Kero's review
I have had the Moondrop May for just over a month now, so I thought I would share my opinions on them.
To start off, the Moondrop May is a hybrid IEM, that consists of 1 Dynamic Driver and 1 Planar Driver. The May is a very versatile and very engaging IEM that offers a full-bodied sound but not feeling bloated like it has no stage. Along with a U-shaped sound with smooth treble and forward vocals, which is good for a wide range of music genres. The May's sound signature is defined by its agile bass and smooth transition between bass and midst, contributing to its engaging sound profile. While it may not excel in technical performance, its engaging sound signature and versatile nature make it a strong contender in its price range.
The May's competitive pricing and versatile sound signature make it a compelling option for audiophiles or the general market that are looking for an affordable yet great IEM. Each of the compared IEMs offers unique characteristics, from build quality to sound profiles, catering to different preferences and priorities. In comparison to the Truthear HEXA, the May offers a more engaging and fun-oriented sound, with slightly more impactful sub-bass and bass. The HEXA, on the other hand, provides a more neutral, precise, sterile, and clinical sound, with more extended, sterile, and detailed treble. While the May excels in musicality and engagement, the HEXA offers superior technical performance and resolution.
When compared to the Simgot EW200, the May provides a more relaxed, musical, and smoother sound, thanks to its emphasized sub-bass and bass. In contrast, the EW200 offers a faster and tighter bass, along with brighter and more detailed highs. The May's wider soundstage and the EW200's superior imaging are also notable differences between the two.
When put up next to the Blessing 3 it is a rough fight as the Blessing 3 without any surprise, crushes the May's in terms of technical performance. But the May does offer that more fun sound that the Blessing 3's can't really offer. So, if you have a Neutral, not very fun IEM, maybe pick up the May's for that fun sound and that you can use as a daily when going out.
The last thing I will talk about before ending this semi short review is the build and fit. The May's have a great build and fit. The 3D or Resin printed design has a slight see though finish too it. But more importantly it fits amazing in the ear, this may vary for obvious reasons. Although in my ear it does not move or seem to fall out when I use them for an extended period of time and remain comfortable. Now the cable seems to be the same as on the Aria 2 but with a USB-C DSP end. Which means this is a very nice cable as the Aria 2 is praised for its cable and to close it up, it has a very nice brown fake leather case with a very satisfying zip.
