the OG Blessing 2, but then when crinacle announced the Dusk, I was pretty much set on the Dusks.
The only other IEM that made me think twice about getting the Dusks were the Tanchjim Darling’s. I just found the Darling’s interesting in terms of style/aesthetic and sound signature coming from the Starfields. However, the $100 price difference between the Dusk’s and the Darling’s were what sold the Dusk’s for me.
As someone who was looking for something with less bass after starting with the RHA MA750 back in 2017, I first turned to the Starfields which are still amazing at providing great soundstage with nice smooth treble, and controlled bass. Then as of yesterday, I’ve been listening to the B2 Dusk’s and wow… They are a great upgrade to the Starfields
The Blessing 2 Dusk’s still offer a controlled bass experience, where you get bass where you want, without it being too much. Just the right amount for my taste, even if it’s noticeably less than the Starfields. The mids and treble on the Blessing 2 Dusk’s are really where they shine in my opinion. The mids and treble are clean, rich and detailed. They made me realize just how warm the Starfield’s are. The Starfield’s sound cloudy when compared to the clarity and richness that the Blessing 2 Dusk’s provide.
Onto detail and sound stage. Perhaps the slightly lessened low end on the Blessing 2 Dusk’s are what makes the details in the mids and highs stand out more. These things pick up details that I didn’t hear previously with the Starfields. In terms of soundstage, the two do sound similar, but the Blessing 2 Dusk has noticeably better separation between instruments/layers. This makes it feel less crowded, making music with a lot of instruments/layers (like Perfume’s music, or 80’s disco/funk/pop) a lot more comfortable to listen to without getting overwhelmed.
Overall, if you’re looking for an upgrade to the Starfield’s, the Blessing 2 Dusk’s do the job.
I still do want to listen to the Tanchjim Darling tho… Just out of sheer curiousity.

it handles that very well actually, it does have the detail to show how well recorded a song is but it doesnt kill bad recorded ones if that makes sesne

I tried buying a pair in China and funnily enough they wouldn’t sell me one. Oh well guess i’ll spend my money elsewhere.
Anyone who listened to B2D and Sony Ex800st? How does these two compare? Or should I save more and get the Dunu SA6?
Thank you! The SA6 looks really good. Can you choose the faceplate?
Is B2D definitely better than FiiO FH3? The price is 2X more
