Extra bass on top of the SSR does help it a little, but also results in a more hollow presentation.

Very tiny. Good for sleeping with at night, maybe not as a daily driver.

Moondrop SSP Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

D+
  • Tonality remains inconsistent, with uneven peaks and dips that disrupt musical flow. You'll constantly notice peaks or dips pulling focus.

Average Technical Grade

D+
  • Resolution is limited, masking finer nuances and narrowing the soundstage. Busy mixes still overwhelm it with ease.
Bass C+
Expect a balanced but ordinary low end that avoids both extremes. Slam remains moderate and controlled.
Mids C-
It delivers a workable midrange that could benefit from smoother transitions. Timbre isn't quite convincing yet.
Treble E+
Highs sound subdued and short on sparkle, hiding fine detail. Metallic instruments lose their bite.
Dynamics E+
It struggles to convey small volume changes, flattening energetic bursts. Micro-contrast is practically absent.
Soundstage C+
You start to perceive distinct rows of players even if the ceiling still feels low. Layering is present but still modest.
Details C+
Plenty of nuance surfaces, just not the last layer of shimmer. It balances clarity with an easygoing tone.
Imaging C+
A stable phantom center appears, lending vocals a consistent anchor. It maintains a coherent phantom center.
Gaming D+
Compromised imaging significantly impacts gameplay awareness. Directional cues often lack accuracy or consistency.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Details smear quickly, leaving the presentation cramped and low on definition. You'll notice smearing on even moderately layered songs.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.
