MOONDROP VARIATIONS In-Ear Monitor

$829.99

The MOONDROP Variations is a hybrid in-ear monitor combining 1 dynamic driver, 2 balanced armatures, and 2 electrostatic drivers (1DD + 2BA + 2EST). With 15.2 Ω impedance, 118 dB sensitivity, frequency response from 9 Hz to 40 kHz, and replaceable plugs (3.5 / 2.5 / 4.4 mm), it offers versatility and precision for high-end audio.

Description

Step into a new level of sonic flexibility with the MOONDROP Variations 1DD + 2BA + 2EST in-ear monitor — engineered to deliver multi-dimensional sound via a sophisticated hybrid driver array and advanced acoustic design. Ideal for audiophiles and professionals who demand clarity, depth, and customizable tuning.

Key Features & Specifications

Hybrid driver architecture — Combines a 10 mm dynamic driver (with liquid crystal diaphragm composite copper cavity), 2 custom balanced armature drivers (Softears-D-Mid-B) for refined mids, and 2 high-power electrostatic drivers (Sonion) for treble extension.
Wide frequency range — 9 Hz to 40 kHz measured in free-field (IEC61094), with effective response 20 Hz to 20 kHz (–3 dB, IEC60318-4).
Electrical performance — 15.2 Ω impedance (± 15%) and sensitivity of 118 dB/Vrms at 1 kHz.
Distortion control — THD kept under 1 % at 1 kHz, helping maintain clarity even in complex passages.
Advanced acoustic design — Uses 3D-printed precise acoustic channels, damping materials, and a combination of low-pass, high-pass, and equalization circuits to achieve phase coherence and target response (VDSF tuning).
Cavity & materials — Resin + stainless steel shell with skin-friendly frosted texture, designed for comfortable fit and aesthetic appeal.
Replaceable plug & accessory system — Ships with a PCC coaxial single-crystal copper cable and interchangeable plugs (3.5 mm, 4.4 mm, 2.5 mm). Also includes filters (10), tweezers, silicone and foam tips, storage bag, QC certificate, user manual, anime postcard, and after-service cards.
Tonal & use qualities
• The combination of dynamic + BA + EST drivers gives it the richness of dynamics, the precision of armatures, and the extension and air of electrostatics.
• With replaceable plugs, it works with a broad range of sources — from portable players and DAC/amps to higher-end gear.
• Its tuning (via VDSF) aims for natural timbre, balanced soundstage, and coherent imaging.
