What’s the pricing on this? Their tweet indicated that it was releasing this month lol
Let’s hope paint stays forever.
Looks clean
Lmao, tryna ride off the aria branding now?
(I have aria se)
rip OG pre 2020 bullet aria you won’t be forgotten
I love it! The tuning is perfect for me! I was confused when I looked them up again later and the design was changed.
i had the crescents for a while, quite liked the design
The crescent?
what about them?
Moondrop are just spamming products for the FOMO crowd aren’t they?
I don’t think so, none of their stuff is sold in limited quantities where if you don’t buy it right now it’ll never he sold again. As far as I know most of their products stay in stock, not like sneakers, mtg cards or fortnite skins.
Moondrop beautiful world limited to 777
No need, they know no one will be buying them after people move onto something else to hype up anyway.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but they do have limited editions like the moondrop beautiful world or their collab dap with shanling and some others.
Also when they get around to making another version don’t they stop making the original? Thus encouraging you to buy the current version in case you might not like the new version and forever miss out on the original.
Isn’t that just how a general product cycle works… You have to remember that headphones and iems are a massive exception to product development as a whole.
Also the limited runs that they have done, as far as I am aware, have been purely aesthetic, the products themselves have always been available.
Blessing 2 dusk is not available anymore.
Blessing 2 dusk is not available anymore.
It’s been released almost 4 years ago though (2019 December) and from what’s going around, Blessing 3 Dusk is coming soon.
HD600 was released in 1997.
It was released December 2020, I ordered it on initial pre-order (2020-12-12).
This is still quite a long product cycle, 3 years is like centuries in Chi-Fi years.
Thank you, edited my comment!
Collabs shouldn’t count
honestly, they still take their time back in starfield/ssr/ssp days but after they got hyped up in the Aria, they just released whatever they can find in their basement
in their basement
Oh that reminds me of the limited cable fiasco they had. Their boss was clearing out the storage and found a bunch of old silver-plated cables he’s forgotten from waaay back. It was discolored but the end result was a super beautiful pink-blue. Since there wasn’t many, so he decided to do a limited sale on Taobao just to clear the stock (what’s left of them at least, after his employees went through them, lol). Condition was you buy Lan, there will be an option to add ¥25 or something to get the cable as an accessory. There was about some hundreds in number.
He forgot about scalpers.
So nobody really got the cables. They refunded the 25. I haven’t checked how much the scalpers are reselling them.
I’m really curious to see these, do you have any links?
Here’s when they found the cable.
Here’s when they realized that they messed up. I remember their boss had a weibo about this thing from his point of view, where he said he didn’t knew that scalpers would exist. Can’t find that now. Click on “Translate content” to see very roughly what they’re saying
Are Aria 1’s actually good? I’ve been looking at them for a week now and I kind of like them, but I am not sure about their longevity and wearing comfort
comfort is great, i use them while laying in sides. does not hurt for me.
They are really pretty fantastic, I think. They were the first IEM I tried that blew me away. I have the Blessing 3 now, but I almost liked the Aria tuning better. They had a bit more mid bass, while the Blessing 3 has more sub bass, but superior detail in the treble. Aria had a nice warm and sweet sound and I quite enjoyed it.
Sound wise they are great, the build quality is great, but the finish not so much. Your milage may vary, but the paint will eventually bubble and peel. For some it only lasted a few months, for me about a year. I seen someone onhere sand them down to bare metal and the looked good so not a bad idea, I might do it myself
no paint chipping? maybe time to replace my one and only iem and very old 3% paint left aria.
something i don’t see mentioned a lot but i wish they were more ergonomic. might just be me but i tried the first ones and they weren’t very ear-shaped especially for their weight.
they sounded REALLY good tho! i just would’ve liked them to be more comfortable to listen to longer.
Aria with stellaris treble and upper mids.
Ah yes, paint chipping 3.0
I recently got the Aria Snow edition as a replacement for my og SE215’s.
Been liking them so far, metal can be a bitch on the ears in winter however…Are these just gonna be another KATO spin off?
so, any bets on quality and longevity ?
My friend has a stellaris, which has similar design. The screw came undone and it just fell apart. Fixable though
hard to beat hexa ig
Does the hexa have good longetivity?
Id say yeah, removable cable and build wuality of the iem is good in my opinion. Its a metal shell with black frosted resin
Yes, it’s higher than 32ohms I picking up a pair because why not
