Hello! I'm interested in the upcoming Moondrop Robin wireless TWS. I already own the Truthear Zero Red pair. The Moondrop Robin has the same driver setup as the Moondrop May, so the sound should be similar. I'm interested in them because of their design and wireless features. Would you recommend the Moondrop May even though I have the Zero Reds? Thank you in advance 🙏
To be honest, it doesn't even rely much on DSP. Most of the time app doesn't work. Works flawlessly on 3.5 mm and a DAC. I prefer that way only. Sounds exactly how I explained in DSP standard. A bit more dynamic.
I added the graph in community post for your reference, showing 3.5 and DSP are same. Just one thing 3.5 will require a DAC for full potential dynamic range.
I never did in my testing, however DSP can produce hiss sometimes in 2 conditions 1. Bad USB C port 2. Issue with cable Try this with other phone as well
There are some great contenders under $100 My favourite is ER2XR but that's hard to recommend because of fit. However here are some recommendations: All rounder: Aria 2. Epic Details and neutrality: Hexa If you are starting and do not have small ears, I would say get a Truthear Zero Red. Moondrop May is a very good set, but Aria 2 is better IEM overall. Hope it helps.
Tangzu Wan'er is good for neutral and balanced tonality, vocals and mids sound good. CHU II has a little bit more bass. I would say if you like some bass and warmth in music CHU II is a good option Overall sound Wan'er These are the best 2 options in budget category.
Aria 2 has 3.5mm and 4.4 mm connnectors. So, I would say no issues there. However if you want to know about Moondrop May, you do not require DAC, If you want to use it via DAC, you might want to change cable.
Hi can you help me that i am confused that moondrop may or truthear zero red which is better in sound quality ,i am not intrested in buying a external dac ,while moondrop have a inbuilded one but do red perform well when we connect it to the normal headphones jack in pc or mobile than moondrop may
Help me, is there anything else in the price range that is more versatile or cool than Moondrop May? I say this because I already have a Dunu Titan S, I want one with more bass and sub-bass.
@@slopedefinition my suggestion would be to stay with Hexa, or go to Blessing 3 directly. Most IEMs are coloured and can give false sense of bass. Including D41 (Good for music listening but for mixing stay with neutral like Hexa) One more good IEM is Tanchjim Origin.
Do I need a DAC/dongle in order to enjoy zero red? I usually listen to music directly from my smartphone or laptop, but i don't know if the power of these earphones is enough or if I need some external help.
@@thomastjiang9943 Yes, Moondrop FreeDSP is a solid cable. However the Moondrop Link App sucks. Good thing you can play around with EQ, once applied you do not require app. SO I like to play around a bit. Additionally, MIC comes handy on Multiplayer gaming Now do I recommend it, yes, if you need a new cable sure, otherwise, I think you can use various EQ with your 3.5 cable.
Hello, please give me advice on which iem headphones under $100 to buy? I want to use it with a PC with a built-in sound card in the b650 aorus pro ax. Mainly music and games. Now I’m choosing between Hexa May and Aria 2, maybe also Crinicle and Kato.
Avoid Kato: It’s a good IEM but not value for money now. Aria 2: if you like slightly warm signature with good to do IEM in every way and the soundstage is a bit 3D so that’s a good thing for gaming as well. Hexa: if you want raw details and good neutral tonality but slightly thin Zero Red: if you’re starting and want to see how good IEMs are. Personally, I would say start with Red or Aria 2. Avoid Hexa as well since it’s a bit lean for new listeners. Aria 2 is best among above because of all rounder capabilities Hope it helps.
@@treblewellxtended came to me my aria 2, good headphones, sound, build. Thank you for your advice ☺️. But I faced one problem. The length of the headphone cable is not enough to comfortably sit at the computer. Can you help me what I should do now? The sound through the motherboard is good, the wire on the headphones is also, how do you now choose an extension cord to save sound? Or what other options are there?
@@faceess7211 Congratulations, glad you liked it. choose any extension, will not change sound. Or you can buy any long 2 pin cable as well. If possible try on 4.4 bal, it really elevates dynamics.
moondrop did a cost cutting with space travel by not giving leather case complimentary in box, which is necessary for open case design of space travel. moondrop did a cost cutting with may on eartips. where is the cost cutting in chu 2?
I think they wanted to keep a competitive pricing, so they kept fundamentals strong. Especially, For TWS a plastic case would have been appreciated agreed. Cause open back design has specific need for this. For CHU II again tips are same, they could have been better. Except B3, I never like eartips from Moondrop.

Quick question. If I found the Zero Reds unfomfortable to wear (too big on my ear canal I think), but really liked the sound, will the May be a good alternative?Not sure about the nozzle size difference here, but they're priced very similarly where I live.
For matching red performance Aria 2 or Hexa is right choice. However in similar price, Moondrop May is a very good set overall, but it doesn't match red's performance.
Hexa if you yearn for cleanest mid range and raw details and Bass is not the essential part of your preference, cause it is thin. Moondrop May is the one you choose if you want a fun and all rounder IEM with nice Bass and Mids to treble performance, that is literally plug and play with Type C.
Iam Confused Kindly Help , My budget is around 8k nd iam currently using Kz Zsn pro X nd i want to upgrade on something jisko sunkar lge ke haan upgrade kiya h . Which one will be the best for me . I want to enjoy the music . Two options are in my mind EA500 nd Aria 2 , or something else u can recommend .Kindly Help ☺️
@@Dragonn07 go for Moondrop Aria 2. It's an absolute upgrade over kz zsn pro. It's basically a refinement over kz tuning. Fuller mids, well done treble, you might think bass is less for some time however it will adapt in a day or two. It's a quality bass.
watchin the vid on moondrop chu 2 must say these can quite very much compete with my nothing ear 2's and i am quite surprised and waiting for that nothing ear 2 video
True that. Chu II are such a asolid option. Nothing ear 2 has it's own caveats. However a very solid option. Next week will give full breakdown, did some interesting tests.
Thank you for watching. A good start is always a budget segment to experiment and then you can always decide to proceed or not. I'm going to make a IEM guide maybe next month. Thank you for your entry, will announce winner on 30th April
I was looking for the perfect review and here it is! Thank you
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
1:22 what is driving and how to do it
Drivers: In this case dynamic driver and planar. So I tried them on 3.5mm as well changing the cable.

Thank you in advance 🙏
Moondrop May is a sidegrade over Red, I would not recommend that.
Thanks for the review, just getting started with IEMs, very useful!
Thank you, glad you liked it.
Welcome to the hobby, hope you like the Hi-Res world.
and spending 6k? 🤔
excellent video, answers the exact question that I had, THANK!
🫶🏼
Is it a significant upgrade from the Chu 2 dsp?
Yes sir! The resolution is a lot better in May in comparison
@@treblewellxtended That's great news. Thank you!
Dusk review next?
Yes, still, testing Dusk. Didn't want to rush it.
Does sound changes with 3.5 cable?
To be honest, it doesn't even rely much on DSP. Most of the time app doesn't work.
Works flawlessly on 3.5 mm and a DAC. I prefer that way only. Sounds exactly how I explained in DSP standard. A bit more dynamic.

Just one thing 3.5 will require a DAC for full potential dynamic range.
It actually does. You just have to find the right EQ in the app.
Mooddrop May vs Simgot Ew200.. Which is better according to you Sir.
Moondrop May
Can you please once check if Moondrop May has hissing sound when song stops?
I never did in my testing, however DSP can produce hiss sometimes in 2 conditions
1. Bad USB C port
2. Issue with cable
Try this with other phone as well
Awesome! The IEM earphones look amazing. Count me in for the giveaway!
Thanks man, entry noted
Oh boy i thought its just me. Took me around half an hour to put ear tips. My fingers were paining at the end
😅, Moondrop was not thinking while adding eartips. Use Spinfit with this they sound lovely with that
@@treblewellxtendedOkay, Is it Spinfit W1?
Hello! I would like to ask a question, which iem headphones do you consider the best under $100? Aria 2 or some others? and what about May?
There are some great contenders under $100
My favourite is ER2XR but that's hard to recommend because of fit.
However here are some recommendations:
All rounder: Aria 2.
Epic Details and neutrality: Hexa
If you are starting and do not have small ears, I would say get a Truthear Zero Red.
Moondrop May is a very good set, but Aria 2 is better IEM overall.
Hope it helps.
@@treblewellxtended thank you very much, very useful!
what's the best for gaming (cs2) ?
Assuming your budget is under $80
Get Aria 2 or May
If you want something under $50, Simgot EW200 is a better choice.
Hello Sir, what would be the best for gaming overall or Valorant? I am thinking about the Truthear Zero red, Moondrop may or Truhear Hexa
Moondrop May.
can i buy these for my pixel 7a?
Yes you can, they work fine. I tested them on pixel 7 as well.
is tangzu - wan'er S.G a good option as compared to chu 2 ??
and is there anything else i should be considering?
Tangzu Wan'er is good for neutral and balanced tonality, vocals and mids sound good.
CHU II has a little bit more bass.
I would say if you like some bass and warmth in music CHU II is a good option
Overall sound Wan'er
These are the best 2 options in budget category.
Hey i got a dac but aria 2 has type c port isnt it an issue?
Aria 2 has 3.5mm and 4.4 mm connnectors. So, I would say no issues there. However if you want to know about Moondrop May, you do not require DAC, If you want to use it via DAC, you might want to change cable.

Go with May, that is perfect for your usage, simple plug and play plus sound is amazing as well.
Help me, is there anything else in the price range that is more versatile or cool than Moondrop May? I say this because I already have a Dunu Titan S, I want one with more bass and sub-bass.

Hey, Im producing electronic music, (bass orientated)
S12, aria2, nova, or any sigmot? Much appreciated
What is required in you case? Neutral IEM orna bit bass boosted one? Accordingly I can recommend
Myer audio d41 seems to be the one im looking for. Found them cheaper then s12 pro. I want flat sounding iems for mixing 4/4 techno

No it's not required. They are fairly easy to drive. I many a time enjoy them directly from my ipad.
So what about Truthear Zero Red with Moondrop Free DSP? Have you tried it? I'm also interested
