Moondrop Starfield 2 IEMs
Audio/IEMs
“The Moondrop Starfield 2 delivers Moondrop's signature bright house tuning through a 10mm lithium-magnesium alloy dynamic driver and 122dB/Vrms sensitivity, making it an excellent technical performer for budget IEMs under $130. The expansive soundstage, articulate treble, and natural midrange timbre are standout features, though the upper midrange can sound shouty and the $129.99 price point faces stiff competition from warmer alternatives.”
