Specifications

MOONDROP officially specifies 122dB/Vrms sensitivity, 33Ω ±15% impedance, 16Hz–22kHz frequency response, 20Hz–20kHz effective response, 0.78mm 2-pin connectors, ≤0.05% THD, zinc-alloy housings, brass nozzles, and both 3.5mm and 4.4mm plugs in the package.

Advanced 10mm Dynamic Driver

The ARIA2 keeps the acoustic architecture focused and coherent with a single 10mm dynamic driver rather than dividing the frequency spectrum between several driver types.

Its driver architecture uses a large, long-stroke symmetrical magnetic circuit together with acoustic-cavity resonance control. MOONDROP designed this arrangement to provide broad dynamic capability while minimizing distortion and maintaining linearity.

This approach can reproduce everything from:

• Deep Bass Notes
• Kick Drums
• Bass Guitar
• Vocals
• Piano
• Acoustic Instruments
• Cymbals
• Game Effects
• Movie Soundtracks

through a single coherent transducer.

TiN Ceramic-Coated Composite Diaphragm

One of the most important technical upgrades in ARIA2 is its TiN ceramic-coated dome composite diaphragm.

MOONDROP uses a multi-material, two-stage manufacturing process designed to improve stiffness and high-frequency performance while maintaining very low distortion. The goal is stronger treble extension and resolution without creating an excessively rough or metallic presentation.

This design helps provide:

• Cleaner High Frequencies
• Better Detail Retrieval
• Improved Transient Response
• Controlled Treble
• Natural Instrument Texture

Patented Long-Stroke Magnetic Structure

The ARIA2 uses MOONDROP's established patented dynamic-driver architecture.

Its large long-stroke symmetrical magnetic circuit is combined with acoustic cavity resonance control to improve linear movement and reduce unwanted distortion.

This contributes to a sound that can remain composed during both quiet passages and more demanding dynamic sections.

Extremely Low THD

MOONDROP rates the ARIA2 at:

THD ≤0.05% @ 1kHz.

Low distortion is important because it allows the driver to reproduce the incoming signal with fewer unwanted harmonic artifacts.

For listeners, this can contribute to:

• Cleaner Vocals
• Better Instrument Separation
• More Precise Detail
• Less Congestion
• Greater Clarity at Normal Listening Levels

VDSF Target Response Tuning

The ARIA2 is tuned according to MOONDROP's VDSF Target Response, a frequency-response target developed around acoustic measurement principles and listening research.

MOONDROP describes the resulting presentation as natural, open, delicate, and precise.

This makes the ARIA2 particularly suitable for listeners who prefer:

• Balanced Tonality
• Natural Vocals
• Controlled Bass
• Clear Midrange
• Detailed Treble
• Accurate Instrument Timbre

rather than exaggerated bass or sharply boosted highs.

Wide 16Hz–22kHz Frequency Response

The rated free-field frequency-response range is:

16Hz – 22,000Hz.

MOONDROP separately lists an effective response of:

20Hz – 20,000Hz (IEC60318-4, -3dB).

This gives the ARIA2 coverage across deep bass, vocals, instruments, and upper-frequency detail.

33Ω Impedance

The ARIA2 has a rated impedance of:

33Ω ±15% @ 1kHz.

This makes it suitable for a wide range of audio sources, including:

• Portable DACs
• USB DAC Dongles
• Digital Audio Players
• Laptops
• Desktop PCs
• Gaming Handhelds
• Compatible Smartphones
• Headphone Amplifiers

A powerful desktop amplifier is generally unnecessary for normal listening.

High 122dB/Vrms Sensitivity

MOONDROP rates ARIA2 sensitivity at:

122dB/Vrms @ 1kHz.

This allows the IEM to reach practical listening volumes from many portable and desktop sources, although the final output level will always depend on the connected device.

Premium Zinc-Alloy Housing

The ARIA2 uses a zinc-alloy cavity rather than a simple lightweight plastic shell.

The housing is manufactured through alloy casting followed by precision CNC machining and uses customized screws for assembly rather than relying only on adhesive.

This construction provides:

• Premium Feel
• Greater Rigidity
• Improved Long-Term Durability
• More Precise Assembly
• Distinctive Metal Appearance

CNC-Machined Brass Acoustic Nozzle

The acoustic nozzle is manufactured as a separate CNC-machined brass component with a gold-plated surface.

Using brass allows MOONDROP to achieve precise nozzle geometry and density while also giving the ARIA2 its distinctive premium appearance.

Replaceable Acoustic Filters

Earwax, dust, or other debris can eventually affect the acoustic filters used inside an IEM nozzle.

ARIA2 addresses this with a replaceable acoustic filter system.

The end of the brass nozzle uses a detachable structure that lets users replace the filter more easily than with traditional permanently layered nozzle assemblies.

This can improve long-term serviceability and reduce the need to replace the complete IEM because of a blocked filter.

Detachable 0.78mm 2-Pin Cable

ARIA2 uses a universal 0.78mm 2-pin connector for the detachable cable.

This provides several advantages:

• Easier Cable Replacement
• Improved Long-Term Serviceability
• Compatible Upgrade Options
• Different Cable Length Options
• Bluetooth Adapter Compatibility
• Alternative Termination Options

MOONDROP specifically notes compatibility with accessories such as its Littlewhite Bluetooth neckband and FreeDSP cable system through the detachable connection.

Upgraded Hybrid Litz Cable

The supplied ARIA2 cable combines copper and silver-plated conductors in a Litz-style structure.

MOONDROP also uses a star-twisted configuration intended to reduce signal interference.

Unlike many IEMs where changing source connection requires replacing the entire cable, ARIA2 uses an interchangeable plug design.

3.5mm & 4.4mm Plugs Included

A major advantage of the ARIA2 package is the inclusion of both:

• 3.5mm Single-Ended Plug
• 4.4mm Balanced Plug

MOONDROP confirms both plugs are included in the retail package.

This makes it easy to switch between different source devices without purchasing another complete cable.

Use 3.5mm for:

• Laptops
• Desktop PCs
• Game Controllers
• Smartphones with Compatible Output
• Standard DAC Dongles
• Many Portable Audio Players

Use 4.4mm for:

• Balanced Portable DAC/Amps
• Balanced Digital Audio Players
• Desktop DAC/Amps
• Compatible Audiophile Sources

Important: The source device itself must provide a genuine compatible 4.4mm balanced output before using the 4.4mm plug.

Easy Plug Swapping

The modular cable uses screw-fixed interchangeable plugs, helping create a secure mechanical connection after the desired termination is installed.

This is especially convenient for users who regularly move between portable and desktop audio setups.

Passive Noise Isolation

ARIA2 does not contain electronic Active Noise Cancellation.

Instead, its in-ear design creates passive isolation when paired with properly fitting ear tips.

A good seal helps:

• Reduce External Distractions
• Improve Bass Response
• Stabilize the IEM
• Maintain Consistent Tonality
• Improve Listening Immersion

Because no electronic noise cancelling is involved, there is no battery to charge.

Multiple Ear Tips Included

MOONDROP includes multiple ear tips in the ARIA2 package.

Finding the correct size is important because fit directly influences:

• Comfort
• Bass Response
• Noise Isolation
• Tonal Balance
• Stability

If the IEM sounds unusually thin or lacks bass, trying a different ear-tip size may improve the seal.

Excellent for Hi-Fi Music

The ARIA2 is designed first and foremost as a Hi-Fi in-ear monitor.

Its low distortion and balanced VDSF-oriented tuning make it suitable for a wide range of genres:

• Pop
• Rock
• Jazz
• Classical
