According to my nozzle imitation, the Variation nozzle shouldnât be a problem.
Can someone confirm that the Blessing 2 and Variations have the same nozzle size (6.45mm)?
Wow⊠How is this Japanese user able to fit in a CP100 into the nozzle? That cable looks hella nice though.
I can fit CP100 on mine easly. It streches a bit but all my tips are kinda streched out
Kinda curious to try it with my CP100+ but Iâm also scared of those filters coming off easily. Already replaced with new filters.
Mine came of without filters already lol. I donât use them. That system/glue is kinda clunky
I do.

I purchased both Variations and DQ6.
Letâs see how that may fit my taste.
Will sell then Timeless and H40. 
Thanks for helping!

I should try without filters one day. Yeah, it was a bit of a hassle applying new filters but so far itâs been okâŠ

Itâs only there for wax protection btw. Doesnt change the sound on any way, shape or form. Has been measured by mamy, including HBB.
Glad to hear you enjoying them

Congrats! Thatâs such a good deal, hope theyâll last you a long time.
The Variations do something with female vocals, right? Sound so great. Feels like I have Sennheiser HD600 in my ears with every aspect they are lacking in removed.

Hello everyone. So I am considering going for Variations. Which tips I should try with them? And is the stock cable good enough or should I go for something else?
Spinfit CP155 should be one good option for tips (of course you can always try the stock tips first)

Oh! Then I donât not using the filters if it ever comes off. I tend to clean my ears so itâs all good in the cleanliness part of it.
Yup! Itâs pretty much a dream IEM for Kpop, especially when listening to korean female soloist! I do want to give an impressions soon but Iâm just having so much fun just listening to all my music library as a whole right now.
Thanks! Itâll definitely will! I wonât be getting another IEM at this price range for a very long time.
They sure do! Itâs just perfect with my korean music library!

Hey everyone ive read nearly all of the comments in this discussion and was wondering if i could get a few different peoples opinions in regards to the variations when considering my taste and preferences in music sorry if this is absurdly long lol
So id definitely consider myself a bass head given that i have both a 15" and 8" subwoofer in my car i definitely love good deep clean bass and tonality as for the music i listen to i listen to just about everything from rap, hiphop, R&B, pop, all variations of rock and metal, orchestral, funk, jazz, blues, alternative, indie, soul, classics, some edm, trap, country, dubstep basically you name it i probably like it aside from k pop jpop religious music
i own several moondrop products and personally think that the kanas pro is noticeably better than the aria and star feild and the blessing 2 dusk when it comes to bass quantity specifically after some eq and tube amp simulator to raise the bass on my note 9 the kanas pro is almost where id like for it to be however the timbre or tonality idk which is far too midbass heavy for me on the other hand my aria and starfeild sound about the same as for bass which is noticeably lacking even after eq i also have a pair of QOA Adonis which are even more lacking in the bass region now i have a pair of blessing 2 dusk and without eq the upper mids and the treble sound great by far the best clarity ive ever heard from any speaker in my life however the dusk without eq sounds hollow and body less to me almost to the point where it brings back memories of the earbuds that everyone used to have as a kid in the late 90s 
with eq and simulating a tube amp with my phone the dusk sounds just about where id say its perfect however the tube amp simulator adds bass and mid bass but so much mid bass that it now has a timbre or tonality issue that i had with the kanas pro a so im not sure what i should do the bass self of the variations is noticeably higher on graphs than the dusk but does that actually make a noticeable difference in practice also do the variations fix the issue i had with the music seeming to be hollow with the dusk i really cant believe that some people like super review on youtube think that the B2 dusk bass is overwhelming because i literally cant hear the bass without eq let alone be overwhelmed
As for reference to my âgearâ experience with iems in general and what i have and havent tried with the dusk
I just got into the iem scene about a month ago before that i had never spent more than $30 on headphones now i have a pretty considerable collection of iems and tips considering that its been about a month maybe 2 and im far from rich ive tried the spinfit cp155 tbh they made the music feel too harsh for me im quite sensitive to higher frequencies given im on the autism spectrum also theyre like a satellite dish that catch all of the otherside sounds so i can hear everything around me with kinda kills the music vibe for me after that i tried the moondrop sponge t55 foams tips on the dusk and theyre superb i actually have about 8 spare pairs just in case im also listening to music through spotify on a galaxy note9 running software from idk 2019 i use the shanling mw200 for a bluetooth receiver
Also as a side note i can see from the pictures that the variations are noticeably thinner side to side than the blessing 2 how noticeable is this in practice i ask because my dusk hurts my ears due to 2 healing conch piercings im both of my ears and if i wear the dusk the wqy its designed to be worn it sits directly on both of these piercings causing pain and swelling so i have to use them rotated forward towards my face about 25° ish
If you have any questions about anything ive said here feel free to ask but keep in mind im not super informed on the terminology used in this community so i may use the wrong words to describe stuff thanks a ton in advance
Super review also said that the variations in spite of its graph have less bass quantity.
If you have the budget, you could look into the Sennheiser IE900 (maybe even IE300?) or Sony IER-Z1R.
Are you sure you get a seal? The thing about your piercings and the tilt make me think that you maybe donât, in which case itâs impossible to get any bass. If you do get a good seal and still think the Dusk are lacking, maybe IEMs are simply not your thing? Have you tried any bass heavy headphones?
I had considered the ie300s before i got the dusk i decided against them because i found out that theyre noticeably less resolving or something to that effect its been awhile since i looked at them however the 900s and thoses sonys are out of my budget as i have so many other expensive hobbies i cant realistically justify the price as for seal i would say thats not much of a concern i could be wrong but considering with the small moondeop sponge foam tips my ear canal is completely stuffed luckily not quite to a painful point also with the headphones in with those tips i can barely hear anything around me even with no music playing ive also tried listening to them at the correct degree of rotation and notice virtually no difference in sound i think i may have overstated how much i have to rotate them in my ears i think either my ears are defective or i got a dusk tuned like a normal blessing 2 lmao as for bass heavy headphones what ive owned and tried in my life are airpods and pro Samsung buds 1.0 which sounds good in the bass area and eh for the other areas razer kraken and nari ultimate the ultimate has enough bass but the mids and treble are a sad excuse for music also normal ear buds and obviously the moondrops ive already mentioned as well as the aftershocks aeropex i dont have much of an option for over ear headphones because 70% of my music listening is at work so i have to have something discreet so do you think id be better off sticking with my dusks with an eq applied than upgrading to the variations or monarch? Or is there something else $700 or less youd suggest?
Is there any over ear headphones that you could recommend under $500? I jus5 put on my nari ultimate and now that ive heard the dusks for a few weeks i refuse to deal with the distortion that razers headphones have lmao
I canât really recommend anything, because I havenât heard that much. However I am surprised when you say that airpods and samsung buds have better bass than dusk. Why donât you use those then?
Maybe we mean different things when we use the word âbassâ. Around 150-300hz for example the dusk has less mid bass than the original blessing 2.
Also what I forgot to mention: I never heard of a virtual tube amp, but those kind of dsp stuff (and bad equalizing) can make things a lot worse contrary to the intention. If you eq in the first place, there shouldnât be a reason to use stuff like that. And eqing is easy to fuck up, so you may want to revisit your âaudio enhancment strategyâ. Also pretty every comparison between iems/headphones is useless, if you put on eq settings, that (hopefully at least) only you know.

Good to know thanks for the info also i thats a good point i was referring more to subbass and since you mentioned that i just did a test ( one that i thought i have already done but i guess not) as it turns out the dusk actually sounds perfect the issue is my bluetooth dac/amp headband ive been using with the bluetooth one the lowest response i can get is kIck drums with a wired connection they sound like everyone else says they should so are there any wireless options for dac/amps that anyone here knows about that are completely lossless
I donât know about loseless, but checkout the qudelix 5k. I think itâs considered the best bluetooth dongle. can also be used via usb as a smartphone/desktop dac+amp.
I tried it out and I didnât miss anything in terms of soundquality when connected via bluetooth. Thinking about buying one for myselfâŠ
