Moondrop Golden Ages: 1979 Planar LDAC TWS | Full Review & Comparison

This is a review of the Moondrop Golden Ages: 1979, a noise-canceling True Wireless Stereo (TWS) IEM from Moondrop. It features a 13mm planar magnetic driver and supports LDAC and LC3.

Update 1: I used them continuously for 3 hours and 45 minutes with LDAC (optimized for sound quality) and ANC on before the battery ran out.

Update 2: I've shared some screenshots of the Moondrop Link 2.0 app in the community section of the channel.
