The JIU presents an exceptional listening experience with its 10mm dynamic driver with a titanium-plated composite diaphragm. Moondrop JIU offers enhanced audio performance by using PVD (physical vapour deposition) technology. The JIU's sound signature is tuned to achieve a natural yet detailed sound, with a focus on clarity.

Moondrop Jiu features a versatile USB Type-C connection port which can be connected to phones, laptops, and computers. It not only gets a modified connection interface but also has upgraded signal input via integrated DSP adjustments. Moondrop has taken the cavity structure and driver configuration of the Chu and further optimised its performance using DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology for the JIU.
Moondrop Jiu hosts a high-quality MEMS microphone which allows you to experience various usage scenarios, such as the audio-visual experience, online meetings, online classes, or gaming. The volume rocker enables you to adjust the volume easily.
The design of the all-new Moondrop Jiu is eye-catching. The pair features high-quality Zinc Alloy material. Alongside its excellent audio performance, the JIU features a comfortable and durable design, making it suitable for audiophiles and casual listeners.The metal outer cavity is manufactured from alloy materials using melting and injection moulding technology. The overall design is lightweight but also has a solid, robust build structure.
The Moondrop JIU has been fine-tuned by Moondrop using their renowned VDSF target response curve, which is a parametric target that uses composite elements to restore audio quality to mastering levels. The VDSF curve matches the more known Harman Target, which can mean a generally enjoyable sound signature.
The diaphragm has improved rigidity and damping, leading to better treble extension and details. Additionally, JIU utilises Aria's decentralised dynamic structure, a 10mm composite cavity with a high-frequency phased waveguide, N52 ND magnet internal magnetic circuit, and 0.035mm ultra-thin imported CCAW sound coil to achieve high energy conversion efficiency and deliver exceptional performance with a full dynamic range and rich details.

The Moondrop JIU enhances the audio performance of the CHU through digital signal processing (DSP). By utilizing DSP, the JIU achieves improved tuning and delivers an immersive and captivating sound experience. The Moon drop JIU is definitely worth trying.
For a twenty-five dollar pair of USB type C headphones, the JIU really brings the sound quality. The soundstage and imaging are also surprisingly good and outmatches what most type C earbuds can do.
The Moondrop JIU are the best DSP-enabled budget IEMs I have tried so far. As such, they earn my recommendation for “USB type-C IEMs.”
The Moondrop JIU is a great all-rounder IEM for the price range and with almost perfect price to performance ratio. It is ideal as a daily driver for office communication also.
The Moondrop Jiu could represent the budget IEM market’s next big leap thanks to its integrated DSP. If you’re curious about integrated DSP, you should give the Jiu a listen.

Customer Reviews
Powli sadanam
While I was blown away at first by these incredible sounding and feature-packed IEMs, they started producing distortion after just two days of usage. At low volume levels, the distortion marginally overpowers the actual audio being played and it becomes quite annoying to listen to.
I tried making a video of this problem. Please listen to the left audio channel very carefully (I placed the monitors on my phone's left mic channel).
Maybe I received a defective product? I will update this review once my return/exchange request is fulfilled.
I got this after going through almost very review available. So I knew what to expect. And I was not disappointed. Starting off with the unboxing experience, Moondrop provides you with a wonderful unboxing experience, right from the "lowly" Quarks to the Jiu and beyond.
For the price, this was the best packaged IEM I have ever bought. You open the nice, weighted magnetic closing box with the classy anime graphic and are greeted with the gorgeous face plate of the Jiu, set like branches of a plant with the cables running down into the bottom of the foam cover.
Moondrop Chu/Jiu comes with their famed Spring Tips which alone cost about 1000 bucks for a set. Which makes the Jiu and the Chu good value, if you like the spring tips. Personally I found them to be excellent, but they need a bit of extra care to keep clean, due to the sticky surface which attracts dust.
The same goes for the cables of the Jiu, which has a slightly sticky feel. The cable tends to rub against your clothing and skin, and the noise can be felt in your ear. It is also hard to keep fixed over your ear and tends to slip off. There are a pair of included cable guides that will help the cables stay over your ear, but I found the whole setup to be very fussy.
Once you have set up eveything to your liking, and found the right size eartips and fitted them in your ear, you can really start to enjoy the crip, clear sound that the Jiu offers. The bass is adequate, but personally, I used Wavelet app to boost the bass by 4-5 dB under 150Hz to suit my needs.
The mids and vocals are really crisp. The highs are very well presented too, with a good amount of treble. However, I did think that the treble was a bit too sharp and I couldn't listen to it for too long. I checked the online forums and there was a suggestion to replace the very wide bore spring tips with a more narrow bore ear tip. That did dampen the treble a bit, and made it a lot easier to listen to. I have a very sensitive ear for treble, so your experience may vary. I had a similar experience with the KZ ZEX as well.
Overall, for a DSP IEM, the Jiu is very well priced especially with the kit it provides. Although the cable is a bit fussy, the overall experience exudes quality, and you feel like you are handling a quality product. I have the Quarks DSP as well, IMO, the Quarks has the better cable of the two, and also a bit more bass, even with the smaller driver. But the Jiu feels "heavier" somehow in its overall sound. Overall, for its price, it is a definite add-on to your collection, especially if you don't already have the Chu.
