Today’s video is about two flagship IEMs from Moondrop, the Meteor, and the Illustrious. Both IEMs have very unique characteristics, but share some qualities as well.
Purchase Links (no affiliate!):
Moondrop Illustrious: shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-illustrious
Moondrop Meteor: shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-meteor-1dd-2ba-4planar-in-ear-headphone
I/O Audio Volare: shenzhenaudio.com/products/ioaudio-volare-1dd-4ba-4est-in-ear-headphone
The following is an optional referral code link. If you use it, it could save you $5 on your purchase, but it also provides me with $5 worth of points towards more purchases I make on Shenzhen Audio's website. This is a generic referral code program anyone can use. I'm only sharing for awareness to save you money on any purchase at Shenzhenaudio.com, but keep in mind I get referral credit as well: https://refrr.app/AkP4WNMH7L/41378
