🔶 MoonDrop Variations

So i’ve been messing around with tips on Var… Don’t you guys hear a decrease in stage when you use spinfits?

[TkSilver]

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 don’t but I use Spinfits all the time. Spinfits give you a better seal than just about any other tip out there. I’m wondering if the “soundstage” you’re describing is your tips allowing your inner ear to breath a bit more than Spinfits allow for?

[nymz]

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. I’m testing something. I’m kinda shocked tbh…

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.

Variations & Spinfit CP155. A perfect pairing…

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.

[Kalnet]

So a friend of mine is lending me his Variations for me to try it out this coming week. I’m lending him my FD5 since he never heard a Fiio iem properly so we’re 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 wasn’t able to get his opinion on it. Thanks!

I don’t own the Variations, but these posts might help you:

A note about the CP155 tips. Just tried them out this morning on the Variations. I tried them on another IEM last night with poor results and wasn’t impressed because they are so long, they were touching my brain! I have them in my ears with the Variations right now. These tips appear to be made for the Moondrop hybrid shell design. The tips slide on the nozzles perfectly and I’m experiencing end-game level comfort and everything sounds amazing. I think I enjoy the Variations…

Variations & Spinfit CP155. A perfect pairing… [variations101]

I have the Variations in my ears right now. I’m a huge fan of Ariana Grande and Dua Lipa. For that kind of pop genre with a lot of full sub bass electronic instruments, the Monarch and Variations excel and are the only sets I’ll grab to listen. Get ready ready for end-game female vocal quality and the best sub bass in the game. The Variations is one of my highest recommendations. Buy it especially if you love sub bass. I just received Spinfit CP155 medium and large tips for my Moondrops y…

[nymz]

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. It’s a hell of a difference to come from fd5 to Variations. Your brain might need some time to process. It’s a completly different tuning.

Enjoy the ride

[Kalnet]

Thanks! I’ll just roll tip the cp145 since I have 2 different sizes.

IKR @nymz I haven’t been using my FD5 much after getting the Mele, so I’m looking forward to it!

[nymz]

Huuuuuumm yeah, that makes sense. Variations is also different than Mele, but closer compared to fd5 (less bass enphasis).

You gonna love it. In fact, they pair really well imo (Var+Mele)

Hope they fit you. Variations is a monster in size compared to those two.

[SHINIGAMI_DIAO]

CP 155 is best match with variations as it’s seems tailored for this iem
Sound and comfort wise is like towards the end game.
Complete with a PW Audio 28 copper v2 will make this iem a beast

[nymz]

Yeah 155 is better than 145. But he doesn’t own it and the Variations is a loaner for now. No sense on buying cp155 just for Variations, as they suck on most other iems, when it’s just for testing.

But yeah. Buy an expensive cable just to demo a set… Right? 🤷

[Kalnet]

Yup! It’s just a loan for now since my he’s loaning my FD5 as well. And yes. I don’t have the CP155 so I’ll stick to the CP145.

Yeah, I won’t be changing anything other than the tips. Maybe I’ll be rotating between 3.5 and 4.4. I’m honestly scared how it’ll sound like with my korean music library. All female vocals with majority of sub-bass focus songs.

[nymz]

Thats Variations special sauce. You gonna love it for that genre, I think

[Kalnet]

I hope so too!

[SHINIGAMI_DIAO]

I don’t mean buy these for loan set. If he intend to get the variations, the tip and the cable is highly recommended
