Review: The Moondrop Sparks is an outstanding sounding TWS under $100. Test vs Samsung Galaxy Buds+, Sennheiser CX 400BT, Edifier TWS1 Pro.

The HearWiki takeAI-condensed

The Moondrop Sparks are an audiophile-oriented true wireless earphone with a compact 6 mm beryllium-coated dynamic driver, offering a balanced and smooth sound signature with good clarity. They provide solid battery life and support high-quality codecs, though they lack ANC, water resistance, and multipoint connectivity, and their fit and build quality may not appeal to everyone.

What works

  • Balanced, smooth sound with good clarity
  • Strong battery life (8 hours, 48 with case)
  • Supports aptX Adaptive and other high-quality codecs
  • Comfortable and lightweight design
  • Useful app support

What doesn't

  • No active noise cancellation or water resistance
  • Reduced treble detail
  • Fit and appearance in ear may be awkward
  • Build quality and case experience could be better

The Sparks are presented as a good-sounding pair with strong connectivity and respectable battery life. The review is more critical of build quality and the overall accessory/case experience than of the sound itself.

While the Moondrop Sparks has great battery life, its look in your ears is questionable, and it lacks basic features like a waterproof rating or good call quality. It makes up for it with great sound quality, that balances brilliantly between smoothness and clarity. The Moondrop Sparks is a musical feast.

EL JEFE REVIEWS21.9K viewsJul 2021

The reviewer finds the Moondrop Sparks to be excellent-sounding true wireless earbuds with a clean, well-balanced signature, strong bass, and good detail, but notes significant drawbacks in limited controls, lack of volume control, no IP rating, and a poor companion app. They rank it second among three budget options, behind the Lypertek Z3, but still recommend it for sound quality.

Amazing Clarity! Moondrop Sparks (IEM True Wireless)

Picky Audio10.2K viewsJun 2021

The reviewer finds the Moondrop Sparks to be a unique true wireless earbud that prioritizes a natural, clear, and open sound signature over bass-heavy tuning, which sets it apart from typical competitors. While the sound quality is praised for its clarity and vocal presence, the earbuds lack several features expected at their $90 price point, such as volume controls, an IPX rating, and a functional app. Overall, the reviewer recommends them for audio enthusiasts who value clarity and are willing to compromise on features.
