Hey, great video! thanks a lot! i bought it now on 11/11 deal. but i have a question: i've seen conflicting reviews regarding the ANC. some reviewers say that the anc is the best of moondrop so far, and others say the golden ages are better. Is there a way to validate this with scientific proof? like measuring the amout of db that these earphones cancel out in the same cconditions? do you know if someone has done this or if its all just opinions? thanks!! ^^
Thanks. Moondrop measured the ANC performance of the Golden ages, Space travel, and Ultrasonic. I couldn’t find any dB reduction numbers for the MOCA, but in my experience, the Golden Ages blocks out slightly more noise. However, once you start playing music, even at the lowest volume, you can hardly hear anything around you, making them quite similar in that regard.
I have both, and I actually feel that the Moca are more comfortable than the Golden Age. In terms of sound, the Golden Age have a more defined sound and the noise cancellation is better. But if you ask me which one I would choose, I would choose the Moondrop Moca for the price and because it offers wireless charging and I find them more comfortable. Detail: The quality of the case is much lower than that of the Golden Age. You don't feel that in the headphones.
I am satisfied with the MOCA, but there is only one thing that I am slightly dissatisfied with, which is that I cannot know if the headphones are fully charged. The Space Travel's status light will turn off when it is fully charged. It is just a minor issue.
Yeah, that would be awesome, or even if it were available as an EQ profile in the app. But right now, we don’t even have many meta-tuned wired IEMs, so it’ll probably take some time.
in the 11.11 sale listings i saw moca for around 30 usd, the video came in a good timing, could you elaborate on the fit and comfort for long sessions? i worry this wont be as comfortable and standard circular nozzles
I can only speak of the Space Travel as it's the closest in design to the Moca, and the soundcore liberty 4 something that's stem design and have oval eartips as well. YMMV etc. To me it needs a bit of fiddling when I wear them but after that it's set and forget. It sits just barely inside my ear canal. It doesn't fully feeling disappear but it's not uncomfortable. I've used both outside on the train commuting, and it doesn't feel like it's going to fall off while walking. Hope this helps.
Please do more TWS mass market iem in price bracket not above 50-60usd. Such as CMF buds pro 2, it has interesting dynamic10mm + 6mm micro-planar tweeter. I think most of audiophile dude don't want to pay more than this range as backup travel/beater set.
@@Gizaudio @Gizaudio qcy melobuds pro (i live in eu, us prices taken from amazon etc.) - 48 usd. Slightly more expensive - cmf buds pro 2 - 59 usd (prob. can be bought cheaper) I know mocas probably sound better taken ldac out of the box(didn't try them yet), but for moondrop i would kinda expect it

Great tws but I think it could use some improvements; as a tws yeah having ldac could have been better. As an iem; it needs a little bit more refinement on treble range. Currently it's fine, but if you lower the 5-6 k range by 2 db and give it a massive boost on 10k would improve it. And the funny thing is; moondrop could have done this, these are tws, they have dsp.
Yea having LDAC would've been great but at this price point I think it would never happen since implementing LDAC would require them to pay royalties to Sony and it will cut into their margins. The only times I've seen LDAC at this price point is when the company has nothing to lose by pissing Sony off and add LDAC without paying Sony.
Nice review, who's the winner in ANC capabilities? or it's the same?
The Golden Ages.

Between golden ages and moca, which one should i choose?
Galaxy Buds FE on sale.

@@GreenAudioPedoesn't both have the same shells?
If you’re looking for slightly more detail, better ANC, and higher volume, go for the Golden Ages. For everything else, choose the MOCA.
I'm waiting for their TWS collab, I'm very curious about that one. I think it's Moondrop x Robin.
My FAVOURITE Gizaudio reviewer!
Thank you for the support 😀

Mine turns off once it’s fully charged.
I am waiting for a meta tuned tribrid TWS. I think that is a market that more manufacturers need to capitalize on.
That would be awesome

@jaygray91 did you try doing sports or jogging with them?
@@mistaBorg no I did not with either of them.
@@mistaBorg although headbanging like in a rock concert didn't make them fly out of my ears.
@@jaygray91 do you know any aftermarket eartips for the moca or is it not needed?

Ldac was one of my top priorities before I listened to the Galaxy buds Pro 2.
Im happy with my space travel but I think ill upgrade to moca 😊
That'll be a great upgrade.
@Gizaudio Absolutely! I just got them for 34 usd on aliexpress
Is the QC bad or something cause one of the buds looks rough?
No, I went running with them and one fell off a few times.
Moca vs Nothing Ear (a)?
Never tried the Nothing Ear a, so I can't comment on its sound.
No ldac is kinda insane at this price point nowadays as for a chinese company
Serious question, is there another TWS in this price range that supports LDAC?

If it weren't for absence of multipoint and poor microphone they would be the best buy of all time
they had to cut costs somewhere but still they look like a great buy imo. Im just waiting for the moondrop robin to drop
