Moondrop Kadenz In-Ear Headphones

Next-Level Audio Fidelity with Cutting-Edge Driver Technology
Immerse yourself in a superior listening experience with the Moondrop Kadenz In-Ear Headphones. Featuring the innovative ULT-Gen2 patented super-linear dynamic driver, Kadenz delivers extraordinary sound fidelity developed through meticulous engineering and rigorous testing. An irregular magnetic circuit optimized by FEA finite element simulation and topology techniques, coupled with pressure-balanced channels, ensures robust performance and dynamic accuracy across frequencies.
Groundbreaking Diamond-Coated Diaphragm for Enhanced Clarity
Kadenz employs an advanced TAC diamond-coated dome composite diaphragm crafted with a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) base, providing significantly enhanced rigidity and improved damping compared to traditional designs. The specialized diamond deposition process results in increased treble extension, richer detail retrieval, and dramatically reduced distortion, elevating your music listening experience beyond typical dynamic drivers.
Precisely Engineered Acoustic Structure for Optimal Balance
After extensive directional simulations, 3D prototype evaluations, and meticulous fine-tuning, Moondrop's engineers have perfected Kadenz’s internal acoustic cavity. This careful optimization produces a refined and balanced sound signature, seamlessly integrating with the capabilities of the advanced dynamic driver. The result is sound reproduction that faithfully captures the subtleties of your favorite tracks.
Innovative Interchangeable Nozzles for Customized Comfort
Kadenz features a sophisticated interchangeable nozzle design incorporating an improved third-generation anti-blocking filter to prevent earwax build-up, ensuring consistent high-frequency performance. Users can select from three distinct nozzles tailored to different ear canal structures, providing an ideal acoustic fit and superior comfort, personalized to each listener’s ear anatomy.
Exquisite Craftsmanship Meets Modernist Aesthetics
Drawing inspiration from Moondrop’s renowned KATO design, Kadenz embodies precision craftsmanship and modernist elegance. The shell, created through MlM powder metallurgy and meticulously hand-polished, features striking contrasts of texture and a matte finish, enhancing durability and aesthetic appeal. The internal granular surface structure effectively suppresses standing waves, contributing to cleaner, more precise audio output.
Versatile Connectivity with Premium Quality Cable Options
Kadenz incorporates a robust 0.78mm 2-pin connection with a recessed female socket, ensuring long-term durability and compatibility. Included is a premium single-crystal copper silver-plated Litz cable that supports interchangeable 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced plugs. The ECHO-B DSP cable further elevates your listening experience, delivering ultra-high-resolution audio decoding, exceptional clarity, and interactive online DSP tuning capability.
