After my Seeaudio Neos catastrophically failed, I dug out my old Moondrop S8 from my drawer, that I've set aside 5 years ago after I got my Neos, to use as my replacement.

After a night, I remembered why I fell in love with the S8. Crystal clear vocals (especially for female singers), highs that aren't piercing and a low end that feels snappy. My only gripes being that I do miss how much deeper the bass goes on my Neos, and there being a bit of thinness in male vocals.

Will I look for a replacement for my Neos? Who knows. Like meeting an old friend you haven't seen in a while but it's like they've never left your side, for now, I'm content again with the S8.

Was taking off the eartips when the metal nozzle just popped right out, taking the acoustic tubes with them.

I'm both sad and kinda amused that this happened. Either the glue and/or the resin around the metal nozzle degraded/failed.

Thankfully I still have ~~an equally old~~ Moondrop S8 on hand as a back-up pair.

Demo-ed the Bathys MG previously and really liked how guitars and strings sounded. So decided to demo what I thought would be just its wired cousin and was pleasently surprised at how much clearer it was, at an ever so slightly lower price. Since I didn't really need a BT+ANC at the moment (using a relatively affordable but surprisingly good Creative Zen Hybrid SXFI currently), I got the Clear MGs.

Absolutely love using them to listen to country music. They really do make guitars sound amazing.
