Sadly no detachable cable...

:(

At this point they are just throwing stuff at the wall a seeing which sticks.

You can slightly see the cable on the picture, it looks just like the Chu.

Would a roughly 60$- 100$ version of this with detachable cables not have made more sense? The Chu seems to have been quite well-received. The main issues were more to do with build quality than sound. So why not fix up the build and maintain what’s good about the sound in a more sturdy chassis? What do you guys think?

Yeah I guess they don't sell Chu's with detachable cable to keep their other products competitive but it's frustrating because they're better than the Aria for certains genres imo. But I don't wanna buy a soldering set just to make a mod on a 20$ IEM lol

And considering like 70% of the best sellers on Shenzen are Moondrop products I'd say they found a good way to make them sticky.

Which is interesting considering the CHUs definitely stuck already lol, this isn't really necessary unless they fix the filter issues (They won't), make it a detachable cable (Doesn't seem like it from this photo) or I guess perhaps they just gave it the Quarks treatment and made this a DSP Type-C version.

Only thing I can see besides that is maybe add a bit more bass, wouldn't really call that a refinement though.

I don’t understand why everyone complains about IEMs not having detachable cables. I understand the customization and better durability aspect of having a detachable cable, but it isn’t a deal breaker personally if the IEM doesn’t have one. I’ll honestly just remember to treat them better and keep them away from the cat 😂. Plus, it eases my mind to know that they were probably designed to withstand normal everyday use anyway.

For this price I agree. For anything above 50 euro imo a detachable cable is a must

Noobdrop

The problem with chus is that the cable likes to throw itself off your ear unlike say a bullet iem. And unlike a bullet iem, you can’t wear the chu’s cormfortably with the cable down. People would be much less mad if they atleast gave it a pre formed earhook.

Personally I find detachable cables to be much easier to wrap and unwrap, it doesn’t stick. The earhooks are also a must.

What really takes me off it's the fact they updated the Quarks with DSP, so where do this fit into?, They already replaced the Spaceship with the Chu and this would be the replacement for the Quarks but seems like a bad business management to have updated a product that was/is going out soon, unless they want to have something similar to the 5.0 and 5.2 Nekocake, which it could be plausible but then again their own products are fighting at this point.

Good ol' classic moondorp, fighting itself because there's no "true" competitor.

I genuinely think the Chu is the worst $20 set to come out recently.

I mean, I do wear the Chus bullet style albeit I do shove it in slightly deeper into my ears than normal

Am I the only person to do this lmao

Probably not, but it just feels off to me when I wear them like that

I don’t think it needs better tuning but rather improved technicalities

Perhaps they will replace the SSP/SSR. Since I have not heard shit of it since.

Because of the QC issues? The tuning is still great for 20 oil-rapers.
