1. If u already have bright iem (blessing 2 / ety, etc) and looking for something as the opposite compliment, starfield is the one.. 2. If u want the best harman tune and cannot afford S8, get oxygen
@@I3asyl just do it. It's worth it. I just got KXXS before KATO was release, now I'm feeling a bit unlucky knowing the price is not that much of a difference
finding the subtle differences between things is always tricky and as someone who's tossing up between them all, this is super helpful! great job on explaining the relationship between them all. I think Kato is for me.
Oxygen can be found for $200 on Drop which is a steal if I've ever seen one. Rip all the other IEMs, especially KATO and Hana 2021 which go for almost the same price (Excluding sale events.) The Oxygen is one of those very few special IEMs given that it came out over 3 years ago and is still a very relevant IEM in it's own price bracket.
BGGAR recently released the HBB Olina for $99 which uses the same driver as the Oxygen and sounds virtually identical 🤙🤝 he single handedly wiped out the competition 😅
Done, just purchased the Starfields. I want something with detail, imaging and something I can use as a daily driver. So the tameness of them is good. I'm sure they are a step up from what I use currently either way and if they are tame it only leaves room for me to continue to upgrade. If I got all out and spend $300-500 on a pair then I won't know where to go next or could feel like I wasted money if they don't turn out to sound impressive enough.
@@TheTrailMixTV I enjoy the sound but can't get them to stay in my ear. The metal body and shape causes them to slide out after a while. I have some much cheaper earbuds that fit better so I use them instead.
@@burns0100 Hey, I'm sorry to hear that. I was realy intrested in the Starfields but you scared me off them now :D Which IEMS are you using , and is the imaging as good as Starfield? I'd like the best imaging for FPS games and footsteps being highly important.
@@eamesarch9929 I'm actually using KZ Zex Pro's with the wireless attatchment for everyday use and gone back to my Sennheiser HD58X with FiiO E10K for music listening. IEM's for me are more about fit then anything else, the Zex Pro have this semi custom moulded fit to them that just give me the perfect seal. I actually swapped out the eartips for the Starfield ear tips as they are a slightly smaller rounder ear tip. I've ignored all the KZ hate because for me they work for what I use them for. I essentially wasted my money on Moondrop because despite them sounding great they fall out of my ears with the slightest movement over time. I'd suggest watching reviews and trying to see if anyone talks about the fit of them. Personally think metal IEM's might be too heavy for most people if they can't be inserted deep enough. Tin T2 was another option or the Etymotics which do insert deep into the ear.
Finally receive my tanchjim oxygen and I love it so much! I remember watching that one review you did for it, and it push me to purchase one. I don't know if it was a false memory but I can't find that video anymore. I was thinking about leaving the comment to thank you since the oxygen is my new favorite iem! Anyway, love the content man. keep up the good work!
It feels like you made a compelling argument for both the Moondrop Starfield and Kato; the Starfield being a good budget option and the Kato being an upgrade above the Starfield. I'm not complaining, my Starfield is awesome and out of other options (except for the Aria) its case makes it a great portable iem.
@@Gizaudio Have you tried tripowin Olina yet? Does it sound the same as oxygen and/or hana 2021, or better than them? Is Hana 2021 much better than Aria? I have the Aria, but I didn't like it that much, I found it dark in the high mids and highs, but I liked the sub-bass part, to feel the texture ( I got used to the zs 10 pro) if the Olina is the same as both (Hana 2021 and oxigen), would it be a good option for me? Or will it be the same as the Aria, dark in the highs?
@@Gizaudio and how could I improve the sound of Aria with cables or tip to have those high mids and highs lost? if yes which one would you recommend(links if you have).
Thanks, mate! Unfortunately, I had Oxygen in the past and the nozzle was bothersome to get a good fit due to the rather short nozzle. I will try my luck with KATO hoping it'll be similar and share the same amazing vocals.
how about the bass performance of Kato? I have a piece of oxygen. to be honest oxygen I feel like it lacks of bass both on quality and quantity. which will make the sound too clean sometimes. though the mid and treble are great.
Have you tried changing the cable on the Oxygen? Think the stock cable(in my case) has the wrong polarity by default and it fixed my case(that sounds just like yours). But I do hope you got the ‘right’ cable to boot
haha so many good iems to choose from makes it overwhelming 😅. but I'm eyeing on aria and starfield but I'm worried about the paint will chip away later on.
Go for the Oxygen if you have the $$$, it's the best set by a hair due to price reasons. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with any of the other three sets. I think the Hana 2012 gives buyers the best overall value because spending around $90 extra for the Oxygen won't be an option for some people due to price or the small performance not worth the extra cost.
Thanks dude, I'm looking forward to buy the kato now, only thing is that I fear that I will get fatigue out of these. I own the Arias and they just destroy my ear after some 30 minutes of listening. I don't know if it its the mids or the treble. Also, I almost exclusively hear music with female vocals so I was considering the Hana, but maybe I'm really thinking I need to look at some other IEMs entirely
@@Antonio-nn2kq because of the experience I had the with the Aria I unfortunately did not bought the Kato , so I can't help you there. The kato definitely has that scratchy, "metalic" high end from what I gathered, its like a feature from the moondrop signature so I would look at the hana if you disliked that too.
I have blessing 2 and kxxs , b2 very clean sounding instruments very clear life like , the kxs has more body full control bass and very nice mids. So when I play a certain Playlist like less bass I go for b2, with sings that has bass guitar and so on I grab kxs .
I have had my aria for half a month and bought some blessing 2's yesterday on the 11.11 sale. Defininetly recommend getting those. heard nothing but good things
@@ddmareo i see. well if thats the case get the kato/hana. I mean they are all expensive in my opinion, but tbh bro all of the moondrop products are worth it. get what you are comfortable with for your budget
I would take the KXXS over the Blessing 2. The new Kato is even better than the KXXS. Yes the B2 is more detailed than all these single DD iems, but I find those single DD iems more coherent sounding.
Great video mate. I'm searching for my first iem. I was going to buy a cheap one like the KZ ZS10 Pro or the KZ ZSX but after a few hours of searching , I found Moondrop Aria and Starfield. So most of the time I'm listening to bass heavy music with vocals. After many reviews I realised that the Aria one has a bit more bass but less control in that area and the Starfield one has a more controlled bass and a bit better mid. Is it worth paying 30$ more for the Starfield or save the money ( buy the Aria for now) and buy the Kato one later on ? P.S I was thinking of buying another cable/foam tips too.
I'm thinking of upgrading my kato's cable. And it also need to be interchangeable plug cable. Will moondrop pcc cable ok? And also eartips, I'm ok with springtips but also want a pair of foam tips. Which foam tips ll be the best for kato as well?
Planning to get the KATO and Yume but not at the same time (around 6 months to my next purchase) not sure what should I get first as both of them have the same price tag on my area, what is the better pick in terms tonality, imaging, treble extension? (edit: just ordered the KATO for around $140 which is probably a damn steal, I can't wait for it to arrive. And probably a better choice especially it is my first iem)
@@Gizaudio Just received it and after listening to it a couple of hours, your reviews on KATO are definitely honest, accurate and helpful. Thank you so much 😉😉😉 For the moment I use my phone and PC as the source but probably in the future I'll get a DAP which you had been reviewed.
Timmy, can there be a future comparison between Kato and the DUNU Falcon Pro ? Both IEMs have interchangeable nozzles and sell near the $200 price point . . .
How come Moondrop B2 or Dusk weren't added to the comparison? Oxygen vs Moondrop B2 are my back and forth rn, and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer which is better
Hi! Could you, please, describe the differences between Oxygen and B2, mainly in technicalities and upper mids/lower treble sharpness? What are theirs respective strengths and weaknesses? Which one has more treble extension and perceived "air", better sounstage and instrument separation? Which one of those you found to be more universal across musical genres? I'm choosing between these two and the Timeless to listing get on this BF as an upgrade to the Ikko OH10.
If all of these are neutral, then what would you recommend for more "warm" or fun sounding IEMs? I didn't like the Aria's because the vocals felt too far away, faded in the background. I heard that the new Hana's had more dynamic presence than the Moondrop IEM's. :\
How do these compare to moondrop blessing 2? My friend is offering me his pair for $200 so I could get those or go for kato or timeless or something. That or I can go for Aria and just call it. What would you recommend. 200 is my limit and the blessing 2 seems like a deal what do you think?
HMM i think we have different taste about the oxygen, I think oxygen kinda warmer than any of my gears. I like better the kato which is more mids forward and has that unique emphasis on bass. Oxygen is so bad for the price for me. I feel like its wonky in a way.
@@freefoyah2992 yeah.. I heard that's confused me more :) oxygen and mele sounds similar.. And i own mele too.. Actually there is no treble at all in mele.. I like the bass and mids... But highs are pathetic
Aunt(to her friends) - I don't know what's wrong with my nephew he holds these rolled up janky ass wires in his hands and records himself in my kitchen while saying weird things like air, thump, weight, boominess, seperation, image, etc and none of the things have any relation to each other don't know if i should talk to him or not. I think he broke up his gf Aria because of kxxs[he was shy and didn't want to use word sex in my home] 🤣 ps- don't get offended guys
@@Naitsugo Would be excellent sound but, the sound changes a lot when you switch from the rubber to foam ear tips becomes a bit thinner and harsh with foam tips because the foam tips are so long in length but they stay in my ears nicely. For me and probably others the rubber tips are unusable I tried every size and they slowly slide out of my ear canal because of their shape. The rubber tips have the best sound though and third party rubber tips I had sounded too bassy and not as great. Also listening to iems in general you will hear constant rustling sounds when ever you move you head or open your jaw, which is a problem that does not exist or is way less noticeable with over ear headphones.
@@Gizaudio Which one is sharper in the upper mid and lower treble in your opinion? Also, which one has more treble extension and perceived "air"? Does Blessing 2 beat Oxygen in sounstage size and separation? Your answer will help A LOT.
What is best? Anything not made in China. Its all Chinese garbage. Sony XBA-H3 from 2014 is still going as if its brand new. Meanwhile this Chinese piece of shit Aria broke in less than three weeks, after barely being used at the office where I have other headphones. I took my XBA-H3 into the jungles of Latin America, then to the far east -Asia, in the dirt trash blowing air of India and rainy Bangladesh and then ran over it by my car but some scratches and still works like its new. After that, years of usage - but this won't last a month and most would say, "oh, its just a bad one." No, its not, its the same with every other garbage they make.
1. If u already have bright iem (blessing 2 / ety, etc) and looking for something as the opposite compliment, starfield is the one..
2. If u want the best harman tune and cannot afford S8, get oxygen

@@freefoyah2992 yeah.. I heard that's confused me more :) oxygen and mele sounds similar.. And i own mele too.. Actually there is no treble at all in mele.. I like the bass and mids... But highs are pathetic
if i had T-force Yuan Li final ver.
want upgrade in micro details in treble, and more airy and sparkle, which is better Hana 2021 or Kato?
To upgrade from the Yuan Li I would suggest IKKO OH10
Starfield or aria for gaming?
Best for gaming ? like warzone ?
How about the oxygen vs er2xr?
I have tin t2 it's worth upgrade to aria??
Aunt(to her friends) - I don't know what's wrong with my nephew he holds these rolled up janky ass wires in his hands and records himself in my kitchen while saying weird things like air, thump, weight, boominess, seperation, image, etc and none of the things have any relation to each other don't know if i should talk to him or not.
I think he broke up his gf Aria because of kxxs[he was shy and didn't want to use word sex in my home] 🤣
ps- don't get offended guys
"Strenght" (@2:24)
power
guys, Starfield or OH1?
which is better with a sennheiser momentum
You said Oxygen the best but vote for the Kato against the 95%ish Oxygen Hana 2021. Dosent make sense
Olina SE has left the video
this video is mega old
@@Gizaudio hahahaha no offense bro just a joke🤣🤣🤣
Where is Yume
Yume is always with me
listened to this video with my Kato..
Nice!
Whats your opinion?
@@Naitsugo Would be excellent sound but, the sound changes a lot when you switch from the rubber to foam ear tips becomes a bit thinner and harsh with foam tips because the foam tips are so long in length but they stay in my ears nicely. For me and probably others the rubber tips are unusable I tried every size and they slowly slide out of my ear canal because of their shape. The rubber tips have the best sound though and third party rubber tips I had sounded too bassy and not as great. Also listening to iems in general you will hear constant rustling sounds when ever you move you head or open your jaw, which is a problem that does not exist or is way less noticeable with over ear headphones.
@@jjglaser i see, what about how they isolate the outside sound?
@@Naitsugo Yeah they work well to isolate outside sound.
6 kato owners are extremely upset
good
thanks!
Kz zs10 pro🙌🙌
Needs to test these with identical cables.
Just buy the er2se already
Already own it....both SE and XR
Hey, Timmy. Is the hyped timeless better than oxygen?
Congrats on moving out of ur bedroom 😂
lol thanks
Energy, sparkly treble, forward….no thanks! Not if I’m listening for more than 5 minutes……. 🙄
I sent back my Starfields. They made violin tracks I like sound screechy and sibilant. So I don't buy the praise for the treble.
hmm the treble on the Starfield is pretty tamed. I wouldn't say it's the best treble, just relaxed.
Poggers
pure poggers
How close is the Oxygen to blessing2 in terms of sound? In what aspects does blessing2 surpass oxygen?
not that close. Oxygen has clearly more bass. The Blessing 2 beats Oxygen in pure details and natural tuning.
@@Gizaudio Which one is sharper in the upper mid and lower treble in your opinion? Also, which one has more treble extension and perceived "air"? Does Blessing 2 beat Oxygen in sounstage size and separation? Your answer will help A LOT.
@@Gizaudio B2 - better details means it's flat like ATH M40X...right???
.
First ..
thanks!
What is best? Anything not made in China. Its all Chinese garbage. Sony XBA-H3 from 2014 is still going as if its brand new. Meanwhile this Chinese piece of shit Aria broke in less than three weeks, after barely being used at the office where I have other headphones. I took my XBA-H3 into the jungles of Latin America, then to the far east -Asia, in the dirt trash blowing air of India and rainy Bangladesh and then ran over it by my car but some scratches and still works like its new. After that, years of usage - but this won't last a month and most would say, "oh, its just a bad one." No, its not, its the same with every other garbage they make.
