Moondrop Aria Snow Edition Wired Earbud High Performance Diamond-Like Diaphragm ARIA SE Dynamic Driver 0.78 Pin in-Ear Earphone

These earbuds are by far one of the best deals on Amazon for wired earbuds. They sound great for their convenience and price, with the only lacking part being the depth/soundstage, which is mostly an issue with earbuds and not this specific model. They have great sounding bass, treble that is strong not too harsh and moderate detail. My favorite part is that these got forgotten in a pocket and went through the wash, and I can safely say they came out fine and maybe even better now that they are clean LOL. They also feel like jewelry compared to most budget earbuds, and will definitely last a long time as a result.

I was looking for an IEM mainly for video games on PC. I was using over-the-ear Skullcandy SLYRs from like 2012. While comfortable and functionable, I wanted to try something different. I've never used IEMs, I have high frequency hearing loss, and I'm not an audiophile, but I like these IEMs.In Apex Legends, I could hear footsteps so much clearer than before. It was making me so anxious how clear the footsteps were that I kept checking my surroundings. In some YouTube reviews, people say that the audio sounds "crisper" or "cleaner", and I can see how they describe audio like that. When I listen to music, it isn't as "warm" as it used to be. It's not a terrible sound, but there's definitely a "crisp" quality to the music.I do wish the cord was a little bit longer. The earbud connector/adjustor thing is not adjustable which doesn't bother me too much, but it was a feature I appreciated on my other cheap earbuds. As far as the transition from headphones to IEMs, the one thing I miss the most is being able to just throw the headphones on. With IEMs, you have to put each bud in separately which isn't a terrible hassle, but it is something to consider.Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and the move from headphones to IEMs, and I would recommend this IEM. I am curious what the other Arias are like, though.

Had this for about 1 year and 8 months. Sound is excellent and clean, plus it looks beautiful. The paint chips after about a year but the front was still ok.At 1 year 8 months of daily use (however, i never unplugged the earbud socket) the 2 prongs that plug into the actual earbuds snapped off so one of them is unuseable.

The Moondrop Arias fit well into my ear and are comfortable to wear. They cancel out a lot of noise around me because they fit well, not because of active noise suppression. When I work, play games, or listen to music I feel like I am hearing all I need to hear and they are cheaper than much of their competition. Highly recommend.

The MoonDrop Aria Snow Edition sounds like an upgraded SSR. The midrange sounds clear, detailed, and prominent. The treble is detailed, and it is not sibilant. The bass is tamer, and the low-end is not as deep as the original MoonDrop Aria, but the mid-bass is still more refined than the original Aria. The sound stage is good, just not wide like full-size headphones. The imaging is good. If you like the SSR, you will enjoy the MoonDrop Aria Snow Edition.My list of IEMs, Headphones, and Dacs.IEMs:Moondrop KatosMoondrop Aria (original)Moondrop Aria (Snow edition)Moondrop SSPMoondrop SSRMoodrop QuarksCampfire Audio MammothCampfire Audio HoneydewCampfire Audio Onyx – Multiverse day 5Headphones:Focal ClearSennheiser 6XXSennheiser 560sSony CD900stBeyerdynamic DT 880 250 ohmBeyerdynamic DT 770 250 ohmGrados SR325xKross Kph40s.Dacs:iFi Audio Hip-Dac2Dragonfly CobaltDragonfly RedQuestyle M15EarMen EagleApple dongle USB C

These are a great IEM for the price you pay. I used these for both Gaming, listening to music, and video editing and never really had a complaint on the sound/clarity from these IEM's.That said, I was a little disappointed in the build quality, especially after about 8 months. The paint started chipping off where it rubbed up against my ears and the mesh on the inside of the earbuds are quite brittle.They do get a little uncomfortable if you're wearing for longer hours (5+ or so), but if you're looking for a solid pair of headphones for a good price these may be your ticket.

I love the sound and quality it provides. It takes a bit of adjusting to get use to the design around the ear, but it fit snuggly and I don't notice it after some period of time.Only slight problem I had was connecting the cord to the earpiece, it was quite scary as I was making sure I didn't damage it as I push the pieces in.Overall love case in comes to protect the earphones.

Only problem with these is the weight and over time the paint melts and can flake off. Otherwise they're great, just take them frequently because they can cause bruises over long time use.
