A local business I purchased the Arias at accidentally sent me two pairs. I like these earphones so much I wish I could keep both.
Unfortunately I only have two ears and one set is enough to satisfy 
Had to send them back so someone out there can enjoy these gems too!
Glad to hear that,Iāve ordered them yesterday since many reviews (youtube/forum/reddit) say it is very good. Howās the stock eartips tho? Iāve also ordered spinfit c100+ just in case.
nice man, Iām sure you wonāt be disappointed. The stock eartips surprisingly are okay, I have weird shaped ears and they still worked fine. With the stocks tips the seal is just above average. Some Spitfits would definitely make the seal better!
You could have gotten a backup pair of Arias just in case your 1st set has some issues like paint chipping or the 2pin connectors being loosed. But hey, if your single set does not have any issues so far, then thereās nothing to worry about I guess.
yeah so true, but the store owner seems like a nice guy. Wouldnāt want to tarnish my relationship with them and make future purchases awkward? 
thatās if he found out I guess.
But mines perfect and I have a fair amount of other earphones in my rotation so hopefully that helps with the longevity. 
Some folks on FB and other sites having some QC issues with Aria.
Cracked open while he was sleeping.
oof
thatās concerning 
Is someone here into equalizing?
I tried to do some equalizing myself in the past without much success and did some equalizing based on oratory settings with mild success.
However I had some ideas I tried out today and came up with this, which completely changes how my Aria sounds and imho much much better. I am astonished how much equalizers can do. They seem like black magic to me at this point.
Can someone please try these settings and tell me wether my ears are broken or if this actually doubles the value of the aria?

Thatās actually kind of you, to be honest I would do the same if the seller that I have been transacting with since day 1 and have a good reputation for most of the time.
It still sucks that my pair has that same defect as my Starfields.
Nothing but a good old superglue can fix that, it still sucks that kind of problem happens to some people. Would rather have that problem instead tbh, if the painting job is better.
Add some solder into the mixā¦ the left pin on the connector is barely workingā¦
Mine have loose cable connectors, which doesnāt do much to inspire confidence on the QC or design.
The sound on the Aria is great, and they are fantastic for detail retrieval.
For me they are right at the edge of brightness for an all day set.
The stock cable is bad enough that I replaced it during the first week.
Under $100 right now, Aria and Mele are my favorites.
what cable are you using right now for the Aria?
I bought the Linsoul Tripowin Zonie 16 Core for $20 on Amazon.
I like it, but I typically use the 21 core Jelly cable on the Mele too, so maybe I am just used to them.
I am using a NICEHCK 16 Core Black Cable, surprisingly soft and it matches well with my Ariaās black color though ruined now since there parts from the Aria chipping off. Might give this one a resprat treatment as well if it gets worse.
I use a cable with an integrated mic, for work.
I broke said cable, so I am currently using the mele cable while waiting for my xinhs cable to arrive.
The stock Mele cable is nice, and has good hardware on it.
Many of the other IEMs in that price range should look at that cable closely.
It is nice, but the twisting of mine is a bit loose and misaligned at the beginning, near the jack.
I finally got a chance to try out a the Moondrop Aria that many people have said the best under $100. Honestly it was very bassy and fun tuning.
If you think that is bassy, stay away from the Mele.
The Aria is the set I use when I want better detail retrieval, but I always switch to something else after a while, because I find the bass and sub bass lacking.
