Moondrop METEOR #1
Moondrop METEOR variant 1

Moondrop METEOR

China flag

Moondrop’s METEOR pairs a vocal-forward, natural midrange with exceptionally smooth treble that remains detailed, extended, and fatigue-free. Giz Audio praises its realistic timbre, precise imaging, and long-session comfort, while Headfonics places it among the brand’s best-tuned tribrids. Clean, textured bass and a modular 3.5/4.4mm cable complete a refined listen for vocals and acoustic music.

Pros

Exceptionally smooth, extended treble with natural timbre and no harshness or sibilance.

Natural, balanced mids give vocals convincing weight and forward presence without sounding shouty or edgy.

Lightweight shells can be highly comfortable for extended listening sessions.

Cons

Bass is clean and textured but restrained in impact, rumble, and physical slam.

Fit stability may be less secure than some similarly shaped Moondrop models, and the shell may require an adjustment period.

What Reviewers Are Saying

"Frankly guys this is one of the best and smoothest treble I've ever heard in around this price range or even higher."

— Giz Audio

SOUND QUALITY PERFORMANCE 87/100

The Meteor is widely praised for its natural, clean, vocal-focused tonality and exceptionally smooth treble. Its main sonic trade-off is bass impact: it is textured and deep when present, but deliberately light in quantity, while opinions on technical separation range from excellent to merely adequate.

Bass

82/100

Giz Audio finds the bass deep, textured, clean, and well defined, including in the sub-bass, but repeatedly describes its rumble and physical impact as very restrained. Super* Review similarly finds it somewhat undefined, so listeners seeking substantial punch or weight may find it too polite.

Midrange

91/100

Reviewers describe a natural, balanced midrange with convincing note weight, correct instrumental tone, and front-and-center vocals. The vocal presentation is forward without becoming sharp, edgy, thin, or shouty.

Treble

94/100

Treble is the Meteor's most consistently celebrated strength. Giz Audio calls it class-leading, exceptionally smooth, realistic, extended, and among the best heard around or above this price, while Super* Review also praises its timbre and lack of sibilance or sharpness.

Resolution Separation

86/100

Giz Audio hears good detail retrieval and excellent separation from the Meteor. Super* Review is less impressed, calling separation, layering, definition, and imaging lackluster, so performance in dense arrangements may not satisfy every listener at this price.

Soundstage Imaging

85/100

Giz Audio finds the stage slightly above average and praises precise, convincing left-right spatial cues. Super* Review is more reserved about imaging and layering, suggesting that spatial performance is competent rather than universally outstanding.

Dynamics Coherence

80/100

The reviews describe a smooth, clean, natural overall presentation, but offer little direct discussion of macro-dynamic impact, transient punch, or crossover integration. Its restrained bass quantity also suggests a more composed than forceful presentation.

FIT COMFORT ISOLATION PERFORMANCE 86/100

Fit is generally stable and comfort can be excellent once the shells settle into the ear, although some listeners may need an adjustment period. The supplied reviews do not provide a meaningful real-world comparison of passive noise blocking.

Seal Stability

84/100

Super* Review considers fit stability generally decent, though not quite as secure as the Blessing 3 or DUSK. Headfonics also identifies possible fit issues as a caveat, so prospective buyers should take care with tip selection and insertion.

Comfort

90/100

Giz Audio reports wearing the Meteor for hours with no discomfort and considers it highly comfortable. Super* Review notes that the fit may take some getting used to, but does not describe sustained discomfort.

Isolation

82/100

The reviews provide no direct, useful comparison of the Meteor's passive isolation in everyday environments. Its vented shell is noted in the build discussion, but the available commentary does not establish how much outside noise it blocks in practice.

Assessments of Build Quality, Usability, and Overall Propositions.

Build Accessories

89/100

Reviewers praise the lightweight, smooth, semi-translucent shell and its handsome lacquered or glass-like appearance. The package includes a practical semi-hard zip case and soft ear tips, which Giz Audio considers solid and useful rather than extravagantly appointed.

Value for Money

87/100

At roughly $550–$605, Giz Audio considers the Meteor competitive with clear standout qualities, particularly its treble and midrange tuning. Super* Review is more measured with a three-out-of-five rating, indicating that its low-impact bass and disputed technical performance make it a more selective recommendation than an automatic class leader.
