REVIEW: The $50 Moondrop Moca TWS sounds better than the Moondrop Space Travel and MeloBuds Pro, and has strong ANC too. Sadly, something's wrong.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Moondrop Moca is a budget-friendly true wireless earbud that delivers a balanced, detailed sound signature and surprisingly capable hybrid active noise cancellation for its price. It offers practical extras like wireless charging, touch controls, and a companion app with a custom EQ, all wrapped in a lightweight, comfortable fit. While early firmware issues affected call quality, recent updates have improved stability, making it a strong value pick in the sub-$60 segment.

What works

  • Balanced, detailed sound for the price
  • Strong hybrid ANC performance
  • Comfortable and lightweight fit
  • Wireless charging and USB-C support
  • Useful app with custom EQ

What doesn't

  • Call quality can be inconsistent
  • No multipoint connection
  • No water resistance rating
  • Battery life is modest with ANC on

The Moondrop Moca is comfortable to wear, has wireless charging and surprisingly strong Active Noise Cancelling. It's also the most balanced sounding wireless earphone around 50 dollars near the end of 2024. Since the release, it also has been a very troubled earphone, however. Different firmware updates completely broke the microphones for phone calls, let in a buzzing sound in one of the earbuds, or made the earbuds jump connections between two connected devices. Since firmware update 1.2.5, things are looking better for the Moondrop Moca again - and we’re at a point this earphone can now be called good , despite their first months of problems.

Moondrop Moca Earbuds : It's What's On The Inside!

Gamesky26.7K viewsOct 2024

The reviewer finds the Moondrop Moca earbuds to be a solid budget option that excels in sound quality and features like wireless charging and LE Audio, despite a cheap-feeling build and average noise cancelling. They recommend using the app's Solace EQ and high gain to get the best audio experience, and note the volume is lower than expected. Overall, it's a good value for the price, especially for those who prioritize sound over premium materials.

Moondrop Moca: The Retro-Style TWS to Get?

zpolt5.3K viewsNov 2024

The reviewer finds the Moondrop Moca to be a unique and well-built TWS with a retro Game Boy-inspired design. The sound is balanced, clean, and controlled with good separation, though it lacks deep bass and body, and micro-details are just okay. At $42, the reviewer considers it a good value for those who appreciate a more enthusiast-tuned, balanced presentation and vintage aesthetics.

Does not charge, sound is scratchy

Left these in case over night after repeatedly making sure the case was fully charged, woke up to them at 80%, which dropped to 30% after about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, sound was good until it hit aRead more
