Details and specs
The Moondrop CHU II is a pair of budget wired earphones with small metal shells that sit comfortably in most ears. Unlike the original CHU, it has a detachable cable, and the cable is lighter and nicer than most at this price.
The sound is fun, with good bass for the money. The mids sit slightly back, so guitars can sound thin, and the treble can feel bright if you’re used to warmer earphones. Detail and separation are average. The brass nozzle has a replaceable filter, but it can tarnish in humid climates.
- 10 mm dynamic driver
- Impedance 18 Ω, sensitivity 119 dB/Vrms (easy to drive from a phone)
- Metal shells with a brass nozzle and replaceable filter
- Detachable cable with a 0.78 mm 2-pin connector
