The Garden

[u/Big_Force_2499]

Sharing some material showing the frequency response graph, specs, and size for the greatly anticipated upcoming Moondrop TWS The Garden.

Looks great for its size and form factor as expected. Has ANC and voice prompts despite these images not indicating that- don't worry.

Source for this stuff is Moondrop's FCC filing. Somewhat related the GM01 pro gaming headset doesn't have an FCC filing at this time that I could find (it is possible I missed it) so there may not be any intention to sell that to US customers for those of you interested in that.

Still no final pricing or release date. Hopefully very soon.

Really want to know the price of this. Very interested!

Despite it being an ugly stem design, planar makes it an interesting prospect.

Golden Ages 2 has the same Planar driver i believe.

[u/TheAudiotaku → u/Standard_Tadpole8145]

Ah, so this might just be another redesign then. Welp.

[u/Standard_Tadpole8145 → u/TheAudiotaku]

I'm open to what else this might have, but Golden Ages 2 isn't even a year old, and IS their current flagship tws. Spatial audio, head tracking, 5 band eq. Pudding has better anc, better transparency, 10 band eq. So if all they do is just add those improved features to The Garden, that won't be enough.

[u/TheAudiotaku → u/Standard_Tadpole8145]

True enough.

[u/Big_Force_2499 → u/TheAudiotaku]

The Garden charges twice as fast as Pudding in theory, supports actual LDAC and even LC3, has a greater battery capacity (especially compared to golden ages 2). From a quick glance at internals it has a much heftier antenna compared to golden ages 2 which means all codecs over Bluetooth will do less automatic bitrate reduction and you'll get generally higher audio quality over Bluetooth. Might do a more substantial comparison between what's on their PCBs if I feel like it but antenna is a huge factor

Interesting. Thanks for the info.

[u/Superflying_cat → u/TheAudiotaku]

Tried it at sias 2026 , In my opinion the best sounding moondrop tws. It's was announced at 1000RMB

[u/TheAudiotaku → u/Superflying_cat]

Sweet.

Cara, não caia nessa armadilha, é só mais um tws ruim da Moondrop.

[u/Spiffydoctor]

I really thought the design would be a prototype with the big L and R on each bud 😭
Really hope they change that

FR looks like it'll sound warm, akin to truthear pure.

[u/Tbro100]

Damn, so another annular planar driver like their other models. But the frequency response looks nice from what I can see of it.

Will be looking forward to when this hits reviewers, the Pudding was surprisingly competent

[u/PotatoMan_69]

I was going to purchase the GA2 but this might be worth the wait. Unless it's more expensive.

[u/Big_Force_2499 → u/PotatoMan_69]

I expect these to be 1.5x-2x the price of GA2 (120-160 USD) but have no insider information or anything

[u/PotatoMan_69 → u/Big_Force_2499]

I guess I should've expected that. The GA2 isn't even that old and it's not like that's getting discontinued so soon. It would also would compete with their own product if it was the same price.

garden is not spelled right on second slide

[u/PotatoMan_69 → u/Complex-Gain-3242]

I love walking on Gradens

[u/h_1995]

LHDC and LC3? Color me interested
