Moondrop has recently unveiled a new true wireless stereo (TWS) earphone called “Block.” What sets the Block apart from other TWS options on the market is its conventional design that forgoes the use of eartips. Unlike many of its competitors, which typically feature in-ear designs with silicone or foam eartips for a snug fit, the Moondrop Block opts for a more traditional earbud style. This makes it an interesting choice for those who prefer a simpler, more open feel when listening to music.
The Block is equipped with 13mm drivers, specifically designed to enhance bass performance even without the use of foam covers. The bass tuning is precisely calibrated using the Brüel & Kjær Type 5128 High-frequency Head and Torso Simulator (HF HATS), ensuring optimal audio quality. This focus on bass performance ensures that users still get a rich, full sound despite the open design.
In addition to its audio capabilities, the Moondrop Block features dual beamforming microphones that effectively separate your voice from background noise, ensuring clear calls even in noisy environments. The earbuds also include touch controls that allow users to easily switch between modes, including a Gaming Mode that reduces latency to as low as 55 ms, providing better audio synchronization during gameplay, all facilitated by Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.
Moreover, the Moondrop Block offers flexibility with its ability to be used in either stereo or mono mode, catering to different listening preferences. The battery life is another strong point, with the earbuds offering up to six hours of continuous use, and the accompanying charging case providing an additional 15 hours of power, ensuring that your music or calls can go on for as long as you need.
Moondrop’s release of the Block reflects the company’s commitment to offering diverse options to meet the varying preferences of audio enthusiasts. By introducing a TWS earphone with a conventional, eartip-free design, Moondrop is providing an alternative for users who prioritize comfort and simplicity in their listening experience. As the Block enters the market, it will be interesting to see how it is received by both existing Moondrop fans and new users alike.
