Robin's Earphones

Transparency mode is whack but anything else is good, battery life can easily reach 6h+ in high volume

It's good but not wow me, tbh I only buy it cuz Robin

Not in this picture is my vintage Sansui SR-222 vinyl player hooked up to an affordable behringer phono preamp connected into tube amp and out to either my IEM or to my speaker. Also Fiio DM13 for my portable CDs need.

The robin was kinda interesting but the rest i agree with.

I am never buying another moondrop until they acknowledge their QC. Moondrop robin was a joke

Yeah, available on AE already... Driver config matters much less than actual result, but honestly this one... let's say is not exciting. Somehow moondrop managed to not release anything interesting for a long while, all the TWS in the same crappy case/shells, overpriced dongles, garbage showerheads, crazy expensive "jewelry" IEMs with nothing special in terms of sound... i hope they finally make something worth looking into at some point...

Yep, Robin is definitely nice and an exception. I wonder why they did not use that design for more of their TWS. I mean space travel was nice for the price, but that case design just is not good and the TWS themselves are not comfortable/convenient. I do not understand the decision to put more expensive stuff in the same shells and case... not to mention that none of those nearly $100 TWS were really an upgrade compared to original space travel. And they just did it again, a few weeks ago, with another let's say... much less tasteful collab than Robin is.

Interesting. I briefly considered meteor when it was released, as i was looking for IEMs in that price range. But the marketing was way, way too off-putting (audiophile rocks?) so i dropped the idea and ended up with DK3001BD instead, which i am happy with...
