![]() ![]() Being metal, they are heavy for their size, but are a joy to handle, and wins durability points.īut here the star (sic) of the show is the “special painting tech” which coats the Starfield in a glittery navy blue/purple gradient. The angular faceplate exclusive to itself and KXXS, like brothers from a different mother. As a refresher, the shells are made of zinc/aluminum alloy, with a crease down the middle separating two halves. The Starfield is essentially the KXXS with a coat of woohoo paint. I like the paint job, and at this price I shouldn’t complain, but I’d definitely like to see a thicker, higher quality stock cable. The midnight blue cable looks like a variant of the generic Plastics One cable, with a handsome splitter of the Moondrop logo the only notable difference. Equipment Used: #ĭriver: 10mm dual cavity Carbon Nanotube (CNT) diaphragm Sensitivity: 122dB/Vrms Impedance: 32Ω☑5% Frequency Response: 10Hz – 36kHz Effective frequency response: 20Hz – 20kHz (IEC60318-4) Connector: 2-pin 0.78mm Cable Length: 1.2m Cable Material: 24AWG Litz 4N Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) Packaging and Accessories # Powered by a single carbon nanotube (CNT) driver (ok just a variation of the dynamic driver), the Starfield (rhymes with Garfield) is marketed as the musical, easy-listening complement to the incisive, reference-tuned KXXS. Today we look at their entry-level model, the Starfield. ![]() I’ve never heard a badly-tuned Moondrop yet. And here’s the thing, they are remarkably consistent in what they do. ![]() They take a can’t-fail, research-based tuning recipe, apply a few tweaks, scour the earth for drivers that do the best job for the price, before unleashing a full range of IEMs from entry-level to flagship. Their IEM tuning is famously based on the Harman Target Response Curve. I’m sure there are others, but these three brands release new stuff at such a breakneck pace, it’s as if their lives depended on it. “Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, never let it fade away.” You’ve heard of a star fall, but how about a moon drop?
