CTin Hifi T1S Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
E-- Tonally jarring or fatiguing. Frequency clashes (e.g., piercing treble, bloated bass) make extended listening unpleasant. Poor genre adaptation.
Average Technical Grade
E-- Noticeably blurred or congested. Struggles with basic instrument separation; details are lost in simple tracks. Feels "flat" and one-dimensional.
Moondrop Chu Scorings
Average Technical & Tuning Grades
Average Tunign Grade
C+- Generally enjoyable tonal character with some noticeable unevenness. Maintains listenability while showing room for refinement in frequency balance.
Average Technical Grade
C- Limited resolution; finer nuances are masked. Soundstage feels narrow, and complex passages cause muddiness. Transitions lack finesse.

Very warm. Mid-bass enphasys that bleed into mids. Treble is well done and on the darker side. Doesn't feel technical. EQ helps.

An extremely well-tuned neutral IEM with a slightly bright and metallic tilt. Crin Youtube Channel

Comment: Moondrop's best budget IEM. Neutral bright tuning, decent clarity at this price Technical performance in the absolute sense without price considered, gritty treble
Moondrop Chu reviewed by: Nymz
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.
