But, giving Moondrop history records on tuning their IEM, Starfield follows their "traditional" house sound called Virtual Diffusion Sound Field (VDSF for short) which is the result of their interpretation of Diffuse Field than Harman. The Moondrop Starfield has a Harman tuning. My measurements are also raw and uncompensated, hence flat in graph is not flat in real life. Measurements are done on a steel coupler with dynamic microphone, while the result seem to be close to an IEC-711 coupler, there is noticeable roll off in the bass region and frequencies higher than 2kHz is also expected to have 2 - 3dB roll off. Sound: Moondrop Starfield frequency responses That being said, the Starfield seem to be one of the only few IEM in Moondrop's lineup that doesn't have a mascot but only a shadow on the box, as a weeb myself I cannot help but feeling a bit disapointed :'D Still, this is not really a big problem and the Starfield can be used outdoors. So, it is my advice to keep the IEM in the case when not in use.įit wise, the IEM managed to seal well and stays comfortably in my ear for a long period but isolation seems to be a little below average. During my time listening to the Starfield, there have been some reports of the paint chipping away. On the backplate, the left side has a star decoration which looks like a compass and the product name "Starfield" written on the right side. The Starfield features a metal diamond-like casing, which can be seen as almost identical to the KXXS, except that the Starfield has a blue paint coating (Which, depending on the light angle, can appear purple) and follows a "Space" theme. While this cable isn't one of my favorites, it looks durable and its color fits well with the "Starfield" theme. It also has a metal Y-splitter with the brand name on it. The stock cable has a L-shaped jack on one end and has good strain relief on each 2-pin jack. Other than that, you have a rounded case that is small but enough to fit the IEM into. The Starfield seems to provide more than enough necessities for the customer by including 2 sets of tips and replacement filters.
Product instruction paper and company information cards.6 pairs of silicon ear tips (2 sets, each set consists of S/M/L size).The Moondrop Starfield was kindly provided by Hifigo in exchange for my honest review of the product Build and Accessories: Moondrop Starfield packaging Let's see if the Starfield can meet that expectation.īefore going into the post, if you are new, please read this before having any comments regarding my writing or point of view. Upon its release, the Starfield seems to be a budget alternative for the KXXS, hence my expectation was somewhat high considering Moondrop's past product records. I have been following the development of the Moondrop Starfield for a while, from the days when Moondrop posted a picture which seemed to be a KXXS shell with some fancy coating to the product announcement. Personally, I have listened to the Moondrop KXXS and it has been one of my solid recommendations in the sub-200$ category to date. After their early reputation of making earbuds, their IEM line-up has also received a significant amount of positive feedback for their sound quality. If someone mentions an IEM brand that focuses on Japanese anime style artwork for marketing around this time, Moondrop would be the first to appear in my mind.
