Headphones — Moondrop STELLARIS

The STELLARIS is a wired in-ear monitor from Moondrop, built with distinctive electrostatic or planar-magnetic driver technology and an exceptionally wide bandwidth. The STELLARIS brings Moondrop's more accomplished current engineering to a closed, wired in-ear format.

Key specs that matter

The transducer uses electrostatic or planar-magnetic driver technology in a closed, wired in-ear configuration - a more advanced driver approach than the dynamic drivers found throughout most of Moondrop's catalogue. Frequency response spans an exceptionally wide 10Hz to 50,000Hz within plus-or-minus 10dB. Connection uses a standard 3.5mm jack. Sensitivity is an extraordinary 117dB SPL at 1kHz/1mW, with impedance at 36 ohms at 1kHz.

Sound and use context

Expect the fast, detailed transient response electrostatic or planar-magnetic driver technology is broadly known for, representing a considerable engineering step up from Moondrop's dynamic-driver models, combined with the extraordinary 117dB sensitivity.

Pairing

The extraordinary 117dB sensitivity makes the STELLARIS easy to drive from any source, including modest smartphone outputs, despite its advanced planar-magnetic driver technology.

Alternatives

Moondrop's own Psyche offers a dynamic-driver alternative with an even wider bandwidth and dedicated balanced connection instead.
