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

Wow! How are these **earbuds** just $49.99? I'm not overselling this—it's an absolute steal. These are easily some of the **best-sounding and most comfortable earbuds** I've ever used. The **Moondrop Pill** delivers excellent sound, is incredibly comfortable, and can genuinely be considered **audiophile-grade wireless earbuds**. I don't say that lightly, especially as a proud owner of numerous premium headphones and IEMs. The Moondrop Pill might be exactly what you're looking for if you want to bridge the gap between typical earbuds and superior audio. They're just that good! I recently bought other **open-ear earbuds** just to try out the trend. While they were all fairly decent, none quite fit what I was truly looking for. The **clip-on open-ear design** of the Moondrop Pill is perfect. They're comfortable and fit my small ears perfectly. They don't sit directly in your ear canal; instead, they rest just outside it, making them ideal for anyone with sensitive or narrow ear canals. The greatest benefit of this design is that it allows you to still hear **exterior sound**, which was crucial for me, as I need to be aware of my surroundings at work. The Moondrop Pill delivered on this. However, what other open-ear earbuds lacked, and what I desperately needed, was **great sound**—not just decent sound, but _great_ sound. I needed something that could truly deliver the impact of whatever genre of music I was listening to. And let me tell you, the Moondrop Pill does not disappoint in that department at all. The design is unique, especially the **case**, which is typical for Moondrop's wireless earbud options. I purchased the white variation, and the white/red capsule looks like a large pill. Its **clear, see-through aesthetic** is cool, and opening it is easy. I've had no problem carrying it in my pocket, though I'd be hesitant to put it in a pocket with keys, fearing they might scratch the capsule's surface. It's smooth and unobtrusive. A nifty feature allows you to charge either earbud in either slot of the case, which is a nice touch and convenient when you're in a hurry or just need a quick charge without fumbling to find the correct side. I was introduced to Moondrop through their IEMs, and they all had a specific tuning that suited the various genres I listen to. I listen to a mixed bag of everything: R&B, classical, classic rock, soul, and more. The **Moondrop Pill easily adapts to all of these genres** remarkably well. While the sound quality won't match a premium IEM or headphone, it performs extremely well for an open-ear earbud. The overall sound is **balanced, vocals are clear, and surprisingly for an open-ear clip-on earbud, the bass is really good**. I had no trouble getting a good bass response from these earbuds—much better than other open-ear options in this price range. I also found that it adapted the bass well to whatever type of music I was listening to. There's a **firmware update** available, at least from when I purchased it about a month ago. You can update by downloading the **Moondrop Link App**, where you can also **customize the EQ** of the Pill. Additionally, there's **PEQ support**, which is amazing for accessing shareable tunings from the community. Another interesting feature is the ability to enable **Multipoint**, allowing simultaneous Bluetooth use across at least two connected devices. At this price point, this deal is hard to pass up. If you're looking for **open-ear wireless earbuds** with **great sound, extreme comfort, and environmental awareness** due to their lack of sound isolation, the Moondrop Pill will be the perfect fit.

They feel nice quality. Haven't had any problems. The connecting voice is a bit annoying though.

Love them.

Ich mag eigentlich keine In-Ears. Das Tragegefühl prinzipiell, dann passen mir die meisten passen nicht richtig. Einerseits drücken sie nach kurzer Zeit, und raus fallen sie sobald man sich etwas rührt sowieso. Earbuds klingen dann wieder bescheiden (und halten noch schlechter), wobei mich die Moondrop BLOCK, zumal für den Preis, schon beeindruckt haben. Die PILL allerdings ... Die Klammer hält, egal was, auch Brille kein Problem. Minimales Drücken nach 4–6 h, das halten sie auch Akku-technisch leicht durch. Klangqualität auch für Musik echt in Ordnung, obwohl sie in meinen Ohren nicht perfekt sitzen. Audiophil sind sie nicht, aber dass ich sie mehr oder weniger den ganzen (Arbeits-)Tag drinlassen kann, ist Gold wert.

The MOONDROP Pill clip-on earbuds are certainly a unique entry in the ever-evolving open-ear market. While they bring MOONDROP’s usual flair for design and affordability, the experience feels more lifestyle than audiophile. Design & Build Quality The build is solid for the price point, and the design is lightweight with a sleek aesthetic. I picked up the black pair, but the more colourful options arguably show off the look better. The clip mechanism feels sturdy without being uncomfortable. Ease of Use & Fit As a first-time clip-on earbud user, I found the fit unintuitive at first. I wasn’t sure whether to seat the bud deeper into the canal or leave it slightly outside. After some experimenting, I found a comfortable balance, but the learning curve may frustrate new users. Sound Quality Here’s where the Pill didn’t quite land for me. The soundstage felt a bit underwhelming, and while MOONDROP provides a decent EQ suite (including DSP community submissions and presets like Reference and Bass+), I personally couldn’t warm to the overall tuning. That said, MOONDROP has a reputation for solid sound in their IEMs, so different ears may have a better experience. Features & Tech The Pill includes ENC, which works reasonably well but won’t compete with higher-end solutions. The MOONDROP app is a highlight, offering firmware updates, EQ customisation, and community tunings. Controls are handled via touch sensors on the back of the clip — intuitive once you get used to them, though easy to mis-trigger. Battery Life & Charging Battery life is ample for day-to-day use, and the case feels solid enough for pocket carry. Charging is straightforward and reliable. Value for Money At this price, MOONDROP delivers a product that blends style with function. As an audiophile-grade device, it falls short — there are better-sounding alternatives around. But as a casual, open-ear lifestyle product, it holds its own. Verdict The MOONDROP Pill is an interesting take on open-ear listening, but not a perfect one. If you’re after convenience and a unique design, it may be worth a try. If sound quality is your top priority, you’ll likely find better options if you're willing to pay the premium they demand.
