Woah if the MKIII is actually $1000 I’m in. I fully expected them to increase the price but it makes sense due to the Prestige LTD being in the lineup. Nice, thanks for the confirmation
Corsair buys Drop.
only their keyboard stuff is spoken about though, so only time will tell what happens to their audio parts.
corsair getting decent audio maybe? lol
plus premium keebs
Corsair went public 3 years ago and is owned by hedge funds now, so all they want is $$$
Harmon Kardon shows off their Aura Studio 4 speaker.
how do these sound? well, the previous releases that is, are they any good?
Over a week has passed and I must admit that this JCally has been growing on me. Not sure if it’s me that adjusted or the device itself - but it seems to sound much, much better.
Great separation and clarity. Just enough energy to the lower notes - which saves warm headphones from becoming muddy. Yet, I wouldn’t call it bright. It’s neutralish and seems to give those lower frequencies a tiny bit more power than Tanchjim Space.
The most important thing: it’s my first DAC/AMP that does not make any clicking/popping sound when you plug or unplug anything to it. It’s dead silent.
I love it!
Moondrop Starfield 2
Ahhh Moondrop, the finest sounding IEMs, if you don’t mind them falling apart in a few months, and it isn’t like Moondrop stands by their warranty.
personally the only issue I’ve had with moondrop was a bad cable and they sent me a new one right away ymmv
I have owned 4 Moondrop products, the oldest ( SSP ) is the only one that made it past 6 months, and it is still fine, I just don’t listen to it very often.
I have 3 Moondrop IEMs and the newest is 2 years old; all 3 are working perfect now as they did from new.
Bought Variations off amazon and faceplate almost came off 2 weeks in, .78mm connectors became loose with the stock cable too. Ez return.
2 hours left until live stream.
Edit: Trailer was very dissapointing…less info than what is already leaked here:
Bunch of reviews have dropped for the XM5.
Here is one of them.
(still no graph afaik.)
welcome to HFG, wueer01! it sucks to have a bad experience like that and now you can commiserate with others who know your pain.
So I ignored the Starfield II news initially since the first one wasn’t very interesting to me, until something was pointed out to me - it comes with a vent plug for increased bass, the apos listing just briefly mentions it but moondrop website has a graph:
Needless to say they got my attention now.
Soooo V shaped though! Strong eardrums required. I have to tap out on shallower Vs than that.
well well, this is interesting.
(+20db sub boost at 20hz!)
something about a cover too if you don’t want that much bass
