CHU II High Performance Dynamic Driver IEMs Interchangeable Cable in-Ear Headphone

First impressions Packaging: This product comes in a very classy container. I would say as far as presentation goes this is a 10/10. It feels like your unwrapping a premium product that has a nice style. Build Quality: The body is made from an aluminum alloy so the product has a nice quality and weight to it. The cable is perfectly fine but for myself I will be looking into getting a beefier cable at a later time. The only weak point would be the pins on the cable depending on how rough you are with this product. Not to say that it would improve with any other cable as its a standard pin used for IEMs. Sound/Usage: The sound is great. Very clear and feels balanced. All of this for sub 25 dollars is a great deal. Opening and using this product would make you think you paid much more for these IEMs

I use these for In-Ears while playing guitar and singing with a worship team on stage. The sound quality is good, the fit is good, they are comfortable, and have lasted me quite a while. Very good price for a very solid pair of IEMs.

I'm not an audiophile or anything, but to me these sound pretty OK. Definitely not the best earbuds I have used in terms of sound quality but by far the best I have paid $20 for. Build quality leaves a little to be desired but its fine for the price. I tend to prefer wired earbuds for around the house and I used senheiser cx300 for a while. The sound quality on the cx300s is only marginally better than the moondrop chu II and it is over twice the price. Maybe that isn't a big problem for you but I guess I am pretty rough on my earbuds. I don't know when the last time I had a pair that lasted more than 6 months was. laying down $45+ each time for the cx300s didn't make me happy and last time I needed a replacement I figured I would try out some of the cheaper options and I had heard good things about this one. All in all its a pretty solid product but I'm not a huge fan of the around ear design and I would really prefer a braided cable. Then again, no issues with the cord getting pinched, etc. so far. I like the metal chassis but they are a bit heavy and I've had a few issues with it coming apart after I banged it on my desk etc. A few drops of super glue fixed that right up but something to keep in mind. I finally had to buy a replacement because I dropped my ipad with these plugged in and it landed right on the jack and bent it. It still kinda works but I have to jiggle it a bit to get it in the right position or the sound cuts out. Really its all about the price here. I mean $20 is $20 but I feel a lot better replacing these than some of the other earbuds I have owned and they sound... fine, which in this price bracket is an achievement. 7.5/10

I purchased these after my pair of noname IEMs died, since they're the top selling pair on amazon under $25. I use these to edit a podcast, and they work great and are pretty transparent. For the price, these things are an unbelievable deal. They sound great with both music and spoken word, they're comfortable for extended wear, and the all-metal housing is really sturdy. The cable is also really nice - it's thick and doesn't tangle easily. When these die, I'll probably just get another pair since I don't really want or need anything else. My only complaint is with static - it's winter when I'm writing this, and with the air being really dry, these have a tendency to give a very slight, occasional static shock when your ear touches the metal body. It doesn't hurt but you can hear it and it just kinda feels weird. Is it a dealbreaker though, absolutely not. Also, very minor thing, what's up with the anime girl on the packaging? It's kind of embarrassing when you just want some headphones, I get that some people like it but it's a super weird branding choice. Update after 8 months of almost-daily wear - I typically wear these in an office with only one ear in so I can hear what's going on around me, and I've noticed that the left ear (the one I would wear most often) has dropped in volume by about 80% while the right ear is perfectly fine. No idea what caused it, it just happened one day. I'm not dinging it any stars since it's still a crazy value for the quality you're getting, but don't expect too much longevity out of these if you wear them frequently. Update after over a year of near-daily use - these unfortunately died on me a couple of weeks ago. Wearing them in only one ear at a time, I noticed that the ear that I would favor would slowly diminish in volume in the last two weeks of its lifespan, and at a certain point it would fully die on that side. Then I'd switch to the other side, extending its life a few months, but the same thing eventually happened where the volume would gradually lower until it stopped working entirely. I decided to branch out and try a new set after these (the Linsoul Salnotes Zero) and the Moondrops are far and away the best build quality I've found in this price range. Sound quality is similar with decent clarity on both, but I noticed that these are tuned with a bit more bass and slightly more high end detail. So if you're using these in a studio or editing situation, I would maybe look for a pair with a flatter response. Otherwise, if you're using these for casual listening or really anything else, they'll sound great and last you a little while before you have to replace them.

Le Moondrop CHU II sono cuffie in-ear di qualità sorprendente per il prezzo. L'audio è chiaro e bilanciato, con bassi presenti ma non invadenti e alti dettagliati. Perfette per ascoltare musica in modo immersivo senza spendere una fortuna. Il design è elegante e confortevole, e il cavo intercambiabile è un plus che aumenta la longevità del prodotto. Anche dopo lunghe sessioni di utilizzo, rimangono comode da indossare. Se cerchi IEMs ad alte prestazioni che offrano un audio di qualità superiore senza svuotarti il portafoglio, queste cuffie sono un'ottima scelta. Consigliate per audiofili e non solo!

You simply can not get better audio quality than this for the price. They are slightly V shape tuned with a slight lean towards treble. Super comfortable as well due to their small size. Only complaints are non-removable nozzles and they can corrode after a while. But for this price I’m just nitpicking. Great pair for daily beaters or to give to a friend who is new to IEMs.

I didn't expect much for the price, but I am pleasantly surprised by not only an insane top-notch quality in materials, but also in sounds, in comfortableness, unboxing experience, it just feels premium and that it should be higher priced, it's just perfect for the money; if you need wired sound, be it for laptop, nintendo switch, or whatever, please, go with these if you don't want to spend a lot of money. And I don't say it as a cheap option, I would gladly consider these my favorite ones over many other higher priced options on the market.

I received my Moondrop Chu II three days ago and tried it right away, but in my opinion, the sound quality was mediocre and nothing special at first. That was my initial impression, and since I know some headphones or IEMs need time to “burn in” before they show their true sound, I decided to burn them in for about 24 hours using the songs I usually listen to. I don’t like using synthetic audio for burn-in. I know some people don’t believe in burn-in and think it’s just the listener getting used to the sound, but in this case, I burned the IEMs without listening to them at all. After 24 hours, I can understand why many people recommend them. So if you own the Moondrop Chu II and feel that it sounds unremarkable at first, you might want to try burning it in and then listening again. Ideally, use the songs you normally listen to and keep your usual volume level. The one thing I don’t like is the cable, it feels too thin and seems like it could break easily. Buying a new cable with a 4.4 mm plug almost costs as much as buying another Moondrop Chu II, but I’ll see. I may still buy a better cable so I can use it longer. Now for the pros: the build quality is amazing. When you hold the earbuds themselves, you wouldn’t believe they only cost 219 SEK, 19.96 EUR, or 23.15 USD. The sound also improved after burn-in, the bass is sufficient, the treble isn’t harsh, and because of the V-shaped tuning, the vocals in some songs may not be very clear, though this might improve with more playtime. If you’re looking for your first IEMs, the Moondrop Chu II could be a good option. There are plenty of reviews, and many reviewers use the Chu II as a comparison point, which means it can serve as a useful benchmark if you decide to buy more IEMs in the future.
