REVIEW: The Moondrop Pudding is a pair of stemless design earbuds with ANC and a vast amount of EQ-equalization options from the app. Test vs Sony C510, Realme T500 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Buds Core.
The HearWiki takeAI-condensed
The Moondrop Pudding is a budget-friendly stemless TWS earbud that stands out for its extensive EQ customization and lively default sound, making it a playground for audio tinkerers. While it offers adaptive ANC, multipoint, and a solid battery life, its stiff ear tips, sluggish touch controls, and inconsistent noise cancellation hold it back from being a top all-around pick. It's a niche choice for those wanting deep sound personalization under $50 rather than a flawless everyday performer.
What works
- Extensive in-app EQ options for deep sound tailoring
- Lively and engaging out-of-box tuning
- Strong battery life with case, even with ANC on
- Supports LHDC and Bluetooth 6.0 with multipoint
- Transparency mode and touch controls included
What doesn't
- Stiff ear tips reduce comfort and fit security
- Touch controls can feel slow or unresponsive
- ANC performance is inconsistent in real-world use
- No water resistance rating for sweat or light rain

39:56Their best TWS. But... Moondrop Pudding review
The reviewer finds the Moondrop Pudding to be the most sensible true wireless product from Moondrop, offering effective active noise canceling and a 10-band parametric EQ for $50, along with a pocketable case. However, they note significant usability quirks, particularly difficulty removing the earbuds from the case, which could be a deal-breaker for some users. Overall, they are impressed with the features and sound but caution about the ergonomic issues.

10:14Moondrop Pudding is WORTH every penny!
The reviewer finds the Moondrop Pudding to be an excellent value, offering sound quality close to much pricier flagship earbuds, especially after using the app's parametric EQ to tailor the tuning. He praises the improved build, effective adaptive ANC, and long battery life, but notes the microphone is only usable in a pinch and the multi-point connection toggle is cumbersome. Overall, he considers it a no-brainer purchase for the price, with a few minor caveats.

2:24Moondrop Pudding - Minimalist x Diminishing Return at $49.99
The reviewer is impressed with the Moondrop Pudding earbuds, praising their cute minimalist design, compact size, and surprisingly good sound quality with proper bass and a hint of treble sparkle. They note a minor nitpick about treble being slightly dimmed in ANC mode, but overall find the $49.99 price to be excellent value, calling the product annoyingly good.

6:53Moondrop Pudding
The reviewer finds the Moondrop Pudding TWS to have a solid, V-shaped sound with good bass and mids when ANC is off, but notes that the treble is bright and the ANC is weak and negatively alters the sound. They recommend it mainly for those who prefer a round nozzle and plan to use it without ANC, while suggesting alternatives for those wanting strong ANC or more EQ flexibility.
