#40 Moondrop Para Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Moondrop Para 2, ranked lower, rated 3.9/5, released 2025. See every Moondrop Para generation.
Pros: Measured response gives it an excellent Harman preference score of 87 with a 1.75 dB spread, and its mids sit within about 1 dB of target, so vocals and instruments sound natural. Upper treble lifts about 4.2 dB for extra air and sparkle. It uses 1 x 100mm planar magnetic.
Cons: Discontinued, so it is mainly found used. A 4.6 dB peak near 11.9 kHz can make cymbals and sibilance sound sharp. Sub-bass is 7.6 dB short at 30 Hz, so deep bass lacks rumble.
