Chinese Brands - IEMs Discussion

Moondrop Kanas Pro Review [image] Introduction Moondrop’s collection of headphones have similar traits. They have a specific target curve they came up that lies somewhere between the Harman Target Curve and the Diffuse Field Targets, but with an upper end energy above 10KHz.

Run single-ended out of the N5iiS does require a pretty severe adjustment period in comparison to even the Tin T2 Pro, it seems. Granted, I’ve tape-modded the T2Ps, but the KP sit much closer to what I’ll call a “Harman-neutral” signature. Where I get a better sense of punch and dynamics out of the T2P, the KP pr…
