Hey Vortex. Just wanted to say that l especially appreciate your reviews because you've mentioned that you are an electronic music fan. I'm 63 and just discovered "chill" electronics in the last few years. My faves currently are Ugress and Sundial Aeon so that gives an idea of where I'm at. Because I'm a fan of the same genre, somewhat at least, l know that if you like something it's probably going to work for my tastes too. So l look forward to your take on stuff especially. Thanks for the work and effort you put into your reviews. Much appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Any comparisons with the Golden Ages in terms of tuning and details? So far these just seem like the same thing with slightly more bass and a weird "here's a case for your case, cause we didn't put a lid on your case" situation. And the Golden Ages are actually cheaper on sale right now, lol. Moondrop's pricing is truly a mystery.
While Golden Ages is good if you are a fan of neutral sound signature. Uktrasonic is better in each and every way. It’s strange, though, that the default tuning is club (btw, Golden Ages doesn’t have this setting) which boosts the bass. Only got to know about this setting until I found out that in order to allow the app (for iOS) to recognize the TWS, I need to get out of my home WiFi first. Thereafter, the app will recognize the TWS, WiFi or not. There are two new tunings for the Uktrasonic as well but reference is my favourite whereby the bass is more controlled and the mids are slightly lifted making this one of the best sounding TWS in my collection. Yeah it’s so good it doesn’t sound like a Bluetooth TWS, more like a very well tuned wired iem.
Thanks you for the review! Can you test how latency actually feels on Windows using the low latency gaming mode? Moondrop explicitly says «The headphones have a 55ms low latency mode», but none of the reviewers mention how it feels in Windows 11 gaming. Do they work as well as the Razer Kraken Kitty v2 BT with 40ms in gaming mode, or does this mode require a special LC3 receiver or something similar, and does it work at all? The only thing I've found are some reviews of Space Traver which also support 55ms in game mode, and they describe that they actually have much higher latency, but they cost 3 times cheaper, so I'm really hoping for Ultrasonic... If it performs as well as the Razer, it will be a truly versatile TWS.
Moondrop Space Travels on gaming mode on Win11 with a Intel ax210 WiFi/BT card have one of the lowest latencies you can get on traditional Bluetooth headset using SBC/AAC Codecs. Around 134ms(very nice for TWS, it's basically the theoretical max you can get with Bluetooth rn). LC3 isn't supported on Windows. There are earphones with lower latency but they use custom wireless dongles (akin to 2.4 GHz dongles) and provide around 80ms of latency. If You have a Nvidia GPU then audio latency would be a bit higher than if you have a AMD GPU, it's a long time Nvidia issue.
That 55/40/70 ms latencies you see advertised do not include the time to transfer data over Bluetooth to the headset. It gives the time from the point the audio data is received by the earphones chipset and the timenit takes the DSP to process it and emit it out of the drivers.
@@Ronaldo-se3ff Thanks for answer :) I don't care so much about actual numbers as I do about feelings. I don't know what the actual latancy of the Razer Kraken Kitty v2 BT is, but in fact I don't feel any latancy in CS2 firing during game mode activation. Without game mode it feels. I'll get my Ultrasonic soon and post a reply on how it feels comparing these headphones in reality.
@@alterx441 okay. Moondrop space travels latency is imperceptible to me in gaming mode but it has high latency when not in gaming mode and it has around 4 hours of battery life with ANC + Gaming mode.

Thanks so much as I really appreciate that! I don't know those artists so I will have a look at those.
@@VortexReviews1 If it's okay to suggest, for Ugress; the songs Stasis 44, Kerosene Veins and Reason to Believe are particular standouts for me.
@@philipm.4738 Cheers for that and you might like the dark and slower psy trance.
@@VortexReviews1 I'll look into it!
@@philipm.4738 Nice 👍
80s/90s sapce staiuon theme coinciding with the new Alien release - need to see!!
They should have put this in the film lol. Also a film I need to watch 👍
Thanks for the video!

Thanks and I don't use Windows 11 and I have not tried the Razer Kraken Kitty V2

moondrop ultrasonic earbuds wireless bluetooth tws 5.3
Indeed fella, I need to add more to the title : D
how would you compare these to the golden ages?
Never tried them.
I wonder how these compare to the Baseus MA10 and the rose technics earfree i3
the microphone sounds terrible for this price range
Never tried either of those and mic is just about acceptable but the gain level can't be to high.
