Is MoYu the Beats by Dre of cubing?

[Johnny]

Their 5x5 through 7x7 cubes are marginally, if at all, better than ShengShou's. But to justify such a huge price gap, there also has to be a big quality gap- and there isn't. MoYu's big cubes have big issues, meaning that they aren't worth paying 2 to three times as much as for ShengShou cubes that perform about as well.

In short, if MoYu wants to charge so much higher prices than ShengShou, their cubes need to be redesigned to be worth the investment from a consumer's perspective.

Nah, Beats by Dre aren't even as good as headphones cheaper than them, and get by on name recognition that has nothing to do with headphone quality.

I would say if you want to make the comparison, MoYu would be like Bose. Bose speakers are much more expensive, but only a little better than the competition, and they get by on their reputation of quality, much like MoYu..

I have only bought a living, that is the only moyu 3x3 I own. (I have a skewb). I just use a zhanchi though, it was my first speed cube and has been lubed with Vaseline many times

FTFY, autocorrect?

I think Shengshou cubes are just cheaper than normal. If you want a better comparison to Beats, try V Cubes.

No moyu cubes are worth the extra cost, beats headphones are terrible and no worth 25% of thier price. The zhanchi however is a better comparison i think they are total crap compared to what people say they are. They pop all the time, are slow, and cant cut past line to line, my aolong i can hand to a 17month yr old and he can hand it back in one piece, its much faster and it cuts the line to line beyond 45 degrees

MoYu = Sennheiser

Do you guys truly believe that the AoFu, AoChuang and AoShi, with the major issues they have, are worth such a huge price?

Aochuang: yes (at least coming off an unmodded SS). Other two: no. But you are listing some of Moyu's worst puzzles. The Aolong, Weilong, Liying, Aosu, pyraminx, and skewb are all great, and many of them are not much more expensive than competitors. Then there's the Guanlong which is both quite good and extremely cheap.

What are these issues? Other people may disagree. The only one I heard was not worth getting was their 6x6 and the 5x5 is on par is a well modded SS.

What about the Moyu Skewb, Pyraminx, AoLong and AoSu? Are they not worth their price? (The only Moyu puzzles I have are the AoSu, Pyra and Skewb.)

V-Cubes is indeed a better comparison than Moyu. Their puzzles are very expensive and not as good as more recently released puzzles. They as far as speedcubers are concerned out dated.

Do you truly believe you know what you're talking about? Aochuang, absolutely. Better than any Modded SS out there. Their 6x6 and 7x7 are exactly two cubes that are not as popular, among a vast sea of other hugely popular cubes. In other words, their prices are slightly higher but the performance and quality is typically worth it.

Agreed. The answer to this question is: no.

I think they can't be called the Beats Of Dre if Moyu is of equal/higher quality. Beats Of Dre is just crap but is several times more expensive than other much better (but less famous products). Also, Moyu has really good lower order cubes...

 

[Deleted member 19792]

This question is confusing.

I am a bit confused about Kirjava. Is he drunk when he makes logical posts and sober when he types "ajdoifjadiofjaiol"?

EDIT:

Nah not really. MoYu is more like the Chipotle to Taco Bell.

 

[qqwref]

I actually really like the Moyu 7x7x7. Maybe it's just me being terrible at modding cubes, but it's turned better than any other 7x7x7 I have. My mini SS 7x7x7 would have been good but it had some weird locking issues on the middle layers.

I'm not sure what is up with your Zhanchi, but mine never ever pop, and the corner cutting is good. More than "line to line" isn't even necessary.

On the thecubicle the AoChuang is a little over 3 times more expensive than a SS. A SS which requires a lot of modding to become comparable. If it takes 4 hrs to mod that's $6 an hour. I consider that a terrible rate of pay.

As for the 6 and 7 you either didn't do your research or are lying to make your point.

 

[SenorJuan]

Are MoYu cubes designed by a Doctor, liek those Beats is?

 

[Audiophile]

I am an audiophile, and I found this post insulting.
Moyu would be like Hifiman
V-Cubes would definitely be Beats

 

[Maccoboy]

^^ I'm more of an AKG guy but yeah, I agree with this guy.

Only a few of their cubes are more expensive than others, most are fairly priced and almost all are worth what they charge and in some cases more.

Have you tried the AoChuang? Mine cost more than twice what I paid for the ShengShou but it was worth every penny.

The Moyu turns so much better than the SS (unmodded) that I'm more than happy with my purchase.
