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

11:01The 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.
49:07The reviewer finds the Moondrop Sparks to be a solid true wireless IEM with good fit, comfort, and battery life, but notes the case is bulky and rubberized, the aesthetic is not to his taste, and the sound, while good, doesn't surpass his favorites like the Galaxy Buds Plus. He gives it a score of 7 out of 10.
17:48The reviewer finds the Moondrop Sparks to be a unique and well-tuned TWS for enthusiasts, with a relaxed, musical sound signature close to the IEF target, though it lacks some features and has a few ergonomic quirks. It is recommended for those prioritizing sound quality over features, but not for bass lovers or vocal purists.
15:11The 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.
