Drop + NuForce Move Wireless In-Ear Monitors

They’re here! The Drop + NuForce Move IEMs promise best-in-class connectivity and wireless performance. Each pair features True Wireless technology: the result of a year and a half of collaborative development and testing. Boasting a full-range sound, remarkable clarity, an IPX5 waterproof rating, and 24 hours of battery life with the included charging case, they’re a great option for running on the treadmill, commuting to work, and transitioning seamlessly between tasks at home.

Dropped connections are the number-one pain point for owners of wireless IEMs—so we’re making an infallible connection our number-one priority. This is no small task, and after lots of preparation and several rounds of prototyping, we’re still dialing in the wireless connectivity to get it as close to perfect as possible. Our proving ground: the BART ride between our San Francisco office and different parts of the East Bay, where many of us live. This train travels not only underground, but also underwater beneath the San Francisco Bay. With our first sample, we saw a whopping 35 disconnects during a commute about as many minutes long. After a year of testing and improving, we were almost ready to approve a sample when NuForce shared some unexpected news. It’s a game-changer: a prototype of the latest Bluetooth 5.0 chipset that has instantly brought connection drops down to zero during our test routes. This chipset makes a big difference, but it also comes with a big...

Our first three collaborations with NuForce brought you a single-driver IEM named The Absolute Sound’s 2017 Product of the Year, a celebrated triple-driver follow-up, and a Bluetooth IEM that made listening on the go more convenient than ever. For our fourth collaboration, we’re excited to introduce the Drop + NuForce Move. Why the name “Move”? Because this wireless IEM is made for absolute freedom—from cables, from distractions, and from annoying connection drops. We’re making no compromises: we want connectivity you can count on, a sound that brings the best out of your music, and a cleaner, more understated aesthetic than what’s currently out there. Simply put, we’re making an earphone that fits frictionlessly into your life. Stay tuned for updates along the way.
