Just throw in a filler like eartips or a cable to get the order total to $100.

$50 for this IEM is a good deal.

about the nozzle change. is it full filter + nozzle, or you remove the nozzle so you can change the filter?

Has anyone tried both these and the Tinhifi C2? I’ve seen those compared favourably to the original Aria (often called a slight upgrade) so I’m wondering if the Aria 2 are an upgrade to the C2

I wanna get these but I’m gonna wait. I like the OG Arias but the paint started peeling after a month of use. I wanna see if these have the same issue.

The old pieces hurt tf out of my ears.

would you recommend it as a first iem?

What's the ipod looking thing you have there that you plug your IEMs into?

Planning to buy this instead of the KATO. Thanks for the feedback.

They are indeed good, better than the first Arias. Tuned like the SE version, with more resolving highs.

So much so that they are very near to Kato, which costs nearly twice as much.

Good at being mid af

Mine arrived today. They are decent for the price.

Build quality is really good, the shells are small and fell solid and well made. The included cable is nice with a modular connector which includes 3.5mm SE and 4.4mm Balanced.

If you have more expensive sets, it’s not going to blow you away, but for the price, the set is pretty good.

It’s a warm safe tuning, that will appeal to most people and won’t sound bad with any type of music tbh.

I’d definitely recommend the Aria 2 if you’re looking for an iem in this price range, but not really sure what tuning you’re after and concerned you might purchase a set that may not be to you liking.

Haven't heard it myself but I believe its an excellent tuning, same as all the rest of MoonDrop's single DDs. And therein lies the problem; if you already own something with this tuning, then there is no reason for you to sidegrade to the Aria2. Also I find that $90 is a bit high for most newcomers to the hobby, so even though its the newest generation of MDs single DDs I don't know that I'll personally be recommending it to anyone.

No shade to Aria2 though, I expect it to sell just as well as the rest of the MD lineup. I remember a lot of shade being thrown at Aria SE on launch as well, even tho current opinion seems to have shifted in favor of it and I've seen enough customer photos to convince me that people are buying it despite the similarly lukewarm reviewer takes.

I have a hunch mediocre reviews are pouring out because Moondrop keeps reusing their target over and over again with zero originality to speak of..

What was a big deal maybe 4 years ago is now just another IEM in the saturated market.

Just my 2 cents.

Let's hope they anodized the body this time, or the "great" build quality won't last long.

And what about the Se300? Do you have any comparison points?

Honestly they look great, and they're tuned really similar to the Aria SE which I have and really love, I don't get the hate either tbh, it's a solid upgrade on a familiar tuning that works

Is this suitable for musics like soundtracks eg. hans zimmer ?

I think this is the greatest single DD Moondrop ever made IMO
