how can i stop moondrop arias from chipping

Submitted by SteamOvens t3_z3ro2z in headphones

alright so essentially i have owned arias for perhaps a year now and i really like them unfortunately i recently lost one of them and ended up ordering a new pair the silver lining of this is that i want to be more careful with the new pair specifically i am wondering if anybody has advice for preventing the paint job getting messed up like you can see in the photo.

Sorry for your loss tho. But look it at the way as long as it's don't affect the audio experience, should be good

Unfortunately nothing except find a new set. I know we joke "as long as they don't effect the sound " but finding bits of paint in your ear canal isn't fun.

They do look cool like that. But you can always put on clear nail hardener to save the rest of the paint. It'll be glossy

They look kinda cool like that, ngl. But you can sand them to remove the paint.

i have thought about doing that but i like the black palette and currently don't have the tools to do a different finish. might try it out on the spare though

Find beauty in imperfection! I know, it's rough, but it gets better once you accept that these imperfections make them truly yours.

Or you sand them down and give them a painting after covering up the holes.
