Moondrop Shiro Yuki White Snow HiFi Dynamic Earbuds Line Type Earphones

So, given that this is "destitute level" audio gear at $10, you need to keep in mind the context of the performance vs the price tag. This costs less than going out for a hearty lunch. If you are expecting god-tier performance for $10, I dont know what to tell you, maybe I should break the news to you that the Easter Bunny doesn't exist. These are a pair of showerhead style IEMs with a non-replaceable 3.5mm cable. Their overall sound signature is warm. The Build: Surprisingly good Given that these are $10, they are built quite well. The cable is rubberized, but isnt cheap feeling, along with being relatively hefty in gauge. The housing of the headphones is decently well put together, even if it is somewhat cheap plastic. No obviously jagged edges to be found here. The package comes with a carrying case that is a screw-top tin (I dont know of any other $10 IEM that comes with an actual case). Inside the case, you will find a white cleaning cloth and 2 extra pairs of earbud covers. They went far and beyond what you normally expect from the price point. Comfort: Average They sit in your ears decently well enough, the earbud covers do help give the earpieces the ability to grip your ears so they dont easily fall out. There isnt a seal to talk about, as these are showerhead type IEMs. The IEMs, are extremely light, due to them being made of plastic, so they are not very fatiguing to wear. They arent overly large, and should fit most ears I feel. You can wear them for a decent amount of time before you might get uncomfortable. Sound: Good As noted before, this is a warm signature. The problem with the price-point, is that you can not expect good resolution. These are not good for analytical listening. The precision of sounds is moderately low, the soundstage is also somewhat small, its there, but its not large in any way. Its like looking at an image on an old laptop, its obviously not high-resolution. but its not as bad as something like watching TV in 480p. For the actual sound response, the sub-bass has a cliff from what I can tell, the very bottom of the sub-bass is just non-existent, Its not super noticeable though, except on songs that have a heavy emphasis on sub-bass. Mid and upper bass are pretty emphasized, so you do get good umph with most bass. The mids are a mixed bag, there seems to be some frequencies that are heavily recessed, so half of the vocals seem good, while the other half seem distant. The treble is decent, no obvious harshness, but no sparkle to give good definition. Overall, as a warm signature headphone, it does very well for the price. Compared to others: VE Monk Plus: really, the Monks were a disappointment when compared to the ShiroYuki (did I mention that its kind of weird that a Chinese company is giving their product a Japanese name?). The Monk overbloats the bass, where the ShiroYuki doesnt completely overkill things. I like to think of this as a better version of the Monk Plus. Overall, I would recommend this if you want to spend just $10 on a pair of earbuds, and are fine with them being warm sounding. Its hard to do well at this price point, and Moondrop continues to impress me with their ability to do so much with what they have on hand. If you can afford more, I would highly encourage you to spend more, $10 is not able to get you anything worth keeping long term and using daily. Edit: added some images. May be somewhat blurry due to bad lighting.

I purchased the ShiroYuki after having the Nameless. I wanted something cheaper, so I wouldn't feel bad ruining the Nameless. Packaging: The ShiroYuki comes in a small tin container. Included are the tied earphones, a cleaning cloth sort of cover, and two spare sets of foams. Lesser packaging compared to the Nameless which came in a whole box and such, but for the price, it's adequate. Sound: I'm not sure how to feel about the sound. When I first got it, it sounded smooth enough, but the signature felt too closed in, with slightly strange vocals. I kept swapping foams and using them for a while, and I think it helped the signature a bit. The tuning really depends on those back vents though. They sound more natural the less the vents are covered. It 'extends' low enough through harmonic distortion, but you aren't going to actually get very low with this. Initially, the bass seemed basically mushed into the music, and wasn't off doing it's own thing. Bass punches weren't easily distinguishable. There's more bass than the Nameless, but if you get a good fit with the Nameless, the bass is a lot nicer with the Nameless. I'm not sure how I feel about the mids. They seem a bit closed in, but pushed forward a little bit in some spots. The upper mids seem to be slightly emphasized or something, paired with a sort of congestion to the sound. They're usually decent, but sometimes the vocals can get a little rough. I'm not sure if it's just high harmonic distortion though especially in the lower mids, as that what I feel like it is. There's a slight bit of graininess to the sound. Treble seems recessed, but boosted in some spots. Overall, the sound signature is held back a bit, especially since it's covered by a bit of bloat in the mids/upper bass. Most things will seem comfortable, but some songs that hit the signature just right may have a bit of harshness. The sound signature just isn't as clean as the Nameless. The ShrioYuki is missing a bit of treble air compared to the Nameless, which can sound really good in that department if you get in right. If I had to describe the sound signature of the ShrioYuki, it would probably be some sort of almost 'lo-fi' neutral. It's just not a clear sound, grain and mud. It's almost as if there were a layer of noise on top of the sound. I don't think they really sound at all that great, the Nameless stomps them in neutrality. Compared to a lot of bad products on the market, they probably sound fine. The ShiroYuki sound a bit analog, it's just a lot of grain and muddyness. I think an in between of the ShiroYuki and Nameless would work better. The Nameless is slightly held back, while the ShiroYuki is pushed a bit too forward while still restrained. If you have poor hearing in the upper treble, the ShiroYuki are going to sound really bad to you most likely. Comfort: Fit is a lot easier to get with these compared to the Nameless, since they're a bit bigger shell. The foams did feel a little scratchy at first, but they seemed better after they were 'worn in.' Build Quality: It's plastic, so yeah, but can't expect too much at this price. The cable is actually fairly decent though it seems. I like it better than the cable on Nameless so far. The cable is wrapped with a sort of clear plastic, that gives it sort of a soft/slick rubbery feel. The Nameless cable had a slightly rough texture to it. The cable is probably done for though, if you get it to crack or split. Overall, they're fine for the price, but unlike other Moondrop products, they don't really push much above their price point.

At first listen they definitely have a timbre to them, a little bit of a tin-can effect. They benefit greatly from breaking in—leave them running on your computer with a track on repeat for a day. Sound is very detailed and lush, which makes them impressive for an earbud. They never lose their slight metallic timbre, which is somewhat irritating as the last thing you want for transparency is a resonance you can fixate on that won't go away. Despite that, their other qualities kinda make up for it. Super clear upper end and midrange, a slightly boomy but full low end. Pretty fun to listen to! Compared to: Yuin PK3 -- the Yuins are more balanced and transparent, adding nothing of their own, but they have slightly less sparkle and detail and therefore end up having less "wow." Compared to: FAEEL Snow Lotus -- the Snow Lotus are even more resonant and less flat, also pretty fun to listen to but not as accurate as these. Compared to: VE Monk -- the Monks are legendary and special, and for good reason. They're impressive, lush, and transparent all in one. They have their own presentation that's not exactly flat, but makes the music extremely engaging. The Shiro Yuki are the closest other earbuds I've heard to them, and they share many of those engaging qualities. They only get -1 point for that timbre of theirs. Overall, very good, and certainly worth trying out for the price.

For $13 I don't think it really gets any better than these. They make a great pair of references when comparing to other buds or iems. The one thing is that the tune isn't complete without the foam sleeves. Without the foam they don't seal in your ear and the bass is pretty much gone. When you smoosh them up into your ear the mids clear up, but you're never going to be holding the buds into your ear. That's one of the biggest flaws ive found and I think it just has to do with the fact that it's not the most ergonomic design which is fine for anything in this range. I do find that the sound stage is really narrow, it feels like you took a band and shrunk it down and put it right in front of your chest, but it still is able to let you hear a lot of instrument seperation. In the hifi/chifi field I really don't think it gets better than this for $13

Ngl I bought these as a joke and the sound quality is actually acceptable for the price the foam earpods are just no so I replaced them with rubber ones so they grip to my ears no bass all mids

The right ear bud speaker is crackling when bass is present. Less than 20 hours of use with very low volume. Edit: Right ear bud died with only about 30 hours of use. I never put loud/bass music. They sound great but they break fast.

At their price point they are really nice, you could actually spend more on other earbuds or iems and do worse than these earbuds.

I like a wide variety of music, and this includes a lot of classical music. These earbuds really represent classical music strongly. All the instruments have room to breathe and shine. Electronic music not so much. Sub bass is incredibly quite with these, and in some cases I couldn't hear to sub bass at all. Despite this, I still use these earbuds with more than just classical music, and I think they do fine for the most part. Overall I am very pleased with these earbuds and are a fine addition to any headphone enthusiast's collection.

I recently got into audiophile headphones and I was looking for a pair of good headphones for sleeping. These aren’t fantastic for the price, they are fantastic full stop. I usually had a cheap pair of Sonys and for a few dollars more I can have these beauties instead. I have a bikie beard so the snowflake design perfectly contrasts my appearance. While the AKG open back knockoffs have better soundstage, you can’t fit them in your pocket.
