TALK TO A GURU

Will these IEMs sound better than stock earphones?

In general, the Moondrop - Chu will sound better than stock earphones that you may have used with your smartphone. These IEMs were built using high-quality drivers and materials and tuned to deliver a well-balanced sound signature. The Moondrop - Chu IEMs provide a much more accurate and authentic reproduction of the original music recording and present a very high overall sound quality. Using them should change how you listen to your favourite artist and allow you to rediscover music.

Do these really sound better than Wireless Earbuds?

Wireless Earbuds are no doubt convenient. But they usually sound pretty ordinary. These IEMs, although wired, are designed and built with the goal of just delivering brilliant sound.

Keep in mind, wireless earphones, pack in batteries, Bluetooth receivers, electronic components and speakers that add to their cost and can end up at several times the price of an equivalent sounding wired earphone. And so, for the same budget, wireless earbuds can sound pretty ordinary compared to wired IEMs.

If sound quality is a priority over convenience, wired IEMs come out ahead in terms of price, and significantly in terms of sonic performance. Wired IEMs have always been the audiophile’s top pick.

How will this IEM make my music sound any better?

Good sound should be able to help you imagine the artist performing right in front of you in the same room. Artists take a phenomenal amount of time and effort to record music at the finest studios around the world to capture every detail in the music. The headphones’ job is to be able to reproduce all the details and take you back to the studio.

The Moondrop - Chu IEMs will help you rediscover your music. You should hear clear, revealing and enriching details in the music that you may not have noticed before. It's tuned to reproduce all elements in the soundtrack naturally without placing an excessive amount of emphasis on any particular area. The sound is powerful and revealing, with the ideal balance of lows, mids, and highs between the instruments and vocals.

How do I use these IEMs if my phone doesn't have a 3.5mm output?

If your phone doesn't have a 3.5mm output, you can use a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for android phones or a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter for Apple iPhones to connect the Moondrop - Chu IEMs.

Alternatively, the best-sounding option is to go for a USB Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) to connect your IEMs. A good DAC makes a considerable difference to the overall sound of your set up and these DACs are highly capable and outperform inexpensive adapters. If you are looking for the best presentation of your music then a dedicated USB DAC is the way to go.

Do I really need a Digital To Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifier to use these?

You don't necessarily need a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC) or Amplifiers to use the Moondrop - Chu IEMs, as they can be plugged directly into the 3.5mm output of your smartphones, tablets or laptops. They usually have enough power to drive these Earphones. However, using a dedicated DAC can improve the overall sound quality and provide a more detailed reproduction, especially if you are listening to Lossless or Hi-Res music.

Apun ne jab ye product ka naam dekha, laga ye chinese log apun ko gali de rahe hai. Fir bhi maine Kharida kyunki ek guruji ne recomend kiya, pehle toh ye gurujis na bohut ache hai, ye IEMs na Ekdum kadak hai. Details lajawab hai. Soundstage lagta hai apun stage ke samne hai aur volume bhi acha hai deusre IEMs jaisa nahi ke phone pe full volume karna padta hai, 40 - 50% bohut loud ho jata hai. Eartips bohut ache hai aur koi bhi size use karo ears ke bahar niklenge hi nahi. Headphonezone ye eartips seperatly bhi becho kyunki ye Lajawab hai eartips.

Great sound but needs a lot of work with mic

Coming from the perspective of a person who has listened to more than 100 IEM's. These are one of the most neutral-sounding ones for the price they are available at. The only small flaw in the tuning is that these have a little hash metallic timbre which results in these sounding shrill and fatiguing after like 2-3 hours of listening. Towards the 8kz range, there is a little spike that can be toned down a little bit by using foam ear tips. Detail resolving is one of the strengths of the product and I would give it an A+ for that (only for the price otherwise it is a respectable B if seen in a vacuum). Lastly coming to sound staging, it is fine just like 80% of the IEMs I have tested and listened to.

The biggest problem that was faced by me with this product is the mic. I have tried 4 different sources and have absolutely different results from them:
1. With a redmi note 10 phone, volume buttons become next track and previous track buttons.
2. With a POCO X3, as soon as it connects it blocks the mic for calls and recording and the buttons don't respond to any presses.
3. on a oneplus device everything works
4. And lastly on a Samsung phone the mic and play-pause button work but the volume buttons do not work

Do not board the moondrop hype train

This was my first moondrop purchase(Shenzhen audio) not headphonezone. I can say it was a waste of money atleast for me. I use my blon bl 03 with and without apple dac and the volume is surprisingly loud even at 50%. But this is not the case with the chu. Even at 70% its not that loud and above 70 treble starts piercing your ears. So its only good at home. Maybe its the problem with my unit. There's no thumping bass even with eq. Don't buy if you listen to EDM and POP.
