I Just started getting in this world of iems. Watching your channel helped me alot, and I gotta say I'm in love with your channel. From format to how you express the information. Very nice made videos. Keep up the good work!

The Moondrop-Chu for me will always have a special place as it is with this IEM my audiophile journey began!

I think the chu is my favourite just due to the fact that it reflects on Moondrop as a company. They could have sold it for $60 easily and yet they kept it low.

For me, the Starfield has been my favorite Moondrop IEM, although I have to say the SSP was the one that got me into the hobby so it keeps a special place in my memory. I like the Aria, very similar to the Starfield with minor differences, but still prefer the Starfield.

Was literally just looking for a resource that goes over moondrop iems! Thanks so much

Man, I bought the Blessing 2 way back when you did the first review it's my daily driver till today, but now that I have more budget I was looking for a buyers guides and you definitely delivered a great one.

I’ve always been in love with the Blessing’s sound and the Starfield’s looks 😍😍😍

Damn how fast time flies. I remember getting convinced on how the Aria was the perfect IEM for me with your help and although I've gotten other IEMs that are double or even triple the price, I still come back to it every once in a while. Will probably always be my go to IEM for more years to come. Awesome list as always, dude. Keep it up!

Do they get better? I just purchased them not loving them. Do they need burn in?

I tried the Starfields and I loved the presentation and tuning. The Kato are a step up in imaging and detail, but I preferred the Starfields' sound.

The chu is my favorite Moondrop IEM so far. Thanks for your videos. They are very informative.

Loving the Moondrop Chu, so much value at such a low cost. Looking to upgrade to the Variations soon! 🙏

My favourite Moondrop would be the Variations for its amazing sub-bass and smooth mids and treble. I agree that sometimes the mid-bass presence can feel lacking, but my brain tends to get used to it pretty quick. If I'm the mood I'll just EQ it up or switch to a warmer set of iems (XBA-Z5 so reeally warm/dark haha). I tried the Dusk and while the bass was really impactful and fun, it has a spike at 6Khz which I'm sensitive too, same as on the original Blessing.

i love the way katos look- their angular design is really unique!

I love the Kato's look over the other Moondrop IEMs. The blue color looks 👌

Annnnnnnnnnnnd I'm subbed LOL. Great reviews. Litterally just bought the Aria Snow 5mins ago as first IEM for music and streaming without sweaty over ears. Now on to watching cables and earbuds. Great job man !!!!!

Man, I bought the arias way back when you did the first review it's my daily driver till today, but now that I have more budget I was looking for a buyers guidea and you definitely delivered

Yoooo!! Been wondering when you were going to do this!! Fantastic guide considering your extensive knowledge of Moondrop! My current favorite Moondrop IEM is the Blessing 2, I got it recently based on Crinacle's, Shuwa-T's, and your recommendation! Really enjoying the tuning and resolution!

The Chu has to be one of my favourite IEMs so far. I own the S12 and even then I still grab the Chu whenever I want to listen to female vocals, which is often since I listen to a lot of kpop and krnb. I'm saving up for the Moondrop Variations since it's being raved about often on Reddit and other forums including your channel. Love the vids, I hope you keep it coming, Timmy!

Love how the moondrop chu sounds so clear at such a low price, responds well to EQ as well

Got my Aria this past weekend and I’m loving it so far!

Great stuff Timmy! I love my Chu’s, but was lucky to try Kato and Starfield - such a Moondrop fan hard to pick my favourite!

I can only say out of the iems I own the starfield is my favorite one, I own the chu as well but the starfield was my first buy into the moondrop catalog and I’ve really liked them. Not only the sound but the design of them are great, really shows the star vibe on them.

Loving the looks of the blue Moondrop Kato! That's probably my favourite out of them!

My favorite is definitely the Dusk. Amazing midrange and balanced bass... But this new blue kato looks stunning!!

I was convinced to get the Arias by this channel earlier this year as a holiday gift to myself. I absolutely love them as my first venture into IEM’s, definitely fits my style and music taste perfectly. I always have loved a more fun and energetic sound, and that’s what they bring for a great price! I do want to venture into more of a balanced IEM in the future and something more detailed. I’d like to experience that side of both the IEM scene and my music as well. Amazing video as always, informative and easy to listen to!

I have just bought the Aria Snow Edition recently and I just in love with them if I’m being honest. They sound great with the music library i have.

The blessing 2 dusk edition fits my preferred sound signature the best. Very good mid-range and treble without killing the bass off.

The Moondrop SSP holds a special place in my heart as it is the IEM that brought me into this rabbit hole. However, Moondrop Aria would take the top for me as it offers better music.

Nice video! My favorite right now is the variations. I have the aria and the Kato too.

either kato or blessing 2, both are my favorite.... but still kato is the way to go for everyday carry!! just love the natural timbre of kato even though blessing 2 are more technical and better imaging.

I think the SSRs / SSPs should have been on this list, as they are also insane value for money and can compete with way higher price range IEMs. The sound signature they have is not for everyone, and they are not the easiest to drive but they are simply amazing! I often even prefer them over my Snow Arias.

I love my Moondrop Aria 2021 (dark). Bought them on 11.11 last year, delivered week after New year and I'm enjoying them since then. Bought aftermarket cable with mic for them also. Still all looks and functions like brand new.

Honestly, I love the Chu, for the fact that theymade something that good for us budget audio guys. And spring tips are up there with Final Type E's for me

My Moondrop journey started with the Elven Maiden Aria followed by the Blessing 2 Dusk, Chu and the Aria Snow. I love using them all but I have to say my favorite is the Blessing 2 Dusk, not because it is the most expensive, but in my opinion it is the best value for money. I am now saving up to add more IEMs to my Moondrop collection. Great video as always.

Kato is such a big upgrade from aria. From chu? You won't regret it

I’m quite new in IEMs, however, I have got the Chu and B2:Dusk and I love them both in their price brackets. Next to my DT1990, they sure deliver

Because of your videos, I got the blessing2s! I could not be more happy!

I have the Kato and I think they are fantastic. I can’t imagine diminishing returns not taking over quickly from there but non the less I have my eye on either the B2 Dusk or Variations.

I remember starting with the KZ EDX Pro, after that, as a birthday present, I bought the Aria and loved them. I recently wanted an upgrade, but didn't want to spend that much either, so from what you mention, the kato are the upgrade to the Aria. For now, I'm very happy with these two. I will give the KZs away or I don't know.

I like how the moondrop Chu has a very clean and minimal design, with a simple gold pattern on a black body on the rear.

Love the kato & kanas pro, the fitting very comfort and passive anc work too

im recently got chu for my first iem, and i absolutely love it

my favorite moondrop IEM right now is the Blessing 2. in love with the neutral signature

I just began to listen to Moondrop Chu last weekend and I was amazed by how clear the sounds were that I would really like to listen to other IEMs to understand how they are different from the Chu.

Just found out about them and this video has me so interested in making my first purchase!

Great video Timmy I hope to see this video skyrocket again 💪

Finally the content i really needed now, been having a hard time choosing a new Moondrop IEM upgrade from Sparks, i love the tuning of moondrop sparks compared to other brands so i wanted to try there other IEM, but having a hard time choosing due to price, specs, and looks 😅

I have to say my favorite is still the starfield and it's mainly because of the aesthetics. I love the starry design and the box art is gorgeous. Though, the blue KATO will most likely edge it out but i can't say since i don't own one yet.

I've been looking at the Arias for quite a while, but I think I'll wait and save up another penny or two for the star field ones, because they simply look better and fit my ears better. Fantastic vid

Great vid, keep it up! I bought the original aria awhile ago and among the 4 or 5 other similar price iems I have I like the aria the best, best iem purchase I've made, so far atleast...

Love your channel 🍎

I think the best Moondrop would probably be the Variations, it just seems really well balanced, but the Kato also looks fun!

Thx for the update of the guide Timmy

Just bought the Chu a couple weeks ago. Amazing for the price (just amazing)

I bought the aria, based on your recommendation, and it is now my favorite IEM

my favorite iem is the moondrop aria ! I got it by you recommendation and i'm really happy with it !

I love the dusk and it's versatility. I prefer it over the b2 because of the bass response

very impressed by the Chu, blown away by the Variations!

This channel is always great.

I love my Moondrop Bamboo that my dad bought it me. I'm a freshman HS student and the Choo is my daily. Greetings from Canada!

I've purchased Aria as a gift for my brother, he was blown away as it was his first iem. I bought the Chu for myself, I like the sound alot but the cables just don't stay over my ears, even with the ear hooks, that they came with. For me the Chu is just not comfortable. My favorite looking Moondrop is definitely that blue Kato 🤘

Kato was my favorite moondrop bcs of it's looks and my god the new color makes it pop even more.

My first Moondrop iem's are the Chu and i've been amazed of how good can a cheap iems sound like, so far my favorite pair when i want to listen music, id like to get my hands on something else from Moondrop!

its been 2 months of using the chu and ITS AMAZING, of course its sometime feels fatiguing but overall its one of the best buy for its price

good review! I well try it.

Love the Moondrop Aria, such a great IEM for the price 😍

Loving mine Moondrop Aria they are just perfect for my needs

Moondrop SSP I'm still using it . Although The paint has been worn out but the sound of SSP still superb. Thanks for this Moondrop Buying Guide I'm still Thinking upgrading for Aria or Starfields though

I love chu!. It's very cheap but sound neutral and best for budget for me. Nice Video

my favorite moondrop would be the SSR, it's my first iem and holds a special place in my heart and the tuning that got me to Moondrop. i have an Aria now ofc it is better but SSR still got it for me

For me, it’s either the Chu or the Aria. I love their looks, and their sound as well

Got an Aria and a Chu in my collection. Just love both of them. Have been enjoying Aria the most for music and games tho.

I loved CHU, I upgraded to Aria Snow and Blessing2 is in my wishlist.

Loving my Blessing 2 Dusks as my fave moondrop IEMs rn!

Right now I only have the Chu, newbie to this IEM hobby and looking forward to try the Kato if I won the giveaway 😁 Thank you Gizaudio & HifiGo 🙏

Moondrop Kato is easily my favorite right now, on my list to get one.

new to this. rockin the arias right now

The Variations follows the Harman target curve near enough perfectly which it’s why it sounds amazing. Nowt more complicated to it really.

My favorite gotta be the Aria, i love the way it looks plus it also affordable.

I've always been keen on the Moondrop Blessing, but the Moondrop Aria is just the bang for the bunk for me overall for IEMs

Thanks to you, I am able to set guidelines for buying Moondrop earphones Thank you.

Watching this while using my OG Blessing 2!

I got the Moondrop S8's! Absolutely gorgeous looking and gorgeous sounding. If you want technicalities, they are for you

YES!!! I was hoping for this video and u finally uploaded it. Thank you Timmy Edit: my fav moondrop is variations

as a new person into IEM i went and got the S8, my god i am in love lol.

Amazing video bro

I've just recently gotten the Chu's whilst looking for a replacement for my se215's which I had for a long time but have been meaning to replace because they just don't sound great.

Thanks for the vid, just bought the chu, now want to compare aria vs aria snow.

I understand it may be helpful for some, but I feel that you make more and more videos on the same topics, about the same IEMs again and again. One of the last ones (one week ago) about new IEMs from Fir Audio was a very nice breath of freshness

I like how the aria's sound but I like the aria snow editions design a lot more, plus i wont have to worry about the snow chipping paint like the original arias

Love the Chu I received last week!

I recently had the pleasure of trying a moondrop chu and to my inexperienced ears it is almost as good as my aria of I am listening casually. I might need to listen to it in more experimental conditions to know which is better. So far the Aria is my number 1 most favorite moondrop iem and my daily driver. Although it might change once i get to try the kato or blessing 2. However, chu is a great one as well for its price. Might buy one soon to try it out.

I'm very new to IEM and just bought the CHU waiting for the arrival. Pretty sure it will be the epic one 🔥

I only have the Aria and the Chu, but my favorite so far is the Aria, and I can't wait to get my hands on the Kato.

Beautiful new blue color !!! Would like to see a close comparison between Variations and S8 !?

Love my Arias the most, but also love always having a pair of Quarks in my backpack
