$500 is a lot to spend on the Moondrop Variations let alone any in-ear, but this is as good as it gets. Anything more and we're pretty much entering "subjective" he-said, she-said territory.

Whassup, folks! Y'all showed a lot of love in the Audeze Maxwell video -- thank you so much! Spread the "GearUP" word - share and reshare some more, lol. BTW, here's the affiliate link to the Moondrop Variations... thank you! apos.audio/products/moondrop-variations-tribrid-iem?sca_ref=6013768.DtxLlQedET

I remember when I first bought the variations. The sound wasn’t there but after some time of adjusting and switching ear tips there was a night and day difference. They don’t make a Variations 2 because it certainly has stood the test of time. Greetings from Tokyo. 👋

GM ☕️…the Variations are the top dog in my IEM’s stable. The cable ( I had them replace it ..poor connectivity) ..I still replaced the cable and I run the Effects Audio 8 on it. These IEM’s bring both power and the smooth …they are my favorites. Have a great weekend ..also I run the Final Audio E or CP100’s Tips . A great and accurate review..and yes it’s still relevant.🙂 Have a great weekend.🍻

The variation stood the test of time pretty well.

Honestly, I have wanted to get the Variations for the past couple of years. However, after I bought the Moondrop Blessing 2 Dusk I had the best sound I have ever heard. I would still like to get the Variations in the future but I don't have the impulse to buy them as I already have a good set I listen to. I will also add that the benefit of these types of analog products is that they are just good as when they were first released and they last longer than any wireless sets.

So true on your last point. And with the Dusk, you might as well hold off for the Variations 2, lol.

Good one Aaron 🍻 I love both my variations and ie600. Variations seemed more neutral and ie600 has slightly more exciting mids but both are very good

Cool that you get to enjoy both 🤘

Thanks for the video Aaron. I recently bought the KZ ZEX which has an "electret" unit and a dynamic driver configuration. For my ancient ears it sounds great, has terrific controlled bass and is literally 1/50th of the price of this! That being said, I'm sure this is a great IEM. Just not in my range especially if it's lacking the bass I enjoy. I've really been getting into Electronic Chill lately and bass is a must for that🙂 I do have the Moondrop Chu ll and they are really nice though!

@michaelcorcoran8768 15 күн бұрын

Well, one of the benefits of IEMs is there's no software or battery. So there's really no reason to avoid older stuff. In fact, there's almost no reason to buy the newest stuff when it's hyped up and marketed like crazy and as expensive as it will ever be.

The beauty of tech advancement is (like I mentioned in the video) is that you can get pretty darned close to the (subjective) performance of the Variations. Things like the Thieaudio Hype 4 and Blessing series are such examples of punching way above their weight for less money. The Variations still has my vote, ultimately though 😆

@asan1050 22 күн бұрын

Aaron ! I am curious.

@shahkhan110 14 күн бұрын

nice review....btw, how are they different from hype 2?

@gearupaaron 13 күн бұрын

I'd say the Hype 2 has more sub-bass, totally different category IMHO. The Hype 4, on the other hand, if you can swing it, is fantastic. I'd still pick the Variations, though.
