Those were the tips that completely changed my opinion of the Variations from an IEM to use for some tracks only to an IEM that holds itās ground against the Oracle and beats it in some tracks.

Just donāt get a ton since they seem to be very IEM dependent. On the Variations they are amazing on a lot of other IEMs they are not good at all.

It just did the same for me. I love the Variations and love it even more now that it is this comfortable and the seal and just everything is perfect. Had a wonderful time listening to music this morning.
Thank you for the rec @TkSilver sorry I was to much of an idiot not to realize I didnāt own them yet! DOH!

Agreed. The nozzle size is huge but itās meant to fit the Variations perfectly and that huge nozzle it has.
I just ordered another set of medium for my other Moondrops and I ordered a pair of small. Usually small do not fit me but these are so large and long, small might just do the trick. I donāt think anyone would need large unless theyāre a giant! lol
I only got mediums since the didnāt have a variety pack and a medium would tell me if I needed s/m/l easier the picking a small or large would.

Medium usually work for me unless the IEM has a short nozzle then large it is!

So iāve been messing around with tips on Varā¦ Donāt you guys hear a decrease in stage when you use spinfits?
Not really with the 155, it might be slightly changing the shape of the staging a bit but not really decreasing it. (At least not in a noticeable way for me)

I donāt but I use Spinfits all the time. Spinfits give you a better seal than just about any other tip out there. Iām wondering if the āsoundstageā youāre describing is your tips allowing your inner ear to breath a bit more than Spinfits allow for?

To me, wide bores increase SS. But I think it also depends from ears to ears, because of the resonance peaks etc.
Just curious since for me SF drop SS. Iām testing something. Iām kinda shocked tbhā¦
The CP 155 really are great on the Variations.
That being said, if you guys can: try them on the Blessing 2, OG or Dusk. Fit, comfort and sound are all improved. They really match so well with the shape of the B2 / Variations.
Just ordered more to outfit all of my Moondrop hybrids. They really are the perfect tips for that Moondrop nozzle.

Just received mine. Yeah, CP155 seem to be a better fit and slight better sound for my ears, but need to do more A/B testing.
So far, better.

So a friend of mine is lending me his Variations for me to try it out this coming week. Iām lending him my FD5 since he never heard a Fiio iem properly so weāre kinda trading to get a sense of our preferred sound for a month.
I would like to ask @Resolution or maybe others on tips, will the CP100+ (M) be able to fit the Variations or will it be a struggle fit on the nozzle? I do have the CP145 (M) and (S) size with me ready to use just in case. My friend only uses stock tips so I wasnāt able to get his opinion on it. Thanks!

Personally, I prefer 145 to 100 on Variations, and it will also fit better on that noozle. You should be fine.
Prepare to be shoked. Itās a hell of a difference to come from fd5 to Variations. Your brain might need some time to process. Itās a completly different tuning.
Enjoy the ride
