Excellent review! Your simple, basic explanations are the best on RU-vid as they connect with everyone, no matter the level of audio experience they have. Best audio reviewer on RU-vid!
I´m pretty much away from the hobby for almost a year, but I keep subscribed to hear what you got to say about the newer stuff Dave, those analogies and explanations just works well. That is pretty much audio friend talk. Keep up the good work!
I was never a big fan of the OG Aria but I am forever grateful they got me into the hobby seriously as opposed to just buy whatever and for the amazing spring tips. I hope those cable terminations screw in idea becomes a staple
Ive tried the aria 2s during a gathering with other audiophiles. One thing is for sure when I compared to my Katos. They sound similar on how they tuned but the driver quality was far more better on the Kato. My friend also said its a "Low-Res Kato" and Im a 100% agree!
Man, i just found out ur channel and i have to say ur a hidden gem in audio reviewing . Ur videos help me a lot in choosing the right stuff for me. Hope u will get attention that u deserve
@@TheHonestAudiophile do you think the aria 2 replace the moondrop kato ? Im thinking about getting moondrop kato , or should i get the aria 2 instead? Thank you
@@TheHonestAudiophile wow , thanks for the response , i guess im gonna get the kato . its on sale for 120$ right now in my country . I keep seeing people said aria 2 is 95% of the kato and it made me confuse haha
Hi Dave, the gold with 3 holes in the face plate is actually a screw with 3 shallow holes, I know because on my starfield 2, it unsrewed itself over time, I got listen to it opened back. I hope moondroo put a thread lock on the newer aria2 so the screw wont get lost, luckily I was able to find the screw on my starfield 2 when it fell off while I was at work outdoors.
If you have a good amplifier the P1 Max, it is a bit power hungry. The DUNU Titan S is easier to drive. Keep in mind the Tin Hifi T2 mkii review will be coming soon.
Hello good morning. I have a question that I'm sure you can solve very quickly. I am hesitating between Variations and Blessing 3. There are opinions in favor of Blessing 3, others in favor of Variations. Could you know what the sonic differences are?
Here's a link to my Variations review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p5GbAkdr498.html Here's a link to my Blessing 3 review: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jSqnWrR6Hnw.html
Which one should i get? Truthear zero :Red Moondrop Aria 2 Truthear Hexa My preferences are Details Resolution Separation Betweens instruments Controlled base so that Don't bleed Overall More musical and fun Sounding I listen to verity of genres including rock, classical, melodies, folks. Also it would be grateful if you suggest a DAC dongle to peer with.
Got OG Aria bought 3 years ago, no longer has paint. But your description on mids is spot on. It's like is on key but not exciting. I like Aria on EDM where vocal is less important. I can sleep with this because how relaxing it is. I wonder what $300-500 IEM that has this same kind of tuning 🤔
Dauntless is more stage monitor leaning than the Aria 2 which is more fun leaning. The Aria 2 has way more bass presence, more forward mids, less treble extension, less details, less resolution and similar tone and timbre though being warmer.
Iam a taylor swift listener.songs like blank space ,wildest dreams,lover,cruel summer i like this kind of songs which iem will you suggest.Aria 2 or hexa?
I've not heard any news on the Blessing 3 Dusk. Thanks for the suggestion of the Questyke NUB 15. Glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for watching and commenting.
I prefer a neutral, natural sound signature BUT I review products based on how they perform not my preference.

I had this IEM and for me only thing what can i say is that they sound like tin cans.... the treble is painful. After 30 min of listening I had ringing in my ears... and to be honest this is the worst IEM that i heard in my life... Very aggressive and sharp... I wish that you would do more truthful reviews. I had many expensive headphones (audeze) and iems (shure) and aria 2 is painfully shit. And no, EQ doesn't help because there are some weird distortions when you try it...
Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with the Aria 2. Thanks for your impressions. My impressions are my honest opinion. We all hear differently. Thanks for watching, , commenting and subscribing.
eh, i tried this aria 2 like 2 days ago, its opposite of wat u discribe here, may be u got the bad one. I listened about 90mins, 75% volume on my fiio k3s no EQ, very pleasant, my ears only fatigued a little bit.
