Really happy for you man, I came in January to check out The Hangout and I stole your Dusk from you for like 20 minutes, then you and I bonded over our mutual appreciation for Universal restaurant in Carlton. The Dusk sounded incredible and I'm keen as fuck to get a pair, you deserve a good break now.

I'm REALLY happy this has a DSP cable option but I think it would have been better to sell it separately as an addon and reduce the price for people who don't want it.
Making this into a separate iem with new driver config and everything instead of retuning is a very clever decision. As a blessing 2 owner, this is very very enticing
Hi Crinacle, I noticed some wierd audio crackles in this video. I thought it was an issue with my setup or youtube at first, but it happens at specific points in the video, and isn`t present in other videos. Here are some time stamps, where it`s really noticable: 1:31 (on "that") 1:43 (on "blessing") 2:05 (on the end of "crinacle") 5:27 (on "dusk" and then theres like two more directly afterwards) 7:03 (on "minor") 9:58 (on "yes") there are a lot more, but these are some of the more obvious ones. Could be just some wierd bug with youtube audio, but you may want to look in on this. Otherwise great video, as always :) Edit: It`s also present at the same points, when listening on my smartphone and headphones in the youtube app. So it`s definitely the video and not my setup.
Before, I used my headphones to listen to every song for 17 seconds then switched to the next one. Now I listen to them till the end. Every genre, every record. Thank you Crin, this is so enjoyable
Thank you for your hard work Crin!!! It's been long-awaited! I'm unemployed now but I'm sure I'll buy the Dusk at some point, especially since the B2D is my daily driver.
I'm not sure I can afford it right now, but I'll do something stupid and order them, because I really loved Blessing 2: Dusk and I want to have a good hybrid alternative to Timeless (AE), or Timeless II when it comes out. Thanks for all the care and thought you and Moondrop put into this project. The shells indeed look extra schmecksy.
@@tomaszkarwik6357 yes, but at the same time it loses any advantage carbon fiber offer, particularly in tensile strength. All structural load is basically being handled by the resin and carbon is purely cosmetics
@kinfongyeung5400 This is not actually true. Forged carbon is used for structural components in high performance vehicles because it trades off carbon fibre's extreme linear tensile strength for omnidirectional loads. It's also better in compression and far superior in impact resistance. With a proper forged carbon part, you end up with a material approximately 1/3 the density of titanium for the same load.
I count myself lucky i only found out about this last month and actually got to try it. I essentially skipped the blue balling. This one is an insta buy boys
Thank you for the detail you provide on your video, you addressed my exact issues with the blessing 3 with out me saying anything. Can't wait to try the new B3 Dusk. Also thank you for not rushing this product out just to have it now.
Just got mine today (after 18 days from China to France) ! Switching between the DSP profiles with Equalizer APO to find the one..and i think i'm slowly falling for the diffuse tilted, cause no fatigue here + sound ofc. (Setup : Fiio KA3 amp/dac + Linsoul Tripowin Zonie 4.4 balanced cable). Thank you Sir (again) !
@@phetmoz How would one come to determine that? It has a unique FR, it's bound to sound different than any other set with whatever tweeter tech in it. There's no way to test that properly, unless you have two sets which are virtually identical in all regards (shape, frequency response, sensitivity and impedance) except for the tweeter drivers and have an ability to volume match. Micro-planars should (supposedly) have less odd order harmonic distortion, so there's that. It might be better in theory.
Oh, I see what happened here: Dusk is only (true) logical upgrade from my Truthear HEXA, purchased just a few months ago. So far, I don't see any better upgrade option.
One of the main problem for me about blessing/dusk iems, it's chunky as hell in my ears 😄 So i might be try it, but probably end up not buying it because of the fitting
DSP Cable, I called that! Amazing, please, next, somehow offer a fully custom option, I beg you. I want a Dusk that fits me just so. More than willing to pay extra.
I really love that face plate, it really looks like wood and I love the structure in it - I just wish it didn't say DUSK on it to keep it more subtle and to really enjoy the design
@crinacle hi, im reading your tier list since years, i have Sennheiser IE 800, but they died :(), do you have recommendation, which in-ear will sound like that :)? best regards
While I really want to get these, the nozzle not having a notch for the tips to grab onto REALLY scares me, ive been up to the doctors twice to extract tips from my ear canals, and while I dont doubt moondrop's craftmanshop, I can't get over the queasiness of the tips being held by friction alone
@@oldaudionerd they slip off the nozzle and get stuck deep, If I can't get them with my fingers what am I supposed to do? I dont feel comfortable with trying to do it myself with tweesers as they might get pushed in more
@@Srootus You should try removing them yourself with tweezers next time. Worst case you'll still have to go to the doctor, best case you'll learn and get used to doing it yourself. If you're reasonably careful there's very little chance for any kind of injury. Moondtop even have (had?) plastic (harder to scratch/cut yourself with) tweezers paired with a set of nozzle filters being sold separately or included in the accessories that come with some of their IEMs. But yeah, I wish they had lips on the nozzles, as well as proper nozzle filters instead of those feeble stickers.
I just got Blessing3, and at first I wanted to hate it, but I’m falling in love with it. I used to be such a staunch, stubborn bass lover. But the blessing three has reformed me into a love of clarity, airiness, and neutrality. … I’m wondering if this dusk will have as much clarity and detail as the blessing three??
I'll be honest I wasn't going to buy Dusk because I already have the B3. However with the new changes along with the DSP cable for a different tuning option It's a must buy. damn it crin this is bad for my bank account 😂
Hah, I guess this is what you were trying to demo for me in NYC at the Moondrop tables. I thought you were being mean and you probably thought the same of me, but we probably were both exhausted at the end of Saturday. All good, looking forward to hearing it!
There needs to be a way to power the DSP cable and still accept an mini jack input. Of course this means there needs to be a way for the app to adjust the DSP cable as well... or just offer a separate DSP amp for those that want to connect to some other source.
Lol what did you watch the video on how it's a different driver config. So they had to do new R&D, the forced faceplate, the redesigned crossover, the DSP cable... I'm surprised it doesn't cost more than $400
I received my Dusk couple of days ago and left it at the office. Today is the unboxing day:) I really enjoyed AFUL Performer 5 at the office but Dusk is on completely different level. Good job! Buy Dusk:)
I've got mine last week. First used the 3.5 cable for 2 hours (to save the best for last) and thought "fuck, this sounds CLEAN, the blessing 3 soul is here and became a mini saber". Then I used the DSP and the bass got on fire, even the middles felt different (in a good way), have no words to describe... I think you might be a wizard man I don't know... but it worths, after listening to dusk I decided to sell some iem's I have and used to love... before dusk arrive and crush them 😂😂😂 Don't die, please!
I'm definitely interested in the new Dusk and already have and love the Blessing 2 Dusk. My issue is with DSP and my iphone. I also have the Moondrop May but can't use DSP function as the Moondrop Link app does not work with ios. This is a deal breaker for me. Does anyone have a fix or know if Moondrop is going to release a working version of Moondrop Link for ios?
Haha. It took me a year before I finally decided to buy Moondrop Kato at a discounted price of 140 USD (third world country). I really do think it's expensive but if it's available in my country, I'll buy it next year (after saving of course).
@@Lost1ntheSauc3 I'll probably get this tbh. However, the lack of interchangeable plugs is an important downside imo because this is not an entry level product. This set is meant to be used with high-end gear and DAPs, which commonly have balanced outputs.
I wanted to ask about filters for other EQ gear/software, but you already explained that FreeDSP is not as straightforward to use as other stuff. Still, it'll be nice to have some "official" EQ profiles for people who don't want/can't use FreeDSP, or at least FreeDSP profiles for reference
I'm still enjoying my Salnotes Dioko and it gives the Timeless AE a run for it's money at 1/2 the cost....with some EQ tweaking to tame the high end and add (yes, yes I'm that guy) more bass. I use the AE for inside enjoyment and the Dioko for yard work.
I agree, it looks good. But forged carbon fiber, CNC'd if you will as well, arguably will play no role in the iem's strength and durability. Especially depending on how it's used. From what i see just screwed in at two points and possibly glued. It won't do much more than any other plastic plate. And I'd also doubt that the forged carbon fiber, since it was cnc'd costs too much. It's legit, just pressing carbon pieces in resin and then cnc'ing the needed plates. Unlike molding carbon fiber in a weird shape.
And given Carbon's not so good recycle-ability, wood or stained bamboo would probably have been a (imo) better choice despite them looking pretty good.

That's the April foos joke
We're stuck in purgatory until he next says it.
Well he told us to buy dusk instead, so i'm assuming that means we're stuck until we do.
Same here, I'm disappointed 😅
But jokes aside, that's a serious proposition from Crinacle, I'm really impressed
Crin casually made the sequel to everyone's favourite Counter Strike map, called it de_dusk2.

Hi Crinacle,

Here are some time stamps, where it`s really noticable:
1:31 (on "that")
1:43 (on "blessing")
2:05 (on the end of "crinacle")
5:27 (on "dusk" and then theres like two more directly afterwards)
7:03 (on "minor")
9:58 (on "yes")
there are a lot more, but these are some of the more obvious ones.
Could be just some wierd bug with youtube audio, but you may want to look in on this.
Otherwise great video, as always :)

I can confirm I can hear them as well, so yeah it definitely is the video.
good to know, that I`m not hallucinating things@@darionsolaris
yeah def noticed this~
This is how you know you have an audiophile community.
Me hearing the price: Wah nice.
Me as a Singaporean remembering that crin posts prices based on USD: Wah. But still nice
I never pre ordered something this fast in years looking forward to it !
Before, I used my headphones to listen to every song for 17 seconds then switched to the next one. Now I listen to them till the end. Every genre, every record. Thank you Crin, this is so enjoyable
The included usb-c cable sold me. I just need this to be life changing. I believe.

Be lucky to have 100 spare here in the UK, government is making it really tough
Lol so true...luckily I have £90 spare so will take me around 6 months to save up lol

All the nice features and you still find something to complain about
@@Lost1ntheSauc3 I'll probably get this tbh. However, the lack of interchangeable plugs is an important downside imo because this is not an entry level product. This set is meant to be used with high-end gear and DAPs, which commonly have balanced outputs.

Still cannot access the pre-order.
Been waiting so long for this too
Dang the graph is just spot on for my preferences. Too bad just spent the same price on another iem

crin seems like hes in way better shape than before, really impressive
Been waiting for this ever since I lost my LHS Dusk2... The AliExpress and Amazon links don't work.

Ok so... I was planning on buying a new bluetooth ANC headset. Looks like I'm gonna have to revise my choices.
Holyshit CNC forged carbon on an IEM? That's looks lit, it's basically like a Richard Mille in your ears.
wait so it's actually real?!? I thought this is an April fools joke XD
I'm still enjoying my Salnotes Dioko and it gives the Timeless AE a run for it's money at 1/2 the cost....with some EQ tweaking to tame the high end and add (yes, yes I'm that guy) more bass. I use the AE for inside enjoyment and the Dioko for yard work.
just preordered hope it ships when im back in sg mid april
I agree, it looks good.
But forged carbon fiber, CNC'd if you will as well, arguably will play no role in the iem's strength and durability. Especially depending on how it's used. From what i see just screwed in at two points and possibly glued. It won't do much more than any other plastic plate.
