MOONDROP ARIA DRIVER

The sound impressions below have been described using the stock cable, but because of this insecure connection, I did also listen with a TRI Through silver plated cable. Although it had a nice feel, the cable was rather prone to tangling and I also encountered a problem with the connection as the left earpiece constantly became detached. The pre-formed earguides are supple and comfortable. The 2-pin connectors are made of black plastic and feature channel identification. It has a black metal 90° 3.5mm plug, Y-split and chin slider. The supplied cable is a two-core silver plated OFC type with a braided fabric wrap. The faceplates are smoothly contoured and the build quality is excellent.

There is a circular vent for the dynamic driver on the inner surface and another at the base of the nozzle, which is fitted with a replaceable mesh cover.

The name “Aria” is written on the side of the earpiece and the 2-pin sockets are recessed. They are fairly weighty but perfectly balanced. The earpieces are made from CNC formed aluminium finished in matt black and decorated with curved gold linear accents similar to those on the box. The packaging and presentation has a premium feel and is commensurate with a much higher price. The contents comprise: Moondrop Aria IEMs, 0.78mm 2-pin cable, round zipped case, 6 pairs of silicone eartips, 6 pairs of spare nozzle filters, plastic tweezers (for filter replacement) & documentation. Inside, the earpieces are presented in a foam cut-out.Ī flap with similar graphics to the box lifts up to reveal the black textured case which contains the cable and tips. Removing the sleeve reveals a black box with a design of curved gold lines surrounding the name “Aria” in a classic script font. The Aria comes in Moondrop’s traditional style with an outer sleeve featuring a cute romantic waifu figure on the front and a list of specifications and a frequency graph on the reverse.
