MOONDROP's Blessing2 (and Blessing2:Dusk) IEMs get credited for being a benchmark in the world of in-ear monitors at the $300 price point, having re-defined expectations and besting far more expensive products when it comes to technical and tuning performances. A successor has been hotly anticipated thus and now we have the all-new Blessing 3 coming in at the same $320 price point. It uses a 2 DD/4 BA hybrid driver configuration paired with a see-through resin shell that has greatly improved comfort owing to a smaller shell and nozzle—thus addressing the biggest issue with the Blessing2—and a polished stainless steel nozzle on top. The Blessing 3 uses MOONDROP's VDSF tuning to put forth a neutral/bright tuning that we'll examine in more detail in an upcoming review, but those who can't wait can purchase the product from retailers such as HiFiGo right now.

Releasing alongside is a Bluetooth neckband accessory called LittleWhite. It uses a Cirrus Logic CS4131 DAC and has digital signal processing support integrated with a first-party app to allow for specific MOONDROP wired IEMs to have EQ profiles generated so they all get tuned similarly to hit the desired target easier. This can help significantly as seen in our recent coverage of the MOONDROP Quarks DSP, and MOONDROP promises high quality Bluetooth audio with a long battery life (~12 hours). The LittleWhite supports Bluetooth 5.2 with codecs including aptX and LHDC courtesy the Qualcomm QCC5144 SoC, has integrated microphones for calls, and the app provides parametric EQ support for other IEMs you wish to use wirelessly too. It sells for $89.99 from retailers including HiFiGo for those interested.

Moondrop Alice is a newly-developed ground-breaking TWS set of earphones that optimizes the driver performance, SoC output, and DSP filter adjustment to ensure the highest-quality audio performance possible from a TWS earphone. Moondrop is referring it as their flagship pair of wireless TWS earphones that are designed to deliver a true flagship-grade audio performance. Alice adopts a ULT super linear dynamic driver with a third-generation diamond-like composite diaphragm coil. The pair has been tuned based on Moondrop's famous "VDSF" Target response. It has 10 different tuning profiles, professional parametric equalizer settings, and many more advanced features for a flagship-like premium experience with the set. Moondrop Alice is launched officially for $189.99, you can check out more information on our store page here.

Moondrop has equipped Alice with Qualcomm's latest QCC5151 Bluetooth chipset. It brings high-res aptX Adaptive high-bitrate wireless transmission protocol. This brings the latest Bluetooth connectivity with a stable, lag-free connection to the source devices. QCC5151 also supports built-in DSP profiles for easy tuning profiles for the users. ALICE is designed using the same ULT (Ultra-Linear)Dynamic Driver unit that they have previously featured on their flagship Kato IEMs. It's a custom-designed dynamic driver with efficient internal and external magnetic circuits, a more linear airflow structure, a large internal acoustic cavity, a high-frequency phase waveguide system, and an ultra-fine imported CCAW Voice coil. This driver uses a high-quality DLC (diamond-like carbon) composite diaphragm for unmatched sound performance.

Moondrop joins the Planar bandwagon today with the launch of their highly-anticipated Stellaris Planar Magnetic Driver IEMs. Moondrop isn't bound for any introduction among Audiophiles. The brand has been hyper-active in the industry with its class-leading range of in-ear monitors. They cover different price segments and have always been on the front with their classic approach with single Dynamic and multi-driver hybrid driver configurations. Moondrop is also known for its exclusive designer looks for its in-ear monitors. Today, they join the league of planar magnetic driver IEMs with the all-new Stellaris.

Stellaris features a newly-developed 14.5 mm planar magnetic driver. It utilizes a sub-nanometer diaphragm with a thickness of just 1um. The diaphragm has been stretched tightly on the bracket for uniform tension. This driver has been designed in collaboration with Tuoyin Electronics Pvt. Ltd. which is the first manufacturer in China to develop Planar drivers for in-ear monitors. Bringing together their expertise in Planar Drivers and Moondrop's exquisite acoustic cavity structure design, Stellaris provides exceptional performance with unmatched clarity and low distortion in the output signal.

The MOONDROP Aria has been a highly successful set of IEMs from the brand. It also got some special limited edition variants too. Today, MOONDROP Aria gets a new variant, presenting you the Moondrop Aria Snow Edition. As the name suggests, Aria gets a complete design overhaul with a brand new CNC milled metal gold casing that now has a visually appealing Snowflake theme design. The biggest change with the MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition is an update on its driver, the OG Aria utilized a 10 mm dynamic driver with LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) diaphragm, MOONDROP has replaced that LCP diaphragm with high-quality DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) composite diaphragm as found in their famous Kanas Pro IEMs. With this new diaphragm, the Aria Snow Edition uses the same dual-cavity body structure as the OG Aria. This new DLC diaphragm enables the Aria to deliver high-quality details with a pure, clear, natural timbre. MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition is launched officially for the same price as the OG model, $79.99.

Apart from the sound tuning, MOONDROP has a good name in the industry for impressive craftsmanship. It is evident with the latest Aria Snow Edition too. The pair features CNC machined metallic ear cavities with an impressive snow-flake design. The pair looks simply appealing, pretty sure you are gonna love wearing them around your friends. MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition comes with a bunch of high-quality accessories including the MOONDROP Spring Tips and a high-purity cable. The pair adopts a high-purity 6N OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) Silver-Plated cable with standard 2-pin 0.78 mm connectors and 3.5 mm termination. There is no price update with the MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition, the pair is available to purchase at the same price as the OG Aria, @79.99. Feel free to check out more details here.

After a successful launch of its MOONRIVER 2 portable DAC/amplifier (review coming up on TechPowerUp), MOONDROP announced a cut-down version using the same dual Cirrus Logic CS43131 DAC chips and dual crystal oscillators, but in a dongle form factor. Making the DAWN quite novel in the dongle market is the output adopting a 4.4 mm balanced TRRS connector rather than the usual 3.5 mm audio jack, meaning you will have to get adapters or go with headphones/earphones that use 4.4 mm cables. In return, this fully balanced connection provides some truly excellent and independently verified metrics including an SNR of 132 dB and THD+N 0.00017% with up to 4 Vrms output in high gain that translates to an output power of 230 mW@32 Ω and 54 mW@300 Ω to easily drive the vast majority of consumer headphones even, let alone earphones/IEMs. The MOONDROP DAWN with its aluminium alloy shell weighs under 14 g, measures 120 x 16.4 mm, can decode PCM playback up to 32-bit/768 kHz and native DSD256, and costs $70 from the likes of HiFiGo and SHENZHENAUDIO for those interested.
