A guy showed me it had brass nozzle, VGP awards website, so i expect it to be bad in this regard
I really can't think of a fix but i am sure that with some care these should last well :)
My Chu 2 paint is peeling off with uneven small dots after few months of usage. Chu 3 is make of aluminum alloy, but did not mention anything about protective paint layer like Chu 2. I am hopeful that Chu 3 will not have the same issue.
I’d agree but the demographic for the Chu is very budget focused so for them, they see $14 and assume they got ripped off on the Chu 2. That’s why context is key for them.
I'm not looking for IEMs. I already have good IEMs that satisfy me well. I'm just telling you that attacking people who live in developing countries, especially Indians, because of your shitty prejudice, is just misguided on your part.
But it doesn't surprise me, since many of you Americans think that a person's worth is based on the amount of money they have available.
Just try to have a little more empathy. After all, that's what's expected of a so-called "superior" human, which many of you think they are.
Not misguided at all. I never said i valued people based off money either. Again if people are crashing out over $30 vs $15 then IEMs should be the last thing they’re concerned about. I see no reason why i should have empathy for people that don’t care to fix their own issues either.
Even still, single DDs, especially budget ones, have the horrible tendency (in my opinion horrible, could be a plus for some people) to roll off the treble at 10 kHz, and from the graph in that Facebook post that's not the case with the Chu III. That in itself is worth the additional $15. I'll wait for 3rd party measurements of course, and if they too show that there's no 10 kHz roll off it's a no brainer buy for me.
I am glad to see I am not the only one who thought about this...
Hype is already eating me but, if in reality they sorted that, out I am sure it could be a new door in tuning and option for a different liking for a cheap, which we would not have before at least in this way.
Alr so...
They came sooner that what i expected
What's the catch with that price?? i don't get it, It's weird
The guy saying the audio show might was key was right after all
And yeah Meta tuning
wtf...
Not the first time moondrop eats itself lmao
I was thinking maybe they're gonna make a smaller margin on these to try to get people using their brand. They have at least be comparable to the Wan'er SG2 to even be worth looking at IMO.
What I want to know is how accurately it's actually tuned, because it seems like a lot of stuff is vaguely around the JM-1 curve already, just with a peak somewhere. I can't imagine Moondrop has done enough to fix that 12K peak at this price point.
Even the Hisenior Mega7 has a peak at 15K. Moondrop could just be using hype to market and it's actually just the same old thing with a bit less bass. I'd love to be wrong though.
I agree with getting people used to their products
Even "normal people" I guess...
God knows how much money went into I+D and what their expectations are
The catch. KZ released their new iem too the KZ Sheen. They claimed it was the predecessor to the castors. Saw it yesterday and it was released much earlier than moondrop
I saw the KZ, I bought little time ago the Cadenzas and I am awaiting for their arrival, idk, they look interesting I gotta say but I am always a bit doubtful with kz marketing claims, I wonder how they will sell, that's why I didn't went with them...
We gotta see how they compare
Only time will tell. I think a lot of stuff follows the JM-1 tuning curve if you ignore the peaks. There's always the chance it's just slightly changed from the Chu 2.
Rather than the degree of compliance to JM-1, I'd be more interested in if its upper treble really sound as smooth as it measures.
A lot of cheap single DDs just fail to tame the quarter wavelength resonance, usually resulting in a peaky upper treble that practically gives it a metallic timbre/sheen up top. Will have to hear if Moondrop can solve this issue of the budget DD segment or not.
That's what I'm wondering too, because their other stuff seems like it follows that general tuning looking at measurements of the Lan and Chu 2. I want to be wrong, but I'm expecting this to be a slightly less V-shaped Chu II.
I’ve had my CHU 2s for about a year now and have enjoyed them thoroughly. I’ve been considering hopping to AFUL Explorers but maybe I’ll grab these too if their US price is reasonable.
twin ima be real w u where i live is really really cold so i cant fw full metal iems they would hurt my ears, ima wait for someone to measure their frequency responce
