Moondrop METEOR Tribrid IEMs Review

The Moondrop METEOR is, per the page, a seven-driver tribrid IEM: a 13mm dynamic driver, two balanced armatures and four planar drivers on each side, in a three-way crossover. HiFiGO lists it at $549.99. The page gives 18.5Ω±15%, 120dB/Vrms and a 9Hz-35kHz range with an effective 20Hz-20kHz, and the detachable cable uses 2-pin 0.78mm connectors with interchangeable plugs.

Specifications

Options and pricing

One option is listed, named METEOR, at $549.99 and orderable when the page was read. The page says the package includes a 3.5mm and a 4.4mm plug for the interchangeable termination system, with a mixed copper and silver-plated Litz braided cable on 2-pin 0.78mm connectors. The page text gives no cable length, weight or carrying case.

How it compares

The DUNU DK3001BD is $499.99 against $549.99 here, and its name counts 1DD+4BA+4Micro Planar drivers where the METEOR counts 1DD+2BA+4 planar. The Moondrop Variations is another Moondrop tribrid at $599, with 2EST+2BA+1DD in its name and a 10mm LCP diaphragm dynamic driver in its spec line. The Open Audio MERCURY is $527.12 and lists a 9.2mm PU soft suspending dynamic driver. Choose the METEOR for a planar-driver mix with both plug sizes listed; the others suit different driver mixes.

Shipping, returns and warranty

HiFiGO sells from hifigo.com and says every order leaves its warehouse in China, usually 1-3 business days after it is placed, and says its delivery times are estimates, not promises. Its shipping policy gives the United States 1-2 weeks (about 10 days on average) by Priority and 6-10 days by Premium, both with duties and taxes prepaid by the store; Canada 2-3 weeks; the United Kingdom 1-2 weeks; and Australia 10-15 days. Express couriers (DHL, UPS, FedEx) take 3-7 days, but then the buyer pays any duties and taxes. No shipping page names New Zealand, PO boxes are not accepted, and the free-shipping thresholds differ between the store's own pages, so check the cart. One of its two shipping pages adds that a lost parcel on an order above $50 gets only a 50% refund. A US buyer reported a $40 tariff charge in August 2025, after which HiFiGO said it had added a customs notice at checkout.

Read the return terms before you order. The homepage advertises 7-day returns. Both of HiFiGO's policy pages offer a 7-day dead-on-arrival cover (a replacement or a full refund, with the return postage refunded) and also describe 30-day returns, but a request made 7 to 30 days after delivery loses 30% of the MSRP as a restocking fee (10% more if the packaging is incomplete), plus shipping both ways and duties, and the FAQ on the same pages says there is no refund or exchange once 7 days have passed. One version recommends reselling an opened product locally. Custom IEMs and custom cables cannot be returned, no return address is published, and buyers describe sending items back to China.

HiFiGO's warranty runs one year from the order date for parts and labor; its policy names desktop DACs and amps, IEMs and dongles at one year and gives cables and adapters three months. HiFiGO decides between repair and replacement, the buyer pays the shipping, and faulty items go back for service, not for a refund. Claims go to [email protected], the only contact the store lists: its pages name no company, street address or phone, and its terms are governed by the laws of China.

On Trustpilot, HiFiGO had 4.6 out of 5 from 378 reviews when we checked on 2026-10-28 (91% five-star, 5% one-star), and it had replied to about 75% of negative reviews; Trustpilot notes the store has not invited customers to review recently. The one-star reviews mostly concern the short return window and the deductions on returns, items listed in stock that turned out back-ordered, slow email support and a tariff charge on a US delivery in 2025. HiFiGO says its products are genuine and come in the brands' retail packaging; it does not claim to be an authorized dealer.
