Headphones — Moondrop RAYS

The RAYS is a distinctive wired in-ear headphone from Moondrop, built with either electrostatic or planar-magnetic driver technology and a detachable cable system. The RAYS brings Moondrop's considered engineering to a serious wired in-ear format.

Key specs that matter

The transducer uses electrostatic or planar-magnetic driver technology in a closed, in-ear, wired configuration - premium driver technologies favoured for their exceptional speed and detail retrieval. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 7Hz to 39,000Hz within plus-or-minus 10dB. Connection uses a detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable system. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 120dB SPL at 1kHz/1mW, with impedance at a comparatively benign 30 ohms.

Sound and use context

Expect the exceptionally fast, detailed character electrostatic and planar-magnetic driver technology is broadly celebrated for, with the extraordinary 120dB sensitivity meaning this in-ear reaches satisfying volumes readily from virtually any source.

Pairing

The detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable system allows aftermarket cable upgrades, and the extraordinary 120dB sensitivity makes the RAYS compatible with virtually any source.

Alternatives

Moondrop's own Meteor offers a dynamic-driver alternative sharing a similar detachable cable system within the same broader catalogue.
