Your Cons: "mediocre sound stage", if Aria is called mediocre, then most of the other IEMS would fall to sub-par.
Mids: On the frequency chart it is on par with neutral curve, but you can tell from mushy transients of Aria's Mid that the mid is not the strongest point
Treble: I guess we agree that treble is a good sales point, well-textured, fast responding, and decently resolving
Can't hear any mushy transients. Sorry, I do find mids well articulated , textured and fast enough.
Soundstage unfortunately is mediocre but as I wrote not congested so it can handle classical music but not at it's best.
Compare it to the similarly priced FD1 or more expensive iems like the FiiO FH5s or Dunu EST 112 and then we can talk about soundstage.
Come on , it's good but not a giant killer.
$79 well spent with an easy going sound signature to please the majority but not the purist.

I just can't find the dusks comfortable. I feel like the housing is just so big - it hits the top of my inner "antihelix" Almost like it smashes against it.

Does anyone else have these issues?

The B2 is definitely way too big for me. You are definitely not alone.

Keep in mind I have weird ears that are usually pretty fussy with big shells, but the B2 with JVC Spiral Dots attached just kinda slip right in without a fuss. No hot spots or anything. Suppose that's the lottery aspect to these custom-like shells.

Hope you manage to find a pair that fit better!

From video or photos, including that one, I thought Variations was a bit smaller. But, I'm pretty sure I read or watched a review that stated that they both shared the same size and shape housings (but it could have been a comparison between the B2 and S8). At any rate, I don't seem to have any issues with wearing Variations but I discounted purchasing the Blessing 2 or Dusk in the past because I thought they would be too big for my ears.

Just started listening to the my new variations and I’m really impressed by them. Just wow these things rock!
