Size is best defined as small to medium with average depth so fit shouldn’t be an issue for all but the smallest ear. Seams are quite visible but well fitted with little or no variation in width, and no glue or gaps. The inner shells have two vents, one immediately below the nozzle and a second in line with the bi-pin connector on the inner face of the shell. Nozzles exit the lower/front edge of the shell with a slight forward rake and lack a lip for tip retention. Shells are the standard two part design with an outer face-plate and the inner body that includes the nozzle. The Aria size and shape look much like previous models but corners are less rounded and finish is more industrial and is listed as matte metal spray which appears to be powder coating with gold accents added.
Shells are listed as alloy with a brass inner cavity with high frequency waveguides and a CNC machined outer shell. Moondrop didn’t release many details about the shell materials of the Starfield, but has chosen to go the opposite route here. At the price point it is a fairly complete offering although I do wish the case were a bit larger as it is pretty tight.

The kit includes 6 sets of tips, the cable, warranty cards, case, replacement grill/filters, and a set of tweezers to help install them.
Internally, the space is split horizontally with the earpieces in a surround at top, and the case at bottom hidden behind another gold and black panel. Internals share the black and gold theme as do the earpieces and case. The box itself is a book fold in black with gold accents and looks higher end than the price being asked. The Aria comes in a tall, narrow lift top box with a slip-cover with the return of Moondrop’s signature anime drawing on the cover and specs and FR plot on the reverse. I will readily concede that I have enjoyed Moondrop’s previous models, and do have a bit of expectation bias as a result. I have no affiliation with Moondrop or Hifigo other than customer and have no financial interest in either outfit.

Those who have followed me for any length of time here will know I have owned and the Kanas, Kanas pro (KP), KXXS, and starfield among others. If you have an interest in the Aria, you can follow Moondrop on facebook, or shop Hifigo. Disclaimer: I received the Moondrop Aria from Hifigo in exchange for this review.
