Hello guys, recently I kinda want to make the swap to main IEM’s instead of headphones for gaming and mainly music listening. Currently I own the Fidelio X2 and modded them with HM5 Pads. Do you think it would be a fair comparison/match in sound quality to swap over to something like the Moondrop Aria’s or do i need to go up in price range, what do you suggest? I don’t mind a swap in sound signatures as long as it’s not too lackluster in bass (i also own ath-m40x and enjoy them).
The Aria is really really bad for gaming.
Gaming would be a plus but it isn’t that much of a priority to be honest. I don’t care for immersion, since I can always use the fidelios if I’m looking for that.
I only play competitively games like apex, tarkov, valorant etc so as long as they have basic soundstage that i can kinda tell where their footsteps are coming from it’s fine.
The main reason I wanna make the swap tho is comfort and being surprised by how far IEM’s have come in sound quality when I bought the Chu’s, which sounded amazing aside from lacking a bit in soundstage and bass.
I was wondering what would be some good suggestions for some good musical experience on par or better than the fidelio around 100 eur. I honestly feel like I’m getting a bit tired of the dark sound signature of the fidelio, though I like the bass i feel it sacrifices clarity for it and i have tried all sorts of EQ
