Moondrop Chu

[Jimbob54]

Thanks crin. Whats you preamp setting there?

You'd have to think (edit, no, it's) around -4.6 dB. (Was looking at Q values not gain. Doh!)

 

[staticV3]

At least -4.6dB. That's what it takes to get the Chu up to IE2019v2 at 20Hz.

 

[Chyżwar]

Compared to the ER4XR, these Chu sound a little brighter, colder, and have this annoying peak around 14kHz (like the Aria, Starfield). Nice for $ 20, but not that great.

Aria Snow Edition is supposed to follow the same VDSF tuning as the Chu, more refined highs are the original, white case, different cable and spring tips.

Would the Chu's work well for sports? Do they still in the ear well? Can they handle sweat?

I guess figuratively, I wouldn't say no sweat but literally, no sweat should be near it

Basically, what I'm asking in regards to sports, are the Chu's durable and able to withstand some abuse, and are they able to stay in the ears with a lot of movement?

I'd say not. They have the fixed cable which I suspect is a weak point if active. But the shells are small enough to can tuck them into the curve of your ear more than larger iem

I like them more than my NC400 for biking and jogging. They are so small that they create a lot less windnoise. So far I havent had any problems with them staying in my ears. As said the cable might be a weakspot though.

That is hugely a subjective mather. They don't stay securely in my ears nearly as good as the B2D does.

I wouldn't recommend any iem without actual hooks for exercise to be honest.

It's not the absence of the hooks, but the shape, angle and length of the nozzle that's all wrong for me.

Oh, I get that. I mean generally iem and bouncing around isn't a good mix for me

Would you use your B2D for exercise and sports? I have the 7Hz Timeless, but I'm thinking of getting something a little cheaper for exercise and sports. I don't want to ruin the Timeless in short order.

I can play VR games with the B2D and KZ DQ6. But no, I wouldn't use IEMs for anything more active than that.

Yes, if you really want to use IEMs for sports I would use something cheaper. For me the KZs fit me really secure. Many KZs are quite cheap.

Do you like the KZs more than the CHUs? Both are similarly priced for cheap iems to use for sports.

 

[RHO]

No, provided I can get the Chu to seal well, it sounds much better than the DQ6.
Maybe there are KZ models that sound better. I have to investigate that (looking for some cheap ones to use with my VR headset.).

 

[maverickronin]

I bought a pair of these for what I thought would be a fun and cheap exercise to see how far things have come, but I ended up spending twice the cost of the IEMs experimenting on different tips to make them fit properly.

I settled on Comply TX-500s

I got mine last week and they lasted a grand total of a few days before the left channel crapped out on me.

Any tricks on how to keep wires behind your ears? Soon as I turn my head, the wire on the opposite side of where I’m looking comes off.
