MoonDrop Blessing 3 IEMs

A middle ground between the Blessing 2 and the Dusks

I am really liking them. They have a vaguely planar sound to them since the bass is so flat all the way down. Like planar its the quality of the bass not quantity, they are not as bassy and warm as the Starfields but there is no distortion at all down. But the mids and treble are nearly perfect id say. All listening done through a Topping D10 DAC and a Magni 3 AMP. Listening to Another World by Gojira and I can clearly hear the difference in every cymbal crash, place exactly where they are in the set. But they are not fatiguing the way that Beyerdynamics are (for reference I hear up to about 18.5khz). The mids seriously highlight female vocals. Listening to ABC (feat. Sophia Black) by Polyphia and every syllable from Sophia is perfect and completely audible, which in most systems she gets drowned out by the guitars. To the point there there lyrics I could not understand. Listening to Finger - Audiotree Live by Elephant Gym and and clearity in the mids and treble are king here. There is a LOT of cymbal work going on here, and the bass takes lead for this song and its near perfect for this mix. Often the guitar is lost in the mix but the tone comes through clean and vibrant. Switching over to something I expect them to struggle with: this is what heartbreak feels like by JVKE. Personally I do not think this is a very well mixed song. JVKE is often overpowered by either the synths or the bass. And I have to say while there is a lot of clarity here they do not fix the mix, things sound out of balance and his is not as full as it should. Moving on to what I usually use to test out bass: Dead Man Walking by Grant & ellis. It is immediately obvious these are not bass cannons. There is a ton of texture and dynamics to the bass but this is one of the few genres where that upper bass important for the mix to feel full. I would argue they their clarity actually works against them here. You can hear EVERYTHING, even where you're really not meant to hear individual samples. As for pop, I listened to in my bag by thuy. And they once again shine. Her voice is perfect and the clarity highlights it and separates her voice well. Listening to I Really Want to Stay at Your House by Rosa Walton, Hallie Coggins and I love it. This song brings most of my headphones to their knees do to how full the mix is. There is a ton of bass and a soft vocal which means the vocals get drowned out completely if there is distortion. These stay completely un-distorted and everything sounds balanced with a ton of resolution. There is even something I thought was a synth but I actually can hear that its a vocal. Finally some hip-hop. Listened to Legend Has It by Run The Jewels and that clear bass shines wonderfully. Very subwoofer sound. Love it. Overall it is right where I like to be, I am not a huge fan of a bloated upper bass sound, but I DO like a good sub-bass, which these give me a vaguely 2.1 sound, where there a clear heavy sub bass but a clean upper bass like a sub-woofer would produce (which for my taste tends to make the music I listen to sound bloated). They out-perform everything in my collection. 9/10 I think the bass roll off could happen a tad latter and start higher, but that will likely be what is in the Dusk version from crinicle (which he confirmed he is working on). I saw a reviewer say that they are boring in a good way. They tend to just disappear which I think are the best thing a daily driver can do.
