Moondrop unveils the Space Travel 2 Ultra (MD-TWS-043), true wireless earbuds that combine patented planar drivers, smart noise cancellation driven by AI, and high-resolution LDAC audio via Bluetooth 6.0. Features include ultra-low distortion, a 55 ms gaming mode, comfortable battery life (up to 7 h with ANC, 24 h with the case), and an app that offers shared equalization profiles. Priced at $39.99, they will be available on the Moondrop store on Amazon and from authorized distributors.
From the first listen, the Space Travel 2 Ultra displays a clear technical signature: an architecture of 13 mm planar magnetic drivers designed by Moondrop, a wireless LDAC-compatible chain for a hi-res stream, and active noise reduction supported by an AI algorithm to better isolate from daily noise. Designed for mobility, they aggregate very low gaming latency, solid endurance, and a mobile app to fine-tune equalization and share settings.
Planar drivers: precision, speed, and tonal coherence
At the heart of these in-ear monitors, Moondrop integrates 13 mm planar magnetic drivers, powered by a ultra-thin CCWA coil and a motor based on N55 magnets. This topology aims for a lively transient response and consistent reproduction across the spectrum, with a total harmonic distortion rate measured at < 0.05 % in the useful band. The dual suspension diaphragm extends the bandwidth for faithful reproduction of micro-information, from firm bass to airy highs.
Smart noise cancellation: silence on the go
The active noise cancellation relies on a feedback system driven by AI. The algorithm analyzes ambient noises in real time to attenuate them more effectively than the previous generation (Space Travel 1 Ultra, according to internal tests). The result: a more stable sound cocoon during commutes, in open spaces, or cafés, without sacrificing quality or signal stability.
High-resolution LDAC audio: every detail counts
Compatible with the LDAC codec, the Space Travel 2 Ultra delivers a high-resolution wireless listening experience, while remaining versatile thanks to AAC and SBC codecs. The Bluetooth 6.0 ensures a robust and efficient connection, ideal for music, podcasts, and video. The benefits manifest in more nuanced textures, better-defined soundstage, and clearer reverberations on demanding recordings.
Ultra-low gaming latency and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity
For streaming and gaming, the 55 ms gaming mode reduces perceived latency, improving audio/video synchronization and responsiveness in gameplay. Whether on smartphone, tablet, or computer, this responsiveness sharpens spatial awareness in FPS, rhythmic accuracy in music games, and viewing comfort of content.
Battery life, comfort, and everyday uses
With ANC activated, each charge offers up to 7 hours of continuous listening, and the case extends the total to around 24 hours. This endurance suits busy days, long commutes, or study sessions. The lightweight ergonomics promote lasting stability in the ear, while touch controls and the mobile app facilitate adjustments across different contexts.
Mobile app and shared equalization
The smartphone app provides access to ready-to-use equalization profiles and settings shared by the community. Users can personalize the curve to their liking—boosting bass for electronic playlists, smoothing the upper mids for long listening sessions—then share their preset. This social dimension accelerates the discovery of sound signatures suited to various genres and use cases.
Designed for travel and leisure
The combination of ANC + LDAC reveals its full value when traveling. On a plane or a ship, noise reduction limits auditory fatigue, while hi-res transmission preserves the detail of recordings. To prepare for your next crossing, draw inspiration from the cruise essentials recommended by experts and this checklist for summer cruises. In terms of style and practicality, opt for elegant travel bags and loose pants for summer travels that maximize comfort. If your getaway takes you to the Pacific, keep in mind the elements to avoid on the beaches of Hawaii for a serene experience.
