    Moondrop VENUS Planar (and PARA): two surprisingly good orthodynamic headphones at a still reasonable price. Moondrop COSMO Planar: New Flagship.

    Hello everyone. Some, I hope, good advice to give to the Moondrop team, during its future presentation of the Moondrop COSMO, in Europe, at the High-End Munich, Germany (09, May - 12, May 2024): 1- bring a fairly powerful headphone amplifier (of at least 2 good Watt on 32 Ohm and 1 Watt...

    Moondrop VENUS Planar (and PARA): two surprisingly good orthodynamic headphones at a still reasonable price. Moondrop COSMO Planar: New Flagship.

    Hi. The VENUS (18 Ohm) sounds quite correctly on a Matrix M-Stage amp (delivering 400 mW on 60 Ohm) (which I also own); comparatively, the PARA (8 Ohm), with the same Matrix M-Stage amp, sounds a little thin (nb: the PARA is more demanding in amplification than the VENUS)...

    Hi. You will have to ask @acclimatise who has both a Susvara, a VENUS and a COSMO. @acclimatise found the Susvara more fine than the VENUS, but the latter was more dynamic than the Susvara. For my part, a few years ago, I already listened to a Susvara on a Viva 845 amp (the Viva 2A3 amp was...

    Hi. I bought my COSMO, the same day as the international headphone market opened (April 12), at Shenzhen Audio. Headphone received in France on April 18. https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-cosmo-100mm-full-size-flagship-planar-headphone I was lucky not to pay the 20% European tax (168...

    Hi. It's morning (early) in France. A morning image of the Moondrop COSMO equipped with the PARA's pads on a Viva Egoista 2A3 amp (in orange Lamborghini color) EDIT: the black cable delivered with the COSMO (symmetrical cable using pure copper) is very good; it is transparent (for sound)...

    Moondrop VENUS Planar (and PARA): two surprisingly good orthodynamic headphones at a still reasonable price. Moondrop COSMO Planar: New Flagship.

    Hi all. I've just listened again my COSMO equipped with PARA's pads this evening (in France). My previous impressions are well confirmed (again). This time I listened to Hans Zimmer's Live In Prague concert, including the two tracks below (at the bottom of the page). I compared the COSMO...

    Hello. My English is no better. With my VENUS, I don't have the same problem as you. I have very short hair and I have also voluntarily blocked the height of the suspension headband to the size of my big head, otherwise the headphone would tend to go up over the ears, by putting a cork wedge...

    Hi all. I've just listened again my COSMO equipped with PARA's pads this evening (in France). My first impressions are confirmed. The sound is very pure, clear, transparent, but not insipid; it's extremely fine, with a remarkable soundstage, both spacious (like that of the VENUS, or even a...

    Hello (or good evening) to everyone, depending on your country of origin (it's evening in France). Well, I've just listened to the COSMO with my audio system, and I'm going to agree with friend @acclimatise, the COSMO's stock earpads don't suit the COSMO at all: to be brief, with the COSMO's...

    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...
