Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
Moondrop LAN has a neutral-conscious, studio-tuning-like sound signature.
Please see here for detailed reviews on sound quality.
Lows / Bass
The Moondrop LAN's low frequencies are fairly linear and deep.
Bass drums sound thick and massive, and tightness is not bad. Rumbles are also heard relatively well.
The electric bass is also expansive, not too tight, and has a moderate and pleasant blackness.
However, volume-wise, the amount is a bit lacking for me, although it is well balanced with the midrange. Still, it is generally excellent and will satisfy most people.
Mids
Moondrop LAN's midrange is almost perfectly neutral and up front.
Transparency is quite good, background and instrumental sounds are well separated, and it is solid enough and well constructed, so three-dimensionality is not bad.
However, it lacks a bit of energy in the high frequencies, so detail is a bit lacking.
The midrange image is a bit too large, though it is excellent enough for studio monitors. Nevertheless, the midrange is excellent as a stand-alone, and the problem is mostly in the highs.
Highs / Treble
In general, the biggest drawback of Moondrop's VDSF target is in the high frequency range. However, it seems clear from this LAN that Moondrop itself considers the VDSF target ideal and adheres to a rather conservative tuning style. Therefore, unless Moondrop accepts the recent Knowles report and others and changes its mind about target curves, we probably cannot expect a resolution of this issue anytime soon.
At least judging by my evaluation method, which is based on auditory psychology and acoustic engineering, it appears that the current VDSF target is incomplete and need to be revisited in the high frequency range. My evaluation is based on an approach that differs from Knowles' evaluation, which reinforces the fact that Knowles' point is probably correct.
The Moondrop LAN's high frequencies generally fail to provide the luminance and subtlety expected of studio monitors. KATO and CHU offer better overall detail in this regard and will probably attract more users. In terms of high-frequency smoothness, the CHU has a smoother construction and, except for extension, there is little better to be found in the LAN's highs than the CHU.
Either way, the high end of LAN is a bit of a disappointment; I thought Moondrop was making good progress at the time of KATO and CHU, but after trying to innovate quite a bit with Stellaris and seeing the confusion that ensued, they have reverted to a more conservative stance with LAN in one fell swoop, and after various attempts over the past year or so, it seems they have chosen to confine themselves to their own traditional style. I think this is a bit disappointing.
Moondrop LAN is IEMs capable of delivering sound with high original sound fidelity based on speaker localization.
Its sound balance tends to be the most conservative of the brands. Basically, it is better to buy CHU than LAN, as CHU offer higher resolution and better detail.

General comment
The Moondrop LAN has a studio monitor-like sound that reproduces speaker localization almost perfectly, with excellent transparency and original fidelity, and a very clear, low distortion sound. The package and build quality are also very high, making it quite desirable to own, despite its low price. However, the presence of the LAN will be diluted by its better sibling, the CHU, which can be purchased for less money.

Beautiful Packaging and Appearance
Moondrop Aria Elven Maiden delights fans right from the packaging.
The special packaging, decorated in bright mint green, Hatsune Miku's image color, with beautiful illustrations and luxurious gold lettering, is so well done that it should be on display.
The exterior of the main unit is also bright mint green, with the letter 01 representing Hatsune Miku and the lyre on the face plate.
Incidentally, my unit did not have a good cable, so I re-cabled it to Moondrop Line K and am using it.
Aria, a bass model with an established reputation for sound quality
Moondrop Aria, the base model of Aria Elven Maiden, has a reputation for sound quality among audiophiles.
The sound balance is tuned to conform to the HRTF (Head Response Function) and Room Response Function frequency curves, optimized for modern recordings.

That’s why Venus adopts a diaphragm with a diameter of 100mm and a thickness of only 2 microns, and its printed circuit on the diaphragm is made of 1um pure silver. And the pure silver etched circuit results in lower heat loss.
Venus features an array of 18 N52 magnets with high remanence on one side. Through FEA finite element analysis optimization design, the magnetic field parallel to the diaphragm is evenly distributed. This headphone can further reduce the split vibration and vibration nonlinearity of the diaphragm. After the diaphragm has been molded, the stress on it is released and then equalized a second time. As a result of this additional process, the nonlinear distortion of the diaphragm under loud pressure is reduced by at least 95%.
Integrated Driver-Cavity Structure
To withstand very large tension loads because of the large number of N52 magnets used to form arrays, the Moondrop Venus utilizes an aluminum alloy CNC cavity that accommodates a larger diaphragm in a limited volume. And its overall weight is lowered as much as possible while ensuring the rigidity of the structure that supports the magnetic circuit grid of 36 large neodymium magnets.
High Frequency Waveguide Phase Equalization Technology
Venus features a unique combined high-frequency waveguide structure, which minimizes the phase interference of the grid magnets in the transmission of high-frequency sound waves, while avoiding the negative impact of the volume and efficiency of the magnetic circuit.
With the characteristics of an interchangeable cable design with 3.5mm headphone connectors for the right/left channels. Users can easily replace the cable to meet different requirements. Besides, Venus characterizes a self-adjusting leather headband, thus ensuring the most comfortable wearing experience possible.
