Meet the Moondrop EDGE
We’re excited to announce the release of the Moondrop EDGE—a full-sized headphone with active noise cancellation (ANC) that’s perfect for the day-to-day rigors of commuting and office work. It folds away neatly for travel, offers a large 40 mm dynamic driver, and Moondrop’s natural-sounding VDSF tuning.
A Daily Companion
Keep your edge at work and play: the EDGE was created for busy schedules. The lightweight build fits comfortably on your head, and an aluminum alloy hinge allows for quick folding when you need to slip it into a bag. Oblique contoured ear pads—filled with memory foam—maintain a stable acoustic seal for bass you can feel.
VDSF for Natural Timbre
During development, engineers used the Bruel & Kjaer (B&K) 5128 measurement system to refine a frequency response characteristic known as VDSF. This response was chosen to replicate how sound naturally behaves around the human ear. It preserves details in higher frequencies without overshadowing the midrange or low end.
Reliable Wireless with Extended Range
LDAC (a high-resolution wireless audio codec) supports higher data transmission rates and preserves subtle sonic textures. Bluetooth 5.4 helps keep the signal stable in various environments, with an onboard antenna that can maintain connections in open spaces up to about 164 ft (50 m). This lets you move freely around larger rooms without repeatedly losing your signal.
Hybrid ANC for Peaceful Listening
The hybrid ANC system uses four microphones—two per earcup—to track and reduce ambient noise. It helps manage daily interruptions, whether you need a quieter commute or a more focused office session. A pass-through mode can be toggled by pressing the ANC button, which is useful if you need to switch your attention to a conversation or a quick announcement.
Battery Life for Extended Sessions
The EDGE has a large-capacity battery. It runs long enough for work hours plus some evening entertainment. Fast charging means about five minutes on the charger can provide up to four hours of listening—great for when you’re running late.
A Foldable Design for Travel
Durability and portability were central to the design. The aluminum alloy hinge rotates smoothly, and the headphones fold into a compact shape. They slip easily into a backpack, leaving enough room for the rest of your essentials.
Five Tunings for Personalization
You can tailor the sound through five built-in tunings, accessed in the Moondrop app. Each profile reflects a different tonal signature, which can be shifted depending on your preferences or style of music. When you want to revert to the default calibration, a quick adjustment in the app sets everything back to standard.
