All metal build, fantastic all rounder. Watch out for Corrosion in humid environments.
Youtube Video Summary

Moondrop Chu 2 keeps the bargain spirit alive with a tidy kit: decent silicone tips, a leatherette pouch, and a surprisingly nice stock cable that feels premium for the price—though the missing chin slider is a small annoyance. Build is where it flexes: a full aluminum shell with brass nozzles and removable filters that invite easy tweak-mods or replacements. Comfort is better than the weight suggests, with the over-ear cable and earhooks distributing mass well—this one even passes the tiny-ears test. Aesthetically it’s classic Moondrop: understated elegance that reads more like functional jewelry. The big caveat: those brass nozzles can show oxidation/corrosion in humid climates, so a silica gel packet or dry storage is smart.

Tonally it’s a mild V-shape done right: boosted bass that’s punchy yet controlled, clean mids that sit a touch back without sounding off, and energetic upper-mids/treble that bring clarity without tipping into harshness for most. Technical chops are solid for the price, with imaging and stage that sit slightly above average. In the budget landscape it parks squarely between the 7Hz Zero (leaner, brighter) and the QKZ x HBB (warmer, smoother)—a middle-ground tuner that suits almost any genre. At about $19, it’s an easy “Brilliant” tier pick and a top first-IEM recommendation or tough beater pair; the only real hesitation is that humidity caveat. Add spring tips or a nicer case and it would nudge even higher.

Moondrop Chu II reviewed by Super* Review

Super* Review 7* * score rescaled + normalized
Youtube Video Summary

Moondrop Chu II keeps the tiny, all-metal shells from the original and fixes the biggest gripe: a replaceable 2-pin cable. The new cable is thin, lightweight, and very well-behaved with small hardware; the only knock is the missing chin slider. The earpieces are small, secure, and comfortable—impressively built for $19. The paint pattern isn’t as distinctive as before, but the ergonomics and cable quality make this a smart budget pickup (and even a handy donor cable for lightweight IEMs).

Tuning shifts from the original’s bright-neutral profile to a more V-shaped, bass-emphasized sound that will appeal to more listeners, while still carrying a slight bright tilt. Frequency response is sensible for the price, but technical performance is merely average—a bit low-res next to options like the 7Hz Zero. Net result: an IEM that sounds fine but wears excellently, with the cable and form factor doing the heavy lifting. It earns a confident 4 stars on value and usability, even if sonic uniqueness takes a back seat.

Another harman-ish tuning. Similar to Tanchjim One but not as smooth.

Basically the modded Zero with slight more bass. Most vocal forward out of the $20 sets.

Comment: It's literally $20, recommended to buy when starting out or as a beater set. Probably the most balanced sounding at its price Average tech like its other counterparts, bass is less controlled

Average Technical Grade

C
  • Even moderate complexity exposes the limited resolution and narrow sense of space. Technical fans will find it lacking.
Bass C+
It delivers adequate punch and texture, though nothing stands out. Sub-bass presence is hinted rather than delivered.
Mids B-
The mids are solid and dependable, though not especially remarkable. Vocals stay reasonably grounded in the mix.
Treble C
The top end sounds acceptable but lacks the smoothness of higher tiers. Air is hinted at more than delivered.
Dynamics E+
Dynamic range feels limited, smearing micro-contrast and transient attack. Soft details are smoothed into the background.
Soundstage B-
It pushes sound outward confidently while leaving height development as an unfinished idea. Height remains subtle but detectable.
Details C-
The presentation is fine for casual listening but leaves refinement on the table. There's some grain on quieter elements.
Imaging C-
Separation is good enough for casual listening yet misses audiophile precision. Depth remains limited but present.
Gaming C+
Fundamental left/right positioning with limited depth perception. Works for non-competitive gaming but lacks precision.
