#114 Moondrop Aria Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Moondrop Aria 2, ranked lower, rated 4.1/5, released 2023. See every Moondrop Aria generation.
Pros: A budget favorite that scores 79 with a 1.61 dB spread: warm bass about 2 dB above target, accurate mids and a little extra upper air. The LCP dynamic driver extends to 20 Hz.
Cons: Discontinued and replaced by the Moondrop Aria 2. Presence dips about 2 dB with a 4 dB low point near 6.3 kHz, so it sounds slightly relaxed rather than detailed.
