![]() The waifu is classy and meditative not too girly or erotized. The presentation is beautiful, with lot of care to details. PACKAGING is as fancy as it can get for the price. And having listened to Sony EX1000 that use Liquid Crystal diaphragm too, I can conclude that some timbre similarities do occur, especially in texture even if more emphasized than Aria, anyway, the tonal balance being very different similarities stop there, in timbre brightish and very transparent rendering. If you wanna know where the secret of Timbre hides, I think you must give a look at diaphragm material. Aria is the only one using Liquid Crystal Diaphragm, while Starfield use Carbon nanotube diaphragm and KXX’s Diamond-like Carbon nanotube. ![]() Now, if we talk timbre and overall musicality, it’s another story because those 3 IEM doesn’t use the same type of dynamic driver. Priced 80$, the Aria can be put in the same family than Starfield and KXX’s, and while some would think it’s 30$ cheaper price could mean it’s technically inferior to those 2, it would be misleading because the Aria are in fact superior to the Starfield in that aspect. Most Moondrop IEM feels like the tuner try to find a compromise between W and U shape signature, thus the Harman target welcomes help. Rarely you will find fast punchy bass with proper kick drum presence and separation from Moondrop earphones, but rarely you will find bass bleed that hollow mids too. More time goes, more it’s evident that Moondrop has an ”house sound”, which is inspired by Harman acoustic target curve but with their own twist about finding the right balance between naturalness, crispness and dynamic weight. Moondrop doesn’t need an introduction anymore, they are well known among the audio community for best-selling releases like their Hybrid Moondrop Blessing or numerous competent single-DD release like super budget Spaceship-SSR-SSP or flagship DD like KXXs, Starfield and now the ARIA that seem to get important recognition like all those mentioned before. ![]() Pros: Big and Deep Soundstage, Realist Timbre, Smooth Tonal Balance, Clear and delicately detailed, macro-resolution, Treble extension, Clean bass, Safe but lively Harman tuning, Good transparency, a Step up from pricier Starfield, exquisite construction-design, price valueĬons: Lack of kick drum impact and presence, a bit thin timbre, lack of overall dynamic weight, lack some bite and edge in attack, not the most versatile sounding IEM ![]()
