Extra tip: Change the tips! XD (if you desire minor changes to the sound signature) Another tip due to my loose filter: Play around with the filters and swap it with others (that will fit). KXXS/Starfield filters sound quite close
@@DieTabbi Filters as in the little thing(s) that cover the sound tube of your earphones/headphones. They protect the earphones by preventing outside clutter from entering. If you happen to feel like sound is not as top quality as you first got it, then it's most likely due to the filter being clogged by sweat and debris. Usually you can replace the filter instead of falling into the trap of buying a new set of buds. *Note:* Always check/clean your earphones/headphones/headsets/buds daily. Hygiene for both your ears and product would help with your experience/maintain a longer longevity of usage.
Yeah, this is probably the best review I've come across for me. Other reviews constantly use audiophile terminology I'm not familiar with and can't understand half of what they say. But this made sense. There's also the matter of I'm not really using them only for music, but for.. everything, gaming, music, movies, videos, etc. So, this review helped, thanks.
I needed a good pair of IEMs for gaming and you sir, just gained a subscriber. This was an amazing review especially since most reviews for IEMs ive seen dont really mention if they work for gaming.
I had my eye on these for a while, but I'd never had IEM's before and all I was really getting them for was watching youtube, a little bit of music, and my Switch so I got the Blon bl03 thingies instead. Figured it was a safer bet at half the price. I don't regret getting them, they sound amazing for 40 freedom bucks, but I think I'm definitely going to upgrade to the Aria's at some point in the future when I can justify the price.
For the price today, are there better options for gaming (shooters like valorant) and music? I was previously thinking of buying a hyperx cloud 3, although yes, they are not iems. I was also thinking of buying a DAC, the tiandirenhe cx to make improvements to the audio for a reduced price.
got them from apos and after 1 day the left sides audio is severely lower If anyone knows how to fix this pls help. I tried returning it but since I ordered it without a Gmail the conversations haven't gone anywhere for over a week.
Im new to the IEM world for gaming and just bought them to check them out. Arriving next week! Im very hyped and searching for gaming focused reviews for them to see what others say haha. Nice to see ur enjoying them!
@@marswaters4974 To make it short: unfortunately i dont use them anymore. On PC the soundstage was so little vs my Beyerdynamic 990 Pros open back so i used them on console gaming. But after a while i also switched to open back headphones on console aswell. Regarding the reviews i was expecting a bit more as far as soundstage and quality goes. Also the resolution was not that high for my liking. If you come from standard not that expensive headphones it would be a pretty decent choice i guess. For myself i stay with open back headphones :) But if you are interested give them a try! I think in my case its more of a personal taste of thing why i dont use them anymore.
I play an unhealthy amount of tarkov i got the aria as my first iem. The only complaint i have so far is i cant tell the difference between footsteps directly in front of me and directly behind me. Heard the Kato might be more what im looking for
How do you have 8k subs dude? Your production quality is near Dave2d and these reviews are helpful as shit. Just found your content, so I hope the algorithm may be beginning to bless you. Thanks for the reviews.
Damn these aren't available in my country and i really need some earbuds for gaming asap I got the g333 the other day and they are so so bad, its impossible to find good earbuds
Hey, i'm thinking of buying the Starfield or Aria but I need a mic, does anyone know what cable to buy with a build in mic that is working with any of these two IEMs?
Just ordered these, tired of the feel of my over ear headphones. Coming from the open back HD58X I was worried these would feel too claustrophobic but from your review it seems like the wider than average soundstage should help with that.
I read that you don't NEED a dac or amp unless you hear static like noises from the source. I would have this plugged into my motherboard primarily for gaming, do I need to get a dac or amp?
As someone who wears glasses, i get really tired of wearing my over the ear headphones while gaming but my in ear earbuds just sound terrible. I definitely want to get these and give them a shot
Aim fairly new to your channel and love the feel & commentating etc 🥰👍 I have found your feedback regarding the gaming aspect of IEMs invaluable when deciding on a couple of recent IEM purchases. Great work and keep up the great work 🎉🥳👍.
ive used these for competitive games and it sounds very flat, i suspect its because gaming headphones are bass boosted, so whats the point in adding bass to the original sound.
To an audio interface actually, so kinda like into DAC, but hardly since it’s just got an ok DAC built into it(I use a Motu M2). The point for me is mostly convenience so I can change headphones and iems easily as well as adjust volume easily, but I suppose the sound is also a bit cleaner. These days the audio inputs built into the pc motherboards and even the front IO are surprisingly decent, but I find audio interfaces, DACs and amps just more convenient because they’re close to you and because you can control the volume easier with a knob. For me personally with the use of an audio interface, I can also monitor my voice so I don’t accidentally start yelling when I can’t hear my own voice.
@@pabloskygg2360 As long as you don't go too nuts. The Motu M2 is overkill for most people and only makes sense if you use an XLR microphone. You might wanna look into Topping's DAC/Amp combos, or the Schiit Fulla or Hel DAC/Amp
@@Teknickel the thing i have in mind is getting the razer seiren mini and the arias so at the moment i dont think i will get a dac now, somewhere in the future maybe i get one, ty
How much of an upgrade is this over the kz zsn Pro? Thinking about getting these but the lack of mic is annoying. Not sure if the kz zsn Pro cable with the mic can just swap over to this pair LUL
A 2 pin cable with an inline mic, and depending on your setup, an audio splitter for mic and headphone input/output or a usb soundcard with a headphone/mic combo jack.
Pls, review HZSound Bell Rhyme!! They're 30 dollar earbuds, that don't get in your ears, and they're extremely good!! Plus they have that HUMPF and have great precise imaging and alive mids! And you will be surprised by the soundstage! Tbh I kinda love your reviews, they're not clinical and are wholesome and honest and don't leave me stressed out. And I trust more your opinion has you seem to have a similar taste and look at things has I, so if you're curious, as I am of what you think of them, pls try it out
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... the Tin T2, but I they REALLY want you to know there are people around, even when they not super close. I think the Blon BL03 hand distance a bit better, but the T2 makes you very aware.
Got my hands on the BLON BL03 after watching your review and planning to get this now. Do you by any chance know if the Aria Snow edition is any better compared to these? Since they have an updated driver but worst sub bass?
Hey there bro I'm gonna upgrade my IEM right now KZ ZS6; my choices are Tinhifi T2 Plus, Tanchjim Ola and Moondrop Aria. What would you recommend between those three? I'd appreciate it thank you!
Random (and late AS FUCK), BUT one big + to using an IEM rather than a OverEar headset is you dont develop a dent in your head over extended use (headsets that clamp your head too hard have this issue, its real) AND you get to keep the hair on top of your head because you dont have a piece of plastic rubbing against the scalp during the gaming sesh, which could last hours (or if youre like me, days). So basically, use an IEM if you want to keep your hair
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you for the vid! Do you plug these into a dac, if so which one? Looking to get into iems but not sure if I need a dac or not to get the most out of them.
Have you ever experienced issues with the iem drivers losing their sound? I've tried both the TIN T2s and Starfields and both died within 3 months. I am starting to question the quality of chifi iems. Great video!
I never had that happen, that's pretty odd, or just super unlucky. Everything got a risk doe. I wonder if there's something to do with environment maybe? Or just a bad luck of the draw
nope the blons bl-03 are muffled especially in fps games tends to disorient the player where the enemies are shooting. Better of buying the tfz no.3 as an alternative great details with an upgraded bass.

I am amazed how a "gamer" explained the sound of these IEMs much better than 95% of the audiophiles on UA-cam. You just gained a Subscriber.
a lot of audiophiles tend to overexplain, hence incredibly technical and hard to understand for laymen.
only audiophile understand , u as a gamer wont understand audiphiles
This is why I keep coming back to him
Bruh this channel is so underrated it's quite sad to see that this channel isn't getting enough recognition that it deserves
I mean it's a pretty niche topic.
@@tootlingturtle7254 yeah bro sadly tiktok shitposting is mainstream.
@@tootlingturtle7254 hopefully 2022 will make mainstream gamers go towards iem's

Been looking at these for a week now, loved the review, just ordered a set and a separate cable.
I know this video is older but i love your style of you tubing LOL and narration. Liked and subscribed..
you got me with your review just ordered moondrop Aria, Thank you and stay safe
On Rtings website these got 9.5 score in imaging, most headphones were below 9. That's insane

did you upgrade to aria? I bought blon bl03 and still have time to return it and get the aria. First IEM to me also
I literally got these a week or so ago and it came with a whole ass other cable that the connectors don't fit 💀
This is a solid video, I was honestly beyond surprised when I saw the sub count
Underrated channel, deserves more subs 👍
the explosion sound effect @ 0:49 brings back some good memories of a particular game
you are very precise in explaining how it sounds, thanks for the video!
Can anyone recommend a good sturdy cable? The ones on the aria are too flimsy for my liking and it doesn’t help that my ears are on the smaller side
hello teknickel what is the name of that cable that you brough do you remember? 5:39
man i ordered these and for some reason they don’t pop up on my sound settings
any recommendations for a replacement cable that does have a mic for these?
For the price today, are there better options for gaming (shooters like valorant) and music? I was previously thinking of buying a hyperx cloud 3, although yes, they are not iems. I was also thinking of buying a DAC, the tiandirenhe cx to make improvements to the audio for a reduced price.
got them from apos and after 1 day the left sides audio is severely lower If anyone knows how to fix this pls help. I tried returning it but since I ordered it without a Gmail the conversations haven't gone anywhere for over a week.
So I got these but the left side doesn’t work when plugged into my Ps5 dual sense , any suggestions??
what is the best iems for imaging ??
arount 100 dollars
Im new to the IEM world for gaming and just bought them to check them out. Arriving next week! Im very hyped and searching for gaming focused reviews for them to see what others say haha. Nice to see ur enjoying them!

Brand new Moondrop Arias unbalanced. the left side louder than the other, does anyone have the same problem??
Damn these aren't available in my country and i really need some earbuds for gaming asap
I got the g333 the other day and they are so so bad, its impossible to find good earbuds
Just bought them!! appreciate the review, great content man keep it up!!
I'm also planning to get one of these! How do they sound overall? Also good for gaming too?
@@shivanisingh-ir8cb these iems sound good for gaming. it's also good when you're using a parametric eq for music 👍
how do I change the sound settings? When I'm playing games I hear shooting, footsteps and all that all around me
do u have any recs for cables with a mic
Will you do a review on the aria snow edition
this earphone have a microphone?
Hey, i'm thinking of buying the Starfield or Aria but I need a mic, does anyone know what cable to buy with a build in mic that is working with any of these two IEMs?
Most 2 pins cables with a mic will fit. If you're really nuts, the Ethos MKIII Pro-Gaming Cable fits too.
Could you do a video for cables with mic so I know what to get with these iems
are they still your favourite ?
Just ordered these, tired of the feel of my over ear headphones. Coming from the open back HD58X I was worried these would feel too claustrophobic but from your review it seems like the wider than average soundstage should help with that.
How do they hold up so far and do you think they’re better than your headphones after a couple months of use?
what’s better i wonder for footsteps i’m deciding between these and the hidisz ms2
Great review! It's always great to see your videos!^^
I read that you don't NEED a dac or amp unless you hear static like noises from the source. I would have this plugged into my motherboard primarily for gaming, do I need to get a dac or amp?
How do you compare this with KZ ZSN Pro/X?
Good review, especially the gaming perspective. Subscribed.
I am using the blon-03 ,will upgrade to this next year .
7hz zero and qkz x hbb review inbound?
As someone who wears glasses, i get really tired of wearing my over the ear headphones while gaming but my in ear earbuds just sound terrible. I definitely want to get these and give them a shot
Do you happened to use amp and dac with these for gaming?
amazing review. would love these but they are above my budget so, maybe ill get blon minis. btw where can i get your wallpaper it looks rly cool.
Wallpaper is off NomadGoods, the make fancy phone accessories
Hi there, how would these compare to a nice pair of headphones like the dt1990 for fps gaming specifically?
Not considering price

They’re out of stock and maybe discontinued? Are aria 2 the same or even better?
Im actually looking at the aria 2 and i want to say they're better, but they're also different. SPOILER: the aria 2 is kinda like a kato
@@Teknickel whats a kato, im very new to iem's
@@Teknickel so I figured what the kato is, so for gaming is it still good or better?
@@FahimPlayz The Kato much better for gaming than the Aria 1, but only a tiny bit better than the Aria 2
Do you know what bluetooth adapter will work for the arias? I want to make these wireless but I don’t know if just any will work well with these
Fiio BTR3K, BTR5, BTR7
Is it possible to use these with a ps5?
do you use connected directly to the pc or do you guys use it with a dac? if so, which one

heres the ultimate question
which ones are the best for clearly hearing footsteps in fps games?
Blon 03, moondrop aria or tin 2?

It does very good, but I think the tin t2 does a better job highlighting the footsteps
Is that audio interface the motu M2?

I have tin t2 right now so it's worth upgrade to aria??
yeeee

My arias died after 2 weeks, right bud got so quiet…
Well then it's likely a defective set needs to be replaced with either a return policy or warranty.
Did you use an amp and dac?

good for fps?
As of this year, the Aria 2 is better for fps
thank you mane
4:42 as an avid gamer i find it weird you chose apex to test spatial audio, that game has to be the worst at that.
Oh I actually play multiple games to test, but I just like to record the ones I enjoy.
I've been using moondrop spaceship for over 1 year or so, definitely gonna upgrade to Aria. also your explanation is extremely easy to understand.
nope the blons bl-03 are muffled especially in fps games tends to disorient the player where the enemies are shooting. Better of buying the tfz no.3 as an alternative great details with an upgraded bass.
but no microphone for gaming is trash ?
I'm also planning to get one of these very soon!
How do they sound overall?
Also good for gaming too?
I'm inclined towards warm neutral sound signature more like balanced sound signature.
Is Aria a good balanced IEM overall?
You should make some tiktoks i bet that will help with your youtube growth!! Channel is great
Weeeeeee! I just bought these for my steam deck and then I came across this video.
Moondrop spaceship was still better on gaming better imaging and soundstage but the sound of this iem was good thou
you think the $21 moondrop spaceship are better for hearing footsteps?
