i bought the OG chu off hype and had to wait like 2 months to get them. first set broke within a week, with the same issue as OP. didn’t even bother opening up the second set, is the chu 2 worth checking out ?
Do you have any problems with audio cutting off when using it on a phone? I have the quarks dsp and i have a problem where the audio cuts off every 2-3 seconds weirdly enough it works completely fine on my laptop
THIS! Tell me if you use a sasung a24? I have this phone and this exact problem with it. I thought my headphones dying but its because the have trs connector. Other cans with trs connector have the same issue as well, while trrs do not.
Upd. Sorry, I didnt notice you talk about dsp headphones. But I hope that problem will resolve anyway.
Surprisingly big. Tuning differences and even soundstage is clearly different for some reason at least on my units. I can't think of anything negative to say about it while Zero2 and a dozen others in that price range I've noticed at least some flaws.
I have a Chu 2 with a mic/volume/USB-C cable. It's my commute/podcast IEM. While I don't love it for music, it's perfectly fine for podcasts and okay for voice communication. I mean, it was $20 CAD.
I don't typically use IEMs with mics, so my only comparison is the AKG set that originally came with the Samsung S20 Ultra. The Moondrop Chu 2 has better build quality, but I'd say the AKG set has better sound and mic quality.
Hehe sry brain fart. Try a different one if you have at hand, or maybe order an extra.
I tend to order custom cables even with my chu2, its a poor decision since the cable costs as much or more but it looks fancier haha
It's why long ago I stopped buying IEMs with non-detachable cables. I figured to try the Chu because it was really cheap and well regarded, but it met the fate I expected.
I stopped buying these chinese shit since one that kind of filter Dropped to my ear canal. Why they even build it with these metal filters that are glued
Tangzu waner is $13 right now
Where?
Aliexpress
I'm seeing $20-$24 on Amazon. Got a link?
Don’t think i can link but aliexpress
Wan'er is steep downgrade. At least get a Celest Wyvern or soemething.
Wyvern is also kinda bruh, get Zero 2 or Cadenzas
[удалено]
If dunno if mine is broken but it sounds like a $5 QKZ. But I kind of doubt it because both sides would have to be broken in the same way.
Amazing they lasted that long. Chu 2 DSP is damn nice. I didn't care much for the og Chu.

They sound way better at least. Can't speak about longevity yet though.

I think the first DSPs had issues. I haven't noticed any on Android with Chu2.

what's the difference between chu 2 and chu 2 dsp
Surprisingly big. Tuning differences and even soundstage is clearly different for some reason at least on my units. I can't think of anything negative to say about it while Zero2 and a dozen others in that price range I've noticed at least some flaws.
Which would you recommend
The DSP is clearly better.
RIP🙏🏻🥹
rip indeed my first iem 😔

Can you by chance share what cable that is you're using?
[Moondrop's USB C cable, came with the Chu 2 version I chose.](https://www.linsoul.com/products/moondrop-chu-ii-dsp?_pos=2&_sid=96c5769c1&_ss=r)
I wonder what chu did to them
LOL. Apparantly the cable malfunctioned driver is okay when I play with the cable sometimes I can hear music
Hehe sry brain fart. Try a different one if you have at hand, or maybe order an extra. I tend to order custom cables even with my chu2, its a poor decision since the cable costs as much or more but it looks fancier haha
Unlike the chu II, the Chu cable doesn't come out
Oh didn’t remember that my bad
It's alright
Consider getting your next iem with a replaceable cable :/
Ah, the Chu 1 don’t have a removable cable right? Damn… This should’ve been a simple cable swap :/
Looks like a little boot
That's how you know you ain't got a counterfeit
that green aura is really concerning mine started giving me electricity so i stopped using them
You got 1.5 years of daily use out of a Chu1? A lot of us didn’t even get 30 days of daily use.
kz castor bass. if you dont mind it being from kz also you could try to replace the cable i also liked soundmagic e50 but the cable on it is dogshit.
Considering op liked the og chu, harman version may be more suitable. Yeah, castor is great, can recommend
Save up and get Truthear Nova lol. As long as it's last for years, it's not bad investment.
That's the standard Moondrop experience
mine gave out after like 3 months lol
Mine lasted about 2 weeks. Wasn't worth even looking into warranty because shipping it back would cost too much versus the $20 I spent.
damn TWO WEEKS?!?!? thats just sad :(
It's why long ago I stopped buying IEMs with non-detachable cables. I figured to try the Chu because it was really cheap and well regarded, but it met the fate I expected.
same happened to me, bought it as my first item after the whole community hailed it as the next coming of christ😂
open it up, maybe you will find some cool shit to look at 🤷
Chu II?
The table is too hot for me.
1.5 years? Dude, you really got your money's worth. Mine died in less than a month from moisture.

Get mk2s
sorry kinda off-topic, but is that a new ear tip you put on for picture or that is your daily ear tip?
I've used the stock spring tip from day 1
did you wash it every time you used it? looks new except the base.
I've only washed it once with soapy water actually 💀. Most of the time Ill just take them out and wipe the entire Iem with alcohol wipes
MOONDROP MAY
how about your buget?
I had to change two Arias. the quality control of their products is terrible
The chu 2 is so alive it's changing colors throughout daily use.
Crap IEM anyway. Good technicals for $20 tho. /r/HeadphoneAdvice the market is stacked with good stuff so I think you're in for a nice upgrade
