Innovative driver + customizable sound profiles 

Introducing the MOONDROP Kadenz—a flagship 10mm in-ear earphone crafted for those who demand exceptional audio fidelity and personalized comfort. Featuring a groundbreaking TAC diamond-coated dome composite diaphragm and a second-generation super-linear dynamic driver, the Kadenz delivers rich detail and powerful dynamics across all frequencies. With interchangeable nozzles and a refined acoustic design, it adapts to your unique ear structure.

Innovative diaphragm delivers rich detail

At the heart of the Kadenz is the TAC diamond-coated dome composite diaphragm. By layering an artificial diamond coating over a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) substrate, it achieves exceptional rigidity and balanced damping. This advanced design enhances treble extension and detail retrieval, allowing you to hear nuances in your music that might have been missed before.

Engineered for powerful dynamics

The Kadenz employs a second-generation patented super-linear dynamic driver, refined over nearly two years of design and testing. Using finite element analysis (FEA) and topology optimization, MOONDROP created an irregular magnetic circuit with pressure balance channels. This innovative approach reduces distortion and enhances dynamic range, providing a more engaging listening experience.

Tailored nozzles for personalized sound

Understanding that every ear is unique, the Kadenz includes three interchangeable nozzles with different physical specifications. This allows you to select the nozzle that best matches your ear canal, ensuring optimal treble coupling and a higher quality listening experience.

Redesigned internals for balanced audio

To accommodate the new driver, MOONDROP adjusted the internal cavity structure through simulations and testing. After extensive refinement, they've achieved an acoustic cavity that delivers a more balanced and natural sound across all frequencies.

Premium cable for versatile connectivity

The Kadenz comes with a high-quality single-crystal copper silver-plated Litz cable, enhancing signal transmission for better sound quality. Equipped with both 3.5mm single-ended and 4.4mm balanced replaceable plugs, it easily connects to a variety of playback devices.

Advanced filter keeps sound clear

The nozzle features a third-generation patented anti-blocking acoustic filter, designed to reduce earwax build-up and maintain performance in the mid-high frequencies. This means cleaner sound over extended use without frequent maintenance.

Flexible connectivity with 2-pin design

Using a gold-plated 0.78mm 2-pin connector with a recessed socket, the Kadenz ensures durability and compatibility with a wide range of aftermarket cables. This design protects the pins from strain and allows you to customize your listening experience further.

Modern design with elegant details

Inspired by modernist aesthetics, the Kadenz features a stainless steel shell crafted using MIM powder metallurgy. The hand-polished outer shell undergoes high-purpose sandblasting for a matte finish with an elegant texture, enhancing both appearance and wear resistance.

Enhanced audio with included DAC cable

For an even better listening experience, the Kadenz includes the ECHO-B USB-C decoding cable. Capable of decoding 32-bit/384kHz high-resolution PCM audio sources, it offers a 4.4mm fully balanced output to drive the Kadenz effectively.
