for me it is.If it's better than Truthear Zeros in the fit department then that's pretty epic. Truthear Zero has been my best fitting IEM so far.

Absolutely nothing and no, and no."Moon Drop"???
What does the box "Art" have to do with the headphones?
Does this imply, they are initially intended to be for children, or some tie in to anime in some way?
Truthear Zero still better fitting for me, also my best fitting IEM.If it's better than Truthear Zeros in the fit department then that's pretty epic. Truthear Zero has been my best fitting IEM so far.
YesI'm a bit lost in all those responses...
What's the FR when you unbox the product and plug the USB-C in your phone "as-is" ? (without using the Moondrop app)
Is it the same as the "passive" because the DAC doesn't EQ anything by default ?
Thanks !
Thanks Jimbo. I'm still wondering... how do you know ?
But when I look at the presets, I don't see the "Flat" one:Another surprise is that out of the box, a flat tuning is loaded on the DAC, NOT the Standard Tuning they advertise on the back of the box.
Flat = no EQ. That's why it's not in the graph which shows the EQ profiles.I see that Phenoez8 wrote:

That makes sense thank you!Flat = no EQ. That's why it's not in the graph which shows the EQ profiles.
I think you should try it yourself if you have questions on the fit?Since you have both, can you give a more in-depth comparison for the Zero Red? I like how they sound but the fit is a bit annoying.
Moondrop CEO Herbert Zheng is just really into anime, this I think is where this all startedWhat fascinates me is how come it is specific to boutique IEMs? We don't see this style associated with other product categories but we do with this one. How did that happen? It's just interesting.
Because males are not KAWAII...S’weird how their society accepts sexualised prepubescent looking anime figure/figurines as normal, why don’t they use male icons as anime on their boxes if the gender is not an issue?

Wow! Thanks @Blorg It's a real privilege to enjoy such well researched and sourced educational material. ASR FTW!Moondrop CEO Herbert Zheng is just really into anime, this I think is where this all started
Tanchjim I believe are good friends with Moondrop
Truthear was started by a Moondrop engineer
Some of the other brands possibly are on it because it has been so successful with Moondrop, but I think that's where it really started with IEMs specifically, Moondrop, and their CEO, and two of the other brands that are best known for doing it are also close to Moondrop.
This is the Moondrop CEO's office:

He goes over this here, he says he is trying to appeal to otakus. It's an interesting video, they give a view of the whole office/factory, testing, building, their development process does seem very measurement driven. It's all actually very small scale, or at least was then, I think Moondrop has expanded quite significantly in the last few years. Leiyin Audio (the channel this is on) is Moondrop's distributor and the parent company of Shenzhen Audio. But it is worth noting, this was I think originally filmed for the Chinese market and they do explicitly ask him in this, why all the anime stuff, so it's an indication that this is something Moondrop is particularly known for in China, it's not like everyone else does it.
The use of anime in marketing stuff, or as mascots, is certainly higher in general in Asia and Japan specifically. But going all-in as a company identity for global sales, that's Moondrop.

But with cute sound effects I'd laugh at a tiktok of him doing that to youI have no issues with cute, my hamster was cute......unless the little bitey fucker was hanging from my finger
:P
Are they really sexualised in Eastern cultures?S’weird how their society accepts sexualised prepubescent looking anime figure/figurines as normal, why don’t they use male icons as anime on their boxes if the gender is not an issue?, personally I find it really fucking creepy borderline pedeophilic in nature
