![]() ![]() Recordings sound coherent yet it is easy to distinguish each part. Soundstaging is not a strong point of the Starfield, they have more height than width, but due to their controlled nature layering is very good. Again this all adds to a completely fatigue free sound, with the transition from midrange to treble being devoid of sibilance. They are not metallic or sharp, instead they take a slightly reserved but refined approach to presenting the treble. There is enough bite for snares to snap, and good extension without rolling off too early. Treble: Slightly relaxed but well defined and smooth is how I would describe the top end of the Starfield. What does stand out is how real everything sounds, there is also plenty of detail to be heard if you listen out for it. That being said, they are a good all-rounder and work well with most genres. Electric guitars can sometimes sound a little soft, not quite having the bite of more neutral tuned IEM’s. The lower midrange has a little added warmth, but this doesn’t affect the overall tonality that is quite natural and real. ![]() ![]() ![]() Midrange: Well the midrange sits perfectly in the middle where it should be, with good layering of different parts of the recording. The lows don’t throw the overall balance of the Starfield, when called upon they dip deep and can handle most complex mixes without getting in the way. There is always a sense of warmth when listening to the Starfield, which adds a little body to the midrange and makes them very enjoyable and fatigue free. There is a slight sub-bass lift that adds a pleasant warmth, mid-bass doesn’t hit too hard but it is well presented and fairly controlled. Lows: The low end is slightly full and warm compared to a more reference tuning, but it is not out of place of overblown. The Starfield match the Harman Curve quite closely in measurements, so that might give you an idea of how they sound. They are a vented dynamic driver, so fair about the same as most other similar models. Isolation is good, not excellent, but more than suitable for daily use and general commuting. They are hold pretty well in my ears and don’t stick out much at all. Once the right tips are selected the Starfield are an excellent IEM comfort wise, with a perfect shape for my ears and a soft cable they don’t cause any irritation or hot spots. Something that was also included in mine was a pair of tweezers and 3 pairs of mesh wax guards, something that no doubt will be of use in the future. The paint job is superb and looks incredible in the right lighting, however it may chip in the long run.Īccessory wise you get a semi-hard clamshell case with Moondrop on it, along with a good selection of tips (6 pairs in total). There is good strain relief and they use a normal 0.78 2-pin connector so the cable is easy to replace. Simple, well presented and effective packaging here.īuild quality is excellent in my opinion, the housings are metal and feel solid, the cable is a little soft and thin but should hold up fine with some care. Slide this off and the blue box underneath slides open to reveal the IEM’s held in an insert with the case below. The Starfield come in a very nice looking blue box with an outer sleeve that has an exploded diagram of the IEM’s on the back.
