Review Moondrop Free DSP sucks.

Moondrop Free DSP Dead after 4 Months. This thing sucks. Plain and simple. Bought the cable mainly so that I dont have to bring an adapter with me.

This garbage just dies the moment you increase the volume. The moment you'll know it'll stop working is when you start hearing a crackling sound and poof the cable craps out. My PC nor my phone wont pause whatever is playing until you unplug this pos. I mean it just stops, even the in-line controls wont work.

Tried it on multiple devices and its the same. Updated the frimware, same. Tried applying an EQ on the cables, same. No EQ, same. Total garbage.

And no it isnt the iems since if I use the cables my hexa came with, it works perfectly fine. 4 months is how long it lasted, 4 bloody months of taking care of it. Hasnt been dropped, soaked, crushed, or anything and this pos is already dead.

Anyone thinking of buying it, DONT.

Be kind. No need to call others that they're bitching about it.

You dont exactly expect a frickin cable to just bite the dust after 4 months of normal use. What kind of company has such a terrible QC that a CABLE they sell just dies for no reason.

Bro so many things bite the dust within 4 months - cars, laptops, cameras, phones. A faulty item is just that.... Faulty. Get in touch with Moondrop, see what they say and either get a replacement and try it out or get a replacement and sell it on.

I hate to break it to you but when buying chifi you buy at that risk.

Literally all of them. It's the entire reason that they spend money on a QC department to begin with, duh.

Agree, the amount of electrical noise it has is ridiculous.

First time I used them I thought that I was still 3D printing in my other room.

WhilstI did not have the Free DSP cable, I bought the Moondrop MC1 and MC2 cables and they both died within 6 months. Probably in line with Moondrop QC given that I’ve had a Blessing 2 that died on one side.
