That's one that I have not seen around. Thank you for the review!

I hope yours doesn't break at the 2pin connector like many people's units

I understand the Dark Saber is a slight alteration to the Variations (though some seem to think the Dark Saber is worse). The Variations have a similar curve to the Kato, which is in your price range. I have both, and the Variations is obviously a vast improvement in clarity, soundstage, detail, etc. But the Kato is no slouch, at less than half the price of the Variations.

I boost subbass (below 40 HZ) and mids (400 hz) a bit on both. I am a massive subbass fanatic, so I always have to boost subbass on all playback equipment. I even boost it on my SVS SB16 sub. 😂

I was hoping for a variations 2, now deciding between variations or this. But i heard quality controll is not great. Is it worth the increase in price?

[cyberroller]

in your opinion, what is a good frequency response in iems for studio production and monitoring... a very truthfull and correct sounding found profile?

I currently have classic hi-fi headphones. I'm planning to buy another one. And I'm thinking about IEM, for listening at home. What do you recommend another classic hi-fi headphones or should I try IEM headphones?

How's the plastic around the 2-pin female connector on the earpiece? Does it feel soft/brittle when trying to connect or remove a cable?

I hesitated to get one right after someone posted a review that theirs broke near the female 2-pin connector of the earpiece ><.

[nazreenshah]

Which eartips do you recommend for the dark saber?

[dangerzone]

Is there anything around $200 that's almost as good?

Dark Sabre isn't moondrops flagship, that would be SOLIS II

Pozdrav, odlične recenzije, da li znadeš možda kolika je razlika između KZ ZS 10 pro i moondrops saber ako si imao priliku slušati obadvoje, frekvencijski raspon je isti 7-40khz, osjetljivost je nešto veća kod Moondropsa 128 a kod KZ111 a cijena je pet puta skuplja Moondropsa.
