moondrop posted pictures of this iem a while back on weibo, when it was first in production. it looked massive tbh, a lot bigger than something like sony's wf-1000xm3.

i'm pretty sure it won't have anc, if i recall correctly from a conversation on the shenzhen audio discord a while back, and it might be tuned like a 'wireless kato'.

as with any new release, it's all about pricing! moondrop has to price this well to compete - the tws market around 100-200USD is very good, with products like the new galaxy buds and final audio's tws lineup.

If they price at more than 100 USD, it wont sell well. Compare to Samsung Buds 2 Pro...the Moondrop is just over price Sony Xm3 with no ANC

I don't think they're going to try to sell tons of them I think it's going to be a more niche high margin product. This is not competing for a lot of the same years as people that will buy the Galaxy buds pro 2.

I guarantee you this will be expensive and high margin, and it won't sell a lot but they'll make a fair amount of each sale.

The value proposition for these are not going to be appealing to people that are shopping between stuff like Sony or apple or 1more.

Personally, I won't buy them in all likelihood but I understand the business model they're going for. I value active noise cancellation, price to performance, app support.

Although I think the Galaxy buds pro 2 have been pretty disappointing. Samsung has a lot of loyal Samsung users that pretty much buy anything they release. That does a lot of heavy lifting for them.

Well yes, but actually no. Samsung have never disappointed me with any of their products. Unlike Sony and Apple
