Moondrop Starfield II Review (2) – Another Time Around
The original Moondrop Starfield (my review here) was one of the best $100 IEMs I’ve heard—rich-sounding, smooth and immersive—and I was surprised at how much they changed the tuning for the Starfield II. As with the original, the II has a dialed-down bass and pronounced emphasis on the upper mids. but the II has a leaner, brighter tone with much more high-end detail and sparkle—it actually sounds more like a hybrid BA than a DD.
Technicalities (imaging, transient speed) are very good on the Starfield II even if electric guitars or saxes can sound a little edgy or sharp on some material, and most folks would find the II to be the more refined, better-resolving piece. I prefer the original, which is less analytical and has a more analogue tone but both are worthy. Moondrop’s forays into TWS have been hit-or-miss, but in the wired world they dominate this price point.
