šŸ”¶ MoonDrop Variations

The Mangird Tea could be anyone’s endgame. I prefer it to the Blessing 2 because of its sub bass emphasis and smoother/more relaxed treble.

I’d be looking at a tribrid if I were you. I’d completely skip the B2 & Dusk if you already own the Mangird Tea.

Just a heads up for anyone considering buying the variations, the faceplate came loose and the 2 pin plug started falling out of my right earpiece after only a month. The warranty card that comes in the package says they do not cover ā€œdeformed shellsā€ or ā€œdamaged plugsā€ so looks like I may be fucked. $520 down the drain. For what it’s worth they sound amazing, probably my favorite out of any I’ve tried before they fell apart lol

Is the faceplate completely off? I’d try a little superglue. Where are you storing it? I have the Blessing 2, Blessing 2 Dusk and the Variations and I have no issues with any of them, but all my IEMs are stored in a controlled environment. The 2 pin connectors were extremely tight just like any other 2 pin IEM I’ve owned. Maybe even tighter. I am using after market cables on all of my Moondrops.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues. If you purchased from Apos, they usually have warranty’s past the manufacturer. Might be worth a shot asking them if they could help if you can’t resolve the issues yourself?

The face plate was starting to come off a little in normal use. The 2 pin connector popped out and the faceplate came almost all the way off when I tried to unplug the stock cable to switch to a kbear cable. I actually got the connector back in place and the faceplate back on but the connector is really loose and wiggles around like crazy. Probably just gonna get worse now.

I had blessing 2 og, dusk, and s8 and didn’t have problems with any of them, switched cables on all of them too. I store the variations in the case they came with. Just bad luck I guess. I bought them from headphones.com, and their policy seems to be ā€œcontact the manufacturerā€ while moondrop’s policy says ā€œcontact the sellerā€ lol. Guess I’m just waiting to contact both on Monday now

I can take the face plate off pretty easily now and i think I can tell what went wrong. There’s a faint rectangle on the back of the faceplate right above the connector, and I think there must have been some kind of glue/adhesive holding both in place. And maybe there wasn’t enough. Think I might try to glue it myself, but I don’t know what type of superglue to use and I don’t want to fuck it up even worse lol. It still sounds fine though

I thought you meant just the 2 pin connector being loose and the cable sliding out of it. Not the entire internal 2 pin housing inside the IEM coming loose. I’d return that immediately. Sorry bro.

I ended up using just a tiny bit of super glue to secure the 2 pin housing and the faceplate and that did the trick. I’ll stop hogging the thread now haha

That intro was super nice 🤌

My blessings 2D faceplate broke off and i thought they might have learned and wanted to upgrade because i really like the sound. But won’t do it after i see they still can’t build IEMs

You used the wrong coupon code I think. When ordering more than $400 HIFIGOYM15 should give $15 off.

I used the coupon they gave me. It was 5 am :rofl:
