Hello everyone. I'm going to make a smooth musical transition here, moving from JS Bach's cello suites to Led Zeppelin, with a cover of the track Kashmir that's very interesting to listen to on headphones. My musical choices are as eclectic as my headphones. :beyersmile: The headphones I...

Well, the second chance given to the DEKONI Elite Hybrid HE pads used with the COSMO headphone was short-lived. Let me explain. I've only done one test this morinig (in France), listening to the Bach cello suites played by Yo-Yo Ma, a SONY recording which emphasizes the string sound of the...

Hello everyone. This weekend I'd like to give the DEKONI Elite Hybrid HE pads a second chance used with the COSMO. I have to start by break the habit to the tone brought by the PARA's Hyhrid pads used with the COSMO, which reinforce the highs mids and low highs (between 2 and 4.5 KHz)...

Good evening. This is what I've just done (which is underlined in bold in my quote above) by listening to the COSMO equipped with the PARA's hybrid pads this evening (in France), in comparison with the VENUS (stock pads) and also the Sennheiser HD-400 Pro. This amusing video is a great way...

Hello everyone. I'm going to be extreme. Even if Moondrop doesn't respond to our wish to see a second salutary pair of complementary pads added to the COSMO's offering, which would be the excellent PARA's hybrid default pads (because it's night and day with the COSMO's (bad) stock pads, in...

Hi all. A “triad” of Chinese headphones! :beyersmile: We have to admit that the quality of these three Moondrop planar headphones is top-notch. A few comments on this family photo of the three planar headphones: - the PARA is used here with its hybrid EP-100A upgrade pads (which are great...

Hello everyone. What I underlined in bold in my post quoted above is unfortunately not verified, for my old ears. Just goes to show that apparently beautiful RF curves are not always a guarantee of what you will hear with your own ears. I'm a little disappointed by these Dekoni's Elite Hybrid...

Dekoni's Elite hybrid HE pads arrived safely. Inspection: nothing to report. :) Assembly and testing on the COSMO from this evening (in France).

Imho, from what I've been able to hear, the VENUS (with its stock pads), with its slightly V-shaped sound signature, should do the trick; its bass dynamics are good, especially if you lightly unseal the pads on their front with the temples of a pair of glasses; its soundstage is wide; it's...

Indeed, the violin sounds a little “raw” with the VENUS ; a little more finesse and smoothness would be welcome, especially for your ears sensitive to high frequencies; my old ears are more forgiving; although with the PARA, the highs are “too much” and the violin sounds quite thin, and with the...

Hello everyone. I should normally receive Friday May 17th the Dekoni Elite EPZ-HIFIMAN-HYB (hybrid) pads for HiFiMan HE Series, for my COSMO, ordered in Europe here...

Hi there. For the FR (in spoiler below), it seems quite promising: slightly less bass than the VENUS's stock pads, but a more even midrange and treble. For the dimensions, if the Dekoni Elite hybrid Hifiman HE pads are suitable in dimensions for the COSMO, they will also suit the VENUS. Imho...

Hello everyone. Do you trust a FR measurement site? We'll see. Based on these measurements (in spoiler below) I have just ordered, for my COSMO, the Dekoni Audio EPZ-HIFIMAN-HYB (hybrid) pads for HiFiMan HE Series. Ref...

Indeed ! :) Separate power supply for my Audiomat Maestro Reference dac: 2 x 350 VA ultra low noise transformers. Note : Explanation of this strangeness: these are the remnants of an old high-end hi-fi system for loudspeakers. Old system (in spoiler) Since then, I've switched to...

Hello everyone. To wake you up a bit (it's evening in France), there's nothing like listening to a bit of Speed Metal (Painkiller from Judas Priest), with a scoop from Sina-drums (nb: the score was uploaded just 8 hours ago; and already more than 3K views...). To listen to the COSMO (equipped...

Hello everyone. Another headphone comparison this afternoon (in France), including the Sennheiser HD-560S. Listening to this excerpt from Hans Zimmer's Pirate of the Caribbean at a fortissimo passageway where it's hard to assemble more musical instruments for a rock concert (see photo below)...

Note: 65” Panasonic plasma screen still going strong with Hans Zimmer's rock and symphonic orchestra Live in Prague: comparison of four headphones: Moondrop COSMO, VENUS and PARA, on the one hand, and Sennheiser HD-560S, on the other, with my main Hifi system: Viva 2A3 tube amp and French...

Hello everyone. A little comparative listening this evening (in France) to The Lion King (Hans Zimmer's Concert Live in Prague) (YouTube video below) with the COSMO, still equipped with the PARA's hybrid pads, the VENUS and its stock pads and finally the PARA re-equipped with its EP-100A...

Hi. You can follow this link: ( https://sai.squig.link/?share=Harman_OE_2018_Linear_Target,Venus ), which is quite informative for the pad's rolling of headphones: click on the + surrounded by a circle, to the left of the Venus (red arrow), to see other pads tested with the VENUS than the stock...

Hello everyone. A quick word about the Moondrop EP-100A hybrid pads that can be found for less than $30 here and here : https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-ep-100a-openback-earpad https://hifigo.com/products/moondrop-ep-100a and are designed to upgrade the stock hybrid pads of the...

...mm) of the VENUS (and also of the COSMO) independently of the manufacturer's data, simply by knowing the resistivity of silver (which is 0.0159 Ohm*mm²/m), the measured length (in meter) of the VENUS and COSMO driver silver tracks and their width (in mm) (which can be measured with a...

Hello everyone. If, in the opinion of the majority (?) (*), the Sennheiser HD-600 (2021) is a headphone that, tonally speaking, borders on perfection (note: technically speaking, there are even better than this electrodynamic headphone, especially with the very good planar and e-stat...

Hi all. My honest opinion of the Moondrop COSMO, with several (useful) warnings, as I've just written on the French forum (you can use Google translator or better still DeepL Translator, for a faithful translation into your preferred language). Here...
