Do you think it's a good combination if I use Truthear Zero Red with Moondrop Free DSP (same dsp cable as Moondrop May, sold separately)? Have you tried this combo yet, I'd love to know your experience. Is it worth it to go with (Zero Red+Moondrop DSP) or Moondrop May is good enough in terms of sound quality?
If you like to EQ, and are good with PEQ, it is a good option otherwise not. Additionally, as of now the app is not available for Apple and android one is laggy as hell. Hence, my suggestion would be not buy the cable. At least till Moondrop works on app. Hope it helps
@@treblewellxtended I want to use a cable with a built-in mic and a dedicated DAC with Zero Red. Since the Moondrop DSP cable has both a mic and a DAC, assuming it is a good quality DAC, I think this would be a good option. I don't really care about the app or EQ. I might use the app if they fix it in the future. To me, it's a bonus feature. Question: Will the DSP cable change the sound quality of the Zero Red compared to its own 3.5mm cable?
@@rakat04 In that case you can use it with Red. It will not change sound quality until you change it on app. Default profile is pretty neutral on free dsp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

1. Bad USB C port
2. Issue with cable

Mooddrop May vs Simgot Ew200.. Which is better according to you Sir.
Moondrop May
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.
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.
