Are to me it depends.
The only carrier that didn't lost package in my memory was DHL, but as you know they were kinda too expensive for tours if you are only making decisions for something like blessing 2.
FedEx used to lost ny Nintendo switch (pretend they delivered on 6am and they never do)
Ups used to deliver my cousin's laptop to another building...(and plus 1-2missing package during earlier times of covid 19 where we don't have anyone to monitor package, I would say it's not their fault though)
Basically their honesty depend on their local employees...not quite much difference, but we do have to get things going.

Ah..right even Amazon the one supposed to have best R&D resource in the world got gps issues and always deliver my packages one street across😭 DHL indeed never missed any packages but they are the one of the most expensive service indeed. Hope you get the tour packages back to your hand👍

By the way RSV is really the spade of reality simulator...I just played a live recording, and noticed I haven’t used RSV for a while, put RSV on, then I was again shocked by RSV’s capability of simulating personal hearing.

I have to say there are no other IEM that works as reality simulator except RSV...this thing disappears when listening into live recordings. Great job!

Moondrop Variations dropping next month? Sighhh...my wallet hates me already. 😭

@MOONDROP Why the name "Variations"? I liked the star/space themed IEMs.

The "variations" in music/dances.

Is the faceplate final?

the new Moondrop is interesting because i though the treble on the original Blessing 2 was a bit dry and digital sounding, if they fix that it will be something amazin

Herbert (Moondrop's CEO) posted a graph on their discord for the "Variations":

Dunno if it's just a prototype or final tuning, but FR-wise it follows their traditional harman-ish target.

And also their new ultra-budget (~$10 USD):

Likely.

Great! I guess I’ll start saving up for it, hope ShenzhenAudio this time ships with DHL express, not 4px which they used for my Dusk...

How much do you have to spend for Shenzen to use DHL?

The rabbit hole goes deep, but these work well with most ears & IEMs without being considerably more expensive.

What changes would make the sound right for you?

Moondrop Sparks:
OOTB, this immediately become my favorite TWS over AirPods pro.
-Wide diffusion field
-cohesive overall tonality
-bright neutral with slight bass floor lifted, not harman level.
-3-4khz area is a bit bright with a good consequence of vocal transparency.
-Not offensive bright to my standard, it’s about same as Sennheiser’s HD560S class.
-For extra $5, you a nice leather case with 水月雨 Moondrop kanji icon.
-piano sounds very welcoming on Sparks. Especially nocturnal type slow and mellow one.
-comes variety of ear tips(regular silicone, bass boost thin skin, form, AND shorter tips)
-good deeper insertion to keep TWS stable, and this helps for smaller ears for the housing not directly interfering with ear.

Moondrop nailed it

Basically it’s about same price with Aria $80 vs Sparks $90+5 for leather case if you want.

Sound Quality wise Aria is on upper hand, but not very far, both has wide sound stage, tuned right, bass may sound a bit more engaging on Sparks with bass boost tips on.

Great for pops, with vocal focus, and inoffensive back stage music & good bass, it matches perfectly with pops /EDM.


Why would I choose Sparks over Airpods Pro? The bass, on AptX, with bass boost ear tips that came with Sparks, it’s a promising Oomph experience, not just ear canal, but inner nose also get a sense of bass resonance.

Hello,

do you guys think that DAP will be better for my Aria or my LG V40 is OK?

AFAIK, LGV40 already have decent DAC in it.
If you want to buy dac better than the one in LG V40 you might ended spending money twice than Aria.
