    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    The Fiio FD1 are more energetic and direct-sounding, and have the most perfect fit I've found yet, however they are noticeably less detailed and a little noisier than Moondrop Aria. But I had to find out that the Fiio shop excludes IEMs from returns, so my journey ended there. Next I think I...

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    Maybe I should have paid this more attention, but there is an awful troll review of them on Youtube, which made me ignore them.

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    I have the older "normal" (Non-Snow) Aria. I suppose I just have to keep ordering and see out what I like or can expect. Since I was dithering between a Tin T3 Pro and a KZ ZS10 Pro or ZSX, and some redditors said the KZ ZS10 Pro is preferable, but the Fiio FD1 is still better, I ordered the...

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    Again, I get a good fit as possible and it doesn't matter to vary it, and most importantly, these are probably the thinnest IEMs I've tried yet. They just are. And I mean in general, it doesn't really change the overall quality to force the most full-sounding music or whatever. Suddenly...

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    I wonder why nobody notices or cares how small and weak the Moondrop Aria sound. Above there was still mention of thin note weight. Isn't there a neutral option which sounds more direct and full? I might also prefer an option which one puts directly in the ear as opposed to first over the ear...

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    I've tried larger tips, but the smaller ones overall fit better. There is a slight audio difference between them, but nothing too great. Rtings also seem to have a category for that (difference in sound from seal), where the Aria are excellent. The main issue for me is that they sound small and...

    I know it's not a perfect seal, but it's hard to achieve, nearly impossible to maintain. And honestly, it makes little difference. I don't perceive it as warm in any noteworthy way, because it's overall a thin sound. It's a matter of pure analysis to call it warm. It's still more neutral than...

    I have the Moondrop Aria for now. They don't seal well and are a bit of a fuss to put on. The sound is fairly thin, but relatively detailed, textured and fast. They were tinny and lisping at first, but that seems to have receded with usage. Some highs or high mids like keyboard keys can sound...

    I didn't put attention on the T3 Plus, since they seemed a standard amazon choice and I equated them with the T3 on RTings.com, which is apparently incorrect (simply that equation, not the site). However it seems to come up in comparison to the Dunu and some also say it's more neutral than the...

    I find wired more convenient or simpler for my purposes. Anyway. Does the Aria's slight bass boost ever bleed into voices? I currently have the Sony MDR-XB55AP, and it does that quite a bit, aside from having noticeably recessed and slightly grainy mids.

    Yes, reading of the lack of bass of the Moondrop Aria Snow has been bothering me, however it depends on how conscious it will be. Unfortunately the DUNU Titan S costs a bit more for me, I'm wondering if I go that high. Speaking of higher, how much better is the Moondrop Starfield compared to the...

    Which IEM should I get: Moondrop Aria Snow vs. Final E3000 vs. FiiO JH3/FD1

    Hello, I'm interested in these 3 IEMs, Moondrop Aria Snow, Final E3000 and FiiO JH3 or FD1, as they come with various recomendations and are in the same price range where I am. Or they are actually 4 with the Fiios and I don't know which Fiio would be better either. I like neutral or...

    Can cigarette smoke and cleaner vapors affect sensitive Headphone membranes?

    I once bought a used Sennheiser HD600, the whole box of which had a very strong cigarette smoke smell after opening, even the pads on the headphone itself smelled clearly of smoke at first, but this went away after a while. I always wondered since the beginning if this could have affected the...

    WORST headphone you ever heard?

    I think all headphones below a certain price point, including the Sennheiser HD600 (although it stretches its valid pricepoint far too much), the Beyerdynamic DT880, the cheaper Sennheisers, AKG K701 and 712 are fairly bad, each in their own ways and in general, after hearing the Hifiman...

    Help me decide on my first pair of proper headphones!

    I know AKG has some new low-price models. I actually tried one, the half open K245, hoping for something good. However I think their K550-series (and maybe the K612) might be the last one that's genuinely good, aside from expensive ones. The K245 sounded cheap to me, not very refined and...
