Headphones — Moondrop Para 2

The Moondrop Para 2 is a closed-back, over-ear headphone for wired use. It shares the dual 3.5mm connector format of the open-back Horizon, is the closed-back member of the same over-ear range and stands out for its unusually low impedance.

Key specs that matter

Moondrop gives the response as 20 Hz to 20 kHz, a narrower span than the Horizon's extended figure. Sensitivity reaches 106 dB per milliwatt, while impedance drops to a very low 9 ohms.

Engineering and use context

The closed earcups keep the sound in and outside noise out, so the Para 2 works in shared living spaces and on the move, where an open headphone would leak and let ambient sound through.

Pairing

Such a low load paired with this sensitivity means any phone or portable source can drive the Para 2 without extra amplification. Some source devices, however, handle very low impedance loads less cleanly than they handle higher-impedance headphones.

Alternatives

The Moondrop Horizon is the open-back option for a listener who values openness over isolation.
