  • It's been nearly 4 years since the original Starfield came out and launched Moondrop into mainstream consciousness. Now they're back with the Starfield 2, a sequel that improves on the original's technical performance, but takes a decidedly less mainstream tuning direction. Does it work? Let's talk about it.

    Thanks Mr. Ryan. The asterfield and the KBEAR Believe we’re my first two IEMs and I have to say, over the years, I reach for the KBEAR Believe more often. After trying the new Starfifield that is unlikely to change. The Believe is still the more relaxing IEM to me.

    Apparently, Moondrop did a good job on the second versions of their classics. I liked Starfield 2's aesthetic a lot too.
    Nice video as always.

    Really interested in this one because I really liked the original Starfield. The different tuning was unexpected but I'm still interested, and I'm probably gonna get this. Also, a bright tuning is kinda more fitting because stars haha

    Hey Ryan, I'm a huge ssr fan and I've been holding out on this till your opinion. My main grievance with the SSR is the subbass roll-off, do you think the bass is better implemented here?

    • @SuperReview
      @SuperReview  10 місяців тому +2

      I don't really have issues with the SSR bass, but Starfield 2 is a bit tighter and better defined.

    Hi! Sorry for the strange question and comparison but is it sounds better than Sony WH1000XM4 if we use them in the same condition? (Wired, with amplifier)

    • @SuperReview
      @SuperReview  10 місяців тому +1

      I haven't heard the XM4, but generally those headphones sound best over Bluetooth since they use active digital signal processing to improve the sound vs. the sound straight out of an external source.
      I expect I would prefer the sound of the Starifeld personally.

    After they released Stardust and Stellaris I was wondering if they would make a starfield successor that sounded more esoteric. Then i got my Starfield 2 in and they sure did.
    A big disappointment for me but considering they still have the Aria as there mass-market value IEM, I guess it makes sense to change starfield into something else. So I'm not supirsed and I understand the different tuning but I wish they changed the name as many people who loved Starfield may buy this and be very disappointed.

    Have you tested if cable material makes any difference ? Moondrop Starfield 2 has silverplated cable. If you change the cable to copper cable would you see it on graph and could you hear the difference. Silver cables are brighter sounding than copper cables but is the difference audible ?

    I have so many issues with this IEM compared to the Starfield OG which to be honest was perfect besides the shit cable and paint issues. The Starfield 2 has bad tuning, still not a great cable, lots of brass which actually discolours and attracts moisture, found this out from the Chu 2 which the eartips get wet in my ears and then look horrid. Also I hate the gimmick vent/plug design, another thing to keep track of and question if it's always fixed right otherwise you get a vastly different sound. Like having a constant eartip unseating issue that you can't feel.
    These are just a mess for me. OG was 9/10 for sure, these are a 3/10.

    Seems like a cross between two of my favourite Moondrop IEMs tonally, with decent technical performance and a cable that doesn't blow.
    Might be the first IEM in over a year that I'll actually buy. This or Galileo/DZ4.
