I had some Monoprice MP80 headphones that I really like. Good fit, good isolation, a sound profile I liked and nice carrying case.

Unfortunately they were damaged while traveling recently.

I got them at the bargain price of $20 on sale.

I am a bit heartbroken, I was really pleased with them especially for the price I got them at.

The Linsoul and the Moondrop are the two recommendations I have received on other forums.

Any opinions an this, please?

Thanks.

I've had both at the same time. The Zero:2 is much better tuned for a variety of music. The Chu II is too much bass and mids and treble just didn't sound as good as the Zero:2 The Moondrop Kato is the big upgrade to the Zero:2 in case you get them and want to bump it up from there.

I went with the Linsoul 7Hz Crinnacle Zero:2. Linsoul’s eBay store gave me an offer of $22.49 so I bought a couple.

Thanks for the constructive input.

These were an awesome choice, thanks! Great clarity and definition plus good comfort and isolation. I love them.

After reading all the hype here about the Zero:2, I got a pair when they dropped under $20 -- my first budget hype train in a while.

Turns out they are not for everybody. For me it seems that the short nozzle makes it almost impossible to get a good seal -- and I tried dozens of tips: silicone, Comply, AliExpress foams, double flanges. I found one pair of silicone tips that works in one ear and briefly stays put but comes loose in the other. So frustrating.
