This page lists all 3 Moondrop speakers ranked on this site across passive speakers and headphones. Each model is shown in the category where it competes, with its current rank and the size of that ranking.
Use the category position rather than the brand name alone: speakers from the same manufacturer can perform very differently by size, price and product family.

Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers
Ranked #14 of 168 in Medium Size Bookshelf Speakers - Moondrop M4P MTM: $920 per pair Shenzhen Audio eBay
Pros: MTM (mid-tweeter-mid) two-way layout with dual 4” carbon-cone woofers flanking a 1” aluminum-magnesium dome tweeter, crossed over at 1.8kHz. Wide horizontal radiation of about ±60° through the midrange and still around ±50° near the tweeter, giving an expansive, enveloping soundstage on well-recorded stereo material. Noticeable mid-bass “thump” around 100-160Hz that adds a sense of punch and kick-drum impact, more pronounced than the reviewer’s Audiofirst Fidelia reference. Rolled-off, laid-back treble (roughly 1-2dB below linear) rather than the 2-5dB high-frequency boost common on speakers marketed as “detailed”: a plus for listeners who find brighter speakers fatiguing. Tonal balance stays consistent whether pointed straight on or toed out about 30°, so side-to-side seating position doesn’t change the sound much. At $920/pair in a compact monitor cabinet (13-14 lbs), reasonably priced for the format. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-3dB), with a measured sensitivity of 85dB.
Cons: Vertical placement is very fussy: staying within about ±20° of the tweeter axis is essential, because the two woofers cancel each other through the crossover region (classic MTM lobing). Sit above or below that window and the upper midrange loses clarity and detail. SPL-limited: noticeable compression showed up both subjectively (thinner-sounding transients at 80-85dB/10 feet) and in measurements, with roughly 1.5dB of dynamic-range loss and about 3dB of added distortion under instantaneous compression testing. Harmonic distortion jumps substantially at 96dB versus 86dB (mostly second-order, so less audible than it looks on paper), and multitone distortion rides right at the reviewer’s 3% threshold at full output. Low impedance (3.7-ohm minimum, 1.7-ohm minimum EPDR) means a Class AB amp may run hot over longer sessions; a Class D amp is recommended for better thermal headroom. Designed primarily for nearfield use (about 1 meter); farfield listening is more of a gamble since dynamic range drops off noticeably at distance. Slight sibilance and a mild upper-midrange dip give a touch of a recessed, warm character alongside the bass emphasis. Bass reaches only about 50-60Hz in-room, and not with much volume before running into the SPL limits noted above.

In-Ear Headphones
Ranked #8 of 68 in In-Ear Headphones - Moondrop Blessing 3: $359.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A Harman score of 79 in crinacle’s measurement shows a tuning that lands close to what most listeners prefer, with a slightly bright tilt. Six drivers, two dynamic and four balanced armature, handle bass and treble separately. The 14.8 ohm impedance and 120 dB per volt sensitivity let a phone drive it comfortably. It rates the same as the Etymotic EVO and higher than the AUNE Jasper.
Cons: It costs noticeably more than the Etymotic EVO, which has an equal rating, so the extra money does not buy a better score. The AKG N5005 rates higher still, with a better Harman score. Wired only, with no microphone listed.

Ranked #14 of 68 in In-Ear Headphones - Moondrop Quarks: $17.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 76 from a very inexpensive wired in-ear is hard to beat, and it is rated above the KZ ZSN Pro X and the CCA CRA. Bass from 60 to 200 Hz is lifted about 2.2 dB over target and the low mids about 1.6 dB, giving a warm, full sound that fits warm and bass leaning tastes. At 16 ohms and 116 dB sensitivity it plays loud straight from a phone.
Cons: A 4 dB peak near 2.9 kHz can make female vocals and snare hits sound forward or slightly shouty at higher volumes. Air above 10 kHz is about 2.5 dB low and there is a 5.4 dB dip near 11.9 kHz, so the top end sounds less open and airy. Sub-bass under 60 Hz is about 1.8 dB below target, so the deepest notes lack a little rumble.
