    I tested one of the most hyped budget IEMs, Moondrop CHU 2. I get it now. These are built solid, comfortable to wear, and sound excellent. I can easily recommend them in this price.

    I have it, and it's great. The sound signature is very enjoyable, not bass-heavy or treble-heavy. The only caveat is that the 3.5mm version doesn't have a mic or inline control buttons. So, for skipping songs, playing, pausing with inline controls, or handling calls, it’s not usable. Buyers should keep that in mind. If such inline controls or mic is needed, you need to buy another compatible cable which has such features.

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  5 днів тому

      I agree. I didn't know it won't have any buttons on it. The DSP version has them, and a type c connector too.

    A new subscriber here! Nowadays you don't find phones which gives importance to the sound quality. Over the time we forget how good the music used to sound. Thanks for reviewing the products which brings back those days. Im planning to buy this Moondrop Chu 2 IEM and an mp3 player around 2-3K. If you have any suggestions for mp3 player please do let me know. You are one of the most underrated UA-camr! Kudos to your work 🎉

      Thanks for your support 🙏🏽. I recently used the Audiocular M61 music player. It was good for around that price. There may be even better options. I suggest you take a look at the concept kart store to explore 🙂

      @RGoku7474 День тому

      Nice. I was checking in conceptkart under Rs. 3000 and there were many brands (Audiocular, Ruizu, Swofy)
      I'm confused which one is better.

      Well, I haven't tried many, but they might perform similarly. Check for any specific details about their file compatibility and playback sampling rate

    I have the kz AM01 3.5mm to type-C DAC, I also play games, so if I buy chu 2 Dsp i can't use the DAC, if I buy chu 2 (non dsp) I can't use mic. I'm stumped. What should I do?
    I listen to music like pop, hip hop and vocals, and play FPS games in my free time.
    Considering my preference, any recommendations would be helpful.
    My budget is 2000

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  5 днів тому +1

      Yeah, the lack of in-line controls and mic is a bummer here. You could also consider the Tangzu Waner classic. It's very good and is similar to the CHU 2 with slightly lower mid range and softer bass. It should work well with your DAC.

  • @Yoshaaaaa375

    bro should i get this or tangzu wan'er studio edition ? (i am an IEM beginner and i was planning to buy wan'er studio edition after seeing your review for it's top notch sound quality but now i saw this review too)

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  5 днів тому +1

      The studio edition is very good, especially for a flatter sound. This may be better as a "for-music" IEM due to it's warmer bass.

      Some of them do. The problem is, it's not easy to tell which is good and which one isn't. In general, it's better to get one with a dedicated amplifier chip, like the Audiocular D07

    bhaiya which one is better moon chu or kz castor

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  4 дні тому +1

      The Castor has sharper top end due to its additional balanced armature drivers. But the Moondrop CHU 2 is built better and has warmer bass. I personally prefer the sound from the Chu 2.
      But if you want that sharpness in the treble and want a mic (CHU 2 doesn't have one), the Castor is a better option. That said, I think most people trying IEMs for the first time would enjoy the CHU 2's mid range better, without the fatiguing top end.

    • @TheHopelessGeek
      @TheHopelessGeek  4 дні тому +1

      The EDX Pro is a bit more V-shaped, meaning it has more emphasis on bass and top end with average mid range. The EDC Pro sounds more neutral with enhanced mid range performance. I would personally go for the EDC Pro for its balanced sound.
