Moondrop is a staple name in the world of audio, and whenever they drop their new offering, it’s surely some NEWS! And we just got some news — with sapphire-coated drivers. This article will discuss the new Moondrop earbuds i.e. Ultrasonic in further detail including its price in Nepal.
Moondrop Ultrasonic Overview
Audio
The main highlight of any earbuds is surely its audio, and when talking of Moondrop, ain’t no way that’s not the case. The Moondrop Ultrasonic comes with some interesting engineering choices to offer top-tier sound quality. Firstly, it uses an FRA lithium-magnesium alloy diaphragm-balanced armature tweeter to handle high-frequency sound waves. As per the company, this material is better than the commonly used pure beryllium due to its low density, better-damping characteristics, and rigidity.
Additionally, the Moondrop Ultrasonic has 13mm full-frequency dynamic drivers with sapphire-coated domes. It apparently helps handle the bass/mid-range and enhances sound reproduction in the relevant frequency bands. Furthermore, these earbuds are equipped with LDAC and LC3 codecs, on top of the standard AAC and SBC. The former is pretty much a golden standard for audio codecs and offers high-definition lossless audio with 24-bit/96kHz processing at bit rates as high as 990kbps. Meanwhile, the LC3 focuses on lower latency, power efficiency, and high-fidelity signal transmission. It is better suited for preserving the quality of calls and human speech.
Features and Battery
While the Moondrop Ultrasonic is loaded to offer you a great listening experience, it is stacked with additional features too. First off, these earbuds offer noise cancellation with transparency mode. They have ditched the hybrid feedforward-feedback method which can hamper the bass output. Instead, they have chosen a single feedforward solution that is difficult to adjust. But they pulled it off thanks to repeated tuning and adjustments, and a new 22nm flagship SoC. This chipset also offers latency as low as 55ms during gaming. They rely on Bluetooth v5.3 to maintain connectivity with your smartphone or other devices.
One can use the Moondrop Ultrasonic in monaural or binaural modes. In other words, they work fine regardless of whether a single bud or both buds are being used at the same time. Users can access further functionalities and customisation through the MOONDROP Link 2.0 app. With all this, these earbuds can last up to 6 hours on their own, and go for another 18 hours with the case. If you want the numbers, the buds have a 37mAh battery on each side, and a 380mAh unit in the case.

Design
Despite of being audio-centric and feature-rich, these earbuds do not forget to look good. They look pretty much the same as the Moondrop Space Travel but with grey and red shades. The Moondrop Ultrasonic come in an in-ear fitting with black silicone tips. Their stems are cuboid which helps them stand apart from the crowd.
These earbuds vertically slip into either side of the charging case, which does not have a lid. It is also transparent, which adds to the overall personality of the Moondrop Ultrasonic. If you are worried about the buds slipping off and you losing it, worry not! You get a protective case bundled in the package. This case comes in a darker shade of grey with red red-tinted lid. It has a push-button on the front that pops open the cover of the case for you to access the earbuds. All in all, everything looks pretty cool! 😎
