They sound to me as if Moondrop was able to fit the HD600 inside of a small IEM shell, swap the rolled off bass for one of the cleanest and best executed bass responses I have ever heard

I was looking for good heaphones with better sub bass to replace my HD 600 but I decided to keep Senns ( I think I would regret selling it, I love them, despite the sub bass).
So I just decided to buy a good IEM because it's more portable and easier to drive, so It's good choice for traveling and for using with my PS5 controller.
I choose the Moondrop Variations, and I'm still waiting for it to arrive, but I couldn't be happier with your review because it sounds like it's exactly what I was looking for.
Have you tried equalizing them though?
I think that +2 or 3 dbs around 200-300 hz would give the male vocals the punch it's missing.
I can't wait to hear Radiohead's "Everything in it's right place" after hearing how great the sub bass is!

drop the conversational tone

I liked it! No need to drop it IMO.

Hi guys! I have the Variations and like it for symphony and piano music but the tuning just doesn't suit my taste for other genres as I find it not smooth enough and having an emphasis in the lower larynx region (resolution too high I guess?). I especially like the the sub-bass response of it so I am looking for a smoother version of the Variations with similar sub-bass quality. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks!.

The Kato is taking forever...why?

Well, the big holiday in China just ended. According to the shenzhenaudio's rep they'll start shipping KATO from now. I'd imagine we'll start seeing updates this next week.

Listen at 10:25 where he demoed the Aria and MEST. My goodness that MEST sounds so clear. It makes the Aria sounds so veiled.

Holy crap dude. The TEAs and MEST destroy the rest. Mele not too shabby at all, it comes firmly in third place for me. Based on that demo that is.

decide to switch to my personal account for a reply, I would recommend try dekoni elite hybrid on 600s, much cleaner yet punchy sound,
