Our Verdict
Chu offers a genuine high-fidelity experience with superb performance, good clarity and details up top. The vocals pop as soon as you hit play. It is one of the most well-tuned IEMs by moondrop to date period.
Well, if there is a pair that's tuned close to Harman neutral then the Salnotes Zero are the ones. These are a phenomenal set of IEMs that will make your music breathe and come alive. You can't go wrong with these.
The HOLA are inoffensively tuned, and their price-to-performance ratio is just incredible. They will please you as soon as you pop them in your ears. HOLA's are a great pair to start your audiophile journey.

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.
