Moondrop Pill Open Ear Headphones Bluetooth 6.0 OWS Hanging Earphones IPX4 Open Ear Clip Wireless Earbuds Built-in AI ENC MD-0WS-003 (Black)

These earbuds are fantastic! Amazon prime delivery was fast and as expected. They sound really good, to the connection was fast and easy. Call quality could be slightly better but no one was complaining when I used them for a phone call. They are very comfortable. I can wear them all day with no ear fatigue. Battery life is great as well. they last me through my entire work shift. The app is a little bit confusing but once you figure it out it's not so bad. Overall, these are a great buy for the money.

The media could not be loaded. I've split this review into the three sections I find most important: Design, App, and Sound. Feel free to gloss over any section you don't care about.DesignThe most glaring part of the Moondrop Pill's design is its case. After seeing it in person, I can confirm that while the opening mechanism is a gimmick and annoying to use, it looks sick. It isn't as fun to fidget with as I thought it would be, as the lid doesn't lock into place very securely. The case does have a lanyard hole, and the LED next to the USB-C port is white when not in use and red when charging. The case's magnets, however, are quite strong and hold the buds in well, so I wouldn't expect them to fall out if the case opens in your bag. While not unbelievably big, the case is slightly larger than my AirPods Pro (Gen 2) case that has its own protective case on it.As for the earbuds themselves, they are lightweight, comfortable, and secure enough for an active lifestyle—they're actually more secure in my ears than my AirPods Pro. The touch controls work well, though I disliked the default settings. Thankfully, they can be easily reconfigured in the Moondrop app by clicking on the image of the earbuds.The AppConnecting the buds to the Moondrop app is an absolute pain. I've always managed to get them to connect eventually, but it often requires disconnecting and reconnecting them from my phone's Bluetooth settings repeatedly. The good news is you really only need to do this once to configure your settings and check for firmware updates. The app is definitely a weak point for these earbuds; I highly recommend downloading it before you buy to see what you're getting into.SoundBefore I get into sound quality, I have to mention the voice prompts. Every time you connect, a cute voice says "connected," and when you disconnect, it says "disconnected" followed by a "dun da dun." I still haven't decided if it's cute or annoying, but it's certainly a choice.Getting to the actual sound: it's nothing special. These sound like budget earbuds. I'd say they're comparable to my Truthear Gate IEMs, though slightly worse. I suppose their sound is considered more impressive given their open-ear design, but they can't compete with my AirPods Pro (Gen 2), lacking their overall clarity and detail.Out of the box, I found the midrange to be overly boosted, but changing the EQ preset to "Bass+" in the app solved that for me. Even with that preset, however, the bass is still quite light. The buds also tend to struggle with complex tracks that have a lot going on, often sounding distorted.Final ThoughtsFor the price, the Moondrop Pill is an interesting proposition. I don't regret buying them and will likely use them for runs, replacing my AirPods Pro for activities where a secure fit is paramount. However, I doubt I'll use them for much else, as they don't sound great and leak a lot of audio due to their open design.I bought them mostly because I love interesting designs, and these definitely stand out. I'm rating them four out of five stars, subtracting one for the gimmicky case and the poorly designed app.

These stay connected a bit better than the other clip-on earbuds that I've tried, however battery life (actual playtime around 3.5hrs) is pretty short for a modern earbud. the biggest issue to me is very YMMV in that it is too small and pinches/squeezes (helix/antihelix) even at the smallest part of my ear. Sound is very source and EQ setting dependent, any volume under high gain is blocked out by ambient noise level, as there is next to no sound isolation, which is expected (to a degree) with the open-ear design, but exacerbated by the small size, resulting in improper fit. Better than the Baseus models for connectivity and app control, but lower volume and low-end Bass response. A little bigger size on the clip would help sound placement and fit. My last grip is regarding the touch controls, which are pretty awful (laggy, unresponsive, and hard to confirm); outside of pausing the sound, it is very difficult to do anything from the bud itself. Pretty disappointing overall as I really had to hold the clip closer to my ear to get decent sound. Sound out of the box isn't terrible and both the generic EQ presets and the multiband parametric DSP settings offer variety (if not great control).

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Awesome very impressive and inexpensive 👍Comfort:Very comfortable Sound quality:Very clear and good as sound quality

It’s a really nice pair of earbuds but definitely not for everyone. Battery is good, sounds great and has good range. Functionality is ok for the case but has its issues with rotating. At first it worked fine but after a couple of weeks it doesn’t spin at the same time as you rotate the knob leaving them exposed a lot. You can kinda see it on the second picture.

So, I was surprised at how good these sound. I'm kinda a fan of moondrop products. I think they provide a good value for your money, and you get an above average product.My wife has lots of ear piercings, and she has a hard time with traditional headphones, and earbuds, because they push on her piercings. But, she said these were the most comfortable earbuds/headphones she has worn in ages, and she was excited to sit down and listen - and not worry about the pain.I bought them for me, but I don't know, I couldn't get them to fit me well. I wonder if moondrop sells like silicone sleeves to make them slightly bigger.

Anyone's bud not charging? I've cleaned both case and buds but the left isn't charging.

I like the vocalsOpen ear so bass is soft.comfortablesound varies with fit.for the price of $50 the are worth it unless you already have open earbuds.
