Welp I‘ve already bought them but let‘s see how they are. I just recently listened to Etymotic Er2se and the clarity is great, you can hear some extra instruments compared to the Chu and the soundstage is maybe 10cm wider but I want something more engaging and less clinical (er2se on tubes with 6db bass boost? (joke)

Sometimes they did ;) These ear hooks are terrible, I stopped using them… with only the cables it’s fine for the most part

Yeah you‘re right, it was probably just a coincidence. If there was a small ledge beneath the filters, that would’ve helped though

Yes 7hz Zero is really good I suppose but I bought the Truthear x Crinacle Zero. After the chus I wanted something with more bass ;) I‘ve been using the Chus with a 4db bass boost on my amp (for some tracks, not for others as it makes vocals less realistic)

Yeah could be. I‘ve noticed one side getting quieter on the Chus a while ago, now that the filters are gone they sound equally loud again. Shipping cost for new filters would prob be rather high if they‘re coming from china. I ordered the Truthear x Crinacle Zero, I hope that will last for longer :)

Wireless is a bit tough but I‘d recommend the Final ux3000, they are rather inexpensive and sound good. (Better than the Xm5). Apart from that you could go for the Momentum 3, Hifiman Diva or Technics EAH-A800. But I wouldn’t really recommend 300$ headphones for a 5y/o

lol. On a positive note, the paint didn’t chip on my unit at all. Some people blame me for wearing these 30 min after the shower but I always dry my ears and my other IEMs never had similar issues. If this led to the glue dissolve, I‘m pretty sure people living in areas with high humidity experience this problem too. Or people who do work outs with these.

I always just use my towel for that. I‘ve been using a cheap KZ IEM for 2 years and never had such issue.

Read again... after showering. By that I mean, half an our after that. Obviously I don't listen to music with my IEMs while being in the shower xD My ears were barely damp, I couldn't feel any moisture on the IEMs.

Now I orderer Truthear x Crinacle Zeros. This was my final push to do it… the chus sound a bit more piercing now, but still work fine but I assume that dust and other particles will get into the IEMs through the nasal now. Can‘t recommend buying the Chus now anymore, they only held up for 5 months. My ears weren’t really wet, just a little bit moist. Still, the adhesive dissolved :(

187 users picked lights off thats how it should be

I don‘t really get the same bass on iems that I get with headphones… maybe it has something to do with my ear or my seal but the sub bass just sounds smaller

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