I actually really like what they have going - this could be an easy recommend to people, or even as a gift. It’s cheap, yet feels and sounds premium, and has detachable cables, which people should love. If they offer a version with mic and volume rockers too, this could be have huge mass appeal. I love that Moondrop has listened to the responses to the Chu and refined it to what it should have been - budget perfection.
@@angel_withaflamethrower coming a bit late but your phone has an integrated dac and amp as amp need analog signal and dacs are those who convert it, the dongle you attach to your phone does too if not you wouldn't be able to hear any audio to begin with, speaking realistically you almost never NEED an external dac as the one in your pc/phone/dongle will do just fine, well if you buy something like the HE-1 i will understand using it lmao, also 32 bits dacs are imo a good way to trow away money lmao as you won't hear differences from a 24 bit one and even the 16 bit's is fine, literally cd are for the most part 16bit 44khz

I mean anything can happen, when Crin make his first impression on the Audiosense AQ4, he gave 5/5 and that end up being a C+ IEM, TRI Starsea got 4/5 and that end up being a B- IEM with 2 star value ranking.
@@raikenninja4843 In the end, the scale is based on how it is compared to others of it's price. So it could be good, just not good in it's price category... or at least against the competition.
i recommended the original chu to 3 of my friends, all 3 had a failure in one of the IEM's and had to get them replaced.. I hope theres nothing like that with the new ones
Hey @crin love your videos. I want to purchase my 1st IEM. Which should I go for Moondrop Chu/Chu 2, Salnotes Zero, or Thruthere Hola. I want my IEM to have good vocals, not much into the base, good for casual gaming, and most importantly need to be comfortable.
How different is it from the Salnotes Zero? Havent tried the original Chu yet. I prefer Audio-Technica's v-shape signature and tendency to lean to a brighter side. Currently I use the ATH-CKF300 a lot more than the Salnotes Zero.
I got my ChuChu 3 days ago For me it's smooth and high quality audio upgrade. Comparing to my last iem KZ ZSN pro, it's more warmer, clean treble, smooth v tuning in this ChuChu Its recommended who wants quality audio on v tuning with smoothness, maybe for me i take volume for less 60% for casual listening, in max depends on my mood in listening. The cable is good but doesn't have a mic since it's changeable cable, it's optional to change the cable. The eartips since its stock than springtips The eartips it's hard to fit in the nose, so i used my kz eartips and fits properly to my ears and the eim itself, i hope this one last more longer than kz zsn pro (due to sticky residue port) maybe it had chance to ruined the port so i need to upgrade. Kudos to iem users community
They sound great, just the stock tips are terrible. I took the spring tips from my broken set of Chu 1st gen and it's a much better experience with them. Maybe similar tuning to the Zero Red 🧐
For what i have experience in this moondrop chu 2 the quality of the bass is good but the quantity is pretty normal, not too strong and not too weak bass
i got a pair of these to serve as a simple, easy, replaceable, yet still good sounding set of earbuds to go with my laptop and travel setup and i could not be happier; much better than the KZs i had before!
Loving your stuff! Have used your tier list since about 2017 or 2018 when I stumbled on it through Reddit! Got the THIEAUDIO Monarch MKIII and I have to say, great sound! But, has anyone taken a look or considered companies like these ToS/warranties? 7 days for a $1k IEM, sketchy requirements for returns/repairs/exchanges, and most ask you not to declare the full value for cheaper customs fees (TLDR; insurance mount equates to the declaration value and if lost, you'll receive the value you specified). Hoping to visit your hangout lounge one day dude 🤙
Got mine for free via giveaway and I was pleasantly surprised. Easy candidate for a beater IEM to take in a backpack wherever you go, but wouldn't use it over any of my other stuff. Better than Salnotes Zero (IMO, sorry Crin).
@@viralbae9616 well you didn't specify :) I don't have an extensive stable of budget IEMs, but out of Quarks, Salnotes Zero, and Chu 2 - I would pick the Chu 2. Never tried the Hola or Wan'er but those would be a couple others to check out in that price range.
Obviously just my opinion and after being on the internet talking about audio for a couple years I can confidently say that most people's opinions (incl. mine) are about worthless and the only real way to decide is to try them yourself.
i regularly listen to songs with deatils.. like The Weeknd music..i want great details with a deep bass..so can u prefer me a good iem?.. i have a zsn pro x rn.. but it has no bass at all.. will the castor normal version be better than zsn pro x?..can anyone recommend me a good iem or anything pls..
My most hated tuning is a left loaded mumble rumble. My wife has a Bose speaker and it's awful, you're always trying to hear past the low-end drone to find the sound. It's especially bad for movies with mumble acting. 😂
@@viralbae9616 Compared to the regular 'Black Tips' that Moondrop provides, I've found that they can fit my ears much deeper and more securely. Sound shouldn't change too much on its own, but with a deeper fit, there usually comes a better treble extension.

Should it be combined with a DAC? android user here
@@angel_withaflamethrowerNope. In fact you almost never need a DAC or Amp for good sound. Crinacle has even made a video about it.

SO THAT'S HOW YOU REMOVE THE IEMS FROM THOSE DISPLAY BOXES. I always had a hard time pulling them out.

Y'know, I discovered the ChuChu's while browsing an online store
The fact that 3 days later I was already testing them concerns me

Please make a review and compare it to the original Moondrop Chu.
When Crinacle said *_"I like it"_* it means it's A- to A+ atleast on a normal scale
maybe this is the S+ he was clearing out for

Hey crin, have you tried the solis 2 and the starfield 2? Curious abt your thoughts on those 2
Just wondering, are these gonna get ranked?

is it heavy like the first one?

A microphone is a must man bcz a 20$ iem is allrounder for many.. like from music to call and mobile gaming! So
......... This is an iem.
Microphones are not included in iems.
please respond, is it better than NICEHCK EB2S? im planning to upgrade, what's your recommendation.
is cymbals pro better than HZSOUND Bell rhyme?

He did in a previous unboxing video. He doesn’t like it as much as the OG Aria, but it’s just tuning preference.
@@lth_lch thanks
His 'literal bag of IEMs' video features it in about the second half iirc

Now review the chu 2 dsp variant. I want to know about the dsp cable. It looks great for the price if the dsp doesn't have noise.
does motherboard audio chip affects the sound qualitu of these?
which one will be better for pubg chu 2 or zsn pro 2 ?

Which one is better 7hz zero or chu 2
Well now it's 7Hz Zero 2 vs Chu 2 😂
I'm so confused about which one I should get
I'm finally going next month! Can't wait to try every single one 🤣
Did you do something different with your hair? It looks really good for some reason. Seriously not trying to be weird. Looks sharp.
i took the little case apart just like you did! lol, then i quietly put it back together...
Man I wish cheap IEM's of this quality existed when I was REALLY broke.
is that the same carrying case as the Moondrop LAN? case is unusable due to not fitting the Apple dongle
Do you use Spotify for testing?
perfect little short
and the video's not bad either
does it still have the filter issue
My most hated tuning is a left loaded mumble rumble. My wife has a Bose speaker and it's awful, you're always trying to hear past the low-end drone to find the sound. It's especially bad for movies with mumble acting. 😂
Does it have mic?
Ngl Chu 2 have that high quality sound for only 19$ ✨

Sadly, there are no spring tips included 😢
are they better?
@@viralbae9616
Compared to the regular 'Black Tips' that Moondrop provides, I've found that they can fit my ears much deeper and more securely. Sound shouldn't change too much on its own, but with a deeper fit, there usually comes a better treble extension.
W short and yes the Chu 2 is the Chad Version of the Chu
Review it, please
Can't wait for the full review
Hell yeah the Hangout! 😲...ohh thats far 😂
So im not the only one who feels that this one has less treble
Had the Chu die on me within limited listening hours. One of the drivers went poof. Seemed decently common issue, which I hope is fixed here.
"Thank you captain obvious" 😂
This little first impresions are great for know what can coming video please more

I bought them.. these are quite nice.
