To mark its 10th anniversary, Moondrop has introduced a new pinnacle in its lineup of flat-head in-ear headphones: the Moondrop Pavane. This flagship release brings together refined engineering, high-end materials, and a design philosophy rooted in delivering a truly immersive audio experience.
At the heart of the Pavane is a large 13.5mm dynamic driver, housed in polished, high-grade stainless steel ear tips. It’s more than just a stylish shell—the driver is paired with a robust N55 magnet system, a first for flat-head in-ear headphones, aiming to produce sound that’s not only powerful but exceptionally detailed. The diaphragm features Moondrop’s third-generation DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) dome and a composite structure, refined through extensive Finite Element Analysis (FEA) modeling. This process allows engineers to optimize the vibration characteristics for crystal-clear fidelity and dynamic range.

The Pavane carries forward Moondrop’s legacy in flat-head earphones, following in the footsteps of the Liebeslied (2017) and Chaconne (2019), both of which were praised for their sound quality and build. While it shares the industrial-grade design DNA of the Liebeslied, the Pavane moves away from brass in favor of stainless steel, ensuring durability without compromising on elegance. The result is a blend of vintage inspiration and modern craftsmanship.

To preserve signal integrity and consistency in audio performance, the Pavane features a non-detachable cable made from single-crystal copper coated in pure silver. The cable comes with interchangeable plugs, including a standard 3.5mm unbalanced jack and a balanced 4.4mm Pentaconn connector, offering versatility for different listening setups.

Moondrop’s Pavane is now available for $379.99, catering to audiophiles looking for a flagship-level listening experience in a flat-head form factor. With its cutting-edge acoustic engineering and timeless design, the Pavane stands as a testament to Moondrop’s decade-long pursuit of sonic perfection.
