Moondrop LAN II is my pick among moondrop headphones with mic for meetings, thanks to its interchangeable cable and included 3.5mm adapter.
Moondrop CHU II DSP is the runner-up if you want a direct USB-C connection and a microphone.
• Moondrop LAN ll Earphone — best for flexible wired meeting setups; pick this if you want a detachable 0.78mm cable with a 3.5mm adapter.
• Moondrop CHU II High — best for wired listening with replaceable acoustic filters; pick this if its 0.78mm cable and detachable nozzle filter suit your setup.
• Moondrop CHU II DSP — best for USB-C calls and listening; pick this if you want a microphone, three bass presets, and a direct USB-C connection.
• Moondrop ARIA 2 — best for detailed wired listening; pick this if you value its dynamic driver design and interchangeable 0.78mm cable.
The LAN II is a wired in-ear monitor with a 10mm dynamic driver, a stainless-steel housing, and a detachable 0.78mm cable. Its included cable has a 4.4mm balanced plug, and a 3.5mm single-ended adapter is also supplied. That gives it more connection flexibility than a fixed-plug earphone, provided your computer, phone, or adapter works with one of those connections.
For meetings, the replaceable cable is the main practical advantage. The product description says a microphone cable can be used for conference calls, live use, or gaming, but a microphone is not listed as included. So this is a flexible starting point, not the simplest out-of-box choice if you need a mic right away. Check that any replacement cable you consider has a compatible microphone and 0.78mm connectors.
Moondrop offers two LAN II tunings: REF emphasizes mid-high frequencies and instrumental presentation, while POP gives more attention to mid-bass and vocals. That distinction matters if you also want to listen to music between calls. The REF version is described for instrumental and classical music; POP is aimed more toward vocal and pop material. The product information identifies this item as LAN II REF, so I would not assume it includes the POP tuning.
The trade-off is connection complexity. A 4.4mm plug and 3.5mm adapter are useful options, but neither guarantees compatibility with every laptop or phone, and the listed package does not include a microphone cable. I put it first for buyers who want to choose or replace their cable rather than get a built-in mic and USB-C connection in one package.
How We Research
We compare products from their published specs and features; the verdicts below are our independent editorial opinions.
The CHU II High is a wired in-ear headphone with a 10mm dynamic driver, an interchangeable 0.78mm cable, and a replaceable acoustic filter at the front of its brass nozzle. Its aluminum-magnesium alloy diaphragm is designed to balance low weight and rigidity, while the suspension uses two polymer materials intended to support punchier bass and reduce nonlinear distortion.
For everyday listening, the replaceable filter is a useful maintenance feature: the front portion of the nozzle can be detached so the acoustic filter can be changed if it is blocked or damaged. The cable can also be replaced, or used with compatible Bluetooth neckband or ear-hook accessories. Those details offer some room to adapt the earphones over time, but the listed product itself is wired and has a 3.5mm jack.
This model is not the most straightforward pick for meetings. The supplied feature information does not identify a microphone, and it does not describe a USB-C connection. It may fit someone who already has a compatible mic cable or external audio setup, but a buyer who needs to speak on calls should verify that the cable they plan to use provides a microphone and works with their device.
Its main strength is its replaceable filter and cable, paired with a metal acoustic cavity and brass nozzle. The trade-off is that it leaves more of the meeting setup to the buyer. If you want an out-of-box mic, the CHU II DSP is the clearer fit; if you want adaptable wired listening and already have call audio covered, this standard CHU II is worth considering.
The CHU II DSP is the most direct match here for a USB-C meeting setup. It is a wired in-ear model with a USB-C connection and a microphone identified in the product title. Unlike the CHU II High, its supplied information describes digital signal processing and three bass presets that can be selected through the MOONDROP LINK app.
That USB-C plug can simplify use with compatible devices that have a USB-C port: there is no need to start with a separate 3.5mm connection. The microphone makes it a more natural option for voice calls than the other models in this guide, whose provided specifications do not identify an included mic. Device compatibility still matters, so check that your computer or phone supports the connection and app features you intend to use.
The CHU II DSP shares several design ideas with the CHU II High, including an aluminum-magnesium alloy diaphragm, a brass nozzle, and a metal acoustic cavity. Its 0.78mm cable is interchangeable, which gives it a route to compatible replacement cables or accessories. The three bass settings add a listening adjustment that the other models do not specify, though they are described as bass presets rather than meeting-specific sound controls.
The compromise is that this is a wired USB-C model, not a wireless headset, and the listed noise control is none. Its in-ear fit may help separate it physically from surrounding sound, but it should not be mistaken for active noise cancellation. I’d choose it over the LAN II when the priority is a built-in mic and direct USB-C use, rather than selecting a separate microphone cable.
The ARIA 2 is a wired in-ear headphone built around a dynamic driver and a 0.78mm interchangeable cable. Its design includes a composite magnetic circuit, a TiN ceramic-coated dome diaphragm, and an alloy-cast housing finished with CNC milling. The separate brass nozzle is gold-plated, according to the product details.
Those construction choices are aimed at audio reproduction rather than call convenience. The manufacturer describes the driver as designed for a wide dynamic response and low distortion, and the diaphragm as intended to deliver extended treble detail. For someone who wants one pair of in-ear headphones for music and occasional meetings, the detachable cable is helpful because it leaves open the possibility of using a compatible replacement cable.
However, the supplied specifications do not identify a microphone or a specific plug type such as USB-C or 3.5mm. The product information lists a 0.78mm two-pin connection, so buyers should confirm what cable and source connection are included and whether a mic cable is compatible with their setup. I would not pick the ARIA 2 as the uncomplicated choice for frequent meetings without checking those details first.
Its appeal is the emphasis on driver and housing design, plus a cable that can be changed. The limitation is that the meeting essentials are less explicit than they are for the CHU II DSP. In my view, it is more compelling for someone prioritizing wired listening and willing to sort out the microphone connection separately.
We compared the published specifications and features relevant to wired listening, cable flexibility, microphone use, and device connections.

FAQ
The CHU II DSP is identified as having a microphone and uses a wired USB-C connection. The supplied information for the other three models does not identify an included microphone.
No active noise cancellation is specified for these models. The CHU II DSP lists no noise control, so shoppers seeking ANC head phones for meetings should look for a product that explicitly provides active noise cancellation.
The LAN II has a replaceable 0.78mm cable, and its description says a microphone cable can be used for conference calls. A microphone cable is not listed as included, so you would need to confirm compatibility and select one with a mic.
The CHU II DSP is the clearest option because it has a USB-C connection and a microphone in its product details. Confirm compatibility with your device before choosing it.
For meetings, my recommendation is the Moondrop CHU II DSP if you want a USB-C connection and a microphone without sourcing a separate mic cable. Choose the LAN II instead if interchangeable cables matter more and you are prepared to confirm a compatible microphone cable and device connection.
