I know it's not an IEM, but it's from Moondrop. I own a Chu 2 which is my first IEM set and it made me appreciate bloat free bass in music and good resolution.
I've heard a lot about open back cans but good quality ones are very expensive.
Hence seeing this product from Moondrop (a brand I trust) made me pull the trigger immediately.
What do you guys think?
I think I finally get what the fuss is all about.
Riding this motorcycle in hilly terrain was like a revelation for me. It pulls like a diesel locomotive when climbing uphill roads and sounds angelic when doing so.
Gentle rev matched downshifts on downhill winding roads were an absolute treat for the ears as well.
I can't believe how refined this J series engine is! Not completely vibration-free, but just enough to make you feel connected to the machine without shaking your bones like the old UCE used to.
The comfort for the rider was excellent, not so much for the pillion on longer stretches, but that's true for most bikes in the world.The bike felt planted to the road, rock stable on the twisties, suspension and seating doing its job phenomenally well. Although I feel the Meteor 350 would be better in this regard.
We were two heavy guys on it and the bike didn't break a sweat. We even picked a third friend who had come downhill whose village we had to go for the trek (we had to because the route was not on the map). And the bike handled everything without as much as a fuss.
This bike knows its purpose and place, it's not trying to mimic anything that it's not. It reminded me why I loved riding in the first place.
It's got many flaws but I'm willing to overlook them because this thing never let me down once. It's not as refined or fast by 150cc commuter standards. It hates cold starts and the looks are well, polarizing.
There's something very old school and honest about this motorcycle. It's not a soulless appliance. It demands attention and it taught me many things about being a rider and for those reasons I love it.
