The company initially focused on developing small open earbuds around 2014 before rebranding to Moondrop Labs in 2015 with the release of their first product, the Moondrop VX, which established their reputation as an entry-level brand before transitioning to the In-Ear-Monitor form factor with the innovative Kanas in 2017. Moondrop achieved mainstream recognition through their strategic adoption of the Harman-Neutral frequency response curve based on Dr. Sean Olive's research, leading to staggering commercial success with products like the mid-tier Blessing series launched in 2018 and the groundbreaking Liebesleid that set new standards for sound quality and design. Operating from a sophisticated million-class dust-free workshop equipped with top-level international acoustic measurement equipment including Audio Precision APx555 analyzers and B&K Type4128c HATS simulators, Moondrop integrates industrial creativity, technological research and development, mass-production, and multi-channel marketing under their corporate philosophy of 'constant innovation based on science and technology, and the improvement of services for the benefit of the consumer.'
