MOONDROP Releases Aria Snow Edition In-Ear Monitors
The MOONDROP Aria has been a highly successful set of IEMs from the brand. It also got some special limited edition variants too. Today, MOONDROP Aria gets a new variant, presenting you the Moondrop Aria Snow Edition. As the name suggests, Aria gets a complete design overhaul with a brand new CNC milled metal gold casing that now has a visually appealing Snowflake theme design. The biggest change with the MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition is an update on its driver, the OG Aria utilized a 10 mm dynamic driver with LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) diaphragm, MOONDROP has replaced that LCP diaphragm with high-quality DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) composite diaphragm as found in their famous Kanas Pro IEMs. With this new diaphragm, the Aria Snow Edition uses the same dual-cavity body structure as the OG Aria. This new DLC diaphragm enables the Aria to deliver high-quality details with a pure, clear, natural timbre. MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition is launched officially for the same price as the OG model, $79.99.
Apart from the sound tuning, MOONDROP has a good name in the industry for impressive craftsmanship. It is evident with the latest Aria Snow Edition too. The pair features CNC machined metallic ear cavities with an impressive snow-flake design. The pair looks simply appealing, pretty sure you are gonna love wearing them around your friends. MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition comes with a bunch of high-quality accessories including the MOONDROP Spring Tips and a high-purity cable. The pair adopts a high-purity 6N OFC (Oxygen-Free Copper) Silver-Plated cable with standard 2-pin 0.78 mm connectors and 3.5 mm termination. There is no price update with the MOONDROP Aria Snow Edition, the pair is available to purchase at the same price as the OG Aria, @79.99. Feel free to check out more details here.

The Blessing is the steal of what they have (probably why you heard of it) and sort of steals the thunder from everything above it. Not that the variations, A8, or S8 are bad, far from it they also clobber things above their price point. But it's just not as ruthless of a beating as the Blessing 2 is. I tried the Dusk version and crinacle knows his shit but, I prefer the stock tuning.
I sprung for the MasDrop KXXX and it was... interesting. Carbon nanotube diaphrams all that jazz and kicks in at under 200 but meh? It's good for a DD but there is some serious competition at that range and didn't stand out. Some of what they make is lightning in a bottle and they should (and do!) get credit for that. Other stuff is muddy. I hear from multiple people the A8 is better than the more recent S8 and even the variations is more of a "go for broke" idea.
Who knows!
I'll grab the variations soon enough, glad to hear I'm not misplaced. I've heard great things about them and it will give me a chance to slim down the IEM list. The SO loves the blessing 2's and she often takes them to work. And as much as I like the shures the plastic always cracks, and as for etymotic.... eh hurts after a bit.
The tips from the Chu is on my M9 now, and the M9 is still more detailed than the Variations but not by much. Moondrop is getting close to being the best value for money so far, without might of the comfort issues I have on going with the M9.
