MoondropCHU II DSP Headphones High Performance Dynamic Driver USB-C in-Ear Monitors Type-C with Microphone Earphone

My guess is at least some of the reviewers who are not happy with the sound quality don't realize one or both of these things:Your music app will likely assign a default flat audio profile the first time these are connected. If you're using an Android device and use YT Music for instance, the equalizer will be flat. All you need to do is go into settings - equalizer - and pick a default ("dynamic" will get you pretty close) and then customize to your liking. Being wired IEMs, the signal is lossless and they sound incredible- regardless of the price.Also it is very important to use the silicone tip size that will seal in your ear properly. Bass response depends on this. Don't just pick the medium tips and assume those are the right ones for you. They may not be and without a proper fit the sound quality will suffer.These feel very high quality and the performance is impressive. Immersive, crisp quality and full, deep and punchy bass. Detailing of sound you don't typically get with wireless buds. Massive upgrade in audio quality over Bluetooth buds. Even high end BT buds have nothing on these, but that's likely true for all wired IEMs.For the price I doubt you'll be disappointed in these. Just remember the above points. Check your EQ settings and make sure your ear tips are sealing. Great product.

Very good separation. A little bit too much high - 3k, but with the eq all is well. Love it for the price.The cable is strong.

Updated from 1 star to 4 stars!(Great Customer Support)I contacted the rep through email. They were able to send me a replacement for the defectice earbud. The sound are amazing in compared to my previous earphone plug-in from Senheiser.(Previous Comment)Sounds is great, but on the third day using it, the right earbud is dead (no sound). Tried troubleshooting (re-plug both the usb c cable and swapped plug between the L/R). Should have read more review on these. Seems like lots of others customer are having the same problem where the earbud short span usage.

Sound fantastic. Im a bigger fan of the 3.5mm audio jack, but my new phone doesnt have one. Compatible with the app too, so thats pretty cool.

This is the 2nd iteration of the much loved Chu I that I have enjoyed as a great bargain earphone set. There are some nice quality upgrades to the ergonomics such as looping ear cables, better carrying case, and braided cord with removable connection to the earpiece. The USBC connector might be considered an upgrade if your phone/device doesn't have a AUX feature, but otherwise this just means I can't charge and play at the same time now, so I'll call it neutral. The audio itself is not an actual upgrade as any glance at the frequency specs can attest that this version is identical in audio quality the previous version which is quite a disappointment when they spent their efforts in other places that don't matter as much as audio. The price is still great for what you are getting so I will recommend them if the features fit your needs.----- Update---------2 months in and one thr left speaker is noticeably lower volume by default. The cable and connections are fine when swapped into another system, so it's a problem with the internal parts of the left speaker set. Further research shows this to be a recurring problem with the latest moondrops, which is a huge shame as I really liked the product otherwise. The cable and earpiece have held up and I'll keep them regardless for repurposing. Dropping product a couple of stars sadly.

Pretty good sound quality and ok bass. The microphone is also low on the wire, which made it so I was difficult to hear. I did like the fit and the packaging a lot.

First and foremost let me start by saying sound quality is superb for this price point.Treble isnt sharp but still manages to extract great detail.Mids are a bit recessed but nothing to truly complain about, id consider this part a bit recessedBass section is clean and clear. Lacks a bit of punxh however this is perfect for me as these are geared towards audiophiles like myself.Build Quality is solid!Comfort is good enough for my ears. Must play with plugs to ensure properfitment and sound quality.Design is goodFit is good.The one gripe i have is the cable that come with looks decent (I got the DSP usb type c with mic version which i am truly enjoy for this price) however the ear part doesnt truly flex to stay in place BUT its a small sacrifice that i think anyone should take on these.Mic quality is good, not complaining.Overall I love these , blind buy IMO. You wont be dissapointed.

Edit 5/1/25: The right earbud cracked exactly 6 months after purchase - Even the earpods from apple usually last 1 year before replacing....so looks like im going back to those. Image included below.I was NOT sure how I'd like the whole "wrap the cord around your ear" thing.However, it's great! They never come loose.If you use your phone in bed and lay on your ears, these are not for you, sadly.I wish I could do that.The sound quality was...different. I liked going back to my cheap EarPods to test the sound difference and I liked the EarPods slightly more.Would I get it again when these earbuds die?Nah, I'll try something else. But these are cheap and might be suitable for you.I don't like the ones that go IN the ear canal, I usually like the ones that sit outside of the canal.Cons:They open your earholes a bit and it can get waxy/feel wet if you have them on too long or exercise with them on.
