TechPowerUp: MOONDROP Aria (2021) In-Ear Monitors Review

MOONDROP is an audio brand that has built up a reputation of good-value, nicely tuned IEMs at various price points. We put the recently released MOONDROP Aria (2021) through its paces and verify whether the bold marketing claims for its single LCP dynamic driver tuning hold true in the sub-$100 market.

The Akasa AK-ENU3M2-07 M.2 is the first 20 Gbps enclosure we have looked at that is truly tool-less, utilizing big, easy-to-use thumbscrews to hold everything together. While it is rather bulky, that extra material makes for an excellent heatsink, and a great set of accessories further sets it apart from the competition.
