Moondrop Joker - Is This How a Monitor Headphone Should Sound? - Honest Audiophile Impressions
A BIG thank you to inToit Reviews for providing the Moondrop Joker for review, much appreciated.
Moondrop Labs markets the Joker as a monitoring headphone but does it meet the criteria for a monitoring headphone? What is the criteria for a monitoring headphone? How does the Joker compare to the Sennheiser HD280 Pro and Austrian Audio Hi-X60?

18:06 OUTRO
I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician.
Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings.
