Loki, the god of fire, has extraordinary strength due to his noble birth, and his mischievous character makes him a challenger to order, indirectly leading to the creation of “Ragnarok.”
Kinera’s designer uses fiery red lava to symbolize Loki, possessing the power of fire. The blue color symbolizes the surface of the earth. When Loki engages in mischief, accompanied by a volcanic eruption, the earth’s crust cracks, and the hot magma flows and churns along the surface, shocking the energy of Asgard and heralding the arrival of a new era of world renewal.
Tuning Philosophy
A flagship quadbrid driver In-Ear Monitors with outstanding detail performance that combines the characteristics of multiple acoustic drivers. It has good elasticity and clear, deep bass. The mid-range (vocals) has a strong sense of density and distinct layers and the high-end is transparent, delicate, and well-extended, with delicate and rich overtones thanks to the electrostatic unit. The ultra-wide frequency response brings an expansive, transparent soundstage space.
1DD for Bass and Sub-bass: One 6mm dynamic driver is responsible for the low-frequency range. Kinera’s custom-made 6mm liquid diaphragm dynamic driver has excellent acoustic performance. Combined with a reasonable acoustic structure design, it can deliver a very relaxed, natural low-frequency performance that is full and elastic.
4 Knowles Mid Range BA + 2 Knowles Treble BA: Six Knowles balanced armatures include four mid-range and two high-frequency drivers. Custom-tuned by Kinera, these Knowles balanced armatures are responsible for Loki’s mid-range, with two additional Knowles balanced armatures connecting the mid and high frequencies via clever electronic and physical crossovers. Through fine tuning, they can handle both the natural low-frequency performance of the dynamic driver and the high-frequency advantage unique to electrostatic drivers, achieving a seamless integration of high, mid and low frequencies.
4 Sonion EST Drives for Ultra High Frequency and Airiness: Four electrostatic drivers are responsible for the ultra-high frequencies. One Sonion electrostatic driver works with four others to deliver Loki’s ultra-high frequency range, utilizing the wider frequency range, better transient response, stronger detail performance, and brighter yet still smooth sound characteristics of electrostatic drivers to interpret Loki’s sound. This results in extremely low distortion and a more realistic sound, bringing a bright and warm auditory experience.
1 Bone Conduction Driver: One bone conduction driver uses a contact-type bone conduction unit. Kinera’s custom-made contact-type bone conduction unit works in tandem with the low-frequency dynamic driver, providing a deeper, ultra-low-frequency performance with a unique bass presentation, forming an almost bottomless dive.

The Kiwi Ears Quartet was designed around their new sobaric double dynamic driver subwoofer. The innovative driver design utilizes two 10mm titanium diaphragms drivers, each independently driven by dual magnetic circuits. The pair of drivers were passively aligned to be phase synced and prevent sound wave cancellation.
This new subwoofer design emits extremely well extended sub-bass kicks that are tighter, faster, and deeper than any other previous woofer designs. The Quartet is Kiwi Ear’s answer for all those who want a fun in-ear monitor that will provide all the quality bass one could need.
Harmonious Balance
Although the Quartet is a bass-centric IEM, Kiwi Ears' still aimed to provide a natural tonal balance. This goal was centered around the need to provide a textured and powerful bass, but without any muddying or dulling in the mids or treble. The dynamic drivers were crossed over using a passive low-pass network at 350Hz to allow plenty of rich and thick bass, while the mids from 350-1kHz were tuned to be completely flat.
This allows an accurate tonality in the mids like that of neutral studio monitors, while giving a hint of warmth in the lower mids. This means the Quartet will sound thunderous in the bass, but still clean and flat in the mids, preventing unwanted bloating found in most earphones.
Custom Balanced Armature Drivers
The Quartet features a custom mid-high frequency balanced armature and a custom ultra-high tweeter balanced armature drivers. These drivers were modified to fit the balance of the new dynamic drivers by a tuned venting system to provide more airflow.
Following Kiwi Ears’ tradition, the balanced armatures are passively tuned to fit their in-house target curvature for the mids and trebles. This means the mid-treble provides crisp and clean tone to vocals and instruments, without sounding either dull or nasally.
The highs are detailed with plenty of sparkle for professional performance usage, but are natural and free of shrillness or fatigue.
Recommended Usages
The Quartet can be thought of as neutral studio monitors, but with sub-bass and bass emphasis beginning at 350Hz. This provides a little bit more of body, texture, and richness in the lower mids, but neutral mids and upper mids.
This IEM is perfect for performance drummers and bass guitarists who require powerful and impactful lows. Music enthusiasts who want quality bass but a natural tonality will also benefit from the Quartet’s tuning balance.
The Kiwi Ears Quintet is equipped with five drivers per side, combining 1 Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) dynamic driver, 2 balanced armature (BA) drivers, 1 planar magnetic driver, and 1 piezoelectric (PZT) bone conductor.
With a total of 5 drivers per each ear, the Quintet delivers extremely high-resolution audio comparable to professional studio monitors. A large 10mm DLC driver was selected as the sub-woofer due to DLC’s high responsiveness and tensile strength, which pumps out impactful bass slams, but with fast decay speeds. 2 Knowles balanced armature drivers deliver natural and resolving mids, a classic example of why balanced armatures are beloved in the industry.
Planar Tweeter Technology
The Quintet’s driver configuration includes the innovative Micro Planar Transducers (MPT), which are a new advancement in the IEM industry.
These new tweeters feature the classic planar magnetic driver circuitry but with a smaller footprint for use in hybrid designs. With an extremely low noise floor and high output capacity, these planar magnetic drivers deliver crisp and detailed treble that is unique from typical BA or EST (electrostatic) tweeters used in most IEM’s today.
Finally, a piezoelectric driver was utilized to deliver ultra-treble microdetail and air. In R&D testing, the presence of the PZT driver significantly enhanced perceived audio resolution, texture, and sound stage, making it a no-brainer to be an addition in the Quintet.
Micro Planar Transducers Drivers
Achieving a high quality ultra-treble has been a challenge in the IEM industry. BA drivers are compact, but offer low ultra-treble extension, and are also limited by their output and timbre quality.
The MPT drivers in the Quintet maintain consistent sound pressure from 4kHz to 14kHz and extend treble up to 40kHz. This provides greater flexibility in tuning and delivers a higher sense of resolution, creating an airy, spacious soundstage.
Balanced and Natural Sound
The IEM provides strong sub-bass with a 9dB shelf, transitioning smoothly into flat mids at 300Hz, and a well-tuned treble peak at 3kHz.
The result is a completely balanced tone that accurately reflects the best qualities of each driver. The sub-bass hits strong and fast, with a 9dB shelf that transitions into a flat mids at 300Hz.
This mids-bass transition ensures that there is a slight warmth in the lower mids for bass guitar notes to be in the mix, but still retain a studio-monitor-like neutrality to the upper mids.
Hi-Fi Audio Performance
The combination of 5 drivers per ear, including the innovative MPT and PZT drivers, enables the Quintet to produce an ultra-high resolution audio experience.
With enhanced sound texture, improved audio resolution, and a wide soundstage, the Quintet sets a new standard in IEM performance.

Through innovative thinking and extensive experimentation, Lime Ears has uncovered a method to achieve superior bass control by harnessing the energy emanating from the rear of the transducer’s membrane. Building on this, they've further refined their approach by incorporating open-cell memory foam. This unique addition acts as an effective damper for the driver, effectively reducing acoustic resonances within the enclosure. The result is a remarkable enhancement in stereo separation, pushing the boundaries of the soundstage to new depths and widths.
Inspirational Origins. This time, LE took inspiration from the bass reflex enclosures commonly found in studio monitors, to boost and enhance the bass quality by making use of energy reflection. Upon closer examination, they realized that such a mechanism was possible to be scaled down and be fitted inside our IEM, giving them greater control over the bass. After multiple iterations to mimic the speaker enclosure, they came up with a design that not only incorporated the essence of a bass reflex speaker, but also allows them to unlock and control the full potential of bass together with their SubWITCH™ technology.
VariBore™ Acoustic Design
Variable Bore. Through their exploration, Lime Ears discovered a pivotal role played by the bore diameter in managing various frequencies. By meticulously shaping bores with varying diameters, they are able to optimize the transmission of different frequencies with increased precision. This effect is particularly pronounced in higher frequencies, where the expanded diameter significantly mitigates air friction and minimizes resonant influences. The outcome is a distinct enhancement in the upper-frequency range, resulting in improved high-end extension and a notably smoother, more authentic rendition of highs.
Scarlet Silverstream Shell 2023
Scarlet Silverstream. As with the concept of Pneuma, Lime Ears' new acrylic shell is aesthetically designed to capture the feeling of warm air currents. It features a flawless blend of fiery red and soothing silver tones, where the silver sparkles mirror the liveliness of moving air while the rich red hues express the comforting embrace of warmth. The shell is 25% smaller than Pneuma V1 for a more comfortable fit. Scarlet Silverstream offers a harmonious fusion of visual and tactile sensations as if inviting you to embark on a journey through the tranquil currents of the element, air.

Its robust Aluminum chassis adds to its retro charm and durability. Sonically, the 465 excels with reference-level clarity, dynamic range, and balanced tuning, making it ideal for critical listening. It embodies MASS-Kobo’s dedication to precision and unadulterated audio excellence, solidifying its status as a benchmark in high-end amplification.
If you’re looking for unparalleled performance in every detail and have the wallet to pay for it, the 465 is the absolute endgame for headphone amplification. Read our full review here.
Build and Design
On the surface, the MASS-Kobo looks like any number of high-end components, with a vintage aesthetic rooted in 70s HiFi. Each button on the front panel has a bright green glow to indicate which gain, input, and output options you have selected. The inputs and outputs have to be independently selected, so you can’t, for example, listen to both the 4-pin XLR and 6.3mm outputs at the same time.
465 outputs a maximum of 4.5W into 32ohms, with an RMS of 3.8W. The design uses a high impedance output which provides stronger performance with lower sensitivity headphones than you would expect given the raw wattage number. Where some amps produce power in excess of 20W per channel for the purpose of driving headphones like Susvara, MASS-Kobo’s high output impedance solves the same problem with less than 5W.
Part of what makes MASS-Kobo amps stand out from other products is that the component selection doesn’t just come down to selecting the brand and model of each component; Masuda tests each specific, individual component before he puts it into the amp to ensure that it’s up to spec and that all components in the amp are perfectly matched. It’s this sort of attention to detail in the small things that makes the handmade 465 so sought after.
Sound
MASS-Kobo 465 delivers an exceedingly clean, detailed, linear sound without even a hint of color with most headphones. The linear, low noise floor, and low harmonic distortion are the hallmarks of MASS-Kobo’s design. Above all else, 465 gives you transparency with power.

Antonio Meze has always been passionate about connecting people with music through headphones. To that end, Meze headphones are typically more emotional and musical as opposed to reference or analytical. With full, impactful bass, detailed and layered mids, and emphasizing, energetic treble, the 109 Pro continues the Meze tradition, balancing warmth and engagement with detail and clarity. And with the beautifully crafted wood finish and extremely comfortable velour pads, the 109 Pro does it with comfort and style second to none. To top it off, and in keeping with Meze tradition, the 109 Pro is sensitive enough to work with almost any desktop or portable device out there.
We've been waiting years for Meze to release a follow-up to the 99 Classics, and the 109 Pro is easily a top recommendation for a sub-$1000 open back headphone.
The diaphragm is the heart of the headphone, producing the waves our brains ultimately perceive as sound. In order to meet the acoustic goals set for the 109 PRO, Meze Audio focused R&D efforts on materials research, looking for the perfect balance between mass and stiffness that would maximize sonic abilities.
The result was the 109 series Dual-composite Diaphragm: a combination of Beryllium-coated polymer, cellulose-carbon fiber composite, and copper-zinc alloy.
Acoustic Design
Through its open-back design, Meze wanted the 109 PRO to be vivid and exciting. With careful tuning by their in-house engineering team, it offers emotionally engaging sound with great detail, clarity, and just the right amount of punch. Its organic character, paired with superior dynamics, excellent imaging, and full-bodied vocals bring details to life. And the 109 Pro is easy to drive from most devices, portable sources or intricate home setups.
The spider-shaped structure and the acoustically transparent grill inside the ear-cup expose the driver from both sides, creating Meze's most open pattern to date and achieving an ideal anatomical fit.
Built for Comfort
Velour cushions surround the ears, providing a luxuriously comfortable fit while maintaining an optimal seal for natural sound. As velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions. We agree they are super comfy!
The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.
Superior Build Equals Superior Experience
The 109 PRO is all about comfort, from the structural design of the headphone to the choice of materials. Once placed on your head, you should forget they are even there, leaving you with nothing but the music.
With this perspective in mind, a combination of walnut wood, zinc, manganese steel, and vegan leather synergize into a comfortable, lightweight, yet highly durable headphone.
Sustainably Harvested Wood
The black walnut wood chosen and used for Meze headphones comes strictly from sources with a certificate of origin, harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This is a great way to protect the environment while leaving room for new life, and an opportunity for those old trees to shine once again in the shape of a Meze headphone.
Made With Longevity in Mind
The 109 PRO is crafted for sustainability. Meze Audio is sensitive to the fact that our choices today have a great impact in the world of tomorrow, thus they design products that last. It is their belief that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint. Following this philosophy, the 109 PRO can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if needed, extending the life of the product beyond expected limits.

The Skinny
Stunning looks, all the original accessories, and best of all, the sound. On paper, this Empyrean II checks every box. But you know what it doesn’t come with? The high price tag!
Whether you're a seasoned audiophile or just looking to treat yourself to a truly premium experience, this one's hard to beat. It even includes an extra set of pads and the coveted Meze Copper upgrade cable to sweeten the deal.
Opportunities like this don’t come around often, grab it before it’s gone!
“Is the Empyrean II better?” We feel the answer is found somewhere in the nexus of price, performance, and tuning preference. But it’s safe to say that Empyrean II is an improvement by most measurable standards, and boasts a more accurate, versatile sound while maintaining the core Empyrean identity.
When Meze released the original Empyrean in 2018, it was a revelation in high-end headphones, specifically due to the Rinaro hybrid isodynamic driver that combined the technicality of planars with the natural feeling of dynamics. Empyrean II retains the warmth and color of the original but aims for a higher degree of accuracy in the tuning, delivering a natural timbre, with a lush, organic sound.
Visually, the basic look, materials and design remain the same albeit with a more conventional black and silver color scheme and an updated grill design. And certainly, that “melt onto your head” comfort is just as good as it’s always been. However, the earpads are new with their ‘Duo’ hybrid providing the best sound overall with its half-leather, half-Alcantara design.
“Is the Empyrean II better?” We feel the answer is found somewhere in the nexus of price, performance, and tuning preference. But it’s safe to say that Empyrean II is an improvement by most measurable standards, and boasts a more accurate, versatile sound while maintaining the core Empyrean identity.
A natural step forward from Meze's first ever planar magnetic headphone, Empyrean II retains all the beloved elements of its iconic predecessor, with an added touch of sculptural elegance. Crafted with precision via CNC milling, the frame features a sleek matte black finish with silver accents, and a redesigned grill that draws inspiration from bold and timeless art deco patterns.
“When we first talked about creating the second generation of Empyrean, I knew it would be far from easy. With many ideas in mind, I reached out to our community, eager to gather their feedback... A lot of determination and many iterations later, we finally nailed it – Empyrean II.”
Meze Audio Designers and Engineers
Meze X Rinaro
Empyrean II emerges as the fruitful collaboration of two passionate companies that set out to explore uncharted territories. Meze Audio's engineering team has masterfully harnessed the power of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver to reach a new world of sound.
Sonic Mastery Reimagined
The result of years of R&D, Empyrean II lets you experience more of what you love: more clarity, more depth, more fun. The goal was to enhance the headphones’ ability to reproduce fine details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, all the while preserving the original “easy to listen to” character.
Using ingenious tuning methods, new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval were revealed, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of audio. The reliability and resistance of the membrane inside the driver was also improved, ensuring exceptional performance even in challenging acoustic environments.
Isodynamic Hybrid Array Architecture
The Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver combines individual switchback and spiral shaped voice coils in one driver, allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear.
Accurate Reproduction Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range.
Lightweight Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions.
Ergonomic Shape Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area.
Ultra-High Resolution Audio Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000Hz.
[MZ3] Hybrid Magnet Array Symmetrically placed on each side of the diaphragm, the neodymium magnets are specifically arranged into a Hybrid Array to create the efficient Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the surface.
Rinaro Isoplanar® Diaphragm Weighing only 0.16g while having 4650mm2 of active area.
[MZ3] Frame Fiberglass infused ABS.
Isoplanar® Diaphragm Material
The switchback coil is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver. The spiral coil is more efficient at reproducing middle-high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal enabling more direct sound waves to enter the ear without time delays.
Isomagnetic® Earcup to Earpad Coupling Technology
Rinaro’s Isomagnetic® coupling technology makes switching earpads a breeze. It utilizes the demagnetizing field generated by the driver to secure the earcup in place, while simultaneously redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver, thereby enhancing efficiency.
Your Sound, Your Choice
Elevate your listening experience to new heights – Empyrean II comes with two sets of earpads, allowing the ultimate sound customization. Switch between Duo and Angled earpads for an auditory journey that is entirely your own.
Duo Earpads Specifically tailored to match Empyrean II, Duo pads are crafted from a blend of premium leather and Alcantara. With leather forming the base half and Alcantara covering the rest, they are a flawless fusion delivering a tonal balance that resonates across all music genres.
Angled Alcantara Earpads Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara with a fine protective mesh on the grill, the angled earpads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the earpad for an airier sound signature, cleaner bass, and improved presence in the mid-range.
Unbound Comfort
With Empyrean II, your music takes center stage. Following the highest standard for comfort, and with a purpose-built structure that minimizes weight and pressure, this headphone instantly adapts to the shape of your head. This highly acclaimed synergy of ergonomics and premium material guarantees exceptional sound and uninterrupted hours of music without discomfort.

Bloom's Take
It's not often that you have one of those "wow, where has this been all my life" moments. Empyrean delivers that. Our office has been abuzz nonstop since the moment we received our demo pair. Beyond jaw-dropping sound, one thing we've come to love the most is the unsurpassed comfort. Meze's unique "suspension wings" increase the headrest’s contact surface area with your head and relieve uncomfortable pressure points exceptionally well. It's one of the very few headphones that can truly be comfortably worn all day.
Ultimately, at its price, despite its beautiful design and superb handmade craftsmanship, the Empyrean is not just a luxurious headphone – it's a groundbreaking engineering masterpiece. Our highest recommendation.
A blend of premium materials, exquisite craftsmanship and detailing that’s unmistakably Meze, Empyrean is one of the most technologically innovative planar magnetic headphones in the world.
“Empyrean was born from passion, curiosity and innovation. As a business, we have allowed ourselves the freedom to experiment and take risks in search of the perfect sound. To generate something truly remarkable, one must dare to explore, and that’s what we did with Empyrean. We pushed and refined industry’ standards and achieved a true game changer for audiophiles.”
Antonio Meze - Lead Designer, Founder of Meze Audio
Empyrean is the product of two passionate companies coming together to explore what is possible beyond their individual capabilities. The result is a no-compromise headphone embodying Meze’s daring aesthetic and user-centered design approach and Rinaro’s experience in research and development within the field of planar magnetics. Rinaro, a progressive audio company, has at the heart of its technology an R&D team that has been at the forefront of planar magnetic development since the 1980’s. What originally started as a state-funded initiative with a focus on innovation has now entered into a new chapter of audio progression with the opening of a cutting-edge industrial facility in Ukraine.
Over 30 years of research and development have led to the creation of the first Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver.

While the product is a 4N grade material (copper purity 99.99%), it possesses high malleability and drawability that allows processing up to superfine wires.
Hand Braided in Baia Mare, Romania
Featuring a proven twisted design, each cable is made of 140 conductors with 0.04mm in diameter, in an eight-wire to four-wire braid configuration. Twisting the wires minimizes the energy of the magnetic fields created by each wire, allowing us to achieve proper noise and signal interference reduction. This technique accomplishes two main objectives: reduces outgoing noise and reduces incoming noise related to electromagnetic interference.
The Perfect Match for Your Liric and 109 PRO

Bloom's Take
When Meze launched the OG Liric, it was one of few high-end closed-back planar magnetic headphones on the street, and at $2K, it was nicely situated between flagship closed-backs like the Focal Stellia, and a growing number of options in the $1K range. It brought with it the hallmarks of Meze’s build and design fundamentals, but didn’t quite equal the wow factor of the Empyrean or Elite.
Enter Liric 2. With new Macassar ebony wood cups and updates to the sound and technical performance, the next evolution of the Liric captures the spirit of Meze more than the original. With its magnetic removable pads, warmer sound, extraordinary stereo imaging, and visual enhancements, it’s not just a better version of Liric, it’s simply a better Meze Headphone.
Liric, Meze's closed-back isodynamic headphone, is turning the page on a new chapter, enhancing its essence while introducing a richer sound and refined tuning. Macassar ebony wood adorns the earcups, an invitation to connect with Mother Nature's warmth. Merging form with function, the earpads have been re-engineered for effortless maintenance, now adopting a detachable magnetic design.
Tuned Up The sound of the LIRIC has been refined with the help of the community’s feedback, and it now falls in between a balanced and warm profile. This means you get a mix of clear and accurate audio, with a touch of warmth for added depth.
A Feeling of Warmth Coming from a tradition of Maramures craftsmanship, the design language of the Gen 1 LIRIC was preserved with added warmth via the introduction of wood. Macassar ebony was the right fit, a heavy, dense, aesthetic hardwood known for its deep, rich brown color.
QWRM The Quarter Wavelength Resonator Mask is a precision-crafted metal component that strategically covers select openings in the driver frame, to effectively attenuate high-frequency peaks above 7kHz for a less fatiguing listening experience.
Designed for Life
In the spirit of natural evolution, LIRIC joins the Meze Audio family of products with detachable magnetic earpads. This ultimately translates into enhanced reliability and serviceability, characteristics of which music enthusiasts worldwide have grown accustomed.
Quality in Every Aspect
Meze's hand-braided copper cable now serves as the stock cable for LIRIC II. Efforts have been focused towards enhancing the listening experience, offering a 4.4mm termination premium cable suitable for most portable headphone amplifiers, as well as a 9.8' soft TPE cable with a 3.5mm jack, ideal for home headphone setups.
Robust and Supremely Comfortable
To the already optimal blend of materials comes the striped ebony wood, solidifying LIRIC’s role in the world as a refined work of art. Gradual development was the key to achieving this formidable fusion of leather, wood, and metal. The new build is just as flexible and resistant to shock, wear, and oxidation.
The effect of this premium selection echoes across multiple senses: a lightweight, lovely-to-the-touch, easily adjustable headphone that will stand the test of time for generations.

A well-constructed IEM with a neutral-leaning tuning, MoonDrop’s Blessing 3 is an excellent performer for the price. It’s also crazy popular among MoonDrop’s loyal fan base which can often lead to cries of being “over-hyped.” However, we feel the Blessing 3 is the quintessential example of what’s possible in a $300 IEM.
In the box, you get the 3D-printed resin IEMs, Silver-plated Copper cable, a leatherette case, eartips, and an aviation adapter. Blessing 3’s sound is largely neutral with a controlled bass boost, compliments of the Horizontally Opposed driver system (HODDDUS.) The stand-out among its peers though is its strong technical performance offering excellent detail retrieval and resolution. While there isn’t a ton of native depth to the imaging, it scales nicely in that regard with the right source.
Blessing 3 captures the adaptability that comes from solid execution of a specific target tuning. And with the technical performance you get from MoonDrop’s superb engineering, the Blessing 3 is a great all-arounder and easily one of the best IEMs under $500.
The OG Blessing achieved global recognition thanks to its reasonable price, innovative acoustic design and excellent performance. Its successor, Blessing 2, built on this success with reference sound quality, impeccable details and all-round improved hardware performance, overturning the hybrid headphone rankings and attaining the status of a benchmark product. After more than 3 years of constant development and tuning, the long-awaited successor of Blessing 2 is here: Blessing 3.
2DD + 4BA Hybrid Triple-Frequency Division

It utilizes a new driver design that delivers higher dynamic range and lower nonlinear distortion. Continuity and smoothness of the mid-highs has been optimized, ensuring ultra-high detail. Combined with a brand-new bass module, the result is a full-bodied and authentically natural sound quality.
H.O.D.D.D.U.S.
The new Horizontally-Opposed Double Dynamic Driver module demonstrates the advantages of the hybrid earphone in bass dynamics. H.O.D.D.D.U.S. uses dual 10mm dynamic drivers arranged closely and symmetrically using 3D-printed modular components. They form a physical band-pass filter comprising of two independent filtering structures and damping devices, thereby facilitating acoustic adjustment.
The maximum SPL of Blessing 3 is double that of the previous model, and the diaphragm stroke under the same SPL is less than half, significantly improving the sound quality of low frequencies. Energy conversion efficiency is also improved along with reduced nonlinear distortion thanks to H.O.D.D.D.U.S. And finally, smooth and natural timbre is achieved through the use of the flexible suspension diaphragm which minimizes resonance.
High-Precision 3D-Printing
As in previous versions, frequency division in Blessing 3 is performed in part by a physical filter consisting of a compact and efficient 3D-printed acoustic structure. This design has yielded a doubling of the parameters and accuracy of the Blessing 2, with even better acoustic indices.

Large 100mm Diaphragm
In contrast to traditional planar magnetic headphones, Cosmo adopts an ultra-large 100mm-diameter diaphragm incorporating Full Drive Technology (FDT). The entire vibrating surface of the diaphragm is evenly covered with effective driving circuits and enclosed in a magnetic field. This technology results in low-split vibration far superior to traditional planar magnetic headphones and comparable to that of electrostatics.
Patented FDT Full Drive Technology
Traditional Planar Magnetic Headphone Diaphragm Circuit Effective and ineffective driving circuits co-exist in the vibration area, and only the central part of the diaphragm is driven, generating large split vibrations that cause burrs in treble details and distortion of timbre.
FDT Full Drive Technology The vibrating part of the diaphragm is placed in a uniform planar magnetic field, and effective drive circuits extend over the entire area of the vibrating surface. This exerts a uniform full-surface driving force comparable to that of electrostatic headphones, eliminating split vibrations and delivering a treble performance far superior to that of traditional planar magnetic headphones.
HF Phase Control Waveguide
Cosmo innovatively adds three-dimensional independent high-frequency phase control waveguide components on both sides of the diaphragm to greatly reduce the phase cancellation caused by reflection and diffraction of medium-high frequency and high-frequency sound waves in the front and rear cavities, so that the treble tone is smoother and more delicate, and the sound image is more open and real.
N52 Magnet Array Optimized by FEA Finite Element Analysis
The Cosmo planar magnetic headphone adopts an array of 36 extra-large N52 neodymium strip magnets to generate a planar magnetic field covering the entire vibrating surface of the diaphragm, optimized by FEA finite element simulation to ensure the uniform and efficient distribution of the magnetic field over the vibrating surface.
The integrated space-stacked structure of the driver cavity consists of a large magnetic circuit with a uniform magnetic field that completely covers the vibrating area of the extra-large FDT diaphragm.
After exhaustive and comprehensive mechanical simulation, the heavy alloy frame was replaced with a plastic structure of lightweight, high-strength and industrial-grade plastic capable of bearing the loads of the magnetic circuit system and greatly reducing weight.
Thanks to the innovative application of new electro-acoustic technology and patented acoustic structure design, Cosmo achieves superior acoustic performance equal to classic high-end flagship headphones.
The MOONDROP R&D team leverages years of experience and technological know-how to create a more beautiful timbre for you.
The smoother wide-band amplitude-frequency response characteristics of highly-matched VDS bring to Cosmo an open soundstage, a more extended timbre, excellent details, punchy dynamics, and burr-free treble.
Even at sound pressures exceeding 1Pa, Cosmo can achieve ultra-low nonlinear distortion below 0.05% across almost the entire frequency range, enabling it to offer a pure, uncolored, relaxed, natural, and stable timbre, and reach the quality level of high-end desktop systems.

Searching for Perfect Harmony in a Tribrid IEM
Since the application of electrostatic driver for in-ear earphones, products with electrostatic units have emerged one after another, but they have been criticized for reasons such as "unaccept able tone" or "difficult to drive".
The development of Variations adopts our previous experience in the development of EST + BA hybrid and EST + DD hybrid earphones. With 3D printing, a precise physical filter structure and frequency divider circuit are manu factured to produce excellent amplitude-frequency response and phase-frequency response. Conveys the perfect harmony of the sound and imaging.
Ergonomic fit for the ear canal and Skin-friendly texture design
Variations continues the ergonomic design of multi-unit composite earphones, which can fit the human ear canal comfortability. The cavity is made of medical resin 3D printing. Hand polished and finely sandblasted design for skin-friendly surface, which not only has an excellent texture, but also fits the ear canal more comfortably. It looks elegant when the fine sandblasting stainless steel panel fits with the frosted cavity.
The bass driver adopts the newly developed 10mm liquid crystal diaphragm composite copper inner cavity diaphragm dynamic driver. The liquid crystal polymer liquid crystal polymer diaphragm with a thickness of only 9um has balanced compliance and domping. Dual balanced armature drivers are customized by Softears, which is not only transient and excellent in detail, but also exhibits amplitude-frequency characteristics that high meet the requirements of Variation design, which complements the DD and the EST drivers. The Variations treble driver adopts Sonion's new high-power version of one-to-two compound double electrostatic tweeter, which bring high-efficiency, dymanic, and excellent resolution to the high pitch.
In order to achieve excellent frequency response and consistent phase across all frequencies, Variations inherited and improved the hybrid crossover design of Blessing2. Through the 3D printed precision acoustic channel combined with domping materials to achieve low-frequency physicol bond-pass filtering and medium-high-frequency low-pass smoothing filtering, coupled with accurate RC low-poss filter circuit, high- pass filter circuit and equalization circuit, Variations con show very ideal frequency response and phase indicators.
Excellent Acoustic Performance through Masterful 3D Printing
In order to accurately achieve the complex physical filtering intermal structure of Variations and avoid the acoustic structure error, an ultra high-precision 3D printing process is needed, so we cooperate with the well-known 3D printing supplier "HeyGears Technology" to apply its mature high-precision DLP 3D printing technology and use imported medical-grade UV resin to produce high precision, high transparency, high hardness, and accurate complex cavity.
Advanced transducer unit and rigorous acoustic structure design, coupled with carefully polished physical filtering and crossover circuits, make Variations outstanding results in both linear and nonlinear distortions. Frequency Response is tuned based on MOONDROP VDSF Target Response (calculated by combining B&K HATS diffusion field HRTF and room reverberation curve) to bring a true and accurate longitudinal sound field and present the sound quality that can accurately restore the bring a true accurate longitudinal soundstage and an original restored sound timbre.
