Headphones with a Balanced sound signature presents a precise sound and an enriching listening experience, where sounds are naturally presented without extreme emphasis on any region. With a pair of headphones with this sound signature, you can hear audio with clarity and detail. The sound is vivid and revealing, a perfect mixture of instruments and vocals, lows, mids, and highs. This sound signature works for most music listeners who like switching between various music genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Folk and Pop.

These Wired Earphones are designed for discerning music lovers. If you are someone who cares about audio quality deeply, you'll want a pair of Wired Earphones like these. You can expect these Wired Earphones to present you with a refined listening experience. The audio quality exhibited by these Wired Earphones is a beautiful mix of musicality, technical brilliance and high precision. These Wired Earphones deliver a spacious and open soundstage that compares listening to music on actual speakers.

These headphones are your go-to when you want to sit back and relax. 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. You can expect these headphones to conveniently work and pair with most devices like Smartphones and Laptops without needing an Amp or DAC. These offer the ultimate convenience, but we believe that if you care about an immersive listening experience and audio quality, these are not for you!

If you’re someone who enjoys listening to music while commuting, then you know the value of a good pair of headphones or earphones. These headphones allow you to listen to your favourite track, make that important call on the go or even block out the world for a focused podcast listening experience. You can expect these headphones to offer a seamless connectivity experience via a wired connection or a wireless one. They are lightweight in design and provide isolation or noise cancellation as an added functionality.

When you want to be constantly hooked to your music, you’d need a pair of lightweight headphones – one that you can wear and forget about instead of one that keeps pressing you down with its weight. And contrary to popular belief, the sound quality of your headphones doesn’t change with weight. Recent designs have combined durable, yet light materials to construct lightweight headphones that are sleeker, trendier and more comfortable than ever before. Of course, lightweight headphones are also easy to take along wherever you go – they don’t add weight to your bag or occupy too much space.

Every time you reach for the headphone cables to connect them to your headphones, and no matter how neatly you wrapped them up, they end up in a giant Gordian knot of frustration. Tangled cables are the bane of modern existence, and everyone owning a wired pair of headphones or IEM can attest to this. With advances in cable making techniques and radical approaches to manufacturing, there are now several solutions to this universal problem. You get Flat cables, Mesh Design cables, cables coated with exterior covers and cables designed with a zipper style design to avoid Tangle and attempt to solve the issue.

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

One thing all of our phones have in common is that they have replaced the portable media player. These headphones and devices are perfect to pair with your Android and iOS devices and offer functionality previously unknown. If you’re someone who usually switches between a variety of devices with different OS, then these are suited for you. You can expect these headphones and devices to connect seamlessly without any hassle and even offer OS-specific functionality depending on the device. Headphones and devices designed to work with Android and iOS come in wired and wireless formats. Quite often you will also find Hi-Fi equipment offering direct connectivity to devices with Android and iOS to simplify the connectivity process.

There’s a lot to like about the Moondrop Aria. They are meticulously designed, well-built, and great-sounding IEMs. Getting all this right at such a price point isn’t easy, and Aria knocks it out of the park. Easily my favourite IEM in this segment.

Aria was once a very popular in-ear monitor from Moondrop before it got discontinued. This IEM is making a comeback with a bang, with a new attractive design. Combining details, transparency and openness, the Moondrop Aria offers the best of beauty and comfort. It is rich in texture, comfortable to wear, and elegant in design.

Featuring a 10mm dual-cavity dynamic driver, N52 neodymium internal magnetic circuit along with a Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) LCD diaphragm, the Moondrop Aria offers high-end performance. This configuration delivers exceptional transient response along with a high resolution and detailed sound output. Enjoy an excellently balanced response with the brass cavity's volume control. These IEMs have an imported Daikoku-φ0.035mm CCAW voice coil which makes your music sound more transparent and natural.

The Aria has a composite sound chamber, multiple tuning holes, and various acoustic dampers, all of which contribute to the driver unit's precise frequency response and superb sonic performance. In compliance with the HRTF (head-related transfer function) and room response function, the frequency response of the Aria is optimised for modern recording. With an extended vertical sound field, the Moondrop Aria is a perfect IEM for excellent recording performance. To avoid distortion caused by high-frequency phase interference, the Aria features a newly designed high-frequency phase waveguide that makes treble more sensitive and natural.

Metal injection, moulding, CNC carved processing, and matte metal spray are all used to create the Moondrop Aria's high-grade metal cavity. These exquisite and moving pieces of art are ergonomically and aesthetically designed. The Moondrop Aria is paired with a replaceable silver-plated and nylon braided cable. It has a universal 0.78 2-pin interface. For even better sound, you can always replace this wire with a Bluetooth module, or a high-grade balanced cable. The nozzle of these earbuds is kept clean by a unique anti-clogging filter.

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

"Moondrop has introduced the new Aria, It sports the same robust metal shell with ergonomic design lavished with a new matte-black paint coat that looks properly dapper."

"Mid-bass is punchy and tight enough o not feel thickened but still lends some warmth to the overall sound. It does have small amount of bleed,but not enough to mask the lower mids. "

"I personally like Aria’s looks more than its older sibling Starfield as well as KXXS. Aria has a similar shell shape to KXXS but is a bit smaller and has slightly less shell depth in comparison."

"The Aria offers healthy amounts of rumble and slam for the average listener, though both bassheads and neutrality purists may be disappointed by what has become the consensus bass tuning for IEMs. "

"Moondrop Aria has been hot stuff for a while and rightfully so. I’ve been listening to it now for over a month and my impressions have drastically evolved since the first listen till now."

"It feels premium & comfortable in my ears. The cable hooks were also the right amount of sturdiness & flexibility which makes sure the IEMs do not fall off when you move around."

"Aria has a balanced sound with a subtle lift in the bass, upper midrange and lower treble. The overall tonality is U-shaped with some added warmth from the boosted bass response."

"I find treble on the Aria impressive. It is airy and open, with a lot of sparkle that is quite pleasant and which offers a good counterbalance to bass. Extension is quite good as well. "

"The Moondrop Aria is an extremely solid IEM that is worth well beyond its price. Its sound signature is spacious and highly enjoyable from its great bass to its elegant highs."

Crispy Highs, Smooth Mids and Tight Lows

As usual, the service and delivery offered by HeadphoneZone was great!
Moving to the earphones, I will state my pros and cons

PROS-
-Great pricing
-Lovely build quality and looks (Which are personal)
-The tonality is lovely with some clear highs, above-average mids and wonderful bass (Not for bass heads though)
-The soundstage is wide for the price range
-The carry case looks and feels pretty solid

CONS
-The fit of the wire is slightly unsatisfactory but it depends on each person. I will swap it out if it doesn't feel good over time
-No foam tips were offered along with the extra tips (The tin t3 and even the Blon Bl03 offered some decent foam tips

Overall, I absolutely recommend these for anyone looking to upgrade from something like the Tin T2s or the Blon Bl03s or some of the sub-5-6k iems. As per how they compare to the Starfields, most experts have claimed a very similar sound with a higher emphasis on the mids on the starfields but with a compromise in soundstage and the lows. So you can decide what is more important for you and take the call.

Thanks again HeadphoneZone!

Poor and pathetic quality

Dont buy this earphone. The product quality is absymal. I bought one three months ago and within three months the right side of earphone fell silent. Even the name of the company is not in their warranty claim. Extremely poor quality product that got worn out within 3 months

Stellar sound!

I have been using the Moondrop Aria since a couple of days. I've mostly played CS GO and listened to some music on my iPhone (lossless via the 3.5 mm dongle), Mac, and PC.

While playing CS GO, the first time I fired the AWP when using the Arias, I was in awe. I haven't heard the AWP like this ever. I've used the Sony WH 1000XM3 and Airpods pro before this. Superb "spacialness" in the game. You can pin point where other players are.

For music too, these are really good. The drop on Laung Gawacha by Nucleya is the best I've heard so far. Yes, to me the WH 1000XM3 does sound better but this come really close. The bass is not overpowering in a way that it will not let you hear other things, but it is definitely punchy. I'm no expert, but they seem to have achieve a near perfect balance on lows, mids, and highs.

The only thing I might change down the line are the ear tips. Might get foam eartips. @Headphonezone any recommendations for this please?

Other than that, I am extremely happy with this purchase.

Great sound! Punches above its weight in technicality

Well well ! Are you interested in punchy bass and clear mids ? Dont think much, just get the aria.

I was blown away by the texture in the bass! Look, if you like boomy bass which bleeds into mids look elsewhere. Aria is not for you. If you want to listen to the different layers of bass, all the instruments in the mids then aria is for you.

The imaging and sound stage are well above the price range and will not disappoint you. Its very comfortable to wear for long hours.

PS: I am not a believer in burn in but since the manual specifically said to do a 100 hour burn in, i was curious but used it straight out of the box. It still sounded great. I burned it for about a week and did notice better imaging but not very significant. So don’t think too much about burn in !!

Hey Karthik, we are so happy to hear that you are loving this product! Thanks for taking time and sharing this wonderful review. Happy listening! :)

Beautiful Sound

The Arias have really, really great imaging. I am at awe at the amount of details I can find ajd pinpoint in songs I've heard over a 100 times. I've also noticed that this imaging makes the sound a lot less fatiguing because even if you crank up the volume, it seems to enhance the seperation of instruments instead of just blasting the music louder. I am not a bass head but I do like bass presence and these deliver wonderfully. The bass isn't just punchy but also detailed. Very satisfying.

The downside for me is that the soundstage is somewhat small,giving the music a very "in your head" feeling. But, that's about it. And that's not a dealbreaker by any means.

I would recommend using high quality audio files for these though, simply because the detail retrieval is so good on these that low quality audio files actually soubd terribly mixed and carry a hiss.

Thank you for the awesome review Manas!

Absoultely Awesome Sound, No Hype!

No Hype, No complications, No nonsense just awesome sound, all at an affordable price. Imaging is good, instrument separation is good, Mid is slightly recessed not very lush, good enough, highs are sparkly but not too harsh, Bass is good too. (loving it)

HI Joseph,
Super delighted to hear that you are loving your purchase & thanks for the feedback. Cheers!
