I have the Moondrop Sparks TW earbuds. They sound excellent. But I considered a wired Moondrop IEM. Not sure now.

i was browsing through and a coworker of mine was like what the hell are you looking at?! i swear, sometimes in this hobby the stuff can look like the sketchiest kink alien sex toys or something to people who have no clue what they're looking at ๐
great review though. OG classics have set the bar too high it seems which is a good thing for the hobby but not so great if upgrading was where you're at. everything looks clean too.
I showed some iems I wanna get to my friend and she just told me "they're scary"
Well, if you have no knowledge of size, etymotics iems will look really really really weird
Thanks for posting. Was waiting to hear how these reviewed before deciding between these or the Hexa.
I have the hexas and I have no urge to get anything other than blessing 2 dusk or blessing 3. It's stellar for the price.
I bought the OG aria and returned them for being a bit too dark for my taste. Bought the hexa after and decided to keep them. To me, the Hexa is similar to my hd6xx but with a bit more "fun" by adding a little mre high and low.
Can you elaborate? I'm just getting into iems and don't know which to get!
The Hexa rips. Not mindblowing, but super solid across the board.
I've been using a Moondrop Jiu for a while now and I love it but just want a bit more low end. Not anything crazy or basshead levels, not that, just everything abt the Jiu with just a little punchy bass and maybe better technicalities. Would the EW200 be the best choice for around 40 bucks?
So if you had $100 what iems would you recommend? I like bass
stretch it to $127 and get truthear novas
They said that they like bass. The Nova is a pretty clinical/boring tuned IEM.
Truthear zero red
I know looks aren't everything but they look so boring and drab compared to the original
I think they look nicely understated. Not my favorite aesthetically, but certainly not drab.
Maybe they realized that owners are just polishing their Arias after the paint starts chipping away. So Moondrop just went for that "polished" look for the 2nd Aria model.
Thats what you get when that company starts to sell waifu weeb box instead a good sounding iem..
Did you actually read or can you not read?
?
It is good sounding, just that there are cheaper options
Vk4 v1 / cca cra :)
Didnโt you post a YouTube video before you received this product already shitting on it? This feels like some rage bait to me.
show me on the doll where the Ahr-eye-ah hurt you
Sorry for being an idiot but where is the review? ๐
Scroll down the page. The latest comments are above the actual review.
The worst value ones are probably the new CAs released this year.
This pair still costs less than $100. You can do much worse with your money.
I bought it. I've watched your video. I agree. It's good but it's not worth the price for an upgrade, or possibly a side grade. The cable is pretty good tho. I think it's similar to (not sound wise, but marketing) the concept of Blessing 3 and starfield 2. A sequel of something good would naturally draw more attention, it sells, it works. They're probably aiming for pure profit for this one, instead of making something innovative.
Agreed
I have a pretty fair amount of IEMs, and I have the pleasure of entering the "I really only need what's different " plain of reality.
I was looking at these or the new Truthear Nova (arrives today). I love the Hexa so I bumped it up a bit. I have the Aria Origional and I like that pair a lot also. Sounds like I saved a few bucks.
Thanks for the review. Maybe an "on sale" item down the road.
I currently use the T3+, would this be a good upgrade? I personally like iem with emphasis on vocal + good bass, like the slight V-shape of T3+ which makes it sound 'fun'. I want something with similar bass as T3+, stronger is ok but nothing too weak. Or is there any good recommendations at similar price of the aria?
The RAPTGO LEAF D01 is onsale right now for 50% off on linsoul at $65 including tax and shipping to the US. Akros reviewed it and in his comparision it was most similar to the moondrop kato which for the price, I haven't found anything better especially not any of the arias.
