Plum flower design, Mey is plum in Chinese

I love my set of Mays. As a pair of IEMs that doesn't need a dongle that I can grab and toss in my pocket before heading to the grocery store or when I'm out, it's just fantastic.

[Arondight_unfadingLight]

It got a lot of noise floor when you use the preset EQ, I found out that they only disappear when you put the preq gain all to 0 manually

[Spintechfilms]

Wish they had an option to get just the May's without the DSP cable to cut the cost down as im only interested in the IEMs over the cable

[knestradalp]

I've seen some reviewers say that putting a 4.4 cable on them changes a lot and improves them quite a bit. Could you please put a 4.4 cable on them and tell me how much they would improve and what other IEMs they would be comparable to so I have a reference of how much they would improve?

The dsp iem market is heating up! Let’s go!!!

[BeyondFunction]

Sounds like a really excellent value proposition, especially if you like or are looking for a keep-it-simple-stupid approach to "does it all", and dont care if that means being in a walled garden. Super Reviews says he couldn't make DSP work using other music players, android-based or otherwise. So it seems there's some kind of handshaking going on whereby moondrop's cable somehow defeats or negates DSP unless it is coming from the moondrop app. Would be very cool if you could test this yourself and report back to us.


One can get around this easily enough by just using another cable, though? Hiby music app has both graphic and parameteic EQ built in, and is available for both android and iOS. I'm sure there are other parametric EQ apps out there for both platforms, as well

Should I add dac while using moondrop may?

[spamcan]

I guess it was only a matter of time before DSP came to iems. I bet Crin is going to have a project involving DSP, which I'm totally ok with. I don't get why some take issue with that. No one is forcing you to buy his stuff lol

[ravinopana]

Noob question. Can I use the dsp cable and use it on crinacle zero red? Planning to get both iem's soon alongside with a portable dac (if things will turn sideways.) 😂

Hey, I’m currently looking to grab my first IEM, and i have 150-200$ budget. Can someone recommend me what’s the best for the budget that i have? Thankyou

[lauxiarballs]

what would you pick, this one or the simgot ew200?

[filmiverse]

I wanted to know does it have a harmon target curve..i have 7 hz salnotes zero and i like the tonality a lot..will it be a good upgrade for me ?

[str]

Did you have issues with weird noises from the cable?

[ferifarhan]

Can someone help me choosing which is best for my preferences, i'm not considering myself an audiophile because i don't know much about sounds, so pls help:)))

I am considering buying my first $50+ IEM. I love details, instrument separation and wide sound stage and also vocals, bass is my least favourite. Which one you recommend between Moondrop May DSP or 7hz Sonus + DAC? i can get both at the same price

Thankss!

Is there a way to not use noice cancellation

[huyquang]

can i use it for my pc to both listen and call?

[leoranu]

I have ordered these iems yeaterday... and m afraid if it will work on my iphone 15 or not... on entire youtube no one talks about moondrop may connectivity with ios.. can anyone please clarify onto thia point

[krismqaz]

Love your reviews! The Simgot EW 200 one was super helpful and well put together, helped me decide to get it. Any chance you’re gonna review the Surfans F20, or maybe other budget DAPs with a tactile interface? Would love to see your take on it, especially since most of the videos on the Surfans F20 are two years old now
