Where's Jay with his "TIMMY'S A PAID MOONDROP SHILL" comments now? 😂
the box with the anime girl is worth $50 alone
Mine arrived a few days ago. I didn’t buy them for the features but because they were planars with LDAC. They sound OK to me, maybe better than the Space Travel.
I'd love to see you make a tws recommendations vid 😊
I love we all hear different. My impressions are far from yours. I own both and to me the golden ages sounds clearer, punchier and much better than the space travel. Even transparency and NC feel better to me on golden ages
I agree with you, I don't get why the GAs gets so many bad reviews and the Space Travels gets so many good reviews, if the GAs are way better than the Space Travels in every aspect.
I think it has to do with the price, where I'm from Space travel costs 3 times cheaper than golden age. Maybe it's better but is it 3 times better in every aspect?
did you try swapping the stock eartips? i had these problems with every moon drop tws untill i put after mark tips on it
I don't completely agree with this test, even if the description of the type of sound is quite well transcribed.
I tested then and for me, these TWS are a bit like the new Lypertek Tevi. They are made for music, not quite for other aspects. It's a choice.
They sound very good: they are clean, neutral, kind of natural sounding.
It's not the typical bass from tws. I compared them to my wf1000-XM4, it's really the opposite (even if I equalized them to reduce bass). Kind of lean bass but with impact.
LDAC connection is stable, even in the subway.
ANC is a nice little extra.
Tip provided are not bad but don't contribute for the isolation. I used the symbio W on them, i think it was a good addition.
I think it's really not bad, I like them.
The little thing is that they are a little expensive ($15 less and the purchase will be easier 🙂).
PS: for the extra cover for the case, it's real that it hide the design a little. But the drawing recall the location of the cassette player that we had at the time. There were always patterns or bars allowing you to see what was left of magnetic tape.
Timmy can't remember that, it didn't exist in his time 😇. He must not have often seen a HiFi system with an audio cassette player.
After that, I understand the rating because these are not typical TWS.
For TWS around $80 you might want to look at the Soundcore Liberty 4NC. It may have the "consumer" tuning which is to say quite pleasing outdoors, but the noise cancelling is way above its league and it has all the tws gimmicks like LDAC, wear detection, wireless charging case and dual connection. Battery lasts way longer too.
LDAC is a gimmick ?
Hard disagree
@@AmmarAbotouk yeah LDAC on cheap headphones/TWS is just a gimmick.
Frankly, I think this is just nonsense. This type of headphones is often used for transportation and to be kept in the pocket, so this size and shape are bad. The 80s does not mean making something impractical.
The size is not that bad. I'm still using sony wf 1000xm3 and from what I can tell the cases size are similar. Biggest problem is just really that this thing sounds like trash.
@@cfilorvyls457 doubling this. I don't think size means much of anything if the quality is there. Obviously I am choosing TWS/IEMS over headphones for the convenience factor so there's absolutely such a thing as too big. But yeah, I've been a long time lover of the xm3's from Sony and that is one monstrous case.
it's still small and fairly light imo
I loved the sound at reference setting, female vocal sounded so good, wery easy to listen to and detail was pinpoint as a clock, think i Will use my as gaming monitor at my Computer. Yee as a tws it not worthy, but for sound and gamingmode i think its good. As tws and all the way you use one at same price i would recomende soundcore Liberty 4 over this anyday.
I find its really hit and miss with the Moondrop TWS as ive owned the limited edition "Ash Arms" Neko cakes and they sounded fantastic, there was a specific Sennheiser EQ tuning curve that made them sound exact like my Sennheiser Momentums 2s and I was laughing at how great a price it was. They lasted for maybe 6 months when the case battery died as well as the earbud batteries as well. Fast forward to the space Travel coming out I thought they were great minus the battery life and not being as loud as the Neko cake but i understood due to the price, those lasted maybe 3 months and I ordered another pair and currently they are still holding strong however not as loud as the Neko cakes.
Bro, i have Nekocake Ash Arms Edition too, it's been more than a year it still fine, btw which EQ tuning you talking about? I don't really know TBH
For 80 nah might as well get iem
gonna get the Space Travel from this video. hahaha thanks for the info.
Sound wise i didn't find them bad, in fact i kinda enjoy them. TWS wise anc and transparency are decent, i usually don't take TWS outside when i travel, i'm too used to my little white + IEM combo.
I genuinely think you got a faulty unit
Ip rating?
Wasnt some codec weirdness going on with the mic? Moondrop states that they support lc3, which works well with compatible devices. Only the newest smartphones have those bluetooth chips though, so your smartphone might have been the issue
It be good if you make a video of Bluetooth Headphones (TWS) with all of your recommendations
Nice vid, as always. Will you review Dusk? And most importantly: will you Duy Busk?
he doesn't need to duy busk
If you don't duy the busk I don't know what you're doing with your life
You, and your wife, are correct. 💯
This vs nekocake tho?
moondrop dusk review when??
I was really hoping for a s12-like tws
Me too, I ordered it as my wireless S12, cause I'm not satisfied with my AirPods Pro 2 and Sony WF-1000XM4. I really don't want to get one of those TWS receivers for IEMs that look like hearing aids. Some reviews I read online are still positive though so, I think I'll wait for mine to arrive and validate myself and I'll share my experience too
@@captainpicard3016 thanks
So basically a reshell space travel but more expensive 😂
Crin sent you Dusk yet ?
nothing can beat the big 3 in tws
I've just saved 80 dollars for dusk
Looking forward to your review
Welp, think I just made the right decision to order the Galaxy Buds 2 for just 45USD here.
Love the design, unfortunate that performance and quality seem to be lacking...
Is this with LDAC? Or no?
It says on their web site. Perhaps you could look.
@@calvinchann1996 i mean this review not the product itself. I'm asking if timmy reviewed the Golden Ages with LDAC on
Sahooorr
Shutup!
Wes Imsak
That's too bad, I already ordered mine as as Space Travel upgrade. 😅
Got you by their claws huh 😬😬
Cancel it. Or return it. Almost every review is negative. This is really that bad.
I suppose it depends on what you wanted in terms of upgrade, but you might actually enjoy them despite the reviews.
@@MartinitraM What I wanted was more resolution. The Space Travel is well tuned and all, but that's like looking at a really well color-graded picture at like 300 by 300 pixels. Sure, the colors look nice, but they're still hard to appreciate at potato resolution.
@LSDScreen in that case it looks like you're not getting what you hoped. If you're chasing better resolution then wired options are a lot better for the money. You can get Bluetooth adaptors for wired IEMs, which is probably cheaper than similar performing TWS.
I think its better to compare it to the sparks, no? since theyre in the same price range, well literally the same price. Are they better than sparks?
So it's better to buy 3 Space Travel to replace each other when the battery runs out. The remaining $20 is for pizza.. 😄
Moondrop finna blacklist you timmy
planar need amplifier
shame. some of the critiques (like bad noise isolation) makes me wonder if it's because of a bad seal.
doesn't matter though, with everything else mentioned I am still very disappointed in moondrop :/
Is it just me, or are his mannerisms and delivery becoming more Crin-like?
It's called encrinification. Soon we will all become Crinacle
@@NJ-wb1cz slowly but steadily indocrinated
Crin would NEVER fix his hair in-between cuts
i dont get this review why is the entire audio section just based on bass, there are a lot v shaped tws in the market like what about other thing. This isnt even a review . 1 min of audio and half of it is on how it isnt bassy
I do like the space travel but the golden ages you say has better vocals, I may get it someday purely as a hd600 fanboy lol
Lets see for how long the moondrop app supports this tws, since it doesn't recognize space travel since some time...
I've never known you get something so wrong
Moondrop Sparks (Wennebostel preset) is the only good sounding product moondorp ever made.
I honestly prefer space travel, the bass on this is so dry and unnatural
