I have both, and I retired the Chu in favor of the Zero, but it was because of the horrible ear hooks and sticky little cable, not the sound. I bought them both to get a feel for different sound signatures before spending money on headphones anyway, and they both helped a little with that.

The Zeros are emergency back ups in my pack, but at work, I mostly listen to my Airpod Pro 2s and use the Aria when they're charging. At home, it's strictly headphones. I use the felt pouch from the Chu to store my Qudelix 5K. Coupled with the little bubble wrap pouch that the 5K came in, it is an awesome storage and transport solution. I tossed the Chus into a laptop bag in case I ever forget to take something along to plug into (or pair with) the laptop. I actually like the sound of the Chu, though.

Yeah I wish Moondrop made it cost a bit more, but add a 2 pin connector to make the cables replaceable. I don't understand why they made the cables non-removable but also gave it a trash tier cable...

I would love to replace the connector with something else, if I could.

Quite a bummer tbh. Ever since I got the Chu I've been trying to find a Chu but with removable cable

i think they are trying to do the koss model of making a good sounding headphone but without removable cable so people keep buying the same iem forever when their cable breaks

Yeah, but could’ve been a few bucks more and still be great, ya know? I wish it was, because it deserved more, it is so good.

Also the CCA CRA is even cheaper and it has replaceable cables.

Is AirPods Pro in terms of sound better than arias ?

I don't think so, but this subredded is filled with a lot of Americans/ apple enthusiast. 90% of Americans under the age of 30 using iPhone and there is a bizarre cultural obsession with that company.

IMO, yes, but I haven't heard the original Pros. They aren't 3x better though, but they cost 3x as much. If you're looking just for sound and don't need to make calls with them or use Siri with them or something, then the Arias are a better value. They are close to the Pro 2 in sound quality.

That sounds like an awesome storage and transport solution, I can truly imagine being overawed with the storage and transport solution described above

Awesome
