Youtube Video Summary
Moondrop Rays is positioned as a gaming-oriented IEM built around a USB-C DSP cable and curated presets. The default profile sits awkwardly between FPS and Hi-Fi targets and neither flatters music nor competitive play. Value emerges when selecting the gaming presets or the community Hi-Fi curve via the web app, which offers quick, granular control.
The 10 mm sapphire-plated DD sounds a bit loose; too much bass quickly masks the 6 mm planar, dulling clarity, stage and positional cues, so less bass works better. With FPS presets, sub-bass is trimmed, mids get a nudge for footprint and body, and upper treble is lifted for alert audibility, improving imaging and perceived detail. As a pure music set it is only decent; as a plug-and-play gaming tool with tweakable DSP it makes more sense.
