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...

Hello everyone. In search of the most technically and tonally advanced headphones, I went in search of recognized references in terms of technicality and tonality for headphones. To compare what is comparable (planar headphone in this case), I think the Hifiman Susvara is one of the most...

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...
