Hi all. For your information, the Moondrop VENUS planar headphone is no longer produced. Note: product definitively discontinued according to Moondrop's French distributor: link ...

Hello everyone. If you're looking for a neutral headphone recognized by most experts and reviewers (like Crinacle), then the Sennheiser HD-600 (2020 or 2021) is a very good example of a reference headphone for the neutrality between 80 Hz and 10 KHz. Below 80 Hz, everyone will agree that the...

Hi. Silver being objectively lighter than gold, by a factor of 1.84, the moving mass of the diaphragm of the new Susvara covered with silver will be lower (by a factor of 1.3) than that of the original Susvara (covered gold). (Link ...

Yes, the Moondrop VENUS and the Moondrop COSMO, two planar headphones, before the new Susvara. More info about these planar headphones (and also the new Susvara and the original Susvara), here ...

No. It's on sale through one of Moondrop's leading international distributors shenzhenaudio.com, with two user reviews on this sales site. Link here: https://shenzhenaudio.com/products/moondrop-cosmo-100mm-full-size-flagship-planar-headphone It is also still present on the Moondrop website...

Hello everyone. I'll spare you the details of the calculations I just made, but I wanted to estimate the moving mass of the metallized diaphragm for the new Hifiman Susvara “unveiled” (mass of the plastic film of the diaphragm + mass of the silver traces covering the diaphragm of the new...

Hello everyone. CanJam Shanghai 2024 - D-Day 1. Moondrop representation (Stand C1-C4). The Moondrop PARA equipped with the COSMO's stock cable, in the foreground of this photo; the COSMO is in the background. Don't hesitate to ask to listen to the COSMO with the PARA's hybrid pads...

Hi. What if the new information came from the new Hifiman Susvara UNVEILED headphones, which have removed their external protective grille for an even more open sound? The loss of the external grille of the new Hifiman Susvara has not prevented the price of this new Susvara headphones from...

Peace in the music, as my childhood idol Bob Marley would say. Nothing to be upset about. :) From my point of view, it's a good thing that the COSMO, re-equipped with the right pads (unlike the stock pads, alas), is technically and tonally better than its two predecessors, the VENUS and the...

Hi, all. Who still listens to the legendary Bob Marley in 2024, more than 40 years after his death? And with which headphones: Moondrop VENUS or the brand-new COSMO? Well, I (you too ?) , with a clear preference for the Moondrop COSMO headphone re-equipped with the PARA's hybrid pads on this...

...for the lows, and the cymbals,for the highs. The sound is also simplified, a little "raw" (slight lack of finesse, in particular for the cymbals). (*) With the COSMO re-equipped with the PARA's hybrid pads, the sound is more complete, fine, and better balanced in the low, medium and high...

Hello everyone. Listening this afternoon (in France) to bass guitar and a set of cymbals with the VENUS, PARA and COSMO. To appreciate the headphone timbres of several cymbals, finely played, I came across this video of Mike Oldfield's famous Tubular Bells reinterpreted (completed) by the very...

Hi. No, I haven't tried it, but there's a good chance that the PARA's hybrid pads, and to a lesser extent the Moondrop EP-100A pads, will make the VENUS sound like a PARA headphone (with its hybrid pads by default), with, for many, too much treble perception. What's more, my perception of the...

...and fidelity of a pair of headphones ; the ear is often much finer than these FR curves for judging the tonal errors of a headphone; for example (*), the case of COSMO equipped with the Dekoni's Elite Hybrid HE pads, which sounded less good at reproducing the cello due to a small level bump...

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...
