Optoma NuForce and Drop Announce Drop + NuForce MOVE True Wireless IEMs

Optoma NuForce, a world-leading manufacturer of audio products, today announced a new collaboration with Drop, the innovative company that uses signals from passionate people to design products, in the creation and development of the Drop + NuForce MOVE true wireless IEMs (in-ear monitors). The collaboration follows the launch of the Massdrop x NuForce STRIDE Bluetooth IEMs in January 2019 and is the first launch of audiophile IEMs under Massdrop's recently rebranded name, Drop. 

When designing the MOVE IEMs, NuForce leveraged third party analysis of 3D scans of over 1,000 ears to optimally design the most secure and comfortable IEMs. Their sleek all-black enclosures are ergonomically designed with weight balance closer to a user's ear, resulting in a more reliable fit. Featuring Knowles Balanced Armature Drivers, the MOVE IEMs deliver remarkable clarity and full-range sound, seldom heard on truly wireless or traditional wireless neckband earphones.

The MOVE IEMs utilize Bluetooth 5.0 technology, as well as the latest AAC audio codec support to provide superior sound quality and low latency with iOS, Mac OS and Android Oreo devices. With the ability to decode AAC files natively without any unnecessary format conversions, the MOVE IEMs deliver better sound quality with AAC sources like Apple Music and YouTube. Conveniently located earpiece buttons easily control media playback and initiate virtual assistants such as Siri or Google Assistant.

Along with up to six hours of battery life from the MOVE IEMs, the charging case provides three extra charges for 18 additional hours of listening and calls. If you're short on time, the MOVE IEMs also offer quick-charge technology to give an extra hour of listening after a 15-minute charge. An LED light indicates the case's battery capacity and charging status, and the case and IEMs are easily rechargeable with a USB-C charger.
