The graph looks great for my taste. And by the way, is everyone at Moondrop under 25? Looks like a young crew.
If the THD is as low as advertised one could always EQ the bass in if required.
Yes, that looks like a very young company. I think that plays in their advantage.
Impressive to enter the market with all 3 types of headphones at the same time. Measurements, style and price look right, and time will tell about reliability.
Yes, I agree. It's impressive to develop these 3 in parallel.
I don't know about electrostatics, but the planar could well be good competition for Audeze (LCD-2?) and the dynamic for Sennheiser (HD560s?). But I think it will be difficult for the planar to compete with Hifiman (mainly the Sundara) and the dynamic with Sennheisers HD560s at this price point.
Prints from the video. If you look closely, Venus (the planar) has the least amount of distortion and follows closer to the red target curve, not only below 30Hz, but also resonances between 6 and 10 kHz.

Yes, the graphs look good, apart from the lacking sub-bass. But as I said, that could be fixed with EQ. I hoped they would have done that in the design, but apparently they don't believe the Harman bass shelve sounds pleasing to the majority (I think it does!). Their target doesn't show it, so I think the lack of sub-bass is intentional.
I find that a bit confusing since their IEMs do have a small bass shelve and are regarded as very well tuned. They should know that it is desirable for most customers.
I just don't think these are much of an improvement over what is already available from other companies at similar (or lower) prices.
The design of the planar looks a bit more high-end than most Hifimans, so maybe we would best compare them to Audeze. And there they do have the price advantage. (if the performance is as good as they claim)
I'm wondering where the swivel mechanism is for these headphones' yokes... please tell me they have one, don't they :/ ?
I'm afraid they have overlooked that detail.
