MOONDROP ARIA VS STARFIELD FULL

Moondrop says that the Aria will have punchy bass, recessed mids, and sparkling treble. But that’s also the case for every other headphone and IEM, regardless. You can use it as your own standard if you wish, but unless the recording artist is using the Harmon Curve to mix and master, your Harmon-tuned headphones and IEMs are not neutral.

In these tests, some people believe the Harmon Curve is the new neutral, but I would disagree. The ones which a study group preferred the most were examined, and the Harman Curve was essentially the compromise among the top-rated sonic tunings that the majority of people preferred. The Harmon Curve is the average of several tested tunings. If you’re not familiar with the Harmon Curve, here is a brief description. Moondrop says that the Aria is tuned to the Harmon Curve. The Aria also comes with a sturdy compact carrying case and several silicone eartips. The Starfield’s cable, by contrast, is covered in plastic and pales in comparison. This cable is soft and transmits lite microphonics. The Aria’s cable is covered in a pliable material. The Aria has some of the best accessories of any IEM I have seen for $150 and below. Nothing about the Aria’s build and design gives me any concerns. The Aria’s black and gold paint is a stark contrast to the Starfield’s more flamboyant, shiny blue with script. The Aria’s design allows it to sit securely within my ears. The Stafield, at least for me, has a loose fit. The Aria has a different shape, which results in a better fit in the ear canal. The overall design of the IEM is noticeably different from the Starfied however, the Aria is about the same weight as the Starfield. Just like its predecessor, the Starfield, the Aria is built of metal. The Aria has excellent build quality and accessories, especially for its price point. This is an $80 IEM and the newest offering from Moondrop.
