I rest my case.
You havenāt proved anything, there are translation errors And again - B2 is an upgrade of Aria! Directly!!
I think you are confusing things a bit. No one said B2 is inferior to the Aria or that B2 is not technically better than the Aria.
The main thing I wanted to convey was that for those who are looking to get the B2 based on their love for the Ariaās tuning may not like the B2ās tuning.
I like Warm & Bassy Headphones & IEMās and so for me after using CA Honeydew, AK Diana, Meze 99Cā¦ the B2 seemed Bass light. Itās a subjective thing.
I can appreciate a good neutral tuning, gear like the Sundara, K371, Ariaā¦ are something I enjoy from time to time, B2 unfortunately, was not for me.
Again, when it comes to technicalities like Soundstage, Imaging, Detail retrievalā¦ B2 is an upgrade to the Aria and well worth itās price but, itās tuning is not the same as the Ariaās.
So, if there is someone who wantās to buy the B2 because they like the sound signature of their Ariaās (like I did), I wanted to inform them that there is a possibility that they might not like the B2ās tuning.
Yes. I agree. Iām talking about technical characteristics! Adjustment and tonality is a matter of taste.
I have to agree, the Aria are so comfy I find myself wearing them more often than my Blessing 2:Dusk which hurt my ears .
After using the Blessing 2 for a few weeks now, I have to revisit my thoughts on the comfort and find them more comfortable than the Aria. I never found the Aria fit great (as I said: too loose), but the Blessing 2 fit for me had a learning curve. At first I tried the M size, which I always use, but with the wide nozzle the S size is easier to wear. Secondly I thought that I had to shove the Blessing 2 really into the ear canal, which on one hand maybe my ear canals just adjustedā¦ I definitely donāt find them as uncomfortable as I did in the beginning. On the other hand, if I donāt shove them in, I donāt really loose much in terms of sound quality if at all and the more shallow fit is still very secure.
So overall: While the Blessing 2 can (but doesnāt have to be) a little bit uncomfortable sometimes, the fit is very secure. The fit and shape of the B2 is far from perfect, but after getting used to it, I much prefer it over the Aria.
I can agree Blessing 2 makes a really great seal, almost on par with my friendās AirPods Pro ANC, that is how well it seals out sound. But it causes me pain even if I donāt put them all the way in. Had them since late August, and it doesnāt seem to be improving. My ears just havenāt got use to the larger size of Blessing 2.
I guess you have larger ears than me, I found Aria to be the perfect size for my ears. Small eartips.
Probably. Aria with S tips just fall out for me. L doesnāt fit, cause to large or tips get squezed in a way, where the seal is broken. M works, but it fells insecure. Spinfits improved it a little bit for me, but not much.
To add to that: I think if someone uses S tips on a regular IEM, it is a good indication, that they will have problems with the bigger Moondrops (B2/Variations/S8). If you have L, you should have a great fitā¦
Does somebody have an over ear that sounds (kinda) similar that they can compare their sound sig to (esp. treble energy)? Soundstage (how far out of your head?) and size (how big does everything sound) would be interesting as well.
Hearing good things about it is one thing, but not being able to audition it at all is another.
does anyone know the bore size/filter size of the moondrop blessings? iām looking to buy a set of filters for my Olinaās cuz of condensation issues. from my research, the only filters i can find are the moondrop blessing filters from a few reputable sites(in India). i used an ordinary scale to measure the filter size of the olinaās, it was around the higher end of 4-5mm, so i assume it might be a 4.7mm filter. it will be a great help if someone can measure it and reply :ā)
I think the moondrop filters have no accoustic change, while the Olina does. Cant you buy Tanchjim Tanya?
No, they actually have damping.
I believe they should have nearly as much damping as the Tanchjim filters. So the Tanya should be a viable alternative.
The Variations one doesnt, so maybe thereās more then.
Yeah, I believe its the Var, B2 and Dusk that doesnt have dampers in them.
i considered it but i changed my mind after checking the box of contents for it. it didnāt include the filters while it was mentioned for the olinaās. it is pretty much a gamble if they will include it or nah.
Aliexpress is banned in India and the blessing filters are pretty much the only option at this point :ā)
Tanya comes with 10 or 12 pairs and nice tips. You basicly get a free IEM
As stated, blessing filters will do nothing. Try to get a tanya, they come inside the box.
When I ordered the Blessing 2 there werenāt any filters in the Blessingsā package, but the dealer had put some alongside the Blessing 2 in the delivery package and I still have 6 left. I also currently own the Variations and it had filters included in itās package.
The filters are not the same! The Variation filters are slightly bigger and I remember the Blessing filters barely covering all holes. My measurements arenāt precise, but here you go:
Blessing 2 filter diameter: 5.6mm (+/- 0.3mm)
Variations filter diameter: 5.8mm (+/- 0.3mm)
I have seen some posts about some people not getting the filters with their tanya and the reliable retailers donāt mention the filters in the āin the boxā while they mention filters in the Olinaās. It is a gamble iām not willing to take so iām looking into other available options :ā)
Ahhh thanks a lot!! They wonāt fit the Olinaās for sure. Maybe i might upgrade to variations in the future :3
Iāve only read about that happening once. Why donāt you reach out to the seller and ask? My Tanyaās came with filters and it was a sealed box so I would be surprised if it was seller dependent, random
