Beaten by Salnotes Zero for my library. Good tuning, medriocre techs, but throwing punches up to 100$. Hard to fault. Cable is bad but workable.

Moondrop Chu Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

C+
  • Tonality is generally agreeable, though a few bumps remind you of its limits. Certain tracks spotlight its tonal quirks.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • The tuning renders a cramped window into the music, with nuance fading fast. Expect grainy textures to creep in.
Bass C-
The bass remains polite, offering definition without much drive. Dynamics remain gentle even at higher volume.
Mids B-
It presents a stable midrange foundation suitable for everyday listening. Clarity is serviceable without standing out.
Treble C+
Treble feels agreeable overall, bringing sparkle without significant fatigue. You get a polite sense of air.
Dynamics D
Volume shifts feel constrained, so build-ups plateau before releasing. Build-ups plateau before resolving.
Soundstage C+
Decent spatial presentation with noticeable width and a modest step forward in depth perception. There's a mild sense of width to enjoy.
Details C-
You get the outline of textures, though the finer brushstrokes remain faint. Background information is audible but soft.
Imaging C-
Center information lands in the right area but not with laser focus. Separation is adequate for casual listening.
Gaming C
Minimal environmental definition provides only general audio cues. Suitable for games where positioning isn't critical.

Moondrop Chu II Scorings

Average Technical & Tuning Grades

Average Tunign Grade

B+
  • Expect a friendly tonal balance that could use polish but remains inviting. Great for casual listening, less so for purists.

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
