Which should you choose?
- Prioritize hi-res wireless and spatial audio? Pick Golden Ages 2 for LDAC + LHDC-V and head-tracked spatial modes.
- Need fast gaming response and stronger call noise reduction? Choose Space Travel 2 Ultra for 55 ms game mode and AI ENC.
- Both support the MOONDROP App with parametric EQ and a community tuning hub—great for tweaking to taste.
Notes: Enabling LDAC/LHDC-V or spatial processing may increase power consumption and reduce battery life. Availability of LHDC-V depends on device compatibility and requires activation in the MOONDROP app.
