Moondrop Aria SNOW EDITION Earbud High Performance Diamond-Like Diaphragm Dynamic Driver 0.78 Pin In-Ear Earphone

Product Information

The Hidizs MM2 has a slightly more colored overall sound signature with a tad warmer tonality in direct comparison to the Moondrop Aria Snow Edition, which shows a more balanced general presentation. 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 midbass region of the Aria Snow Edition has a pretty safe and fairly linear tuning with good grade of transparency, speed and control, especially for a single dynamic driver IEM at this price range. I didn’t hear any audible muddiness or mixings in even in some bass heavy songs, which is one of the highlights in this area. The sense of clarity and resolution is decent for a product below the 100 US mark. The sound nozzle has a slightly angled profile that features a metal mesh on the top to avoid the insertion of small particles like dust or earwax in to the monitors shell.

One of the reasons headphones and earphones in India are more expensive than overseas is because of the Goods & Services Tax in India. 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. Metal mold casting and CNC milling technology is in line with ergonomics, makes use of a brand-new surface coating that emphasizes its metal texture with a complex and aesthetically pleasing snowflake pattern that perfectly matches the visual theme of pure snow.Firstly, the Youth is notably brighter and more V shape, it’s balance is more wonky and unbalanced in treble part. Snow is notably more refined and balanced, sounding neutral to mid centric yet with higher resolution, especially in mid range. Treble is better controled and more linear, making Youth feel dark in some part and overly boosted in other, more spiky and shouty. Treble is a mess with the Youth, it feel more airy and snappy than Snow still, but in an unbalanced way while Snow deliver a smoother yet richer treble, less overly focus on higher harmonic making instrument like acoustic guitar tone more realist in timbral balance with fuller restitution of presence. Both these doesn’t offer biggest soundstage but the Youth feel wider and deeper due to extra treble air. Imaging is unrealistic with the Youth and become muddy in mid range faster than Snow, which have better transparency and more appropriate instrument placement and separation tough they can feel more compressed than the Youth. All products sold on Headphone Zone carry a GST compliant invoice and all products sold include an 18% GST. snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in All in all, while Moondrop IEMs begin to feel like more of the same again and again, they continue to improve their dynamic driver tech to deliver high sound benefit value.

Good amount of air hence the music doesn’t sound too “congested” and contributed to a soundstage presentation After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to Mids are clearer-cleaner and more present in definition with the Snow, but leaner in dynamic and bit thinner in vocal timbre, especially male vocal which are more bodied and upfront with the KAI, for female vocal, its a bit more shouty and fatiguing. With fast busy music the Snow keep its clarity and accuracy unlike Kai that can go messy and unbalanced, especially if their heavy bass line or hit.
