I got the moondrop space travel for my daughter. Very impressed for the price. I found the calls to sound better than in this video. The looks are unique which I like, they stand out. They are not as big in real life as they might seem in videos. Very comfortable to wear. Sound is pretty balanced with just enough punchy bass. ANC is better than expected. I have Soundcore liberty 4 and I don't feel it's too big of a difference.

[@ReganCipher]

Which model? It's a good point - I try and test calls in scenarios which will test the earbuds as much as possible, because some subscribers in other countries or cities will have more testing environments than many of us. Usually, people will be pleasantly surprised, which is always good 🙌

@@ReganCipher i was able to put in my pockets some of those cheap tws (most of them for even cheaper)... qcy t1, umi w5s, moondrop space travel, tiegrade sk01, plus lately had the luck to buy soundpeats opera 05 for barely 26 euro's here in europe with amaz deals. I have to say that space travel are something just nuts for the price, is crazy how close the are able to sound compared even to opera 05. Is like opera with less bass, less separation and imagin among bass-mids-highs, but is just less dramatic than it seems. With the huge pro's that space does fit wonderfully, instead opera are bit of a mess with stock tips (is not a design problem like explained in many video's, is just a combination of very short stock eartips and congiuntion beetween driver seat and eartips, i solved for the most with akg k321 eartips that i had left in the house since years, and even better with some qkz foam tips that sound on opera like a dream, but those ones are unusable in real life, cause they are so long that they cannot fit anymore into the charging box). But even the fact that space travel are able to even compare to opera is nuts enough to me, considering that those things slaughter 2-3x times priced tws. At this point is clear enough that we are entering on some serious competition, to the point that is useless to waste big money except for a not money sane passion on the tws markets. Back then other tws i've used have some quirks, they sound decent but everytime they lack something big (still eq can help many times, like on my umi w5s that was my dayli for years, or qcy t1), but those days is just crazy how good they sound out of the box, and even better with wavelets with some eq's generated on squiglink. In facts i bought opera casually and i use those at home, but out of home space's are my main tws (even because if i smash them can buy again for so cheap). Really hope that moondrop put out in next years space travels 2 for same price with even better sounds (who knows...maybe ultrasonic for cheaper? like happened with necokake and space's)

How does the sound quality of the Soundpeats Clear compare to the Truefree T3? They both have the ‘see-through’ design.

T3 has less bass. Vocals are more forwards on the T3 and trebles are a bit more rolled off. Clear has a slightly more metallic sound to the treble. I quite like the T3, it's not as energetic as the Clear but it's still a pleasant listen

What would be a better choice for taking voice calls when riding a bike? QCY HT05 or QCY HT07?

[@ReganCipher]

HT05, but HT08 Melobuds Pro is even better

[@zeyn-jt8jn]

Heya, how's the soundstage, imaging and resolution of the ht05 as compared to the moondrop space travel? Planning to pick up the ht05 soon, do you still recommend these or are there better alternatives?

[@ReganCipher]

To be honest, the imaging and resolution are pretty mediocre compared to, for example, a $70 iem like SIMGOT, Kefine etc. Because of the lack of space in TWS due to battery, mics, sensors, chipset etc, it's more difficult to manipulate the sound through airflow. TWS manufacturers also have to add in additional cost for battery, sensors, chipset etc so the drivers tend to be average quality. Moondrop and QCY at least both used LCP DDs here, so the transients are ok and coupled with good tuning, it means you're getting good bang for buck by TWS standards. The vertical staging feels slightly wider on the MST, but you can open the sound up a bit on the HT05 by adjusting the right frequencies in the EQ. You've also got the HT08 Melobuds Pro, which I reviewed since. The ANC is better, the sound is a bit cleaner than the warmer leaning HT05. Again, the staging is a bit more intimate so it still needs a tweak

[@zeyn-jt8jn]

@@ReganCipher Thanks for the prompt and detailed insight. My preferred sound profile is actually warm, so the ht05 seems like a decent overall pick. Any eq suggestions that you may have for it?

Air4 sounds good with ANC off, but the ANC is weak as they're semi-in-ear (original Airpod style). Only get the Air4 if you don't like the feel of silicone tips, otherwise both HT05 and Capsule3 Pro are decent choices just depends on what's most important for you 👍

MST sounds better, p20i is louder and has better battery

[@JMsportscards]

@@ReganCipherAlso for sound quality and bass is the melobuds better than the MST?

[@ReganCipher]

@JMsportscards p20i has the most bass, but it's a bit flabby. MST has the best textured bass and the best balance between subbass and midbass. HT05 and HT08 (the newer, better version) are more midbass than subbass so it won't hit as deep as the MST. HT08 cuts the low midrange to make the bass sound quicker and punchier. Just depends what you like I suppose but I like both MST and QCY depending on which type of music I'm listening to etc

What's battery for soundpeats clear and qcy ht05 anc off?

[@ReganCipher]

About the same - I got average 6h 40 on the HT05, 6h 42 on the Clear. Both drop a little if you make or take calls 👍

[@mickling]

Thanks! Hope I see a full review of the clear on headfi. I feel like HT05 has better sound and more features but the Clear has a better case and design.

[@АндрейГрохольский-х6ы]

I have qcy t17s. Which is better to upgrade to - qcy ht05 or soundpeats clear

[@ReganCipher]

I prefer HT05, because it has ANC and fully customisable controls. The only thing that is not so good about HT05 is the controls can sometimes trigger with a hood or beanie. Otherwise it's superb for the money 👍

[@wikingfaust]

Hey Regan! Which one has the best sound quality (for music) in your opinion between the Clear and the T13 and/or T13 ANC 2? Thanks buddy, I love your reviews, been of great help!

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! The Clear are more balanced - the T13 are quite bassy and the vocals are a bit more set back. Clear are more your typical v-shaped sound, better for energetic genres. I have heard the current batch of the Clear might not be quite as good though, so that's something I would maybe be careful of. The only thing putting me off with the old T13 is their age - they're only BT 5.1 and they'll have been sat in warehouses or on shelves for a while so you might find they don't last as long 👍

Hello, excellent comparative review. I was able to answer important questions. Thanks! I discovered your channel through reddit. Have you already tested the Realme buds air 5 pro? or any other similar from Realme? Does the sound surpass the Moondrop Space Travel and also the QCY HT 05? And, in any case, what is your recommendation for earbuds under 50 dollars, thinking about the best sound? Thanks!

[@ReganCipher]

Thank you! Yes, the Buds Air 5 Pro feature in my upcoming 'Best under $100' video - they're excellent value and better than both the MST and HT05. I'm just waiting for the OnePlus Buds 3 to arrive so I can include them in the video, should be done in the next few weeks 👍

[@bilifoq779]

Hey, Regan! What buds would you choose if you needed six things: 1) Great sound quality, as close to Harman as possible (I don't mind some EQ); 2) Suppression of wind noise in transparency mode (when cycling, for example) - the wind may not be suppressed completely, but just reduced to comfortable level; 3) Transparency mode sounding as natural as possible; 4) Very preferably, controlled transparency with multiple features and modes of work; 5) Very preferably, water resistance; 6) Price as low as possible? AFAIK, Apple's Airpods win in every category except for 6. To the best of my knowledge, the buds that fit this description the best are: 1More PistonBuds Q30 QCY HT05 QCY HT07 If so, which of them is better? If there are any other buds that fit this description, what's their name? I'm looking for a better alternative to my dying Porta Pro. Thank you!

[@ReganCipher]

Sorry for the late reply my friend, just back from holidays! ☀️ So, you picked some pretty decent options there. All three of those are warm-neutral sounding and don't deviate too far from Harman, but the HT05 and Q30 have the edge in terms of the driver quality. Not much to choose between the two of them from a sound perspective. The transparency and wind noise reduction modes, IIRC, are slightly better on the Q30, but the nozzles are a bit bigger on the Q30, meaning you might not get the desired stability when you're out on the bike. My preference would be to have one set for running/cycling and one for everyday use, budget permitting. You could probably get by with the HT05, but a cheap set of open ears, something like the Truefree O1 or EPZ S30, would give you situational awareness and also prolong the life of your everyday set. Something to consider! Thanks again for watching and for reaching out! 🙌

Which is the best? QCY 05 OR SOUNDPEATS CAPSULE 3PRO OR THE SOUNDPEATS AIR 4?

[@ReganCipher]

For sound, I think the HT05 and Air4 are similar in terms of sound quality. HT05 is smoother in vocals and a bit warmer and fuller in the bass. Air4 Pro is cleaner and brighter. Capsule3 Pro is not quite as good - more v-shaped with less in the lower midrange and rolled off trebles. It still sounds nice though. Air4 (non Pro version) is very nice sounding for semi in ear but only with ANC on - if you switch off ANC it sounds bad, and so it shortens the battery life a lot. Capsule3 Pro has the best battery life by far, then HT05. Air4 Pro is the weakest for battery. All three are quite good on calls. Build quality is probably best on Air4 Pro, then Capsule3 Pro, then HT05. ANC is strongest on Air4 Pro. Capsule3 Pro and HT05 are around the same. HT05 has the most customisation (controls, EQ, channel balance, etc). In UK, HT05 is much cheaper than the Soundpeats products. HT05 is half the price of Air4 Pro, but Air4 Pro definitely isn't twice as good

I left the HT05 at my parents house so I don't have access to them to see what my EQ was at the moment but it was a slight deviation on the second one. I actually really like the stock sound as well - they are one of the best out of the box tunings I've ever observed in a budget set. Appreciate the kind comments again!
