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

Thanks! Iāll just roll tip the cp145 since I have 2 different sizes.
IKR @nymz I havenāt been using my FD5 much after getting the Mele, so Iām looking forward to it!

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.

CP 155 is best match with variations as itās 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

Yeah 155 is better than 145. But he doesnāt 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 itās just for testing.
But yeah. Buy an expensive cable just to demo a setā¦ Right? š¤·

Yup! Itās just a loan for now since my heās loaning my FD5 as well. And yes. I donāt have the CP155 so Iāll stick to the CP145.
Yeah, I wonāt be changing anything other than the tips. Maybe Iāll be rotating between 3.5 and 4.4. Iām honestly scared how itāll sound like with my korean music library. All female vocals with majority of sub-bass focus songs.

I hope so too!
I donāt mean buy these for loan set. If he intend to get the variations, the tip and the cable is highly recommended
By who? Might share a graph with that cable?
Itās just my opinion after switching between the cables that some recommend to me. Iām not here to debate

Thats my point bro.
I believe you believe in it. But the way you worded it will sound like āI must get this if I want to enjoy Variationsā to someone who doesnāt know better and lands here for the first time.
I have no problem with cable believers. I just donāt wanna see people missinterpreting your words.

Hey @Kalnet Spinfit CP100 will be s struggle. You should be able to get away with CP145 but CP155 fit the Varations nozzle perfectly. I hope they are a good fit for your ears. Iām excited for you! The Variations is one of my favorite IEMs. Let us know your impressions after youāve heard it.
CP155 shown hereā¦

Thanks! Iāll be rotating sizes between (M) and (S) of the CP145 to see which fits me better.
Will definitely give an impression of it!
