So cheap... I got the SHP9500 and Fidelio X3.. but problem with SHP9500 is the freaking ear pads is bukeyi... too thin and my ears are literally touching the hard part of the headphone inside... feel uncomfortable...

Already ordered this ear pads hopefully will fix this issue.

Work out nicely, did have some work to take off the old one... but found a video and then with the help of a long metal ruler to pry it open. I managed to install the new pads and wonderful my ears no longer touch the inside of the headphone. Awesome.

any recommendations for wired earphones, type-C kind? 50-100 SGD range, for getting max quality on Tidal on handphone.

Thanks a lot! Is the moondrop chu 2 having a condensation problem? How about size? Prefer a smaller sized IEM honestly. Any other suggestions besides chu 2, for me to test/compare? SG got any place to test these chinese IEMs?

moondrop chu is fixed cable
moondrop chu ii has detachable cables, meaning you can buy a cable to replace the original cable, one that has type-c connector instead of 3.5mm headphone jack

best is to check website and read the details
https://moondroplab.com/en/products/chu-ii
so it comes with cable which connects to dsp then to phone's usb-c
OR you can cable direct to 3.5mm la?

the DSP is it a DAC or ?

Using Creative Zen Hybrid SXFI for close to a year. Still good, I like the SXFI mode, and can really hear clarity, like concert. Battery life is very good and can use wired one also.
