Customer Reviews
These are the best Type C headphones / IEM's I have ever heard. Excellent value for the price.
Thank you for your awesome rating!
Moondrop - JIU
Hey there, thank you for the awesome ratings!
I am.not a audiophile, I just need a audio device which can play variety ofuaic, songs at most it's perfection and I wanna say Moondrop does that for me. Honestly, the raw sound output from ear is clean but lacks thumpy bass, i repeat it only lacks thumpy bass not complete bass. But the right EQ you get whatever you want. I personally liked Moondrop Jiu very much. The only thing which bugs me is wire and i am not complaining I just feel the wore everytime I use it because I was a TWS user for long long time.
The driver works very well, I only listen it at 50-60% volume on my phone and 30-40 volume on my laptop. And this is enough.
If you are planning to buy an IEM at 2k then this definitely should be your list.
Hey Raj, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! It means a lot to us. We are so happy to hear that you are loving our products and services.
Great pair of iems for the price, I previously had the cca cra which were great, these felt like a good step up from those in terms of clarity.. I just boost the bass with wavelet to suit my tastes, other than that, great build quality and packaging..and I also love the leather case they bundled with it. Overall, thank you headphone zone for this great product
Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you're pleased with the Moondrop - JIU and the quality of the sound.

Moondrop - JIU
Hey there, thank you for the awesome ratings!
This is my first iem and once I received it. It's blown away my mind and the clarity, bass was soo good. Definitely recommeded
Hey Pavan, thanks a lot for your amazing review!
This is my first iem and audio quality is great as I was using cheap boat neckband I can hear audio difference immediately the packaging is great only thing I am concerned is wire quality lets hope it will not break that easily the earpiece is made of metal and heavy but when I attached the hooks I feel weightless then the pouch it comes with is good but it can be bit bigger so I don't squeeze it in and neck hook to clip it can be useful
We are glad you had a comfortable shopping experience with us and it is delightful to read such positive reviews on your product! Cheers and Welcome to the club!

DESCRIPTION
MOONDROP IS BACK WITH YET ANOTHER BUDGET-ORIENTED IEM - THE JIU
Moondrop, a well-known Chi-Fi audio company, has recently launched its latest in-ear monitor - the Moondrop JIU. The JIU presents an exceptional listening experience with its 10mm dynamic driver with a titanium-plated composite diaphragm. The JIU's sound signature is tuned to achieve a natural yet detailed sound, with a focus on clarity. Alongside its excellent audio performance, the JIU features a comfortable and durable design, making it suitable for audiophiles and casual listeners. JIU is a brand new budget-friendly IEM with sound optimised with DSP technology.
OPTIMISED TO DELIVER DETAILED AND CLEAR AUDIO WITH DSP TECHNOLOGY
Moondrop is researching hard into the DSP territory with back-to-back releases. Following the success of Quarks DSP and Droplet, Moondrop is here with a bespoke DSP single dynamic driver IEM, the Moondrop JIU. At a far glance, the JIU looks like a Moondrop CHU with a Type-C termination. Moondrop has taken the cavity structure and driver configuration of the Chu and further optimised its performance using DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology for the JIU. The optimisations done via DSP are promising quality upgrades and improved sound while being easy on the pocket. Moondrop has optimised the sound performance with built-in SOC that helps create a balanced listening experience with a natural soundstage.
FEATURES A HIGH-PERFORMANCE 10MM DYNAMIC DRIVER FOR CLEAN SOUND
Moondrop JIU features a 10mm dynamic driver unit that offers an enhanced audio performance by using PVD (physical vapour deposition) technology. This technique involves depositing Titanium metal on a polymer film to create nanometer-sized crystals on its surface layer, which is then moulded integrally. The resulting diaphragm has improved rigidity and damping, leading to better treble extension and details. Additionally, JIU utilises Aria's decentralised dynamic structure, a 10mm composite cavity with a high-frequency phased waveguide, N52 ND magnet internal magnetic circuit, and 0.035mm ultra-thin imported CCAW sound coil to achieve high energy conversion efficiency and deliver exceptional performance with a full dynamic range and rich details.
EXPERTLY TUNED FOLLOWING MOONDROP’S VDSF TARGET RESPONSE
The Moondrop JIU has been fine-tuned by Moondrop using their renowned VDSF target response curve, which is a parametric target that uses composite elements to restore audio quality to mastering levels. The JIU delivers a clear and crisp audio presentation with an open soundstage experience, which is preferred by many audiophiles. To achieve this, Moondrop has developed a unique cavity structure using FEA simulation and 3D printing technology that matches the desired target curve.
CAREFULLY DESIGNED ACOUSTIC CAVITY STRUCTURE WITH ZINC ALLOY SHELLS
To match the desired frequency response, Moondrop has professionally designed the acoustic cavity structure using FEA (Finite Element Analysis) simulation and 3D printing technology. The pair features high-quality Zinc Alloy material. The metal outer cavity is manufactured from alloy materials using melting and injection moulding technology, thus creating a stable, precise, and aesthetically pleasing shell that is durable and reliable. The overall design is lightweight but also has a solid, robust build structure.
USB TYPE-C TERMINATION FOR EASY CONNECTIVITY AND HIGH-QUALITY MIC
The Moondrop JIU comes with a USB Type-C termination, which is a convenient feature as most smartphones no longer have a 3.5mm audio jack. With this feature, you can easily use the JIU with your smartphone, laptop, or computer. Moreover, the JIU has a built-in microphone, allowing you to use it for different purposes, such as audio-video experience, online meetings, online classes, and gaming. The microphone is of high quality and uses MEMS technology.
