Moondrop Harmon VS Yanyin Canon Pro

Youtube Video Summary

Yanyin Canon Pro is a 1DD + 6BA hybrid around $400 with a light, well-sized shell that’s easy to fit and pleasantly vented. The kit impresses: a suede-like round case feels durable, the tip selection is reasonable, and the cable is a standout—supple, visually premium, and available in 3.5 / 4.4 (even 2.5 for holdouts). Comfort trends above average, and the dip switches exist but the favored setting is the “all up” configuration.

Tonally the Canon Pro skews neutral and safe: modest bass with slightly recessed lower mids, a clean midrange, and smooth treble that brings out micro-detail without harsh spikes. Sub-bass could dig deeper, yet dynamics never feel anemic; it’s more about balance than fireworks. The FR “hugs the target,” with a touch of upper air and extension that reads subtle rather than showy, yielding an all-day listen with natural imaging and very low fatigue.

Against peers, Canon Pro beats Canon 2 for detail and top-end finesse (Canon 2 offers more warmth and punch), and comes across more refined than Hype 4, whose upper air can feel exaggerated. Versus Moondrop x Crinacle Dusk, the Dusk DSP wins if DSP is on the table, but in pure analog the edge tilts to Canon Pro. Sets like AFUL Performer 7 trade blows (more bass/treble “spice” there), while Pilgrim can read too bright and Moondrop Meteor feels leaner down low. The takeaway: not a showboat, but a polished, versatile IEM with beautiful accessories, easy comfort, and tuning that’s EQ-friendly and broadly appealing—an easy recommendation for those who value clarity and poise over spectacle.
