Audio/IEMs
“The Moondrop Chu II is a compelling budget IEM at $19, featuring a metal shell, detachable cable, and warm tuning with vibrant mids and full bass—but the sub-bass lacks impact, treble can be harsh, and the nozzle may not fit smaller ears. An excellent first upgrade IEM for newcomers, though those seeking the original Chu's brighter house sound or deeper sub-bass may prefer alternatives.”
