⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE ⚠️
GAME MODE IS HERE and it’s actually quite good! You activate it by tapping 4 times (which is why I missed it, and I’m really sorry), will do a follow up shorts to test the latency soon, and thanks for the people who let me know in the comments!
Previously:
Now that I think again this is not the 3rd wireless buds from Moondrop (technically 5th if you count KURONEKO and Alice) but hey don’t mind the details? 😆
waiting for your latency test vs soundpeats og air
Questionm/idea request
Waiting for the latency test
Can u make a walkthrough how to activate the game mode? I cant activate it by tapping 4times
On the Shenzhenaudio product page they mention 55ms latency for the game mode.
I like how you mention specific details in specific tracks that stuck out in your review
it makes me so happy to see you still add product links and it looks so much better now! I really appreciate it!

I just got the Space Travel buds a couple of days ago. Here are my first impressions. When listening in a quiet controlled space they sound very good. Detailed, musical and pleasing. Connectivity was a breeze, and I settled on the Reference choice in the app. When used outside on a busy street even with ANC engaged they are unenjoyable, and underwhelming. It comes down to a lack of headroom in the volume department. Even indoors they are just barely loud enough when paired with an iphone, and leave no headroom for songs that may be mastered at a lower level. So, in my opinion the Space Travel are good for certain use cases, but travel is not one of them.
They’re meant to be used when space travelling, where it’s definitely quiet enough 😂
Try replacing the buds
how did u download the app? what do i search in playstore?
They are not good while commuting when ur in a window u can hear the winds 😅😅
What's the name of the app?
Interesting to see a good ANC TWS at that price. I guess the compromise is the mic. Based on that sample, it sucks hard. It is barely audible. Other than that, it looks good especially that decal and casing.
My buddy just got his pair yesterday and when he told me he was using them when we were on the phone I was really surprised, sounded just like he was using the mic in his phone! Idk if they fixed it with software or what but I was impressed
I think it sounds bad because it's unedited after a whole video where audio received some very proper treatment - a comparison is just naturally, unavoidably made and yeah it doesn't sound remotely as good as whatever mic+post production Kenneth is using at his studio
Been waiting for this! Good job as always Kenneth!
Actually there is game mode. You just need to tap 4 times and it will say "game mode" and if you tap 4 times again it says "music mode". The music mode is the standard when you remove the tws from the case. And this mechanism works on both sides.
Thank you so much for letting me know! It’s a miss from my side and I’m so sorry (especially now that I test it, it’s quite good!)
I love that it’s available on both sides tho, and will do a latency test soon!
Can u guide me how to activate the game mode? I cant seem to find it
@@jcarlo19 On either sides tap 4 times to activate game mode and 4 taps again to return to music mode. Unfortunately you cannot change this feature in the app provided by moondrop.
@@williamito7650 thanks, i will try this again
Is the Game Mode low latency?
This might be the one replacement buds I've been waiting for so long! I've still been using my Soundpeats TrueFree+ wireless since God knows when and couldn't find a pair which comes close to how TrueFree+ does Spatial and Directional Sound, and how every instrument is an individual, and bass is just right to make epic music feel "epic". Dual Drivers really make a difference. I might try this, thank you! ❤ but totn between this and Soundpeats Engine 4, which is a Dual Driver and LDAC Support
Another solid review. Curious about these as I tried the Nekocake in the past and found them surprisingly enjoyable and comfortable. I have the SP Engine4 so doing a self-comparison would be interesting. Mic definitely could be better but it's $25 so no surprise. Thx.
Thanks so much! If you found the Nekocake to be comfortable then this one is going to be one as well. Will look forward to your thoughts, but yeah exactly for $25 we can't really expect much for the mic, it works well indoors for online meetings and that's good enough
I tried the Space Travel and returned then as I preferred the sound signature of the Nekocake. The latter seemed louder and more full whereas the Space Travel sounded like an average set for $20. As I didn't initially give the Nekocake a fair chance the 1st time, may try the Space Travel again for a long term test.
I have these and they are fantastic!
I have Neekocake before, comparing them and this Space Travel is a huge improvement. My only gripe was no lid and buttons were tap when removing the buds.
Might be release a case on these because Neekocake have a case available even in 3rd party sellers
That’s amazing! I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it 😁 actually I would maybe buy a nekocake myself and see the if you can use its case, and yeah I agree the accidental tap is quite troublesome at one point I thought it had a wear detection sensor haha
What do you mean by lid and case? Sorry for the newbie question.
Is it better than the nekocakes?
@@RJ-mj4sh In the default settings both sound very similiar. Maybe a slight punchier bass. Details the same.
@@lltechviewi already have the kuronekos
Should i buy these? Like is it an upgrade or a downgrade?
Hey! Which would you recommend between the following ANC earbuds
1: Moondrop
2: Soundpeats life
3: Qcy Ht07
Thanks😊
Awesome, thanks for the review. I recently started looking for wireless buds for my morning routine since I really disliked the wire of my current ones just dangling about while running and "tugging" at my ears, but didn't really want to just spend 40+ bucks on a pair with decent-ish quality. This pair being 25 bucks certainly puts them on my radar, as it won't really be that big of a deal if I damage or lose one of them. The battery life, which would arguably be the biggest con, also doesn't really bother me, since I'll only really use them for 1,5 - 2ish hours per day.
iluv is also really good for the price, sound quality is decent not great, but they do have 4 mic noise cancelling.
Kenneth you is my go to tws guy. Bought soundpeats free2 classic (broken now) because of your' s recommendation and now space travel. Thank you for make.your's review simple and eazy to understand.
Nice review as always, Kenneth! This definitely made me consider the space travel as a more budget option that it wont be too much of an issue if I ever lose it or it stops working after a year or two. How do you think does it compare to the Edifier TWS 1 pro? I stupidly lost the buds and was looking for a replacement for it. Do you think that the space travel is better than it (mainly in the technicalities)? I was originally considering the soundpeats engine 4 at 37 USD but this is definitely a tempting offer at almost half the price and the added ANC.
im tired recommending it, although buy others above if you can
think im listening to it atm, yeah similar signature, nothing spectacular though, can be found on cheaper models
its really my old iem lul
I also wonder the same thing how they compare to my Edifier TWS 1 pro as well
I always go to KT vids for recommendations.. All in depth review straight to the point. Top notch
Thank you so much for this, I’ll keep giving my very best 😁
Great video! Price point is very attractive. I've been using edifier x3 for the last ~3 years and still working well. No idea on sound quality but is it comparable?
Just bought these for 20 dollars in 9 9 sale! I just tested it out while walking in the city and ANC is good enough. The background noise is reduced enough. The wind noise though. It can't remove it but for the money I paid I can't complain.
Thanks for the real world usage review with specific music examples.
Hi Kenneth, love the video! how's the resolution and soundstage of space travel compared to other earbuds?
i'll gonna buy this tws cause of a funny situation in this video.
So yesterday, i was going to watch a movie with my friend in alsut, and on the way i'm kinda recogzined you recording, but i'm not so sure if it's really you.
But i'm just like "i'm gonna throw a peace sign while you're recording" and there i am in 13:41 lol.
HOLY SMOKES man that is just way too cool 🤣 can I count this as the first time being recognized in public? Hahahaha thanks for making my day
Finally! Saw them on Amazon a while back, but they were new and had no reviews on any platform.
Definitely a super new release! Only if my sample shipment didn’t get returned, I would’ve worked on it much sooner!
Anyways go buy it it’s very good! Hahaha
Amazing video. It would be great if you can share a playlist to check headphones, with all the songs you mentioned here and some more similar ones.
🙏
Thanks for the different brand earbuds review.
What are your top buds for long lasting sub bass?
Thanks Tanaka. I bought Space travel moondrop and it just arrived today. The vocal clarity at sound quality for less than 25$ got me Wow😮. I also bought haylou gt1and is still with me for almost 2years now was also convinced buying this because of your reviews. Keep it up💪
I’m so glad to hear that! Must be a huge upgrade from the Haylou right haha it’s been a while since the last time I heard GT1 but man what a legend 🤣
@@namedkenngood day Tanaka, I would like to ask in your opinion, which is good in music, moon drop space travel (basshead is on in app) or haylou gt1, I have also gt1 almost 2years to me the bass is very good
This is my first time listening to your channel. Really great review. SUBSCRIBED!
as always, great and straight to the point review. I purchased QCY-L2 ANC years ago because of your recommendation. ANC was unbeatable for the price and it helped me A LOT to sleep in noisy airplane cabin. how's the moondrop ANC compares to QCY-L2? I don't really mind a bit of high frequency sound coming through. for me, the most important is to block the constant plane engine sound. should I upgrade or not? thanks in advance.
I was waiting for you to review this! I did get them anyway 😂, I fell in love with them. Still haven't arrived though.
Great video brother! I need to try these out 🔥
You definitely should James! Thanks for stopping by 😁
Good work, KT! Thanks for another excellent review!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much 😁
Great video Kenneth. They look like great tws for the price, the design is quite unique too.
Great review 👏 i want to ask because you checked everything... witch one is better between the space travel the soundpeats engine 4 and the liberty 4 nc?? And in sound and all around
Been using Sabbat's for a few years (Ultra 12 & 16's) and for their price they're really good and last long. That's my question. How durable will they be for only $25?
Thank you for the recommendation Kenneth, I'm definitely buying this one😁👍
Enjoy!!
What do you guys think is better this one or the soundpeats free2 classic? I'm debating on which one to buy.
Wow, this weren't on my radar at all, but now I need to add them to my growing collection of headphones.
I know right! This really took me by surprise
this review came just in time! i've been deliberating between the nekocake and the space travel for a while now, but i still can't decide. ultimately, what would you recommend to get?
Great review as always!
I was "done" spending on IEMs this year but after the hype I decided to give this one a go. I can't wait for it to arrive.
Can u give insights if its worth the money
@@renyellow bro it's $25 and he just did a 15 minute review. You really need a TH-cam comment to decide?
@@putrid2529 any other extra users experience and opinion is appreciated
@@putrid2529it's always good to hear different opinions and experiences
Hi Ken!
Very informative video as always, thanks for sharing once again!
Is it safe to say that it's better to get the moondrop space travel over soundpeats engine 4?
Cheers,
jaoie
Got a pair and can agree that sound is great for the price. ANC does not pass the working in a factory test. I was worried about the buds falling out of the lidless case while in a pocket but so far it hasn't happened. Definitely decent beaters.
someone said that it has slow volume like 70%volume space travel =40/50 % other tws, is it true?
@@pizzaslayer381 It gets loud enough for me. If that's a problem you have it could be a good idea to have your hearing checked.
Can you suggest tws tws that pass the working on factory test?
@@tendousj not tws, but Sony wh3 on ear does, so I assume successors including the tws does aswell.
And obviously I'm not making any measured claims, just my experience from my workplace where ear protection is not required and we don't have to shout to communicate but still noisy machinery.
How is the mic quality on calls? My work background is loud also.
Thank you as always for the review!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching too 😁
What do you think about the QCY ht05 for gaming and overall performance for the price? How is it compared to this
How does it compare to those Oppo or OnePlus buds? Because I don't like those two and Redmi Buds.
if sound quality is your priority, Moondrop Space Travel is second to none. Up until you can afford Buds 2/2 Pro or APP Pro 2nd Generation.
Hi, great review,
How was the compare of the moondrop space travel vs soundpeats engine 4 in sound quality & comfort side?
They are only $6 difference in my country.
Ok I don't normally comment on videos but I have to on this one. I'm a long time subscriber since the Haylou GT1 recommendation. But as an Insomnia, kindof shocked to see Break the wall as your test song. Please listen to more of their songs highly recommended for being unique, good grounds for instrument separation, and wide genre selection.
Anyways, I'm a fan of your work. You are always been my go-to reviewer whenever I'm in search for my next wireless earbuds. Currently using Soundpeats Air3 Pro. More power and salute to you sir!
You should make a ranking of the best budget tws now :)
I just got my Moondrop Space Travel and it really sounded great! Any budget silicone eartips that you might recommend to use for this TWS?
Hi Kenneth what's a good alternative for this Moondrop Space Travel? The low volume is killing me..
so glad i found they dropped a new model when i was considering the nekocake and im even more glad I found your video about this. I see Ken, ight say less this gon be good
I'm so glad this helped you make your decision! Enjoy 😁
I'm Indonesian; how have I not heard of you before. You have very good English and your content quality is top notch. The fact that you are also Indonesian is so important to me because a lot of electronic recommendations from western channels will have different prices, thus different values. Kerja bagus bang 👌
Hello sir, is that also good for running or working out? Thanks for the response
what should i buy? this moondrop or haylou moripads which one is better when it comes to anc?
I'm considering getting one of these as a replacement for my SoundPeats Free2Classic. the only gripe I have is that they LOVE to desync and it's not entirely obvious of how to resync them.
I have 2 of these and they both have this issue.
Mine is have weird issue
Left side is have lower volume than right side
Would you recomend these over the soundpeats air4/air4 lite?
Hi Kenneth, how is the sound quality compared to the 1more comfobuds pro? I have the 1more already and is the moondrop worth buying for the sound quality?
Great review, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for your review
Fantastic review! Thank you very much!
Weird question - what brand are your glasses frames? They look great.
Haha you’re very welcome! I’m not sure if it’s available in your part, but I got it from a shop called Dr. Specs
@@namedkenn Yeah, nowhere near me, but thank you very much for sharing! I appreciate it!
Do you have plans to review the soundpeats truefree t2?
these look pretty nice, maybe would make a nice gift. I've given up using true wireless buds, I've lost or broken three pairs. but I did find a nice pair of in-ear monitors with usb c
Hey Ken, I bought the Alien Secret QCC010 about 2 years ago after watching your review - really good and still using it today. I do prefer warm sounding earbuds. How does the Moondrop Space Travel compare to the QCC010?
Which is better, this or the soundpeats mini hs? I'm leaning more on call and sound quality
some time ago I asked aboute realme buds air 3 and I am still waiting for review :)
can't believe I'm still watching you, my 1st earbuds is haylao recommended by you. 2nd earbuds, soundpeats truengine 3se also recommended by you. now I think I'm gonna buy new earbuds haha also recommended by u
What would you suggest I buy. This or the Edifier NB2 pro
Should I buy these instead of soundpeats capsule 3 pros?
Terima kasih atas reviewnya Tanaka-san
Planning to buy this, how long does the earbuds charge in the case?
Which has better sound quality Space Travel or QCY HT 05?
I have the choice to buy the soundpeats free 2 classic at 18 USD or the moondrop of this videa at 26 USD. It's worth it the extra money in your opinion?
how does it compare with FILL T2 Pro? ik FILL is more expensive but i bought it last year and these hadn't release yet 😥
Sir which is better between moondrop space travel and edifier GT4, what can you recommend?
Hi Ken, do you have huawei freebuds 5i and soundpeats air 4? I want to know your thoughts. Thanks.
Hi i just wanted to ask what should i get Soundpeats mini hs or soundpeats life or moon drop space travel since they're all under 30$ please let me known thank you
very natural you tuber, great info
I already buy it. The ANC It helps me when I'm outside and talking to people. Sound quality isnt bad. Last time I used kz, so it's not that different. and one more thing, I like the moe voice.
Hi Kenneth, your videos are really meaningful and enjoying to watch btw I have a question which is if i can get soundpeats engine 4 for the price of moondrop space travel which one should i go for
Thank you so much! To be honest if you can get the Engine4 at below 30USD I would suggest going with that instead, but keep in mind you don't get ANC that way (still a heck of a deal tho!)
Hello can you make a comparison of this and soundcore p2 mini. They're both have close price range. And I don't mind having anc. I only care about battery and good sounds. ANC is just an icing for me
hey brother im a fan of yours
i bought tws from haylou wayback 2020 because of your vids, now im looking for a nice upgrade. can you recommend a good tws for traveling with good kicks of bass in under $100?
thanks
Nice Video! How those compare to the Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro?
Why are you asking? The capsule 3 pro dosen't even compare to the engine4
which mic do you think is better mondrop kuroneko or the space travel?
In my country I got the QCY HT07(QCY Arcbuds) for $19
It has 40dB ANC and very good battery life
okay you deserve a sub, amazing breakdown of the product :)
Much appreciated man! Hopefully you’ll found the next videos helpful too 😁
can the eartips be replaced with aftermarket ones? I wanna pair these with memory foam tips.
Bought these just a day after watching your video to be used alongside my Galaxy Buds Pro, honestly can relate to everything that you said! What a decent pair of affordable tws earbuds. Great review.
Hey! Which one do you prefer actually?
@farhansubi417 definitely the buds pro, got the moondrop as a backup
Hii how does it compare to the Moondrop Sparks?
Which is better, QCY T13 ANC or Moondrop Space Travel?
Hi! Could you please also do a review of Marshall's Motif ANC? Thanks!
Ah they have an interesting brand/products, although I don’t know if I can try them out soon considering the price, but I’ll try!
Untuk hanya sound quality, lebih bagus liberty 4nc atau yg ini?
How is this compared to soundpeats mini pro hs and other sub 50/50$ earbuds?
kinda have some doubt if this is worth it?
I'm curious how these compare to the WF1000 xm3, since that's the one that's the one I'm rocking currently
Great product and great video.
I'm not a fan of radiating my ears more than i need to so i dont use wireless.
Love and blessings!
Compare to FIIL T1 Pro, which one is better?
Guys, between this and the nekocake, which of them are the best?
Hey Kenneth and guys, need your advice here, please. I'm looking for my first TWS and I was considering Samsung Buds2 before this one was released. Any advise?
Between realme air 5 and this earphone which is better option (pls reply🥺)
Hey, you just popped up on my recommencation, so excuse me for being late, but what app is that you are using for the 3 eq presets?
Which one Sonds better NekoCake(Black) or Space Travel?
i want to by one Please let me know.
Kenneth tanaka Is it normal when calling the media sounds volume is reduced to 60%? Even setting it up to max volume?
Have you tested the QCY ht05 ? I wonder which ones are better.
Besides that great video very detailed as always, love to see your reviews before getting new earbuds.
Selamat pagi. Terimakasih untuk review-nya yg begitu detail n cool.
