MoonDrop Golden Ages 1979 True Wireless Earbuds - HiFi Bluetooth 5.0 Earbuds with ANC, 30H Playtime - Perfect for Commuting, Workouts & Travel

Golden Age of Quest for Pure Sound Retro-theme Design x Next-generation Pure Sound Technology

The iconic Walkman made its debut in 1979, ushering in a new audio era and a brand-new music scene. Since then, almost all developments in portable music devices have concentrated on improving sound quality. The emergence of TWS has changed all this, and convenience and functionality have become the top priority at the cost of sound quality. MOONDROP's mission has always been the pursuit of sound quality through technology R&D. Innovation in the transducer unit, the core of headphone technology.
Creation of new possibilities through technological innovation. Integration with brand-new flagship domestic wireless audio SOC chips. The Result = Functionality + Convenience + Sound Quality!

13mm Circular Dual-Suspension Planar Driver

A powerful core is the foundation of earphone sound quality and determines the upper limit of earphone performance. The bottleneck in the sound quality of TWS is no longer loss in wireless transmission. Lossless HD transmission protocols such as LDAC have already fully met the requirements of TWS hardware performance.
The real sound quality bottleneck of TWS is a series of problems caused by the limitation of stacking size: low power requirements caused by battery size, insufficient performance and thrust of audio circuits caused by low power consumption, and insufficient performance caused by driver thickness, etc. All are significant shortcomings that limit the sound quality of TWS.

True Hi-Fi ANC TWS

Superlinear Full-frequency Double-suspension Annular 13mm Planar Magnetic Driver
Patented Transducer Driver Designed Developed by the Founder of MOONDROP
A newly designed 13mm planar magnetic driver with an annular magnetic circuit and annular diaphragm, in conjunction with a magnetic circuit array composed of several N55 high-performance neodymium magnets, together with an annular tiled driving circuit, delivers an effective driving range much larger than that of a dynamic driver, and greatly reduces distortion through its innovative double suspension system, further reducing split vibration by adding a rigid equalizing structure, thus achieving amazing performance that is perfect for TWS.

4x the energy conversion efficiency of a similar-sized dynamic driver.
10x the energy conversion efficiency of a 14.5mm planar driver.
Nonlinear distortion is much lower than that of a similar-sized planar driver.
Greater dynamics even at lower power. Lower distortion even under greater dynamics.

Committed to the Unremitting Pursuit of Sound Quality Superb Sound Reproduction Enjoyable Listening Experience

The super-linear full-frequency planar magnetic driver combined with the brand-new high-thrust flagship chip results in a significant improvement in hardware quality. Sound reproduction and the listening experience are fully optimized through physical adjustment and fine-tuning with powerful DSP.
Through the collaborative efforts of the MOONDROP R&D department with its advanced electroacoustic testing environment, and the meticulous tuning carried out by highly skilled audio professionals, Golden Ages delivers the uncompromising sound quality that has always been the goal of MOONDROP.

Golden Ages has frequency response characteristics in line with the VDSF Target Response, which shows clear imaging and smooth, natural timbre. Thanks to the enhanced dynamic driver and further upgraded software and hardware architecture, Golden Ages achieves excellent nonlinear distortion. Even if the audio chain is measured all the way from wireless transmission through chip decoding to earphone playback, full-frequency total harmonic distortion (THD) is lower than 0.1%, thus allowing users to experience HiFi-level quality with this cost-effective TWS.

LC3 (Standard) Low-latency High-definition Audio Transport Protocol

The LC3 encoding and decoding protocol supporting the new generation Bluetooth LE Audio, when paired with devices that are also compatible with standard LC3, achieves not only much lower latency than traditional Bluetooth but also excellent high-fidelity signal transmission.

LDAC High-definition Lossless Audio Transmission Protocol

Golden Ages supports the widely used LDAC high-definition lossless audio transmission protocol, which can transmit 24 bits/96 kHz at bit rates as high as 990kbps, thus fully meeting the dynamic range and broadband requirements of the hardware.
*In LDAC, the power consumption may naturally increase and the battery-life be shortened, the connection might be unstable, truncated or intermittent depending on the different devices, in case of this problem, please switch to AAC or LC3.

55ms Low-latency Game Mode: Music / Game Mode Switching

Golden Ages allows easy switching of dual connection modes under ordinary Bluetooth (AAC/SBC). In addition to the music mode, users can switch to game mode by tapping the faceplate four times. In game mode, the signal transmission latency is as low as 55ms, providing a more satisfying game experience.
The 55ms latency is the official specification of the SOC chip, and may differ according to environmental interference and connected equipment.

Single Feedforward with Lossless Sound Quality

In order to achieve deep noise cancelation, most ANC TWS on the market adopt a hybrid feedforward-feedback scheme. However, the noise collected by the feedback microphone in the front cavity can cause loss of bass, which cannot be completely resolved even by a compensation algorithm.
In order to ensure that the sound quality will not be affected when switching noise reduction, Golden Ages abandons feedback noise cancelation, adopting a single feedforward solution that is more difficult to adjust.
After repeated tuning and careful adjustment by skilled acoustic engineers, the combination of a brand-new flagship SOC ship and superior acoustic design achieves a noise reduction depth of 44dB and broadband ANC with a 10kHz bandwidth, with excellent noise-canceling effect and lossless quality.

Ambient Sound Transparency Mode

The new improved transparency mode is fine-tuned to focus more on surrounding details and the reproduction of the human voice.

BASS Control+

Easy Switching of Three Bass Tunings
Using the MOONDROP Link APP, users can select one of Three bass tunings

• Monitor
• Reference
• Warm

Three bass tunings and users can set their preferred bass tuning style.

MOONDROP Link 2.0

The newly upgraded version of MOONDROP Link 2.0 has a simpler and more intuitive operation interface, and more comprehensive function support for MOONDROP products. Download MOONDROP Link 2.0 to customize Golden Ages touch operation and switch tunings.
Golden Ages can turn on/turn off the ANC mode, adjust the switching on the smarphone through APP 2.0; it also allows to turn off the "transparent transmission mode" when there is no request, thus it doesn't participate in mode switching.
