An engaging, punchy, and fairly technical listen for ~$60 that runs a bit “spicy” up top but acceptable if you tolerate brightness (3/5).
Youtube Video Summary

The Moondrop Lan 2 Pop targets a more bassy, V-shaped tuning versus the REF, delivering a punchy low end with incisive transients and clear instrument separation for the ~$60 bracket. Treble energy is elevated around the 3–8 kHz region, adding excitement but also pushing into spicy territory that can sound splashy or flirt with sibilance on some vocals. Technicalities are solid for the price—tight bass and good imaging—yet overall brightness keeps it from feeling relaxed.

Build is compact, all-metal, and flush-fitting, making it comfortable and sleep-friendly, though stability depends heavily on tip choice. Accessories are basic; the cable is light and well-behaved but ships only with a 4.4 mm termination plus a short 3.5 mm adapter, a compromise that may annoy those who prefer straight 3.5 mm. Compared with peers, it’s tighter and more energetic than Chu 2, more contrasted than Zero Red, and more refined than 7Hz Zero 2—while also a bit brighter than ideal.

Net take: an engaging single-DD with lively dynamics and crisp separation that suits listeners who enjoy a bit of heat; those sensitive to upper-mids/treble should consider alternatives or the Pop with careful pairing and tips. The final verdict given was 3/5 stars, reflecting good value and fun factor tempered by the elevated treble and overall brightness.

IMHO no one really needs anything more than this. Impecable tuning. Techs are competitive with anything under $100. Only true knock I have against this is that the nozzle is pretty bad - long and thick, which may be a problem for some. It certainly makes putting eartips on them very difficult.

The Moondrop LAN 2 Pop is a single-dynamic IEM built around a 10 mm dual-cavity driver in a stainless-steel (MIM) shell. Retailers list identical hardware to the Ref version—30 Ω impedance, ~118 dB/V sensitivity, and a 4.4 mm balanced termination—so differences come down to tuning rather than components. Street pricing hovers at $59.99, positioning it as a budget set with a feature-forward cable package for the bracket.

Tonally, the Pop variant elevates mid-bass and pushes vocals forward for contemporary genres, trading some upper-treble air for energy and body; by contrast, the Ref aims for leaner, clearer mids and openness. Expect engaging punch and fuller male/female vocals, while treble stays safe and non-spiky—good for fatigue control but less crisp than neutral targets. Relative to price peers, technicalities are competent (imaging precision and micro-detail are average; stage width is modest but coherent).

Build and spec execution are strong for the cost: the MIM steel shells feel robust, isolation is typical of a sealed DD, and the included cable terminating in 4.4 mm is uncommon at this price. The voicing is deliberately U-shaped/vocal-centric, making Pop a sensible pick for listeners prioritizing bass punch and presence over ultimate treble air or expansive staging. Overall value is high if preferences align with its tuning, while studio-leaning users should consider the Ref instead.
