Hearing a similar level of scale for the Starfield is less surprising to me, but still leaves me completely satisfied. When I initially heard the Aria I was shocked by its level of width and depth for the price point. If you’re familiar with the Aria’s soundstage, the Starfield will feel right at home. A magnet coil also supports this system by improving transient response and dynamic range. It’s also dampened by a gold-plated brass inner chamber that helps smooth and balance the signal. This gives the Starfield superior stiffness and toughness, all while shaping different analytical characteristics to the sound signature. #MOONDROP ARIA VS STARFIELD DRIVER#In terms of its configuration, the Starfield is constructed using a 10mm dynamic driver with a weave carbon nanotube array diaphragm. The outer shell sits in your concha naturally and was never a bother to me throughout my many hours of listening. My only issue with it is that my Final Audio ear tips sometimes feel off of the spout when inserted in my ear, but the Starfield comes with enough of their own tips that will fit better anyway. It’s also a bit more angular than the Aria and in my opinion an easier fit within the ear. Its shape is similar to the Aria, but with a glittery blue hosing in place of a black one. When it comes to design, the Starfield definitely pops. Lastly, Moondrop gives you a pair of tweezers for some serious IEM cleaning. You get the same case as the Aria though, a circular zip-up case with a few sets of silicone ear tips in a tiny ziplock bag. This is a lot more ordinary IEM cable than what’s offered with the Aria, giving you a thinner braid with a plastic sleeve. Of course, you have the cable, which is 4N OFC Litz with a 3.5mm termination. The Starfield comes in a standard long box that contains a few notable accessories. Does it sound any different? What You Get The Starfield just crosses that price tag at $109.99. This time I was able to get my hands on the Starfield, a sort of older sibling to the Aria, which is one of my personal favorite IEMs that you can get for less than a hundred bucks. As they’ve gained popularity in the consumer and audiophile world, we here at MajorHiFi have been excited to try out more selections from their library of IEMs. Moondrop has been one of the standout brands for me this year.
