I wouldn't put my hopes too high. Last "revision", starfield 2, was almost unanimously disliked, but more importantly it sounded nothing like the original starfield. If they follow the same trend, there's no guarantee that this will sound like the og Aria, which was praised for its tuning and for being basically a starfield but cheaper. They changed the original starfield tuning for the worse, and we can only hope they don't do the same with the Aria 2. Even if they don't change it, it's just going to be an Aria with marginally better build and what looks like a decently better cable, anyway probably not worth it if you already have the Aria. And even if they change the tuning and it's still good, there are already many other single dd options in that price and even under, budget dd iems are kind of a solved technology nowadays. Still, let's just wait for reviews and see if this becomes a better standard recommendation over the og Aria
Yeah, I saw the whole debacle with SF2 so I don't have high hopes. Even if it does happen, I guess I will just go with Aria or Aria SE. Both are 10 bucks cheaper than this so it will be a win for me lol.
