Really glad to see a video on this one. Really stuck between it and the clairvoyance

This review was informative so I dropped a like

Much appreciated review. Thanks you sir. Covering the fit is important since its a chunky iem with all its tech inside.

Fun game with friends: take a shot every time Precog gets the price wrong

Looking jacked ma man

Finally! I thought you might not review Variations after such a long time since it's release. Like your style as always:)

I was looking forward to a Moondrop KATO review from you guys.

Nice review, would love to hear your take on the EJ07M in more detail.

The IER-M9 has been my favorite IEM the past few months after upgrading from the B2

Great review! What's the song at the end?

After A/B-ing Monarch 2, Blessing 2, Helios and S8, I can see why you’ve slotted the Variations. It’s my favourite out of the lot - mainly for the subwoofer separation (mid-bass dip) and well resolving experience. S8 comes close but the warmer mids seem a bit tiring. Dusk seems a bit too harsh on some treble notes. Monarch 2 is not that resolving. Helios is great… the clunky fitting is really hard to sell. You truly are one heck of great reviewer, mate!

Thank you, do you recommend any amp or anything to get better experience with the Variations?

Thanks for the review… guess one day I ‘ll get them… but I just got Blessing 2 😆👍… with really beautiful graphene copper silver wire …. I just want to say I have never been able to listen to IEM for 4hours… lot of audiophiles say this “ I can wear them for 6-7 hours… I can do like 40 minutes and take a break and then some more…🙋‍♂️😁

As an owner of the variations, I say you described them perfectly.

If people are afraid of the size of the Variations, you can use Moondrop's own Spring tips. The Spring tips are really small and do a good job of creating a seal without increasing the nozzle size that much.

Me and you don't always agree, and hey that's okay man 😄 it happens and no big deal to me. But, I mostly agree with you here. In my opinion, some other rankings didn't give vari a high enough grade in resolution, it's legit up there.

do you have a link on your iem rankings ? thanks

I think my ear holes have gotten a little larger since January (first iem and the rabbit hole that followed). I used to be perfectly fine with mediums, now I’m more of a ml/lg… at least my right ear seems wider.

Great review as ever Precog, any idea when the THIEAUDIO V16 DIVINITY will come up for review? Lastly, Moondrop S8 upgrade path?? I love the S8, I bought them on yours/Mark's glowing reviews. So, a replacement must really take most of the top tier performance and increase it quite some way, at around $1500 area...?

please help me.....i'm so close to make my purchase between Moondrop Variations and Thieaudio Monarch......i have 2 issues......since im from Asia....India but not indian watever Asian.....i cant test them out my own 1.Bass.....is the original monarch $730 better than variation? like punch, thumpy and rumble like vibration likewise? and how deep it is comparing from the variation sub-bass.......i have stream so many video of those 2......but idk wats the best in both 2. soundstage how wide it is.....is it better than variations.......like back and front of head.....how tall.....is it better or.....please i hope i can get a specific end game full result and honest one please help me.....im bout to make my purchase soon btw! and is the monarch fast.....i hope the monarch is better....if the soundstage is more clustrophobic i sacrifice for variations i also wana know is it fast.......i know about the mid and treble both iems im fine with those....and where the store for monarch plz tel me💜🙏😢

EJ07m is an absolute beast

does anyone have a solution for the channels being mixed. sound that is supposed to come out of the left bud is coming out the right one and vice versa. i have the moondrop variations

Just cross my mind when I see you talking about the SA6… the community around Resolve likes the SA6 a lot… and EST112 not for it’s treble response …. but Your friend Mark Super reviews loves EST 112 very much… where do you stand with EST 112…. Mark even has it as a Yearphone for last year…✌️😁

What I'm is more worth it for 500$, shuoer ej07m or moondrop variations?

Sorry, I was looking for a Harman-tuned nail file but sadly this does not fit the bill.

I like this video, it talks about the hardware itself and that's sort of uncommon.

I dont mind paying 500 us for a pair of iems are the variations good for pop/rock with good vocals and jazz music?

Great review 👍 Got the Moondrop KATO for my wife , she likes them 😊 I just got Crin’s Midnight IEM’s..the IKKO OH10’s is the top dog in my IEM’s stable with the midnight just behind it and ahead of the KATO….the Variations are a tad out of my price range. Btw, my EDC. is the Moondrop Aria + IFI Go Blue in Bluetooth mode 🥳 Cheers 🍻

Theo getting thiccer and thiccer is the highlight of every video 😂😂 Love the review as always, keep it up man!

So tne end comment is if you like Harman curve then this is the choice at $520 but the Dusk is still the value play. But what is missing to me is what you would prefer for your non-Harman (U-Curve?) preference.

I'm currently deciding between Moondrop S8, Monarch Mk2, Mest 2, or Tia Trio (Used). Which one has the overall best technical capability, stage, punch/slam?

Time passes ..May 2022 🔥 I’m thinking now that this may be inline after my S12’s for the top spot in my IEM’s stable 😋☕️🥓🔥

The only thing stopping me from getting the Vari or the Dusk per say is that their massive nozzles are bigger than my tiny ear canals. I have trouble with 5mm nozzles with a 6mm lip. Imagine the hell that is the 6.5mm cylinder of the Vari

I have the regular B2, what iem should I go for when I'm gonna upgrade this?

I am glad I clicked on this review as I was going to buy them until you mentioned the thin midrange, I'm out. Thank you for you review.

Case Black?

2:19 Dunu's cords are gorgeous works of art. Triumphant mantlepieces that you are proud to display, and that no one would dream of putting around their ears for any meaningful amount of time unless they're shitfaced and grabbing things off your mantle to use as props for jokes that only make sense if you too are shitfaced or just delusionally immersed in an expensive hobby

I had the variations but ended up going for the Monarch MKII. The lower mid range scoop was a little too much for me with the variations but I don’t think anything else is as detailed for the price. The clairvoyance is good but definitely not as resolving.

Hi 🖐 i need your experience!! next week i will finally buy an earphone but yet, i still couldn't choose a reliable earphone😑😤 because i don't have experience in this field!! & an important point that i want earphone just for the song, not for vocal !!! just the song !!!! the vocal doesn't matter to me , because I'm not listening vocal !! my style music(Trance, electric, Ambient) with flat neutral-Harman sound !!!!! It should be perfect & excellent in mids ,upper-mids & treble !!(with big wide,height,depth soundstage & Resolution, separation, & clean) !! which earphones is it ?? (Budget ~$1200) i was going to buy Monarch Mk2, but i gave up!! I will be happy if you tell me a few recommend 🙏🏻

Great review! Based on this, what would be the best recommendation as a step up from the dusk? I love the dusks but would want a stronger bass to have that difference when switching between them. 👌

EJ07m has better bass and mids tuning than the Variations IMO. The lower mids recession on the Variations is going to be a deal breaker for some people.

The only helpful thing in this vi d. Is when yon said KATO. I gave mine a ForzaAW cable upgrade, around$ 400 total.

Any thoughts on what would be a great IEM for metal? I have a Dusk, but I think the bass shelf starts so low that instrumental bass, bass drums and guitar often don't go that low and the song ends up being a bit bright and harsh without the low end. A T2 Plus balances that better for example.

I think an iem touted as the best around 500 needs more coverage smh

The Variations are good and I mean real good ! ....The anime bag of food...the bread should be replaced with two big rolls of salami ...

Since when did Precog have boulder shoulders lmao damn

This or the SA6?

Do I buy this? Haha

Variations overrated... Great and accurate review.

EJ07m finally getting the respect it deserves. Well done Precog.
