The nozzles of the CHU have a wax guard, which is a welcome addition to prevent debris from dropping in.Įach earpiece has a bamboo leaf motif. A left and right marking is painted on each shell. The shells are on the smaller side and are ovoid.
The build is actually very solid and the CHU put to shame some higher priced competitors that look and feel like cheap plastic in comparison. The housings are fashioned from mould-injected zinc alloy. There is no reinforcement of the clasp on the case, this also may be a point of failure down the line with repeated usage. The Moondrop logo is printed at the bottom right corner.ĭon’t get me wrong, the case looks great, but in terms of practicality, this case is quite thin and seems a bit flimsy, so I have doubts that the contained items inside will survive someone sitting on them. Case The included case is a very nice touch, and is made of a furry papery material and it has a button clasp. On a positive note, the cable has surprisingly minimal microphonics. Due to the lack of chin cinch, the cable tends to unwind when used over the ears, so I would recommend to utilize the included ear-hooks. There is no strain relief present where the cable inserts into the housing, and this may be a potential point of failure down the line. The cable is unfortunately non-detachable, which may be a deal-breaker for some. The following review was completed with the stock Spring eartips, so as not to add aftermarket confounders, which may affect the sound. Of course this is a YMMV situation, as we all have different ear anatomies.Īnother point to note is that some aftermarket ear tips cost near the price of the CHU, so I understand if some are content to use the included Spring tips! These ear tips opened up the sound by improving soundstage and clarity, and dynamics are boosted markedly. In particular, I quite enjoyed the Spinfit CP145 pairing with the CHU. The Spring tips are quite comfortable, but unfortunately do not give the best synergy with the CHU. For those of us who tip-roll, I advise you to try aftermarket ear tips.
HYPE TRAIN PLUS
The Spring tips give a bass-lite seasoning plus treble roll-off, thus making them sound quite undynamic, compressed, and subdued. Ironically, the Spring tips are not the best pairing with the CHU. A unique radial double support structure also reportedly decreases bass loss. The highly sought after Moondrop Spring tips have a special structure that reduces distortion from the nozzle and suppresses unwanted resonances. I’ve definitely seen higher-priced sets that gave way less goodies!
HYPE TRAIN DRIVERS
Drivers : 1 x 10mm nano-crystal coated composite dynamic driver with titanium-coated diaphragm.Moondrop recently entered the TWS game with the Sparks and Nekocake. Moondrop is popular among CHI-FI enthusiasts, and they have released some crowd favorite IEMs, such as the Blessing 2, Dusk, Aria 2021, KATO and Starfield (just to name a few), and even ventured into earbuds, some of which are considered best-in-class (eg Chaconne and Liebesleid). Moondrop generally tunes their IEMs to their in-house sound signature, the virtual diffuse sound field (VDSF), which is kind of an amalgam between diffuse field and Harman tuning.
