Worth keeping Blessing 3 in you prioritize detail?
This guy gets nowhere near as much credit as he deserves for these high quality videos
true that bru
NEED GET BETTER ON THE MINIATURES
Your vids are getting better and better! Solid work.
Thanks man !
I hear everyone cheering that we finally get a nozzle size that fits
As someone with small ear canals this is the biggest factor in choosing IEMs. Yet it’s so rare to see people actually mention it in reviews 😭
"Oh you degenerates"
Me: Guilty 🙌
lol
The script, the production value and the damn review! All absolutely on point. PS: Maybe affiliate links for some of us in India too?
Like with headphonezone ?
this channel should have 100k subs
Amazing review! Super well explained! New subscriber from brazil! Congrats
Great review! Subscribed
Waiting for this for a long time. Love from India also 1st
Perfectly explained professor. Hat's off!
I started my RUclips journey watching you.
So happy to see the production level of your videos now.
By the way very good and detailed review.
Im still waiting for my unit to ship 🕜. (Crinacle SOON😅)
Another great review sir! I really appreciate your input. I never got the chance to try the blessing 2 dusk, so this product is intriguing to me ❤
Why are you calling him a sir? What's up with this servile attitude 😂😂
@@malithaw I know, old habits. My mother grew up in Atlanta in the 70s so i have an inherent need to refer to people as sir or ma'am... working on that lol
you do gods work my friend. Hope you keep it the great work🎉
Really well done video. Subscribed.
Nice review. One of the best audio gear reviewers on RUclips. I am curious if this channel is a hobby or your full time gig. Were you working in the sound industry professionally?
Just a hobby really :) youtube doesn't really pay much haha
Wholesome review. Very technical one . Namaste
How am I just seeing your videos? Great review...keep is up. New sub here!!!
Great video. Thanks
Very nice video. Subscribed. Also thanks for the EQ settings. On PC I use Equalizer APO with "PEACE" extension, so it was super easy to apply and save as a new preset. All I need now is my Dusk to arrive, which may be a bit of a wait. Something to look forward to, at least.
Agree very good review!!
Great review. Would love to hear your thoughts on the Tanchjim Origin.
2:31 thanks for mentioning this, because i'm very sensitive to veiled vocals (similar to how some people are treble sensitive)
It's a little disappointing that the MoonDrop Link app is limited due to iOS.
Gotta love Apple for their tight grip on everything 😅
It's available on Android, I just downloaded the apk
Or maybe the app is a bit bad and crawls for too many unrelated user data and you should ask more from Moondrop at the price these are sold...
Great review thanks. DSP Dusk could be the end game iem for some especially with the different options available in the app.thanks again 👌
Man I just like watching you talk, you kinda sounds like a humble version of my dsp professor fs.
Love the videos and your reviews. Keep up the great work, man!
Since you mentioned planers in the video, do you have any recommendations for in ear planars? I loved my Audeze iSine20 with the Cypher cable, but the left driver died. I hear there are much better planers now, but I’m not sure which would be best. Thanks in advance.
Zetian wu(and it's variants) comes to mind...
Hello.
Liked your video!
My question is simple for you..
I've mostly stayed away from Bluetooth earbuds because I don't prefer the hassle of EQing or fidgeting with different settings & going through a myriad of tweaks.
Great for those who can!
I've opted for wired iems because I like a no nonsense plug & play situation & hence, I spend weeks trying to figure out exactly what sort of tuning I want in an Iem.
So keeping that in mind and seeing the price of the Dusk, how do you reckon the Dusk competes without the likes of the Performer 8 / Hype 4 / Studio 4 purely in terms of technicalities?
Do I get my money's worth in that department?
Because price wise ,it is directly competing against those..
Would love to hear your opinion on this if you've tried those well regarded sets.
How would you compare them (with the analogue cable) to the blessing 2 dusk?
I want to buy them but all of the reviews I've seen say that they basically suck without the usb c cable.
nice to share tricks on how to with it. namaste from indonesia my bro
Super high quality video. I think including timestamps would make it even better. Well done though.
What cable would you go for with this for 3.5 since a few reviewers now have said the default cable isnt great?
It's interesting how subjective this hobby is at the end of the day, I am a pretty big metalhead and I EQ all my IEMs to sound more or less exactly like the default Dusk preset judging by the graphs, and I absolutely love how the bass region sounds, different strokes for different folks I suppose.
On another note, I might start looking towards the Quintet at this point considering how it supposedly is similarly resolving to the Dusk since I'm most likely going to run either one analogue with EQ.
I got the Hype 4 a month ago. Is it still worth it to get the new dusk?
What happens if you use dsp cable on the blessing 3???
How would this compare to the Variations?
whats the mic you’re using
Have you tried the performer 5. How would you compare that with KE quintet, since they are in the same price range.
Haven't had the opportunity yet.
Own the P5, tried the Quintet. Without the obvious bias, I'd still get the P5.
I find the Quintet harsh in the treble region and not as coherent. Your mileage may vary
The only IEM within the P5's price that I would recommend / consider over is the Binary x Gizaudio Chopin
Quintet is brighter, Performer 5 is just a little less spicy in the treble. Apart from that, they are virtually identical sonically, and it's a small difference. P5 is more of a pseudo-custom resin and fits me better than the Quintet, but both fit well. Both are benchmarks around $200 and good choices.
@vianhoho19 the quintet in the treble region os quite fit dependant unfortunately...get the fit right and it's gorgeous. (Covered in my review) Haven't tried the afuls yet though. Heard they're great...
Great video . New subscriber . I’m only now starting my IEM journey . This is too expensive . Here in uk 🇬🇧 I want to spend about £150 . What would you recommend for a starter IEM , that gives me clarity , good bass response , nothing to harsh on treble . Would run it with iPhone , and iPhone dongle/dac…. Any help would be great 👍🏻
So in that price range I'd look at the hidizs mp145 or tangzu zetian wu (normal or heyday edition) both planar in your budget with good resolution and bass.
@@imwhatsnew Thank you for the reply . Will certainly look into those 🤩
@@aaronwade2382 Trurthear Nova beats both of these.
this one is expensive do you have one or two more affordable iem that you prefer over this one (other than the quintet) ? thanks
I spoke about one towards the end of the video..comes highly recommended from me.
@@imwhatsnew no other iem rec ? because i had the quintet partly based on your praise of it , it had a lot of texture details but human voice was a bit too much on the nasaly/bright side so not the most natural (chopin had less texture but human voice sounded more natural)
Brother this or hexa?
Or just suggest me the best iem under 100$
The best review of this IEM. Fair without pushing for a purchase. Everyone else is sucking this thing off. The shilling is sickening and is ruining the hobby.
How does it compare to Hype 4?
thanks for not shilling
I think many people are wondering how it compares to the blessing 3 specifically, especially since even though its a brand new iem, it's kind of a spiritual successor to the blessing 2 dusk.
It surpasses the Blessing 3. Compare it with the Variations and the Dark Saber instead.
Have you tried DSP cable on another iem and what was the result?
You can get the cable & use your own EQ.
It should work fine on another IEM, it's the FreeDSP cable which Moondrop sell separately for $30.
How come your left and right graph is COMPLETELY different from others??
I was experimenting with different presentations...if you mean the black and white graph versus the rest.
Does it play loud enough? My concern here is the amplification.
With the dsp cable...oh yeah.
You can just tune ANYTHING!!!!!
Would I require a DAC/AMP even if I'm using DSP cable?
Nope. Dac and amp are built in, and it gets very loud.
Awesome ❤🙌🏻
Can you please suggest the best IEM I can buy in India for around 50$. Please tell me the price of this dish.
It's not a dish lol, it's an IEM. Around $350 USD. For Uber $50, Simgot EW200 is one of the best IEM's that can compete with much more expensive ones.
As someone who mainly listens to metal, did you find the any of the tunings were good for metal?
My custom tuning is what I liked the most.... the analogue tuning also was good
The dsp default tuning just sounded a bit cluttered in my opinion but I can see people liking it for the warmth
@@imwhatsnew thanks! If I end up getting these I will definitely check out your tuning
How does it compare to the MP145?
Dusk mughy be better imho for mid bass punch as well as technical ability...but I have to a/b test them to be able to say for sure
Paul Wasabi says that the simgot supermix 4 can be eq Ed a bit for dusk like audio.
Poorman's dusk?
I am an iPhone user and the lack of ios capability is a deal breaker for me. Hopefully in the future they will upgrade the app. Sticking with my B2 Dusk for now.
Do people completely ignore EQ like Wavelet and are happy with dsp cables that do the same thing but restrict you to that on dac/amp? It's just a question. I'm out of the 'audiophile' world since it's bullshit.
For 15-25$ suggest the best iem with best vocal and bass
Wanner
@@fuzail3379 kz castor bass surpasses it?
@@aaronvarghese6955 yes but only if you are basshead.
Video quality 🤌🤌
Wouldn't be surprised if u were 132k (not a member so opinion rejected)
can’t wait to get my financially irresponsible hands on this
Not working on iOS is a HUGE dealbreaker. Not just for me. Cutting out a much larger number of potential users than a larger nozzle would.
13:29
When they keep fall in the same hole
😢 (4.4 mm adapter like dark saber much worth)
They never learn
No one using that right now
In plane people tend chose wireless
Thing with all noice canceling stuff not wired IEM
Cover art on box is waifu crin
Don't ask me how I know it
I'm actually too afraid to ask...
@@imwhatsnew ey yo, do I get to be a part in the giveaways if International? (I am from India)
I'd like to splurge but a mans gotta see the greed and gains too yknow 😩 and also which tier gets me into the giveaway on top of it
(Also I am a slight OG at this point so I hope I get loyalty points bonus during giveaways 👉🏻👈🏻)
@OhNooJosephJoestar yeah man all members are a part of it be default.any tier is fine... not gonna say no to a higher tier obviously :)
I would think about buying it if it was half the price.
No, only until the Dusk 3 is coming out.
The main problem with moondrop with dsp is the app it's sketchy you have to sideload it, a security red flag not only moondrop tanchjim too.
You don't have to use the app
Just use wavelet to EQ and let the DSP cable act as a DAC
@@ThanFlan Yes that's one way but you don't pay 360$ for work arounds.
Kefine delci when?
They said they'd send me one
Sounds like a skip, unfortunately
Why
🫦🫦🫦
Quintet is the real market disruptor of the two…
Does the face plate look sexy for a $300 item? IMHO, no.
Look at views now , these suck and the hexa is worse, they need to stop doing colabs with people who think they are professionals of Iems !
How did the dsp bass go from 70 spl, to 90 spl????????? Way to go. You just showed all your gen zer viewers yall have a horrible editor. Just do the graphs yourself me son.
To be fair, relative spl is what really matters when there is no implementation of equal loudness curves. Having said that, I'm not sure what you're referring to..the 3khz normalized measurements ?
@@imwhatsnew you show one graph were the bass tops at 70spl, then show 2 more where its at 90spl for the same tuning. Get a new editor me son.
Oh that's just using my own measurements for some and pulling from crinacles database from the other...again, to read them relative spl is crucial to the understanding. What you're describing is nice presentation for sure but not relevant to the reading of the graph. Nonetheless next time I'll normalize to to the same spl level and display it.
If the app is not on playstore, it is a red flag for me.
Once AGAIN IT IS JUST A USB!!! THE DAC IS IN YOUR PHONE,COMPUTER, WHATEVER YOU ARE PLUGGING IT INTO!!!!!!!!
You've had 3 days to think about what you're saying. Changed your mind yet?
Dsp. Lol
What a joke. I prefer an eq. What's the point to play this in a phone with a crap dap chipset. Only with a dongle. Still prefer a dap instead with a good eq like a sony dap.
Nope. NOTHING is stored on the usb cable because it is IMPOSSIBLE to store things on a USB cable. Once AGAIN the sound changes because of the DAC that you are plugging the usb cable into.
The dac has on board memory. The cable and dac may be considered to be one component by virtue of not being separable by design. Hence, the semantic liberty.
@@imwhatsnew there is no dac in the cable!!! A dac is a digital audio converter. A usb cable CANNOT do that. What you plug it into does that. You KNOW this. Why lie?
@TerryBollea1 This particular usb cable has a dac inbuilt and a memory module. Yes, the phone has a dac..not all phones support audio output over USB...my phone certainly doesn't... you need an external dac for a wired connection. The internal dac(in my phone's case) is used for the phone speakers alone.
@@imwhatsnew what does inbuilt mean? Also no it doesn't. Usb cables dont have memory. Ya gonna keep marking out to me?? I figured you were smarter then that.
@@TerryBollea1 It's not just cable. It is a dsp that can store tune settings. Look it up on the internet. It's simply just a dac
You buy this overrated expensive crap urself 😂😂😂😂
Wow!!!! After seeing other RUclipsrs just talk and describe these IEMs with onomatopoeias (which I do understand what they mean), you explained it with clarity and straight to the point!!!!! With out the theatrics. You have earned my sub!!!!! Awesome, you should review Questyles NHB15, 1 driver but the cable has a built in DAC and is usbC. Would love to see your review. That way I can see and qualify my own hearing! 🫰🏻 You and Dave the H.A.F are ✊🏻
sucks for iphone user like me 🥲
Setup on laptop and use on iPhone
Hype 4 clears🥱
