Will this work? It's not perfect but imo close enough..

Can someone that owns the Aria test out 2 EQ profiles that I've made? I need to hear opinions on it.

Does Aria have a better vocal representation than Blessing 2 and Dusk with Aria being as a reference?

Do these tips change the sound in any way? I might buy it for my Aria if it brings the vocals slightly more forward without bringing out any more treble.

I just read. It's interesting that you said "Bass is better controlled and dynamic in the Starfield" when most of the reviews said that bass is better on the Aria (more controlled and faster, doesn't sound as slow/mushy). "Starfield takes a leap in the soundstage which is wider" while most of...

Would you say Starfield sounds similar to Aria? Cause many claimed it to be the same/basically indistinguishable.

Some have reported with many hours and hours of burn in, the treble smoothens and becomes less grainy iirc.

So meaning it isn't gonna pick up stuff that is badly mixed in the track?

Wdym by "it plays low quality source better than Aria" ?

Oh glad to hear that :relieved:

I'm looking forward to expand my genres as well once I get an IEM :smile:

I already have the apple dongle in my house so that's there already when needed :thumbsup: I just gotta wait for more comparisons between Aria and Mele and see which fits best to my library. And coincidentally according to a seller on shopee (an online shop) in my country, they already have few...

Sadly can't afford those anytime soon.. probably 10-15 years later from now. By then, there should be a ton more options to choose from, and hopefully more competitions as it benefits us consumers well :laughing:

That is true though, I haven't got a proper IEM before so I'm worried about all kinds of things. I can only afford the budget realm of IEMs for now (under $100) and there's so much great stuff under this price bracket so I'm kinda lost. But yeah I should probably just get Mele, stop worrying...

I do use Tidal (but can't take the full potential of the decoding as I don't have a dac that does it) and it's great. Can find all the songs I need :thumbsup:

You ain't tripping :sweat_smile:

Well mainly recording nowadays, pop/kpop. Sometimes when I wanna just relax, some classical/acoustic. And I might explore other genres as well but unfortunately not genres like metal/hard rock in general as I'm not a big fan.

Thing I'm concern is that BGGAR tuned this set for his library, and my library doesn't fit his that well so I'm worried it won't fit mine as well as what others are saying :thinking:

Anyone has the Apple 3.5mm Earpod to compare with the Mele? I heard vocals do sound kinda back there on the Mele so it doesn't necessary fit pop genre. However on my apple earpod, it sounds fine (in terms of the vocal position). Things that are not great in the apple earpod is that it sounds...

I see I see.. Thanks for the input :relaxed::thumbsup:

What genres do you listen to?

From another forum*

Alright! Sure I will definitely buy a dongle if I do buy the Mele :) (the analogy with underwear though :joy:)

@darkgod5 Hey sorry for bothering you again, can you explain how the technicalities of Mele fare against IEMs under $100? The staging, imaging, separation, extension, depth all that stuff :)
