The first type has a smaller core diameter (41mm) to fit the single DD IEMs, such as the Starfield and the KXXS, along with the SSP/SSR. dual-cavity internal magnetic high-performance dynamic driver combines with the first generation DLC composite diaphragm, delivering excellent transient response and high resolution sound details.

It follows the companies popular VDSF target frequency response, which is a safe, balanced and pretty enjoyable tuning, produced with its latest DLC diaphragm dynamic driver. If you want to use the Aria with a device that doesn’t have an analog output or headphone jack, you’ll need some sort of DAC or a headphone amplifier.If you’re someone who is looking to listen to music without worrying too much about the technicalities, then these are the perfect fit for you. Warm mild V-shaped with laidback upper-mids that benefit long hours listening with sprinkle of upper treble on top for micro details. Experientially, the isolation performance of the Moondrop Aria seems a bit better than the measurements score suggests, but the chart lends a good baseline idea. The cable sports a plastic (rubber) Y splitter in black color that sports some product related brandings (Moondrop) on its surface.

Personally i do find that the cable can be better as it is definitely limiting the performance of Aria Snow Edition. It’s slightly different, with a black design instead of a white one, as well as slightly different materials in the cable. Unfortunately, another thing common here to the previous Aria is that the textured snowflake design is still a paint coating, susceptible to chipping when exposed to more humid and hot conditions.Lastly, just because the range is 5Hz to 36kHz, that doesn’t say anything about how well the earbuds reproduce those frequencies. Like most wired earbuds, the Moondrop Aria doesn’t have an IP rating to ensure durability against water or dust. The included replaceable cable features a more rigid section meant to loop over your ear, which I find quite comfortable, but it might not be to everyone’s taste. The Moondrop Aria Snow Edition shows a pretty transparent and airy midrange character with a fairly forward presentation.
