Oh yes only a select few people know of the hidden gem animation known as "Fairly Odd Parents" it's pretty niche, definitely not a primetime show on one of the biggest TV channels
I literally came to the most recently posted Headphones Show video to post exactly this idea. Resolve, DMS, Goldensound, Joshua Valour, (possibly Crinacle but highly doubt he will with his new endeavors) and anyone else knowledgeable on the subject. I'm a big fan of EQ and would love to see a tierlist of the subjective sound experience when "dialed in" with EQ since some drivers have great potential but wonky tuning. Thanks!
I would like to sincerely thank Resolve for touting the virtues of EQ over many videos. I finally took the EQ plunge (using the Qudelix 5K) and just the community presets have - in my opinion - added at least $1000 in value to my modest but decent headphone collection (HD600, Sundara, AKG K371, Modhouse Argon). My guess is with the Cosmo plus EQ you'd be wasting money buying anything more expensive.
yeah some of those presets are fantastic, they opened up my kph40 and gave them some really satisfying bass. a $40 headphone now sounds like a $200 headphone.
For a long time we've heard of V shaped headphones, it's about time we get an A shaped headphone. All jokes aside this looks really interesting, especially as an EQ/Detailhead who is very sensitive to treble, I was previously looking at getting an Arya Stealth and EQ-ing down the treble, but now I might be looking into getting one of these at some point and simply EQ-ing up the bass (although I do enjoy a lot of bass every once in a while so I'm unsure how much bass EQ these could handle)
Man moondrop have come so far, they plan for the upcoming electrostatic earspeaker I remember when they only make earbud flathead, the mx1n then the vx lineup, now its headphone
I own these headphones. These are great, but try putting Moondrop Para's stock pads, its a much better pads for it. With that pad I can use it all day. Also keep it dry as much as possible, avoid sweaty situations as the paint peels so easily. I've had these for less than 6 months and I already have its paint peeling With that said, I read from forums that Amps does change the sound signature a bit. I really want your opinion on that part, since I don't have a lot of Amps to test it out.
@@thisrocks I also have the Cosmo with Para pads. I had to email ShenzhenAudio to get the pads special ordered because I wasn’t going to buy a Para just for the pads. Took about 8 or 9 days to come.
I think these are very cool I just wish moondrop would experiment a bit more with form factor the last few releases have been a bit samey compared to their IEM segment where they make drastic changes across the board with alot of their models
They had the prototype at CanJam NYC this year and a lot of people missed it because they were low key unofficially there at another table. The rep didn’t seem to be very fluent in English and there was no official name or price yet. The prototype was in black and sounded pretty good. I had them on my short list of products to watch out for but became less enthusiastic once the price was announced and they weren’t available in black.
From the measurements this looks like Sundara with warmer treble with a little different in 1khz region. From my experience this is probably an enjoyable listening experience.
The lack of weirdness in the treble and ease of EQ is quite intriguing. Would it be possible to turn the headband clips upside down to slightly reduce the height and would this be a viable solution?
Hey Andrew! Here's my wishlist for this review (things that you didn't talk about): (1) Technicalities like sound stage, imaging, dynamics, (2) How it fares with different styles of music. Everyone knows you like Jazz but how do you like it for electronic music or rock, etc.? (3) How does it compare to similarly priced headphones? Would you prefer it over a Clear (Mg), Arya Stealth, LCD-X, etc.? (4) Have you tried to replicate this FR on other headphones using EQ? Do you like it there? At this price it isn't gonna be an "oh I'll just gobble one up next chance I get" headphone like the FT1, and it can be very difficult to find in shops -- Moondrop isn't exactly Sennheiser. So you saying it sounds really good doesn't quite cut it for me. IIRC you also liked the Sundara and Susvara, so where about does it land? Is it a good value for money, in your opinion? Would you buy it for yourself?
Hey, thanks for the feedback. I mainly want to move away from using the traditional language categories surrounding 'technicalities', because they mean different things to different people, given they're ultimately just descriptions of the subjective experience. I still mention it if there's something noteworthy to talk about, but what I really want to move away from is parsing a headphone by the audiophile categories I feel are somewhat erroneous to begin with. Like I talked a lot about detail and texture in this review particularly to do with certain instrument and vocal tones, because that's the standout quality to MY experience. But I feel we collectively need to move away from the traditional method of reviewing things based around specific categories of 'technicalities'. As for other music, I feel this headphone would benefit from a bass shelf for electronic music, and but it is palatable for tracks that'd otherwise be more fatiguing, given the relaxed ear gain. How does it compare to the HiFiMANs? It's quite different, and like I mentioned it's less like the HiFiMAN presentation and more like the Focal open back sound signature, with that forward midrange character. I was close to saying the Cosmo is my favorite sounding headphone below $1k, but I do prefer more bass than it has. But it's quite close to that, and for me it's easy enough to add a bass shelf. Would I buy it for myself? No, because I prioritize comfort and it's a bit heavy for me.
@@ResolveReviews Thanks for the long reply! I see where you're coming from regarding the technicalities, although I think I have a slightly different stance. I believe you're closer to oratory's side of the spectrum, i.e., "headphones are minimum phase systems and thus are fully described by their FR" and that therefore even things like sound stage are ultimately FR-based psychoacoustic effects. I'd love to have a chat about that but I'm living in Europe and Socal is too expensive to visit at this point. Maybe Munich/Vienna some time (although still kinda far). If you get a chance, maybe you can address this point: If sound stage is just an FR-based effect, how come different headphones with matched FR will still show clear differences in sound stage? (Background: I did that test. Several headphones EQ'd to the same exact FR (within reason, think 20 filters +5 or so for channel matching). Granted, matched on EARS and not my head, but confirmed to be very similar in tonality by ear. And granted, still with minor remaining differences in the treble, but smaller or similar differences than FR variation from different sittings (seatings?).) I will soon have the opportunity to test Arya Stealth vs. Organic with matched FR, and in that case at least the acoustic impedance shouldnt make using EARS for the matching an "invalid approach". Anyway, would love to get your take on this!
@@TheSimChannel Oh, yeah that's a fairly common kind of example. The only way to actually determine if the FR is the same is to measure at the ear drum. No measurement fixture is measuring at YOUR ear drum, and of course the EARS doesn't have remotely close to accurate acoustic impedance to even get a ballpark sense of the in situ difference between two headphones. So simply put, you may be able to EQ two headphones identically on a rig, and they may even sound similar. But they are guaranteed to still measure differently at your ear drum, and fine-grained features are less likely to be identified in perception of the spectral balance. Second, HpTF is a massive variable in all of this. We talk about this a lot because it's key to understanding where our position comes from, but effectively headphones behave differently on different heads, and depending on the design of the headphone (and it's acoustic impedance), the behaviour can vary in different ways. Even the best case scenario - that being the HD 800 S - the behaviour changes from head to head. And what you're seeing when looking at a graph is just the behaviour on one 'head'. So the bottom line is that even if general tonality can be perceptually similar for wideband, that doesn't mean it actually is equivalent FR at the ear drum, and how the FR features relate to a listener's HRTF can have a meaningful impact on the experience. Lastly, there are also all kinds of psychoacoustic effects that are influential in the subjective experience that prime is for things like 'spaciousness', such as how acoustically open the headphone is. And even if we're aware of those effects, they can still be influential.
@@ResolveReviews And thanks again! So to summarize your point; due to the effects of acoustic impedance even headphones that measure the same on the rig are likely to measure differently on a person's head, especially when the rig is the EARS. And by extension, if the FR is *actually* identical measured at my eardrums, the psychoacoustic effect of spaciousness / sound stage should be identical between the two. However, if we take the Arya Stealth vs. Organics, which are, for all I know, basically the same headphone except for the driver, we should expect that the acoustic impedance between the two on one and the same rig should be close to identical, no? Sure, the FR on the EARS has nothing to do with the FR on my head, but if the acoustic impedance of two headphones is the same, then matching their FR is more like comparing the left and right channel of the same headphone (please grant me that the EARS can at least do that). And that (Organic vs. Stealth) is a test I can soon make. I'm also open to getting a pair of in-ear microphones, if the cost is somewhat reasonable. Still have to look into that whole topic though.
@@TheSimChannel The acoustic Z may be similar between those two, but the FR won't be because the drivers are different, especially for a more modal headphone like that. So you're going to end up having differences in the FR at high frequency always. It's kind of like what Oratory says all the time on this, in theory if the FR at the ear drum is the same between two headphones, then they should sound the same, but it's impossible for two headphones to have the same FR at the ear drum. So no two headphones will ever sound exactly the same. In-ear mics may be helpful in getting closer, but that's just for blocked canal data. I recommend checking the 'Pirate' in-ear mic spec.
While I like the overall design, I just hate that bent metal part of the headband connecting to cups, same with their Para. I'm guessing they were going for 'minimalistic' but it just looks cheap
I found the stock pads very uncomfortable for my giant head. I swapped ZMF Caldera Lambskin Ultra Perf pads on these and they’re perfect for me. I had to trim a little bit of the edge off the pad but not a big deal.
I'd like to try these as I already have the Moondrop Para and Venus which I love. $900 is too prohibitive of a price point though, and I don't mind waiting for a price drop.
I tried them all and on stock pads Venus are the best for me. Para is much worse than Cosmo and Venus in my opinion. I tried Cosmo with Para pads but comfort was unacceptable. My ears were touching this metal mesh and there was very little space for ears comparing to stock pads.
The treble quality of this headphone looks smoother than pretty much anything else which is probably why it sounds so detailed. Shame they didnt up the fit and finish from the para and that suspension strap will have worn out in less than 2 years not good for this price.
You don't need 110 dB in your headphones 12:38, so you don't need an amplifier. 110 dB volume is dangerous for your hearing, 85 is the maximum for long listening.
Yes. But even if you listen at an average of that volume, the peak will be quite a bit higher. Still not 110dB, but I think it's fine to consider that, especially if you want to do something like adding a bass boost.
That's because the HRTF is more than just information above 1khz. People don't realize this but the low frequency information is still the bottom part of the transfer function.
As someone with a smaller head, finding quality headphones is a struggle. They are almost always either too heavy or big or loose or a combination of the above...
You know I wonder if that pad swapping magnetic disc system is what creates the bass presentation being quite small. It maybe the seal. Audeze and DCA use glue or adhesive for a reason.
@@ResolveReviewswell noted. That does make sense. Thank you for your reply, my friend. I’ve experienced driver flex once in IEM mainly because I was using the wrong tips at the time, so I can definitely understand your point. 🤓
But does it waifu? y no box? crinacle waifu 4 raifu!. Also I love the industrial design on the cosmo on the para and some other moondrop products (at least on the looks) looks like something from the 70's.
Your review seems very incomplete to me; you leave us in the air; We don't know what level it is vs what other overs? How can we buy a hearing aid like this without having references; the reviews must have comparisons otherwise we don't know anything; I have heard wonders about in ears of 20 dollars as I have also heard the same thing in 50, 100, 500, 1000, 50,000, etc.
Best for not the best price? Also same unpractical base, 0 work on it. You cant rotate cups normally, still heavy as fk. Measurments not even not great, but super weird.
Obsolescence and consumerism ad nauseum. I'm not sure why smartphone culture emerging in the HiFi hobby is being celebrated, but then I'm not the kind of guy who buys HiFi gear on Amazon fecking Prime Day without having heard it, so I'm probably not the target market.
Not really, if you can read FR graphs every Moondrop headphones sound pretty different from each other. I get that information fatigue is a valid issue for all of us, but it's still great when a headphone brings something new to the table that hasn't been done before. Which, in the case of the Cosmo, seems to be a planar with a good mid range and tamer treble reminiscent of MM-500/LCD-5 kind of tuning but at a lower price.
Hey. Im interested in some good headphones but most, if not all headphones in the high end use leather. Are there any good sounding cans that also happens to be vegan??? 🐮🤍

Best for not the best price? Also same unpractical base, 0 work on it. You cant rotate cups normally, still heavy as fk. Measurments not even not great, but super weird.
so....basically Moondrop is taking the same headphone form factor and renaming it every few months? What's next? The Moondrop Greator?
Obsolescence and consumerism ad nauseum. I'm not sure why smartphone culture emerging in the HiFi hobby is being celebrated, but then I'm not the kind of guy who buys HiFi gear on Amazon fecking Prime Day without having heard it, so I'm probably not the target market.
Not really, if you can read FR graphs every Moondrop headphones sound pretty different from each other.
I get that information fatigue is a valid issue for all of us, but it's still great when a headphone brings something new to the table that hasn't been done before. Which, in the case of the Cosmo, seems to be a planar with a good mid range and tamer treble reminiscent of MM-500/LCD-5 kind of tuning but at a lower price.

Hey. Im interested in some good headphones but most, if not all headphones in the high end use leather. Are there any good sounding cans that also happens to be vegan??? 🐮🤍
