Reviewers largely agree that the Moondrop METEOR delivers exceptional, smooth treble from its planar tweeters and a comfortable fit despite its tall shell, with most praising its natural midrange and build quality.
7:45The reviewer considers the Moondrop Meteor a worthy successor to the Variations, praising its smooth treble from the planar tweeters and comfortable fit despite the tall shell. However, they find the bass lacking in impact and satisfaction, which prevents it from being a daily driver for them, though overall it's a well-executed refinement of the tuning meta.
26:00The reviewer finds the Moondrop Meteor to be an objectively impressive IEM with strong technical performance, but notes that its accessories and fit stability fall short of the $500 price point, and the overall experience is somewhat mixed due to these compromises.
12:00The reviewer finds the Moondrop Meteor to be a comfortable and well-built tribrid IEM with exceptional, class-leading treble that is smooth and non-fatiguing, and a natural, vocal-forward midrange. However, the bass is notably light in quantity and impact, which may disappoint those seeking a punchy low end, though its quality is excellent. Overall, it's recommended for treble-sensitive listeners and vocal-focused tunings, but not for bassheads.
9:00The reviewer finds the Moondrop METEOR to be a natural-sounding, neutral IEM with clean vocals, but considers it overpriced at $500, lacking the technical performance and bass impact of competitors. They see it as a sidegrade to the Dusk rather than an upgrade, and recommend cheaper alternatives like the EPZ P50 or a tuned Variations instead.
4:22The reviewer considers the Moondrop METEOR their personal endgame earphone, praising its unique meteorite build, aesthetic, and a sound signature that is technical yet smooth with elastic bass and slightly unbounded imaging. The only criticism is its large size, though it remains comfortable. Overall, it is a highly positive review.
