Moondrop Para 2 100mm Planar Magnetic Full-Size Headphone (Apos Certified)
Full-size open-back planar headphones with patented drive technology The Moondrop Para 2 was designed for high-resolution detail, low distortion, and a soundstage that feels effortless and open. Featuring a massive 100mm ultra-thin diaphragm, Moondrop’s patented Full Drive Technology (FDT), and an industrial Bauhaus-inspired design, it delivers clear, balanced, and lifelike audio. Lightweight yet robust, with premium materials, magnetic earpads, and a high-purity balanced cable, the Para 2 offers both technical performance and long-wearing comfort for serious music lovers. Full drive, full detail At the heart of the Para 2 is Moondrop’s patented Full Drive Technology. Unlike traditional planar headphones, which only partially drive the diaphragm, FDT applies a uniform magnetic field and drive circuit across the entire 100mm surface. This eliminates split vibrations, sharpens treble detail, and brings the performance closer to what you’d expect from electrostatic headphones. A diaphragm that's heard, not seen The Para 2’s diaphragm is just 1.2μm (0.0012mm) thick. That’s thinner than a strand of spider silk. Combined with a pure silver etched circuit and Tension Balancing Technology (TBT), it responds instantly, handles dynamic swings cleanly, and reproduces microdetail with impressive accuracy. Optimized magnetic field An array of 36 N52 neodymium strip magnets blankets the diaphragm in a consistent magnetic field. This optimized field ensures the entire surface is driven evenly, which reduces distortion and improves clarity. It also enables the headphone to maintain low impedance (9Ω ±15%) and high sensitivity (106dB/Vrms), so it sounds great even with modest amplification. Built light, built tough The Para 2’s integrated driver cavity combines stainless steel, industrial-grade plastic, and brushed finishes in a compact, lightweight frame. It retains the structural integrity to handle the powerful magnetic system while being easy to wear for long listening sessions. Tuned for real music Moondrop’s VDSF tuning provides a natural, open soundstage with smooth wide-band response. Treble extends gracefully, bass remains controlled and deep, and distortion stays under 0.03% at 1kHz, keeping your music clean even at higher volumes. Cables and earpads that just work The Para 2 uses dual 3.5mm connectors with a slight angle for easy swapping. Included is a 4.4mm balanced cable made of 6N purity single crystal copper in a quad-core configuration, designed to reduce interference and preserve signal quality. The sheepskin earpads are soft, resistant to wear, and attach magnetically for quick changes.
