IEM· $220· 2026-07-28Moondrop Kadenz
The Kato, three decibels leaner — and nobody agrees whether that's a refinement or a downgrade.

IEM· $109· 2026-07-21Moondrop Starfield 2
Moondrop's warm little starter, reborn bright — gorgeous, technical and wide-staging, but the room splits hard on its shouty upper mids.

IEM· $520· 2026-07-14Moondrop Variations
The $520 tribrid that made estat treble mainstream — a near-Harman reference to most, a pricey Blessing-2 remix to the rest.

Moondrop KATO
Moondrop's mirror-polished all-rounder — smooth, refined and endlessly recommended, yet quietly divisive on treble, slam and whether 'safe' means boring.

Moondrop MAY
The IEM with a DAC in its cable — universally comfy and endlessly tweakable, and quietly divisive on bass, treble air, and Moondrop's QC.

Moondrop Aria 2
Moondrop's safe, balanced upgrade — beloved cable and comfort, but the room splits on bass, treble, value, and that chipping paint.
