Moondrop celebrates its 10th anniversary with the Pavane, a flagship flat-head IEM blending vintage design and modern engineering.
Features a groundbreaking 13.5mm dynamic driver with an N55 magnet system, a first in flat-head IEMs, for detailed sound reproduction.
Third-generation DLC diaphragm with composite structure enables exceptional clarity and dynamic range via FEA-optimized vibration.
Celebrating a decade of innovation, Moondrop has unveiled the Pavane, its flagship flat-head in-ear headphones. This release marks a significant milestone, showcasing refined engineering and the use of high-end materials aimed at delivering an immersive audio experience. The Pavane builds on Moondrop’s reputation for excellence, blending vintage inspiration with modern craftsmanship to cater to discerning audiophiles.
At the core of the Pavane lies a substantial 13.5mm dynamic driver, encapsulated within polished stainless steel ear tips. This design is not merely aesthetic; it incorporates a robust N55 magnet system, a first for flat-head IEMs, to ensure powerful and detailed sound reproduction. The diaphragm is crafted from Moondrop’s third-generation Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) dome combined with a composite structure. Through extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling, engineers have optimized the vibration characteristics, achieving crystal-clear fidelity and an expansive dynamic range.
Continuing Moondrop’s legacy from previous models like the Liebeslied and Chaconne, the Pavane shifts from brass to stainless steel, enhancing durability without sacrificing elegance. The non-detachable cable is constructed from single-crystal copper coated in pure silver, preserving signal integrity and consistency. It comes with interchangeable plugs, including a standard 3.5mm unbalanced jack and a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn connector, providing versatility for various listening setups.
Priced at $379.99, the Pavane stands as a testament to Moondrop’s commitment to sonic perfection. Its combination of advanced acoustic engineering, premium materials, and timeless design positions it as a top choice for audiophiles seeking a flagship-level listening experience in a flat-head form factor. With the Pavane, Moondrop not only celebrates its 10th anniversary but also sets a new benchmark in the realm of high-fidelity in-ear headphones.
