Man, that is disappointing. I had wanted to grab some Moonbuds at one point but I am sticking to my guns on MMCX or bust. This is a pretty good example of a problem that MMCX could fix--though it would not fix the poor sound quality. Honestly, after having purchased a pair of Willsounds that sounded so bad I literally threw them in the trash, I'm pretty much done on playing Russian Roulette with my wallet.
I wouldnt say you need to only MMCX as the only MMCX earbuds I have ( toneking to400s ) had one driver die before the cable. If its bad quality its bad quality.
For example looking at this review https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/moonbuds-cresent.23215/reviews , the Moonbuds costed 100$ and "If you want a great musical earbud for a reasonable money, then the Moonbuds Crescent is for you.". Reasonable money? What a joke, my tuned up and recabled vido sounds better than them for 12$.
Only "boutique" store I would buy from is Cypherus Audio and even there I am not fully satisfied with the quality of the cable, at least he supposedly makes the drivers himself but I cannot test that as he uses a very strong glue and you will destroy the driver in the process.
