My chu 2 are about a year old now, no paint chipping off and they work like a charm but i take good care of my stuff so there‘s that…
Bro i have moondrop chu 2 dsp version and i use samsung a35 the voice is distorted while taking calls i can't hear the other person please help
Really like the Chu 2 as my first IEM. Even though it amazes me, i usually listen to them at low volume since its so nauseating. but good for me, I find it still full a bit thats enough to be nice (ar
I bought chu 2 dsp a year ago, and just after like 1-2 week, the dsp chip inside the type-c port blew... I'm getting lower sound volume on my left iem than on right( across various devices)🫠
If you take good care of the Chu 2, it should last you a long time. I have several sets that I use regularly.
IEMs like the Chu 2 are particularly prone to clogging as the mesh filter is very fine.
ngl the Chu 2 can feel harsh in that upper midrange. i had the same reaction to Harman-style tunings.
I got the Chu 2 with some expectation that they would sound decent, only to find them pretty much unlistenable due to a harsh upper range.
Also for anyone reading, don’t buy a chu 2 if you live anywhere remotely humid.
It still oxidized but rather minimal. Unlike the picture above where the eartips also get the oxidation.. granted I did clean out the eartips and nozzle regularly tho.
I hate chu2 so much because of this only
Cooper oxidation. Use silica balls or bags to control moisture and always use a pouch to store the Moondrop chu 2(well known issue of this oxidation)
Copper oxidation caused by not properly alloyed copper used in chu 2 production
Boom 💥, your IEM will instantly sound louder, with punchier bass, richer vocals, and an overall cleaner, more immersive sound.
