Moondrop SSP worth the hype ?

Attracted with the beryllium driver and its tuning and lots of hype in the review, I just wanted to check whether its all worth it.

Its really incredible. Even if its not impressed me with its sound signature, it anyways going to my collection because to it cuteness, well built and comfort.

Feels great even holding it in my hands :-)

I just paired with M0 and it quite impressed me without any EQ with mid-volume. I was told that it will be hard to drive than SSR, but it works good.

Its cute, built like a tank, small, nice cable, great packaging and everything is just so nice. Probably, it might take few more days continuous listening might help it to bring out its best.

But never mind, I love it as it is now. Thanks HPZ.

Pretty good.

I've been using it with my K20 Pro and I've must say, it's got a very vibrant sound. If you expect flat sounding IEMs, that's kinda on you.
Also I bought it mainly for the cute anime girl on the box, the weeaboo degen that I am (:

After a few months, the copper coloured screw on the top is showing signs of discolouration and possibly rust so that's got me a little concerned for build quality but no other complaints at all.

Thank you for your honest review & ratings, Meimathi Mayavan!

Warm&Smooth sound signature

Highs- Clean smooth (Non-fatiguing)
Mids - Little Forward and clean
Bass - Elevated sub bass
Soundstage - Not too wide, Just ok!
Overall an excellent IEM in it's price point !

You little beauty !

Firstly, let me tell you why it's 4 stars and not 5. 2 reasons from my side

1. the treble rolls off a tab bit quickly for my taste
2. The stock cable is flimsy and doesn't look durable, though it's nice looking and functional.

Apart from these, it's just a fun sounding little beast! The fit and comfort is excellent. It's so light that you won't realize that it's in your ears. It's very very tiny in size and you will only be able to appreciate it when you hold it! Pictures won't do justice.

So fit and comfort- 9/10 ( the included ear tips are so so)

Bass - Punchy and textured. I was actually surprised at the texture presented at this price point! It's not as technical as the big brother Aria but it does a fantastic job nonetheless.

So bass - 8/10 ( loses out on sub bass)

Mids - very clear and crisp vocals. Instrument separation is above average though not as good as it's twin, the ssr. SSR wins hands down in the mids though ssp is not very far. Sound stage is average but this was expected..go for the aria if you have the budget.

Mids - 8/10 ( loses out on sound stage)

Treble as I already said rolls off quite quickly to my liking. SSR seems to have a more brighter signature.

So treble- 7/10

Overall, ssp is a fun sounding Iem that won't disappoint you. You can throw most of the genres at it and it will handle quite well. Build quality of the iem is superb, comfort is excellent.

Ps: the nozzle is a bit long. So if you have a small ear canal it might be a bit pokey..so use the right tip.

These are good but needs some tweaks

I really liked the earphones. I generally listen on my phone but yeah the drawback i felt it it do need a portable dac usb . It's detailed in tunes but the lower frequencies i felt shallow sounding. Mixing up with other sounds , probably cause of lower sound production. I'll update the review after a month or so to give my final thoughts

Update : Needs a lot of power , totally not recommended for new audiophiles out there.

Hey Sandip, thanks for sharing your initial thoughts and honest feedback with everyone! :)

Replaceable Cables

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

Super Lightweight
Design

SSP is a pair of highly versatile IEMs – they can handle multiple genres of music while presenting an accurate and clean sound. They are now my default recommendation, even to non-audiophile friends who want a good pair of earphones. The Moondrop SSP are a slam dunk at the asking price. Highly recommend!

DESCRIPTION

Featuring a flexible yet highly rigid beryllium-plated polyurethane diaphragm, the Moondrop SSP (Super Spaceship Pulse), delivers high-resolution sound performance. This diaphragm with a high damping factor is paired with an ultra-lightweight CCAW low impedance coil and an N52 external magnet circuit.

While the overall sound signature of the Moondrop SSP remains neutral, the bass is slightly enhanced for a pleasant listening experience. This enhancement is done with respect to the Diffuse field Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) and does not affect the soundstage. Materials used to change the density of the 4 dampers of this headphone results in a natural yet energetic sound.

Featuring compact transducers and integrated internal structure, the Moondrop SSP sports a simple design. The IEMs are designed to offer a comfortable in-ear fit for security and optimum music listening. These in-ear monitors are carved out of single casted amorphous metal alloy for unrivalled sturdiness, high tensile strength and stability.

Precisely controlled frequency response is what helps the Moondrop SSP to deliver the sonic performance it does. IEMs often face the risk of vapour or earwax contaminating inner damping but not with the Moondrop SSP. With an all-new triple-layer anti-clogging filter, the Moondrop SSP is free of such clogging issues which result in volume imbalance.

SOUND

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.
