Moondrop quarks is an excellent iem for it's price. Delivery was quick, thanks HPZ much appreciated.

Moondrop never disappoints, this one is an entry level iem and it's ideal for someone who likes small driver setup, compact design, lightweight and easy on the ear iem's. Sound clarity is awesome and it will be better if you pair it with a dac amp as the output is slightly less. Overall this is a nice product for the cost and can add this to the collection.

Hey Swaminathan, thanks a lot for this lovely review and we are glad you are enjoying it! Keep the music playing.

The Treble SLAPS

If you know how to EQ your earphones to your tastes then you can't find a better deal, after EQing and using it with HeSuVi this has the fastest treble I have ever found! These are very light and comfortable, I could use them all day! Noise isolation is also very good.

DESCRIPTION

Moondrop Quarks earphones feature a unique fully enclosed front cavity design. This design implementation helps in reducing external noises and gives the user a high level of noise isolation. Due to this unique design, users will be able to listen and enjoy music undisturbed even in noisy places. This design also provides a comfortable fit to the users for longer listening sessions.

Moondrop Quarks earphone features a 6mm micro dynamic driver that is highly capable of sound reproduction. This driver benefits from an external N52 neodymium magnetic architecture, a high-quality polymer diaphragm coil, and an imported CCAW voice coil. This provides excellent dynamics and lowers nonlinear distortion. The drivers are specially designed and tuned for a neutral tone and are easy to drive. It reproduces a rich sound with balanced frequency response. These earphones are sure to suit your music with their high-resolution clarity.

The Moondrop Quarks earphones have been specifically tuned by experts at the company. The tuning adjustment took over two years to achieve their preferred sound signature - which is a neutral & natural sounding tuning following the Head Related Transfer Function (HRTF) frequency response curve. The earphones have a wide frequency response range of 4Hz-43kHz allowing you to enjoy music with clarity.

Moondrop Quarks earphones adopt the second generation patented anti-blocking sound damping structure in order to maintain high-resolution performance. This also helps in improving the durability of the earphones and reduces blockage caused in the nozzle area due to earwax buildup. Moondrop has designed a double-damping structure using two different materials with completely different acoustic resistance to filter different frequencies. This enhances the sound by greatly eliminating treble ringing and making the sound natural and enjoyable.

Moondrop Quarks earphones feature a unique structural design that is revealing. The shells of the earphones are fully transparent and are compact in size for a comfortable wearing experience. The transparent cavity allows for a clear view of the driver and acoustic structure. This is truly an exquisite and unique approach to earphone design.

SOUND

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.
