Headphones — Moondrop KADENZ

The KADENZ is a wired in-ear monitor from Moondrop, built with exceptional sensitivity and a wide bandwidth. The KADENZ brings Moondrop's considered engineering to a closed, wired in-ear format.

Key specs that matter

The transducer uses dynamic or isodynamic driver technology in a closed, wired in-ear configuration. Frequency response spans a wide 8Hz to 21,000Hz within plus-or-minus 10dB. Sensitivity is an exceptional 122dB SPL at 1kHz/1mW - among the highest efficiency figures available in any in-ear monitor - with impedance at 35 ohms at 1kHz.

Sound and use context

Expect exceptionally efficient, detailed reproduction reflecting the extraordinary 122dB sensitivity - this remarkable efficiency figure means the KADENZ reaches loud volumes from even the most minimal source power.

Pairing

The extraordinary 122dB sensitivity broadens compatible source devices considerably, letting even the most modest smartphone outputs drive this earphone to loud volumes.
