I don't face this problem more than once, some people do say it's not happened to them as well. But I agree the app is shitty for most of people

Have had these for a few days now and they are exceptional value for money. I am currently listening to them on my main headphone rigs and Bob sounds sweet and punchy and getting me emotional. Praise HIM. There is a really good balance to my ears. Nothing shouts. Bass doesn't bleed. Nice stage. And that's without the DSP, amp and DAC cable which I also rate. It doesn't beat my portables but it is true hifi. I will certainly use it when weight is critical. The cable itself is silver plated OFC and the app is a mysterious thing. I have had it working more often than not. Restarts aplenty. the cable keeps the setting you program without the app running so not a real issue. 4 of the 5 presets are nice to play with. I am working my way through other IEMs on the cable. So much fun for so little money. Bingo

I want those pink buds. Goes well with the design language 😋 Thanks for the review.

Well I bought these after your review and they fucking rock. The app does load EQ profiles to the cable, so you could use it with other IEMs! And it works fine without the app, which I got to work on my Android phone with some struggling. I don't care about that, they sound great on their own, just as good as the Katos in my opinion and the nice cable is a huge bonus. The detail and imaging is crazy good, and the bass is satisfying as hell lol.

Well, after many many of your reviews helping me decide on the usual Hi-Fi brands, I’ve now just taken my first step into this new Chinese IEM hype…. These will be used alongside a set of Shure SE425 which I have always found absolutely sublime (for my ears). So at the very least I’ve got a nice case on the way 🤣 Thanks Z

Hey zeos which one do you rate more Aria 2 or May?

I have had s12 pros for about an year. Loved this but lately feel like trying something with a little less treble and more musical if that makes sense. I’m confused between kiwi ears melody and the moondrop may. Any suggestions??

I own S12 pro & I really love mine. What about May vs S12 pro generally?

The DSP cable is $30, but can be used on other IEMs. Moondrop has been on a dry run lately, but they also had a bunch of QC issues.

Yet another good Moondrop IEM!

Have the same problem with the moondrop link software with my Samsung phone. Works with my dawn pro plus dac though

I have a pair of Quarks and May (usb versions) and I love the sound out of the Mays as they are more rounded and refined but I just can't get with the way they fit in my ears. So bottom line is, if I'm relaxing at home I use the Mays but if I'm on the move the Quarks are easier to deal with so I use them more!

Guys, please help. I would like to buy the Moondrop Aria 2. Is the BASS and sound clarity in it good and is it worth the price? If we were to put a percentage difference between it and the MoonDrop CHU 2, how much difference would it give me in performance? Also, the difference in clarity of details between Moondrop Aria 2 and Dioko, is it a big difference or is it better?

Based on my own experience with the app, it is not always reliable and even when it works it is not good. The real question is, regardless of the app, is the May worth buying for your phone that only has a port for USB-C?

It's basically on par with the Katos. Subjectively, build quality is better on the Katos but this is way more comfortable due to the 3D printed shell which feels a lot like the Variation's.

In any case, consider the Free DSP is about $30, you're getting a set of great sounding IEMs for $35. Really can't beat that price with the sound quality it offers. If you're interested in owning a great new set while getting Free DSP then definitely May. Otherwise if you want just save some money then nothing wrong to get the Free DSP cable alone as well.

Moondrop Kato.

The app sucks and only works with android when it works at all. That being said it is still well worth it. If MOONDROP fixes the app it is a home run. Hopefully they will because rumor is the blessing 3 dawn will be a usbc dsp set as well.

them or rinkos?
