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

Got these as my starter IEMS and I'm super happy with it. These sound GREAT , almost at the same level or beating my $300 headset. Definitely a great starter IEM. I'll use these for a while before upgrading. I preferred the USBC / DSP version since it has a better quality cord and better value for the money. The mic quality is underwhelming but I didn't care about that. These felt great and light on the ears , very natural.

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.

These IEM's fit and sound great, I like the design of this product, but the only thing I have a problem with is the cable quality, as when it is moved around the port it tends to have a static and buzzing. With that aside these are a decent pair of IEM's and are definitely worth it.

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.

LEFT SIDE FAILED AFTER 18 DAYSSounds great, looks sturdy, then left side failed,I received the Moondrop CHU II DSP April 18 left side died May 4.Im not the only one. another review states the same problem.\

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.

Fantastic sounding IEMs. Well worth the money.The cable feels great. I enjoy the fact that it's USB-C. Generally the 2 pin connection system has been iffy, in my experience. But on these, they connect strongly and firmly.The included leather case is high quality, though I would've preferred a hard case. The brass pin to close the case can occasionally come unscrewed. This is simple to reinstall.They fit well. The body of the IEM is well molded to a larger ear shape. There is only one firmness of included ear tip, which is fine given the price. I generally prefer larger and firmer tips, but they seem to be interchangeable with other Moondrop ear tips.

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.
