01.01.2025 06:52 | ~1 minute read
Moondrop has introduced the Moondrop Meteor in-ear hybrid headphones, which are based on a hybrid assembly of seven drivers (a 13-mm dynamic driver with N52 neodymium magnets and a composite dome diaphragm, two composite armature and four planar ones). Moondrop Meteor implements XTM technology, and the headphones are tuned according to the VDSF curve.
Moondrop developed the Meteor headphone housings using DLP-3D printing technology from HeyGears, which is the largest 3D printing brand in the industry. Moondrop Meteor headphones are equipped with a silver-plated copper cable equipped with 0.78-mm 2-pin connectors and a replaceable plug system and includes a 3.5-mm unbalanced mini-jack and a 4.4-mm balanced Pentaconn.
Moondrop Meteor in-ear monitors are now available for a suggested retail price of $499.99.
