Overview:
The Moritz Dragon IEM, powered by a single beryllium-plated dynamic driver, is Moritz’s exciting new offering. With a bold design and a robust bass-forward sound, this IEM brings an instant “wow” factor to the table, ideal for those who crave a dynamic, V-shaped signature that’s versatile across genres. This IEM was provided as a sample for review, with no conditions on my feedback.
Sound Profile:
The Dragon leans into a strong, engaging bass with notable upper mids, giving it a lively, impactful feel. While it’s not entirely neutral—treble can lean bright, and mids are somewhat recessed—it captures an energy that’s hard to ignore. This IEM is for bass lovers who also appreciate a solid presence in the upper mids, though some might find the treble a bit prominent.
• Bass: Big and impactful, with enough detail to satisfy bassheads. The bass doesn’t overwhelm but instead provides an epic low-end experience that makes the Dragon particularly enjoyable for bass-heavy genres.
• Mids: Slightly scooped, which can leave vocals and midrange elements feeling less prominent. It’s a classic V-shape that emphasizes fun over accuracy in this region.
• Treble: Upper treble has some bite, giving a sense of air and sparkle. The extension could be more refined, but it avoids harshness in most cases.
Design & Build:
The Dragon’s shell is striking, with a swirl design that reflects light beautifully. It fits comfortably in the ear and feels secure. The cable, while functional, is a bit thin and tangles easily but adds versatility with its three-termination options. The IEM’s unique theme is carried through the packaging, which includes a rugged Pelican-style case for added flair and protection.
Unboxing & Accessories:
The unboxing experience is enjoyable, with a premium presentation that includes a solid Pelican-style case and a decent selection of ear tips. While the accessories could be improved, they meet expectations for the price point.
Recommended EQ: I use Peace APO to EQ on the PC. This EQ is done to my preference. I recently set up a preference curve on My Squig. So for at least IEMs, I can use my own graphs now. Please feel free to use the measurements as you want. Jaytiss.squig.link
Overall this is an amazing IEM that could easily be a game for most. The goal for me with an IEM is to have an IEM that doesn’t need EQ. The Moon Rover doesn’t need EQ, but I could see people wanting some EQ with it.
I wouldn’t recommend just adding a bass shelf to it, I’d recommend doing a little more sophisticated eq like this. More bass is fun, but it needs to be done on a tactful manner or will sound poor.

Gifting/who is it for: I think this is a nice HiFi IEM to gift to someone, it’s just a nice package that is beautiful and unique. Everything about this IEM has a nice thematic feeling feels premium to unbox and is one of the better IEM unboxing experiences at around this pricepoint. I see this as an exceptional gift to a friend, but mainly for people who are looking for a beautiful, fun, unique set that is fun and dynamic with good build quality.
Final Impressions:
The Moritz Dragon is a fun, dynamic IEM with powerful bass and an engaging V-shaped signature that will appeal to bass lovers and fans of impactful sound. It’s well-built, visually unique, and pairs easily with most sources. While not for everyone—especially if midrange accuracy is critical—the Dragon offers a thoroughly enjoyable experience and makes a fantastic gift for someone looking for a lively, well-designed IEM.
Recommendation: Ideal for those seeking a bold sound signature in a stylish package. The Dragon is best suited to listeners who enjoy an energetic, bass-forward sound.
I'm also releasing a Youtube Video of this at the same time for those who are interested.
