"listening to the music, not listening to the headphone" - well said and best recommendation for any audio gear!

I have to say, I really appreciate when a reviewer describes the tuning without using nonsense words and phrases. This was a clear and helpful review. Well done.

it's nice seeing IEM videos once in a while, especially the most hyped IEM's in a while

Swapped to smallest silicon/red tube tips for my Tin T4... Tonality and imaging has legitimately never been better. I thought the medium silicon tips and the foam tips were the best, but boy was I mistaken. Thanks for the idea, my music is sounding fresh and exciting again!

So glad I checked out your review. I was using the largest size eartips on my Dusks and I had the exact same scenario. Harsh trebles and hollow mids. I've gone a size down for a deeper insersion and everything is now really really well balanced. Thanks again DMS, happy listening!

When listening to my music library on shuffle with these, when a new song starts I'm often thinking: "Yeah, I'm gonna skip this one." Until I find myself at the end of the tune just enjoying the music, thinking about the artists, cool production tricks etc. Very enjoyable, that's what these are to me. Kudos to Moondrop & Crin for making such an awesome product. Cheers!

Per your review, these are the perfect ones for me. Glad i asked for these and a hipdac for my birthday 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

I just got one today .sound phenomenal! sound like a over ear headphone

Hi. Enjoy your work. I sold my shure se846 to pick these up and I'm glad I did. You mentioning that they sound like headphones, I was listening to them the other day and thought to myself that they sound like my Elegias with more sub bass. Really please I made the switch

Bruh, when the time you said "there are some iems reviews coming out" i just shocked as the moment i see the audio64 on the table, hope they are u12t and if you can review on them and compare any other headphones and iems, it will be damn crazy

Hi, will we see ur review on SMSL SU-9? Good video as always, wish to see more chi-fi product

You nailed it! I will not even try to comment your other judgements (don't feel I will bring more value) but ... yes, these are really sounding like headphones! And stage is amazing but sound is very crisp. Fit, why all are speaking about fit!? Yes, these are protruding more than normal but the in-ear canal fit and the isolation is very very good. Love to hear your next iem reviews as you 'promised'. Think you may bring some different views in the 'community'.

Woahhh “speakers in your ears” changed my life forever.

Hi DMS great job on the review! However I think you used the wrong IEM picture on the thumbnail. You used the original blessing two instead of the blessing 2 dusk. But the one you reviewed in the video is the blessing 2 dusk, I ramp up the resolution to 1440p and I can see "dusk" written on the IEM.

OMG, I dont want to start a hype train, but you just got me hyped. wow and I hear there is a 3 blessing dusk coming soon. wow

The first 4 minutes of this video is literally about tips and a deep insertion depth... and I'm here for it.

Found you randomly while search for IEM's that act like the DT 990's, and I have to say...I really dig your channel! Great work man! Clear vocals, great transitions, great stuff man! Any suggestions? Is there anything close to the DT 990 Pro? I ordered the Tin 4's and the FiiO FH3 to compare.

What do you feel about the moondrop metal shells? The kanas pro, kxxs, and starfields with basically the same response

Interesting, if you'd prefer just a little bit less bass... sounds like you'd like the O.G. Blessing 2 more than the Dusk... which others are hinting at as well... I'm looking forward to getting them on the tour as well. Congrats on 50K, btw...

Speaking of IEMs that sound like headphones, I'd love your opinion on the Unique Melody MEST.

Got my blessing 2's yesterday and I'm gonna say despite the shortness of the cable and minor annoyance of taking them on and off, I'm maiming them compared to my hifimans

IEMs that sound like headphones? Now you have my undivided attention. Awesome stuff bro!

Defo one on my bucket list for the future!

Hey DMS. I've been trying to EQ my isine 20's for 3 damn years. A month after its' release I've been on a journey to EQ them to sound "right". Every 3 months I would go back to resetting my EQ configuration because my ears would become too accustomed to the sound signature and if I switch to something like my HD600's and listen to the iSines again, they'll sound wonky. However when you mentioned that there's a 9.3khz peak with the Blessing 2 Dusk that disappears with deeper insertion, I've added that treble peak to them and I'm actually much closer to finally getting my iSines to sound right. Thanks, lol.

Literally tempted to buy them because Crin worked on them.

2:29 DMS, you love Nanna 2.0 but can you share a bit more details on how they sound? Graph really close to my preference... but wondering about their technicalities?

Would you review the Ibasso am05 ? Same price range as those i am curius as how they compare.

Another great video! #MomApproved

Is the moondrop variation an upgrade? Just got my variation and is curious how they stacks up

Cambridge Audio Melomania 1+ sound and staging is very similar to decent set of cans... and they're bluetooth. App and EQ is awesome too.

Could you review the etymotic er4sr too whenever you can? Theyre around the same price as these blessing2's but argue even greater neutrality

I wonder if they would match up with something like the Sundara or 6xx ?

Are these or the IE 300's worth the upgrade from the Etymotic ER4SR/ER4XR?

Got it. I need a small tip for maximum insertion. Great review are these going to be a good pair for comfort or are the Sennheiser 300 better?

Finally some IEM reviews. Maybe at some point we will get some cheap IEM reviews as well? I'm loving my KZ ZS10 Pro IEMs. They sound really good, same quality as my Beyer DT990 Pro but different characteristics at 1/4 the price. I prefer IEMs over headphones because it feels like they're more detailed

I just like spotting the watches DMS is wearing

Mid-size tips are sibilant, but small tips don't seal. What should I try? Spring tips? CP155? Something else?

Is the side emblazoned with the logo “Blessing 2” the right ear or left?

WOW thats a pretty high phrase for the IE300, People are saying they're too bassy and aren't good or the typical V-Shape. I'm very interested in your thoughts/review of the IE300.

Hi , hice video , how do compare this dusk 2 with the lights harmonics stella ?

“That you can probably afford’ Bold claim XD

Why is the Menu Music from the game Ride 4 in the back ground?

I know rumors album very well 😅 and tusk, now I wonder if I should buy Blessings

I am on my 3rd set of IE300s and still want to send them back. They just seem rolled off to me. It is a shame, too, because they do everything else so well. I keep trying them because everybody keeps praising them, and I think I must be missing something. I returned the first set because I do not like the wire, and no aftermarket fits them well. The second set was for lack of clarity. They were on sale this time, so I figured I would try them again, and the same thing...treble is not good on them.

Excellent review DMS!! love how simply you explain these high-quality gears in your reviews!!

I switched to the blessing 2, non dusk, for all my music listening, replacing my over ear headphones, fidelio x1 and dt880 600ohm completely. Originally this was for comfort reasons, over ears with glasses are just annoying, but now i do prefer the sound. They are my first closed headphones for a long time and i did not expect to like it as much as i do, i'm just not that interested in a large soundstage/headstage, headphones are mostly bad, compared to speakers, anyway. Seperation and depth is more important to me and the blessing 2 deliver in that regard. In very good recordings you will have a decently wide soundstage/headstage as well. As i do listen to a super wide range of music, the neutral sound character of these is excellent. For certain genres i do apply a conservative low shelf of 3db at 100hz, which does add some more punch to the blessing 2 non dusk. This should bring them closer to the dusk in tuning. As for comfort: You might have to find a position where there are comfortable, but ones you find this, they dissappear. I, for one, do like the big nozzle, 6,5mm, as i have large ear canals and most large tips don't fit well enough. With the blessing 2 i can get away with the medium sized tips. My only criticism would be the cable. It has more microphonics than i would like and it feels cheap.

So which would you prefer the ie300 or these?

Is that an Amiga 500 in the background?

Great video

I would love Your opinion on Tanchjim Oxygen...😁✌️

2 years later they've sold out and I miss these.

have you tried the original blessing 2? I'm wondering what's the different bleesing 2 vs blessing 2 dusk

Glad to hear your evaluation - my pair is just about to arrive. I would like to know how you compare these to Etymotic ER2XR.

This one or should I go for sennheiser ie 200?

Great review!

So if I have sennheiser 660s I have no reason to buy those?

What would be the headphone equivalent of this IEM? Really love the sound. I'm looking to upgrade possibly 350-700$ range

What other equipment did you use for listening; music source, player, dac, amp? I.e. what’s good for an IEM?

i can hardly find versus comparisons between Blessing 2 and Blessing2 Dusk. Which is better? Super* Review preferred the original Blessing 2.

What is the sound paneling in the back of your room?

Do you think it compares to the Audeze iSine 10 & 20's? Those also sound very much like headphones, specially with the Cipher DSP corrections

Doesn't he sound like the guy on frost channel?

Sorry this maybe a stupid question but how would you compere it to a headphone? I mean it has the quality like the hd600 for example? Which headphone is similar sounding like the moondrop iem?

Hey @DMS, any chance you could review the HEDDphones? I recall you mentioning that the initial revision just didn't fit your head at all, but now that the latest ones have additional adjustments, any chance you could go in depth on them? It's not every day that a company attempts to use a very different driver tech on headphones.

Ordered these a few days ago, can't wait to listen to it!

If anyone needs to replace the tips, since they are too thin and the nozzle rubs your ears the wrong way, use the Spinfit silicon tips. Look for the Spinfit CP145. There's a slight space in between the tip so it doesn't fatigue you on long listening sessions. It's slighty harder to put on the first time, but the CP155 is too exact of the diameter of the nozzle.

Which ones did you end up buying?

Unfortunately I tried and purchased the Audeze ISINE 10, 20 and now LCDi4. It's hard to find an IEM that competes with those.

If you like these, wait till you try the Mangird Tea ! They're at the same price point as these, but I feel like they're just so much better Anyway, great video as always ! Love to see that you've been so active lately !

LZ A4 does the ”like a headphone” as well.. Love them..

Would love to see a review of the L’acoustics iem’s if you can get them in

Would you ever do a review on the Koss Kph30i?

and here i am looking for headphones that sound like good ba iems

For me they sadly just don't work. My ears are relatively small and I just can't get them in deep enough. Not with the original tips, not with small Spinfit 155, nothing works. And it's frustrating. I can hear how they are supposed to sound when I manually keep them pressed down with my fingers, but as soon as I let go of them again, they sound harsh and sibilant.

Can't wait for mine to arrive

Nice review. Please take a look at the Shure Aonic 50 wireless! They promise bluetooth studio quality

Damn maybe I should get these idk

Spent 10 minutes with this Blessing 2 today in my local audio store. I don't get the "sound like a headphone" comparison. These sound really good: good details, smooth and mellow, neutral sound signature, detailed bass, but they don't have the big sound at all haha.

I heard that the anime girl helps to hear the frequencies beyond the human average

for this pair of iem, the most thing is actually tips rolling, i actually spent over 50 pairs of filter to find the correct and comfortable tips,,,you REALLY need a deep seal for it to sound perfect.

I'd love to get these, but my ear canals are tiny and I struggle with getting the right fit for normal iems and earphones. They're also a bit too pricey for me at the moment.

Anybody here heard about the soundmagic earphones? they are not well known, ive got e80 and they sound pretty good imo

worm gets early bird ps. is the fearless s8f/p on your mind to review?

Compare it to the AKG K371? If you could

nice but too expensive, do you have a iem $150 max iem recommendation ?

Thoughts on SRH1540?

Where’s the IE300 video?

Got these last week and thought they were a bit harsh, I just tried these last night with triple flange ear tips pushed right into my brain and the frequency response totally changed and the harsh sibilance was gone 🙏🥳 The Mangird Teas were the only iem I've tried that never had sibilance when turned up but I lost one of them 😪

For real headphone experience in an IEM try the Campfire Trifecta…the soundstage is around your head NOT in your ears. An incredible experience.

crinkle best waifu

Does the king respond?

Easy to love the look of the IEM but the cable looks a bit shit 😀

when you hear the car start up at 8:15

So this is the "buy dusk" comes from

"They really need a deep insertion depth" micro-pause.. "in the ear".

You know who else needs a *deep insertion depth?* :>

"not the best thing on the planet, plenty of other things out there" , you say too much or you say too little can you please elaborate, what iem are you thinking about at this price point (or below) ?

hopefully we dont have another kz issue

$329 afford????
