Hi there, I’m thinking about getting my first pair of IEMs, as I’ve never had any before and would like to have a wired option that is easy to travel with. I’m specifically looking at the Moondrop Chu 2 as they seem quite affordable and a good starting point.

However my phone does not have AUX anymore (Pixel 7A) and I doubt I’ll get a phone that has one in the future as I want to continue to use GrapheneOS.

Does anyone have any experience regarding the use of these dongles. Is there something I should be aware of before doing a purchase?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I see on the pictures(website link) that it’s possible to purchase this with an adapter between the dongle and the IEMs. Is this strictly necessary?

    The USB-C version of the Moondrop Chu 2 comes with a DSP cable, which basically is a digital tuning refinement on top of the IEM’s base tuning, and I believe you can change profiles on those using an app. You can simply just get that and also a regular replacement 3.5mm cable, if you’d like.
