At just $20, the Chu could very well be your next IEM.

Olympus Oms, 25 Jun 2022The fact that you didn't even read the first comment, ... moreOh, lad, your first comment ("good luck with the sales. 9 out of 10 phones today doesn't have jack") is pointless.

There are probably currently still more models of phones with jack that phones without it. There are more models of phones that cost less than $500 (most of which has jack) than there are that cost more than $500.

But even those without it could still use this via adapter. Either way, your first comment doesn't deserve a response. The maker of this would likely even rake in more money from their sales in a year than you have in the last 10 years of your life. Good luck making as much from your job on gsmarena.

Now, go laugh your sorry arse outta this earth. 😂🤣🤡

          You can't seem to answer the question asked, instead prefers to run around in circles. LMAO.

            "this can easily be remedied by listening to better artists." Did I read that right? omg!

              I rock MonkVE, old school, style 'pods ($8 last pair) decent sound,
              and better sound with the foam condoms on.
              you can sleep on your side with them too.

                Bailey, 22 Jun 2022So basically your words were just a boast about what you have. Not really, to be honest, modest equipment, only 80gbp each for the marantz equipment on eBay UK, not expensive at all, but it does still sound good and I serviced it in recent years

                This hifi equipment was actually purchased in 1998 when I was a student at university and kept it since, even moved it one country to next

                        lonte bajingan, 21 Jun 2022but the facts is better option than sony, but i agree there... moreIt is good to have multiple pairs. Both wired and wireless and true wireless. Both headphones and earbuds and in ear monitors. I have 8 pair of different types. But if you want to have only one pair Sony is the best. Sony is really universal. I mostly like XB series. Not that accurate sound but very pleasant sound and cool bass.

                          lonte bajingan, 21 Jun 2022but the facts is better option than sony, but i agree there... moreChinese iems/ audiophile manufacturer has created new market for affordable iems, the niche market for affordable iems and daps has expanded, especially as Chinese manufacture their own balanced armature drivers and the quality improves over time

                          But if you think sony is expensive, there are plenty of iems manufacturers which will make your eyes water and significantly worse than Sony Price strategy, manufacturer such as astell and Kern, jh Audio, campfire, 64 audio, vision ears, sennheiser

                            MasEnha, 21 Jun 2022Indeed there are great cIEM with good price in the market a... morewe are in the same page, and i used blon 03 for my daily driver its more than enough imo 🙌🏻 i used fiio ka3 with sony xz2 compact + poweramp

                              lonte bajingan, 21 Jun 2022but the facts is better option than sony, but i agree there... moreIndeed there are great cIEM with good price in the market and don't forget we have VSonic and Fiio also to upgrade. My first cIEM was VSonic GR07 MK II and my last one is BLON BL03. They sounds totally different by the way :D

                                Rkm, 21 Jun 2022And I'm asking again, WHY?And I'm saying again. Because.

                                  He basically said that even if a soundcard and external dedicated dac amp stack, even if they have the same components ( i gave him an example which had the exact chip with better amp module than his "soundcard"), the soundcard will sound better. He said only soundcards are the real thing.

                                  I asked him WHY, he tried to deflect and repeated it again, so I've asked him WHY once again. He probably didn't get anything from google because he is wrong.
