No multipoint is always a bummer, but who can complain at this price point. 😂 I lost both buds of Air 3 Deluxe HS. Thinking about going with Blocks now.
Hi, I need help! Need good sound quality and good microphones; is soundpeats air 3 deluxe hs much better than soundcore k20i? What else can you recommend for this price (+-20$)
Never in my life have I ever imagined seeing a Dreamcatcher track in one of your videos or in fact in any earbuds review video altogether 🤯 awesome review as always
I got these recently and i feel like I finally have a replacement for monks on the go. Much more convenient without wires when I'm in situations I want to hear my surroundings. The tuning is nice too but I do like Moondrop's tuning.
Nice review as always. Wanted a Moondrop for awhile now and I believe this will be the one. Just bought it using your link and hope it'll help support the channel. Good work!
Hey about your Fiil CC Nano, you should try leaving the broken ear bud out of the case for like 7 - 8 hours. After that put it on the case and give it a full charge. It magically brought my Fiil T1 lite right ear bud back to life lol. It seems common among Fiil product since I have seen several cases like this happened.
Review the JBL live flex it will blow your mind for a half-in ear design. The Sub-bass is out this world and will set the bar for what's is expected when it comes to similar form factors. I promise it's worth every penny. Thanks for your awesome reviews..
Hi Kenneth, thank you sooo much for this review! Am searching for half in ear (earbuds cause itching on me) and because of your video I bought Moondrop Block 😂. It just arrived and am soo happyy, the sound quality exceeds my expectation! 😱
Finally! Been waiting for your review! 🎉 I got this to change my Soundcore k20i for 2 reasons - the fit and the sound. It is the only semi in-ear shape that stays in my big ass ear besides the Airpods 3 while running. The bass is existing which is the only thing I ask for in this type of fit and not flat. I can use it for running and stays in place. This stays in my ear even better than my previous Edifier w320tn which is already similar to Airpods 3 shape. A steal for 20 bucks or even lower for coupons.
Yeah man honestly I was mindblown when I saw the price could get as low as 15 bucks But fit is also another thing, and while I missed AirPods 3 entirely I’ll try to review the 4th gen soon!
@namedkenn Awesome! The Airpods 3 has the best fit due to the curve and the size. It's really just unfortunate as I am not in the Apple ecosystem, so I had to get something else like this one.
The Galaxy Buds Live are currently still my half-in ear tws value champ. I use some 3rd party sleeves that help greatly in isolating the sound and showcasing the bass that the lives actually have. And it's always on sale. I wonder how the Moondrop block fares compared to that. But the 20$ pricepoint of the block itself is already amazing.
@@audaceus i always wonder why they didn't improve and launched any more iterations in the kidney design. Its still my fav and they do break but by then I'd buy the next galaxy buds live
It was because of the Galaxy Live that I gave the open-ear style of buds a chance. The Aerofit series from Soundcore are pretty good for open earbuds; I use the Aerofit Pro. But the market now has good, and cheap, earbuds in the market.
@@Lh0ul1 just search for "galaxy buds live sleeves" or "buds live eartips" it should be the one that combines the earhooks and the ear tips, and not separate pieces.
Finally bought this aside from the max volume being a disappointment like add 20% more volume this review is spot-on! The open fit built fits perfectly for my ears and even with long usage my ears don't get sore and irritated like most earphones do. Very satisfied with it.
ohh boy, moondrop just announced the collaboration with honkai star rail, and it's gonna be a TWS too, really hoping that it's gonna be as good as the block, considering that it's a collab and it's gonna cost alot more
I only listen to podcast, the last time I had ear buds (the were cheap as a nice display of amounr of charge on the case but a pain to pair *sp^ with out the case) I bought a pair of these. I hope these have paring button on the buds themselves. I just use old fashioned wired ear phones but I am learning that AUX ports are disappearing. So perhaps a 'criteria' of voice quality, buttons on buds (perhaps) and audio prompts or the lights on the buds.
@@Nazgul094 Until you mentioned it - I never thought they would have made those, but of course they would. I will look for them, I don't normally see anything like that on the store shelves thinking that they have the standard jack, so I have not paid attention to them keeping 'my old standard pairs' around. And I bet the usb-c doesn't 'loose contact', break up, or wiggle too much too !
@@df29208 I also never thought those were made, until I got my new phone recently which doesn't have a 3.5mm audio jack, so I just thought "well if there are USB-C to HDMI cables why wouldn't there be USB-C earphones, and there's the 3.5mm to USB-C dongle as well". Also, being 2024 we can assume any sort of cable or adaptor exists already.
First time hearing the term half-in ear. How are these kinds of earbuds for cycling? Does it allow enough outside sound in for awareness? How about wind noise?
It's just to be more specific in describing earbuds that doesn't have silicone tips, but also not the ones completely out of ear (I call those open ears, like the Nothing ear open) They should be good and doesn't get disrupted by wind noise, but you have to check it for yourself honestly, maybe if some around you got AirPods it'll give a good idea
Hey Kenneth love the video! Soundpeat clear vs md block vs Huawei freebud se 2. Which one would u recommend for pure sound quality. Loudness, vocal clearity & details. Hope you reply🤞🏽
No no don't compare it to Space Travel cause half in-ears will always be inferior because they don't have eartips that provide noise isolation I'll put some more info in the pinned comment!
When do you plan on dropping the ultrasonic and moca videos? And which one do you recommend out of the three. I know they’re all different but what would you recommend?
4:06 yeah I remember those days, I used to watch your videos about those to get them, now I got to a better state of wealth and still miss those days, haha
This might be my 3rd half in tws... Also a question what's the notification sound when the battery is low? I got a soundpeats air 3 the notification voice is way too loud that it's getting annoying.
Your review on k20i is precise and on point, and what about comparison with k20i but only for bass department ?? Did i get the kick for the likes of edm, rock, jrock???
@@muhamadkhatami6642 Not really sure if this is gonna fit into your liking but,you can use Wavelet and Auto-EQ to a "Moondrop Nekocake" ,might improve some clarity with it
Hello Kenneth, SoundPeats Air 4 Lite or Moondrop Block is better? From your preference, because you already try both earbuds, which one is SMALLER? (I Have small ear) I hope for your reply, i really confuse between these 2 lol Thankyou.
I bought my wife the Soundcore K20i, I'm surprised how I actually also loved the half in ear earphones. Now I think I need to buy this one for myself 😂
@@namedkenn I know right? Also in my field of work is often involving audio monitoring, it is tiring to have to taking my headphones off just to listen to the actual audio source or when you have to listen to the show director for the cue. Also did you know turning on ambient/transparency mode on ANC headphones in a loud environment is fatiguing? I think perhaps a half in ear will help in this kind of situation.
Hey Ken, was wondering between Anker K20i, Redmi Buds 6, and Moondrop Block, which one would you suggest? I know they’re not exactly at the same price bracket. But if I can stretch my budget out to Moondrop block, is it far better compared to K20i and Redmi Buds 6? Tia, cheers!
Hey kenneth is it possible for you to review the cmf buds? It has some pretty cool features such as the knob on the case which you can customize with their app. But i don't know how the audio compares to others at it's price. Thank you!
hey man can u do a review on the nothing ear (open) when they come out? they look really good for me but id like to use them when running etc and idk how well they stay on during rapid movements
Hey man, honestly I’m really sad when I saw all my fellow creators came out day 1 with their reviews of the Nothing ear (open) Cause I tried to contact Nothing but well… nothing so far 😂 and they’re just not available to buy in my country (either very late or you get from crazy resellers) Even the Phone (2a) was because my friend bought it from Singapore and let me review it first! A very sad situation honestly cause honestly Nothing makes some nice stuff, for now I can only wait 🥲
The problem with the open case is not the buds flying out no I've never lost my space travel but it gets dirty in there, at some point my buds wouldn't charge anymore because a micro piece of lin got stuck near the charge pins. Nothing that a little brush couldn't fix tho.
Haha yeah that makes sense, although I think it comes down to preference since I’ve always liked open case design since the very early days (remember QCY T1! Haha)
Kenneth, i wish you could get your hands on premium segment, it would be so exciting to know your opinion on the expensive half in ears, like Huawei Freebuds 5, Xiaomi Buds 5 etc.
Hi Kenneth i have bought the Soundpeats air 3 delux hs but i feel like am feeling dizzy every time i use them even without playing anything just putting them in my ears i was wondering if that's only me feeling this or its common in the designee i really like them though with there little latency for watching videos and making phone calls, i have also bought the K20i witch i think got a better music quality but the latency was terrible i couldn't use it to watch movies or anything lips out of sync
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3 Huawei FreeBuds 5 Huawei FreeClip Huawei is killing it with noise cancellation and good mic quality. Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and Oppo Enco X2 are also not bad. Honor Earbuds 3 Pro and Sony LinkBuds S are runner ups.
Mics on these or the k20i? The k20i is around $12 here while the Blocks are $20, but i'd be willing to get the Blocks if the mics are far ahead of the k20i
@namedkenn thanks for taking time to reply! I might be getting the k20i's, as my impression from different mic tests from other videos is they sound quite similar.
I’ll get Block 😁 better sound than everything and acceptable for the rest of the stuff, otherwise the K20i is also a good all-rounder choice, both an upgrade to the Air2
Kenn! Please review the edifier stax spirit s10!! 😭 I want to know what you think about them. I really want them. I want to know if they are as good as I imagine.
Hello, would you recommend the air 4 pro or space travel for mostly sound quality and anc? I listen to rap music, don toliver and travis scott type, not like j cole or kendrick lamar.
If we're talking Soundpeats Air4 Pro I don't think I'll recommend it anymore (and it's much more expensive too), but taking a look at your music genre maybe you might wanna check out Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro+? Space travel works too haha at a much cheaper price (the alt Soundpeats Clear doesn't have ANC)
@@namedkenn the air 4 pro in my country is only $35 (with coupons) but the capsule pro plus is almost double that at $75. The qcy melobuds is about $45 though and seems good. What would you recommend?
Hm, no multipoint? I really do need that - I really want a 1-1.5jt TWS with multipoint, decent sound, and decent ANC + Transparency (so I don't need to mess around with volume). Soundcore r50i NC wasn't it, unfortunately it's worse than the Space A40 I was replacing, so I was hoping a Moondrop TWS could be that.
Haha well it’s a basic 300k earbuds afterall If your budget is at that range I believe the Earfun Air Pro 4 would fit the bill perfectly! My video here ua-cam.com/video/hv-CP1fXLUA/v-deo.htmlsi=nAVRrY4vEm0c8Lr7
@@namedkenn Yeah going from Space A40, to a temporarily borrowed A20i, to r50i NC really screwed my expectations and standards. I'll take a look at that, after I finished your video on budget headphones and looked them all up. I am just watching through all your videos, haha. I'm looking for something neutral and comfy overall, because the r50i NC shape and sound profile just tires me quickly. The block seemed promising with its shape but lack of multipoint is no-go, I need it for quick switching between devices. Honestly, I'm just looking for a Samson SR850 but wireless and multipoint at this point because I loved everything about it, but I might be being unreasonable lol
Yeah it fits better than most airpods-style buds, at least for me (airpods always fall off on my left ear especially) but I'm curious about the newer 3rd/4th gen too!
Pay it no mind I just have it always on with downloaded music as default, but thru bluetooth and codec conversion (SBC/AAC) you won’t be able to stream lossless Honestly tho I can’t really hear the difference ✌🏻
Hello Bro Kenneth, Could you please provide a score between 0 and 10 for the phone call mic quality on the Moondrop Block TWS, along with valid reasons for your rating? Thank you Brother 🙏🙂👍
I would say around 6 haha it’s not too good but still passing mark, I would rate the K20i the same as well But then that’s in the grand scheme of things, because for $20 buds like this most of the mic is unusable haha
I avoid comparing in-ear to half in-ears cause the former will definitely sound better due to the passive seal, but as far as half in-ear is concerned the BLOCK is the best sound I've heard so far
Haha I should’ve addressed this in the video, these two are totally different buds catered to different needs Better sound, isolation and ANC = Space Travel Open fit so you can hear around you = Block
Buds 2 Pro from Samsung? No no this doesn’t have any of the features, but also the price is so much cheaper The Earfun Air Pro 4 will give the Buds 2 Pro a run for its money instead ua-cam.com/video/hv-CP1fXLUA/v-deo.htmlsi=q-PgEbYgJLoFgxjq
Guys what is the best audio experience I can get for the cheapest price. Like Iems, earphones, earbuds or headphones, wired or wireless, doesn't matter. I want to experience audio at it's best, not bad heavy but like an audiophile, I don't have a huge budget, so from 10-20 dollars, what can I get. I listened to kz and cca iems from my friend and I fell in love, with how much details of instruments were present in my favourite songs that I hadn't heard before
Haha that’s great, CCA CRA is one good option, but you can also try Tanchjim Zero (or its upgrade the Bunny), Truthear Gate is also a solid option, and on Moondrop we got Chu 2 Some options you can try and pick which one suits your tastes best!
Hi Selamat Malam, I want to ask about ENC or Noise cancellation for meeting call. 1. Its need using APP to active the Feature? and not work when connect with laptop? 2. What score do you apply between 1 - 10.? 3. Any other Recommendation for ENC / Mic for Meeting call using laptop? *~Rp 400rb if any
ENC is automatically used for the mic, this little guy would be 6 out of 10 so just passing score haha but that’s good enough at this price Unfortunately at this price point nothing is super super good, you’ll just have to increase the budget to at least the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC at 1jt

- How does it compare to Space Travel? Generally those with in-ear tips are always going to sound better, but think like this:

Yes and no. It’s smaller than Space Travel
What do yall think is better in general, this moondrop block or the soundcore r50i NC?
Hi Kenneth
i have bought the Soundpeats air 3 delux hs but i feel like am feeling dizzy every time i use them even without playing anything just putting them in my ears
i was wondering if that's only me feeling this or its common in the designee i really like them though with there little latency for watching videos and making phone calls,
i have also bought the K20i witch i think got a better music quality but the latency was terrible i couldn't use it to watch movies or anything lips out of sync
curious about cmf buds range and nothing buds series. it'll be a good comparison for sure!
Hi Kenneth.. from your experience, which top 3 tws that have great microphone quality from outdoor test in any price range?
Huawei FreeBuds Pro 3
Huawei FreeBuds 5
Huawei FreeClip
Huawei is killing it with noise cancellation and good mic quality.
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro and
Oppo Enco X2 are also not bad.
Honor Earbuds 3 Pro and Sony LinkBuds S are runner ups.
I have a Space Travel but prefer the flat buds... Sigh am I going to spend again? 😭😭
Mics on these or the k20i?
The k20i is around $12 here while the Blocks are $20, but i'd be willing to get the Blocks if the mics are far ahead of the k20i
Unfortunately no, I can’t do side by side but I think they’re either similar or better on K20i
@namedkenn thanks for taking time to reply! I might be getting the k20i's, as my impression from different mic tests from other videos is they sound quite similar.
What can you say is the best among the Block, K20i, and Soundpeats Air2?
I’ll get Block 😁 better sound than everything and acceptable for the rest of the stuff, otherwise the K20i is also a good all-rounder choice, both an upgrade to the Air2
@@namedkenn thank you Kenneth. I’m deciding between the block and k20i and this helped a lot 🙏
Does it sound better than soundcore k20i??
Absolutely haha
Would you buy the Moondrop Block or the Soundcore K20i?
Listening with my Moondrop Block ✨🙉
Enjoy!
Hope you can compare it with Huawei Freebuds SE2. It's on sale locally here for $16 usd
Kenn! Please review the edifier stax spirit s10!! 😭 I want to know what you think about them. I really want them. I want to know if they are as good as I imagine.
Haha yeah I’ll see what I can do! Cause for some reason Edifier is skipping my emails 😂
Hello, would you recommend the air 4 pro or space travel for mostly sound quality and anc? I listen to rap music, don toliver and travis scott type, not like j cole or kendrick lamar.
If we're talking Soundpeats Air4 Pro I don't think I'll recommend it anymore (and it's much more expensive too), but taking a look at your music genre maybe you might wanna check out Soundpeats Capsule 3 Pro+?
Space travel works too haha at a much cheaper price (the alt Soundpeats Clear doesn't have ANC)
@@namedkenn the air 4 pro in my country is only $35 (with coupons) but the capsule pro plus is almost double that at $75. The qcy melobuds is about $45 though and seems good. What would you recommend?
Hm, no multipoint? I really do need that - I really want a 1-1.5jt TWS with multipoint, decent sound, and decent ANC + Transparency (so I don't need to mess around with volume). Soundcore r50i NC wasn't it, unfortunately it's worse than the Space A40 I was replacing, so I was hoping a Moondrop TWS could be that.
Haha well it’s a basic 300k earbuds afterall
If your budget is at that range I believe the Earfun Air Pro 4 would fit the bill perfectly! My video here ua-cam.com/video/hv-CP1fXLUA/v-deo.htmlsi=nAVRrY4vEm0c8Lr7
@@namedkenn Yeah going from Space A40, to a temporarily borrowed A20i, to r50i NC really screwed my expectations and standards. I'll take a look at that, after I finished your video on budget headphones and looked them all up. I am just watching through all your videos, haha.
I'm looking for something neutral and comfy overall, because the r50i NC shape and sound profile just tires me quickly. The block seemed promising with its shape but lack of multipoint is no-go, I need it for quick switching between devices. Honestly, I'm just looking for a Samson SR850 but wireless and multipoint at this point because I loved everything about it, but I might be being unreasonable lol
Huh aren't the speaker blocked as soon as you put them in ears ?
Well they sound great, that’s all I can share 😆
do these actually fit? like the only earbuds that stay in my ears are airpods gen 2 and the new airpods 4. these look massive!
Yeah it fits better than most airpods-style buds, at least for me (airpods always fall off on my left ear especially) but I'm curious about the newer 3rd/4th gen too!
Are you having that hi res codec on apple music due to these headphones or iphone?
Pay it no mind I just have it always on with downloaded music as default, but thru bluetooth and codec conversion (SBC/AAC) you won’t be able to stream lossless
Honestly tho I can’t really hear the difference ✌🏻
Thank you very much! Kenneth Tanaka.
You are very welcome!
Can I use them with ipads and iphones
Hi Ken, what about the loudness? Is it similar to Space Travel?
No this is actually quite loud 👍🏻
abang kenneth memasak content as always!
Hahah thanks so much as always man 🤜🏻
Google fast pair ? or does it auto connect when taking out
No google fast pair but yes it auto connect when you take it out
Hello Bro Kenneth,
Could you please provide a score between 0 and 10 for the phone call mic quality on the Moondrop Block TWS, along with valid reasons for your rating?
Thank you Brother 🙏🙂👍
I would say around 6 haha it’s not too good but still passing mark, I would rate the K20i the same as well
But then that’s in the grand scheme of things, because for $20 buds like this most of the mic is unusable haha
@@namedkenn which half ear has the best mic?
Can i charge space travel with block case?
No you can’t
Yo random but would really appreciate if you could tell me if i should get the cmf buds pro2 or samsung buds 2 pro.
how is this compared to the space travel
I avoid comparing in-ear to half in-ears cause the former will definitely sound better due to the passive seal, but as far as half in-ear is concerned the BLOCK is the best sound I've heard so far
Hello, can somebody tell me how long the battery lasts, including the charging case? And also does it fit well in smaller ears? Thanks!
He says it in the video?? 6 hrs
My Moondrop Block sound sooooo different than any other half in ears I have owned!
Which one is overall better, space travel or block?
Haha I should’ve addressed this in the video, these two are totally different buds catered to different needs
Better sound, isolation and ANC = Space Travel
Open fit so you can hear around you = Block
Please review Haylou X1C. 7 USD and good sound, with good bass. Has 5 stars from scarbir.
Bro suggest Best earbud under 25$ Best nc/anc and Good Bass
Are you doing Soundpeats capsule 3 pro plus?
Well I was told that they’re sending me one but nothing so far, so all I could do is an impressions short vid during my time testing in SIAS 2024
Does it have an ANC feature?
No no this is a basic half open earbuds
Hi bro please give me advice should I buy poco f6 pro or poco x6 pro in term of gaming???
F6 Pro is superior for sure if you got the budget!
Is it on equal terms with buds 2 pro?
Buds 2 Pro from Samsung? No no this doesn’t have any of the features, but also the price is so much cheaper
The Earfun Air Pro 4 will give the Buds 2 Pro a run for its money instead ua-cam.com/video/hv-CP1fXLUA/v-deo.htmlsi=q-PgEbYgJLoFgxjq
Guys what is the best audio experience I can get for the cheapest price. Like Iems, earphones, earbuds or headphones, wired or wireless, doesn't matter.
I want to experience audio at it's best, not bad heavy but like an audiophile, I don't have a huge budget, so from 10-20 dollars, what can I get.
I listened to kz and cca iems from my friend and I fell in love, with how much details of instruments were present in my favourite songs that I hadn't heard before
For wired earbuds try KGIS P1 or Vido. Can't get more dirt cheap than those two. I used the for my daily commute.
Haha that’s great, CCA CRA is one good option, but you can also try Tanchjim Zero (or its upgrade the Bunny), Truthear Gate is also a solid option, and on Moondrop we got Chu 2
Some options you can try and pick which one suits your tastes best!
@@namedkenn can you also mention one or two wireless options, please!
@@namedkenn going with Chu 2, thank you!
Hi Selamat Malam,
I want to ask about ENC or Noise cancellation for meeting call.
1. Its need using APP to active the Feature? and not work when connect with laptop?
2. What score do you apply between 1 - 10.?
3. Any other Recommendation for ENC / Mic for Meeting call using laptop? *~Rp 400rb if any
ENC is automatically used for the mic, this little guy would be 6 out of 10 so just passing score haha but that’s good enough at this price
Unfortunately at this price point nothing is super super good, you’ll just have to increase the budget to at least the Soundcore Liberty 4 NC at 1jt
the problem with lidless is mainly the dirt, fluff, dust... specially for an earbud
Very valid points, although I think it came back to user preference since I like this form factor since waay back in the days with QCY T1
tws guy! thanks kenneth!
Thanks for stopping by as well 🙌🏻
Does it leak sound?
As with any half in-ear above 70% your immediate surrounding may hear what you're listening to, keep in mind that this is half-open ear fit basically
Moon drop space travel or block?
I’ll default to space travel, unless you want half in-ear
Gimana perbandingannya dibanding soudpeats engine 4 bang?
Yang itu saingannya sama MOCA kak, nanti saya compare di reviewnya ya 😆
@@namedkenn Siappp, thank you bang
I got space travel but they hurt my ears. Guess I should keep to galaxy buds
does this have ANC??
No it doesn't
шумодав отключается? из-за шумоподавления звук микрофона ужасен. Типичная проблема.
There is no option to turn off, but I took the recording straight off the camera so the volume might be off compared to the edited part
this or k20i?
I'll go with this one
In a semi-noisy surrounding, I can't hear this one tho. 😅😅 As in- AT ALL. So far, K20i is better for me but for indoor use, this one is better.
Interesting cause this thing gets very loud no? But yeah this is mostly for more quiet places where you want to hear your surroundings
