Sound quality description
In this review, I use the standard eartips size L and drive it with the FiiO M15.
Moondrop Aria is a neutral-conscious, studio-tuned earphone. However, while the clarity and micro-detail are not bad for use as monitors, they lack a sense of structure, so the sound tends to sound soft and is more suited for listening purposes.
For monitoring purposes, the higher-end Starfield, which sounds brighter in the midrange, is probably better for most people, and the Tripowin Olina and Tin HiFi T3 Plus in the same price range win for midrange expression.
It is almost a perfect competitor with the T3 Plus, especially in price, audio specs, and sound balance, almost like a sibling, but I still rate the T3 Plus higher because it is closer to the royal road of studio tuning.
In my opinion, the order is Olina > T3 Plus > Starfield > Aria, and in fact, Olina is the most frequently used, but all of them are very good in terms of resolution and distortion rate, transcending their price, and all of them have a neutral sound balance. To be frank, I don't think it makes much difference which one you choose.

Sound quality general comment
- Original Sound Fidelity: A+
- Recommendation: A+
- Personal preference: A+
Aria is one of the best earphones in its price range, with an almost perfect texture and a stretched sound that outperforms its competitors. Currently, it is one of the models that epitomizes the near perfection of earphones at around $100, and it would be difficult to find a better sound for more money.
