It mirrors the very essence of the Moondrop flagships (e.g. It sounds very natural and organic, and portrays instruments with a true-to-life tone. People tend to describe it as neutral, but I prefer to call it natural, because that is how it sounds. THE TALE OF THE QUARK: MIDSThe Moondrop Quarks tells a tale not about the bass, not about the treble, but about its mids. Thankfully, the sound complements its intended usage with its fluffy, snug, "hot cup of cocoa"-esque mids. They are so tiny that you will not feel a thing when pressing your ears against the pillow. The tiny lightweight build of these "quarks" seems like as if they are made specifically for sleeping, especially for side sleepers. To an extent, the physicalities of an IEM determines how you use it. Oddly enough, such a combination is really reminiscent of the skipping rope I used to have as a child, which was also grey and rubbery. First thing I notice is the smokey grey color and rubbery feel of the cable. In fact, I was ready to diss the Quarks so much that I preemptively wrote an entire negative review for it beforehand. PREFACEColor me impressed, because these were totally not the sound I was expecting! Based on the reviews, I had in mind a sound that was very dry and unalive, but thankfully this was not the case. Long story short, I'm not someone new to chi-fi, I've been in the scene for quite some time now and therefore might have a different view compared to someone who only got into chi-fi during late-2019 (aka the BLON era). Eventually I started investing in the pricier side of chi-fi first $50+, then $100+, and now $300+. I'd brag about the number of IEMs I've owned, but honestly I've had far too many to even count (at least more than 50). Huge shoutout to Igor from AudioBudget who helped jumpstart my interest in chi-fi. Even before then, I had been obsessed with budget earphones since my early teens. I have been invested in the chi-fi hobby since 2016 (when I was 17). Hey hey, I'm a 23 year old student who just finished uni with a Bachelor's in psychology. I'm a lazy person and tend to write this section off, but I'll include it this time.
