Great vocal centric signature & Imaging a bit safe bass and treble wise
Youtube Video Summary

Yanyin Moonlight sets up as a $649 tri-brid with a sub-bass-focused low end and notably shy mid-bass. Bass quality is smooth and competent with decent texture and dynamics, but quantity is modest and sits a touch in the background—definitely not a basshead tuning. The midrange is the star: extremely well-controlled bass-to-lower-mid separation yields a neutral, natural vocal region that feels forward yet relaxed, thanks to slightly tamer upper mids and a restrained, non-fatiguing treble that still extends with a hint of air.

On technical performance, Moonlight sits roughly alongside Thieaudio Oracle for overall resolution, trailing Moondrop Variations. Stage width is good with respectable depth, but the sense of height/air isn’t as open as Variations. Imaging centers vocals front-and-center with instruments orbiting around; it’s engaging and vocal-forward, though pinpoint separation isn’t as clean as the best in class.

Versus Oracle, Moonlight runs tamer up top with smoother, higher-quality treble, while Oracle delivers more bass quantity and a livelier, more versatile midrange presentation. Against Variations, the Moondrop set dominates sub-bass, treble extension, and air, making female vocals shimmer, but can thin out male vocals; Moonlight is the more well-rounded pick for both genders, favoring a relaxed, vocal-centric listen. In short: choose Moonlight for smooth, centered vocals and easy long sessions; pick Variations for sparkle and rumble, and Oracle for a balanced, lively all-rounder.
