Sorry, I didn't have time to listen to the COSMO with the VENUS pads (nor to the PARA pads too); in fact I didn't have time to listen to the COSMO at all (which is still sitting on its box); I just had time to take some photos at lunchtime (in France). I swear I'll have a first listen to the...

COSMO - VENUS - PARA on Viva 2A3 amp, what else ?

Hello everyone. I too have just received the COSMO, ordered from SHENZHENAUDIO (China) on April 12 and received today (in France) April 18. Price paid (by CB) $899.00; i.e. 840 €. The good news is that I didn't pay the 20% European VAT (168 € saved); perhaps the package was undervalued for its...

Hi, there. You are lucky enough to have two VENUS headphones at your disposal: how do you appreciate the COSMO sounds with the VENUS pads versus the VENUS and its stock pads (in immediate comparison). For : 1: the soundstage (which is more spacious: the VENUS or the COSMO equipped with the...

Have you thought about using the VENUS pads with the COSMO (instead of the COSMO stock pads you don't like)? If you think the COSMO is similar to the PARA in bass and midrange: PARA has less bass than the VENUS and also less low-medium, and is more mid-centric for the voices than the VENUS...

Hello everyone. The weight of the Moondrop COSMO is officially known: 556 g. https://www.head-fi.org/threads/advanced-flagship-planar-headphone-cosmo-shows-up.972441/#post-18074139 The weight of the Moondrop PARA is also 556 g. (513 g without cable). The weight of the Moondrop VENUS is 604 g...

Hi, there. For the FR, I'll leave it to you to decide whether the tone of the COSMO is more like that of the PARA than the VENUS, or whether it's something else entirely (to be discovered). MOONDROP VDSF Target Response is a target frequency response curve based on the HRTF (Head...

Hello everyone. What are the amplification needs of the VENUS and also the COSMO, with the same official sensitivity of 100 dB/Vrms (@1 KHz) and very similar impedance (15 Ohm for the COSMO versus 18 Ohm for the VENUS) ? Without going so far as to use a VIVA 2A3 tube amp, which I use daily...

Perhaps not, if we consider the effective sensitivity of the headphones, as measured by this RAA measurement site. Quote: " Yet the COSMO's sensitivity is officially 100 dB/Vrms - Impedance (flat) 15 Ohm, i.e. 82 dB/mW (@1 KHz), which isn't very much indeed. For comparison, the sensitivity of...

Hi, there. Yes, the PARA headband (and probably the COSMO headband, which looks a lot like it) is preferable to the VENUS headband, which I find less practical and a little less comfortable to wear than the excellent PARA headband, which is simple, effective and very comfortable to wear, with...

Hi. If the COSMO headband is sized like that of the PARA, no problem for big heads, because it is large; it may even be too long for small heads. Wearing the PARA is very comfortable, despite its weight. (Note: I have a big head myself).

I think that the VENUS and the COSMO are two complementary headphones (and with distinct tones) (note: see comparative FR curve of these two headphones in my previous post above). For amplification, I would have no other choice than to use my VIVA 2A3 tube amplifier (output power 2 x 3 Watt on...

Hi. An idea: try the COSMO with the stock balanced silver-plated copper litz wire cable (V-Line series) from the VENUS, you should have more sparkle in the highs with the COSMO if you find them a little dull compared to those of the VENUS (which are quite bright).

The tone of the COSMO is different from the VENUS as you can see in this comparative FR curve between these two headphones below. A question of taste, not to mention the different technicality. I advise you to give yourself a little time to unaccustomed you to the sound of the VENUS in order...

Hi. The technology used and the acoustic settings are even more elaborate with the COSMO than with the VENUS and PARA, hence its title as the brand's new flagship. This is the most advanced planar headphones from the Moondrop brand.

Hi The COSMO is available internationally, at least in France. I've just ordered one from shenzhenaudio.com. It's currently on its way to France. :)

Great ! :) I can see in your photos an ergonomic improvement in the COSMO versus the VENUS: the cable outlet (3.5 mm connector) is offset to the front of the headphones (like an Audeze): the cable won't touch the shoulders when wearing the headphones. EDIT: The COSMO pads are even more...

Thanks. :) After this spectacular "Break on Through" (The Doors) (Drum Cover), fantastic with Sina's drums. Here's another classic, "Born in the USA" (Bruce Springstten) (Drum Cover), which we tend to forget also features a drum kit, and what a drum kit it is! Indeed, the VENUS is quite...

Thank you for the link.:) You can find the English translation (for this Chinese text in images) here: https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-cosmo-100mm-full-size-flagship-planar-headphone As I wrote in the EDIT to my previous post, just after @acclimatise, I've just ordered (yesterday)...

Bad news for the Dollar (US) price of the COSMO planar headphones, the new flagship from the Moondrop brand: count on US$899 instead! However, the Chinese price of the COSMO (4999 RMB) suggested an international price of more like US$699, at the current exchange rate between the two currencies...

Hi. Waifu minimalism (on the outside of the COSMO packaging); maximum sound quality, on the inside? See also : https://www.bilibili.com/opus/919351755613929491?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0 https://www.bilibili.com/opus/919414161504468997?spm_id_from=333.999.0.0...

Wow! Great. :) We look forward to your feedback on the COSMO planar headphones, with the greatest attention. COSMO versus VENUS COSMO versus your best headphones Best amp to drive the COSMO Best cable to use with the COSMO. You won't be bored. :) EDIT: COSMO (last news) ...

Hi. On a YouTube video, I discovered the talented young percussionist Sina-drums, whose name is so apt, and whose rendering of the drums (cymbals, toms and bass drum) showcased the VENUS's dynamic capacity in the bass and the quality of its timbres, particularly on this memorable drum cover...

Hi. Very impressive: your description of the sound of your Thror with the ECL03 pads corresponds very exactly to what I hear with my Moondrop VENUS headphones and its bass (and bass dynamic) boosted by + 3 dB (between 30 and 70 Hz) by this artifice, using a very slightly breaking the seal of...
