    This is such a fantastic idea for a video. For someone like me who doesn’t have $1000 to spend on an IEM, it’s nice to know there are alternatives with 85% of performance. Thanks, brother!

    The Aria has really grown on me, now going on my 4th week of continuous use of it, at first I didn't like it and initially regretted not opting for the Tripowin Mele since I wanted a much better BL03 (which I've heard is just that), but now that I've spent a lot of time with it, I've found that since most of my library comprises of a lot instrumental acoustic and jazz songs, I enjoy them even more than I did with the BL03.
    Whenever I listen to Yu-Peng Chen's Hakushin Lullaby, I always get emotional lol
    And listening to Daoko with the Aria, just pure bliss.
    Stock cable and tips are bad though, but fortunately, I swapped it with my trusty custom braided cable I've locally commissioned and ordered a pair of Final E tips, and now I'm set for 2 more years, the same amount of years I've had with my BL03, which I had to retire since the left ear started fail after my constant use with it.
    Take note that all of my music listening is done through my phone (Poco X3 Pro) and most of the time it's just on Spotify, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

    I like the My Mele more than the Aria, The Mele has a fullness sound, intimate vocal, and more fun and punchy with good and deep bass quality. Of course the Mele have a roll off upper treble/airy, but with natural and fullness bass, mid, and lower treble which i like more. Aria has a better treble extension, but i feel the imaging less fun and definitely less impact bass than the Mele

    • @JohnClarkW
      @JohnClarkW 3 года назад +4

      I have the same thoughts. Own both sets, but Mele is getting most of the listening time. I am getting a 7Hz Timeless to try to see if it finds that middle ground of still having the bass of the Mele, while still getting the detail resolution that I miss from the Aria.
