Moondrop Starfield 2 IEMs
Expert Take
The Moondrop Starfield 2 is a visually stunning IEM with premium alloy construction and excellent accessories, but suffers from a fatiguing "shouty" tuning that prioritizes vocals over bass satisfaction and treble nuance. While build quality is strong and paint durability has been improved over the original, sound preferences will determine whether this $110 IEM succeeds or fails for individual buyers.
