21:33Moondrop KXXS earphones review
The reviewer finds the Moondrop KXXS to be a well-tuned, attractive flagship dynamic driver earphone with a refined V-shaped signature, excellent build quality, and a spacious soundstage. They praise its balanced bass, clear mids, and smart treble tuning, though they note the upper-mid emphasis may not suit sensitive listeners and the stock cable is basic. Overall, they consider it a strong performer in its price range.
