On the top of the monitor shell is the recessed 0.78mm diameter 2-Pin female connector that offers a tight and secure fit to the male connectors. The build quality of the housing looks of high quality and fulfills my expectations from a product in this price category. In terms of soundstage and imaging,OH2 has a more in your head kind of soundstage whereas Aria Snow Edition is slightly out of your head,in terms of imaging capability,both are more or less on par To cap it off, the driver tuning is still consistent with Moondrop’s VDSF tuning curve. It is tuned to have a clean and crisp response throughout its frequency range. The Moondrop Aria Snow Edition has an impedance of 32ohm and shows a sensitivity of about 119dB@1kHz which makes it to an easy to drive IEM for sources like Smartphone’s, Tablets and smaller sized DAP’s with weak amplification capabilities.
The Aria SE has a bigger soundstage than the Heart Mirror, but in other areas of technicalities – clarity, imaging, instrument separation, micro-details, the Aria SE loses out. Bass quantity is more on the Aria SE, but it has less bass quality.
Should you buy the Moondrop Aria SE?
The Moondrop Aria Snow Edition has a fairy linear bass response from the subbass up to the midbass area. It offers a good grade of authority and speed in this region especially in for an In-Ear Monitor at this price tag. The subbass region is moderately pronounced and slightly less highlighted compared to the midbass region. The Aria Snow Edition offers a sufficient level of depth and intensity, while wont show enough rumble for bass heavy genres like EDM, Bassline, Dubstep, Trance, etc.
We can call the Snow, big CHU brother, certainly an upgrade both in technical and tonal aspect, and even a hint more punch to otherwise lean and dry bass.
What should you get instead of the Moondrop Aria?
listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear The metal shell was made with a metal injection molding and CNC carving process However, the main difference is the Moondrop’s new DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) diaphragm dual-cavity dynamic driver that replaced the 10mm diameter LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) diaphragm that was used inside the Aria 2021. With that say which one do you think that will fit my needs more? I’m guessing Dunu Titan S based on the comparisons you laid down in this review but it seems like Aria Snow is very close as well. The midrange of both In-Ear Monitors is close to neutral in terms of tonality. However, the Aria Snow Edition is superior to the MM2 in terms of transparency and airiness. The MM2 sounds a bit more emotional with male vocals, while the Aria Snow Edition is more successful when I do listen to female voices or to instruments such like a piano, flute or guitar. The E3000 are an L-shaped warm and very bassy set of IEMs. These have a more flabby and nebulous bass, with much more bass quantity and note weight than the Snow Edition. The E3000 are darker in the treble too, with way less air and extension.
It is still a first impression after a couple of songs without A/B-ing but at least it doesn’t disappoint on first listen like how I did with Chu.I read your review on Olina but I’m still having a hard time deciding on which one to get because it seems like Olina has great technical performance but it is also commented that it brings out female vocal more than the male vocal, which is something I wish to fix here from Ola. Vocals are quite nicely done, and mid-lovers will have a field day, especially with genres such as acoustic, classical, and jazz. Treble
The upper midrange and treble region of the Moondrop Aria Snow Edition offers a slightly better sense of extension and control, while both IEM are pretty equal when it comes to the resolution. The first comparison involves sibling rivalry, pitting the Snow Edition against their older sister, the Aria 2021. Graph of the Snow Edition versus Aria 2021 via IEC711 compliant coupler. For CHI-FI enthusiasts, the highly-acclaimed Moondrop Aria 2021 need no introduction. However, did you know that prior to the Snow Edition’s release, there were other “Moondrop Arias”?I found that Titan S is what fall in-between the two. Olina and Starsea seems to be an upgrade over OLA while adding more bass while retaining or even exceeding OLA’s technicalities, which kinda go against my initial point of finding an all-rounder that sits between OLA and Tanya. However it has some flaws: even on the bassiest switch, this is not a basshead set, the bass is just a tinge north of neutral. And it may have driver flex (or pressure build up sensation in the ears) for some users.
Great Deal
