These are excellent at their msrp, even better at 16 shipped. Solid way to dip your toes into what chifi has to offer, might be endgame for someone that has old ears. If you like them, you'll like Moondrops house sound and it's safe to try a few more from them at a higher price tag.




All 3 are really weird choices if you're just chasing bass. There are better out there in.... every price range (and.... considering the price *brackets* for iems these days, you're really sort of all over the place here).

Also saying "bassy music"... is kind of not getting you any closer to what you're looking for. Are you listening to hip hop? Rock? EDM? Like *what kind* of bass, yaknow? Frankly I would suggest trying (in no particular order):


Blon Z300
Truthear Zero Blue
Simgot ew200 (the em6l is.... fine. it's really a gaming set and I can't recommend it for anything else. they're sibilant, on purpose, in a way that is great for atmospheric detail, but bad for music... literally anything else from their lineup is better for music).
Tangzu Heyday (best planar bass, hands down)
QKZ Hades (you only care about bass, f every other freq range)

Yeah... there are a few hbb collabs in this rec list but he... knows bass.
Not sure how you expect recommendations when you won't say what "your" music is.

Is it furrycore?
Chu got to be kidding me with these low, low prices.

I bought the chu 2 a few weeks back. I was surprised at it. Is it amazing? No. But for 18 bucks it sounds just as good as my Razer opus, minus the bass.

That's my only gripe about this, the bass.

And, it's uncomfortable to wear after awhile. But, I use it to block out noise while I'm working. It blocks out noise in a different way than the anc in my opus.

I am considering upgrading, since I do like the IEM. But I can't decide. Kiwi melody, simgot em6l, or aria 2. Hmmm. I like bassy music.

If you have USB-C only phone,

I would suggest Chu II - DSP usb C.

One less dongle.


I like the sound of Chu II - better than any TWS….) but I sent it back because I got used to wireless world.

Bose Quiet Comfort II ear buds is what I use now.

I had asked on reddit and the ones I listed were the most up voted and reommended. And the reviews on head fi for the ones you listed don't seem to be right for my music.

But thanks.

How different are the Chu 2 from the original Chu? I have a pair of those and they have a very tinny balance.

I haven't tried too many of the newer releases, but generally my favorite cheapos have always been the MEE M6.

There is also a Chu 2 in their storefront that has the usb-c plug instead of a headphone plug, if you want to go that direction, for about the same price. I am gonna pick them up when i can. I have never had IEM's before.

Chu 2 comes with decent quality removable cables, no spring tips, and better sound.

Chu 2 has more emphasis on sub bass. I didn't find the treble fatigue even though the sound signature is a bit V shape

I genuinely think Chu 2 has a lot of characteristics of IEMs in the $150-250 range. I kinda liked Chu 1 a little better tbh, but I think Chu 2 will be more for the general folks who want more bass and it has better modularity and ergonomics, I personally prefer more flat characteristics. I bought a few of them to hand out like candy to friends as gifts. These are the iems that help get ppl in the hobby tbh.

A usb c to headphone jack dongle really doesn't take up much space it's the quality of the dongle that makes or break a good connection.
