The 2 pin plug on my right aria is loose. Will it affect the sound? And is it common?

Itâs common after a long heavy usage, no need to worry about.
The Arias for me are just the right fit, no issues of it falling from ears while listening to long sessions of music and sleeping sideways.
It can be a bit of a bummer when you have IEMs that short nozzles, meaning it cannot fit everyone like a glove immediately for our ear holes varies in sizes.
Mine became loose after 2 weeks
Found the exact same thing. Makes them a no-go for me. Even when I hold them both in to get a good seal, they didnât live up to the hype for me
Would it be safe to say that if I didnât like the sound signature of these, that I probably wouldnât love the AKG K361s either?
Havenât heard the k361 yet, but what do you think is wrong with these?
In that case you should swap the cable, Moondropâs known for bad cables.
It depends on what you call âlooseâ.
Do you have the feeling that the cable can go off too easily? Or do you notice some wiggle with the part that receives the cable pins?
I have a wiggly cable receiver, and noticed after 2 days of use. I use a cable that fill pretty much the whole receiver, so it doesnât wiggle that much now. I didnât notice any channel imbalance though.
Are you saying because of the Harman tune? If what you didnât like about the Aria was âtoo much bassâ or âtoo much sparkleâ itâs possible. But TBH I would not compare IEM and Headphones based on FR curve alone. Both reproduce space, imaging and other technicalities very different, at least IMO.
I found it had neither of those problems. It just didnât wow me like everyone said it would. I prefer the fit and sound of my TFZ Live 3 IEMs to be honest. Better detail and imaging, and I prefer the sound signature. Iâm not saying theyâre garbage or anything, maybe just not for me, tried swapping out the tips from the TFZs to the Aria to see if it would help- they still didnât seal well. Sitting at my desk and holding them in to achieve a good seal they still didnât do much for me. I agree about the comparison of IEM to headphone- I just know people throw the term Harmon Curve around for both.

Donât particularly know about the TFZ so no comments on that. Moondrop usually uses the Harman Reference, and they mention this on their materials. Theyâre also very focused on tunning the FR of theyâre IEMs so I would trust them on this part. But yeah, there is more to phones than just tunning, so I completely understand you.
Hopefully this experience helps you finding what youâre looking for in you future cans.

The aria is not old at all, why would it be not good?
Not only it is good but itâs one of the best value headphone in its price bracket. It is sitting on the top of the mountain of 0-100$, with Mele and thieaudio legacy 2 (according to a majority of reviewers).

Just received the Aria two days ago and I can vouch for how good they are! For the price theyâre quite impressive. I enjoy the smoothness of the iem.

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,Iâve ordered them yesterday since many reviews (youtube/forum/reddit) say it is very good. Howâs the stock eartips tho? Iâve also ordered spinfit c100+ just in case.

nice man, Iâm sure you wonât 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 thereâs nothing to worry about I guess.
yeah so true, but the store owner seems like a nice guy. Wouldnât want to tarnish my relationship with them and make future purchases awkward? 
thatâs 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.
