Reply to Is Moondrop Chu too sensitive, like the KZ's on a laptop/smartphone? by Additional_Worry3233
Regular chu (no mic) has no white noise on my galaxy M31.
That's all I can tell you sorry. Hope that helps.

Cable reviews can be useful... Until they start talking about the sound. Quality of construction and haptics of materals.. flexibility.. weight.. all small things that matter. To some people the colour matters.. i like those mint green china cables a lot. XD

Lots of IEM boom too. Especially if the plugs or cable are heavy.
For example the Aria boom much more than the Hola, even though the design is almost identical.

First impressions:
I have no idea how they measure anything like the chu. They sound totally different to my ears.
Not sure if is the fit, or the characteristics of the included ear-tips but they make these IEM sound bloated and muddy to my ears. That immediately went away with different eartips.
trying the spinfit tips that come with the chu have exactly the opposite problem: treble extension too sharp. very fatiguing.
With these short wide tips (pictured) the bass and mids sound tight, and the treble is really quite forward (maybe a tad too much so, not sure yet).
Independently from that, to me the timbre sounds much more natural than the Aria. Those also lacked in the treble for me- and hihats kinda got lost. (easy fix with a smidgen of EQ but not needed here).
I don't have 'truly' analytical IEMs to compare them too, but as far as I am concerned these display a lot of detail. Flamenco guitars sound just lovely. More complicated instrument arrangements can get a bit overwhelming.
I never had IEMs where the sound depended that much on the eartip geometry.

Update: for me the perfect eartips for these seem to be the complete t-500.
After a week of getting used to the sound and comparing it with what else i got, tuning wise these might be new favourite in terms of balance and tonality. While I still enjoy them a great deal, the aria for example lack for me in treble, my hifiman don't have much bass extension. These sound just incredibly well defined to me while still being natural. Even the soundstage works for me. Movies are immersive.
