I think mine’s arriving today — just an Atlantic Ocean between me and them, that’s all! When I get back home it’ll be second Christmas
Hope you get them soon enough! Everyone should try a planar at least once. I just figured it out right now
Nice - I’m seriously considering these, so look forward to your impressions and how they handle the metal in your library
Metal won’t be a problem to EJ07m, I’m pretty sure
Merry Christmas, dear audiophiles!
I love christmas season. The older I am, the more I enjoy it. When you are a kid, all you care is about the gifts or what Santa brought you. Later in life, you just find youself grateful for being surrounded by your dear ones, and that’s all the matters.
In my house, over the last years, one tradition stay the same. An infinite loop of Frank Sinatra’s christmas albuns, to make sure the vibe keeps going.
I’m not an emotional person, but I get a lot more during this season. I’d like to use the post number 1000 of this thread to wish you all and your families and dear ones a merry christmas, and hoping everyone stays safe during this hard times. Thanks for tuning in on this journey, for tagging along and, for what matters the most, sharing the love about music. Always remember, the Tea cult is just a bunch of friends and everyone is welcome, Tea or no Tea. PMs always open for whatever, even if just for a chat or if you feeling alone tonight.
Merry Mangird X’mas and happy new Tea. I love you all.
From yours trully,
nymz, the Reindeer

Yes, that’s true, thanks for sharing. It’s the same IEM as rumour says they worked together on it or something like that.
Keep in mind you won’t be able to customize ST7 like you can on EJ07 if bought from the source, but none the less, amazing option.
I freaking love EJ07, can’t wait to re-open the box tonight.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful Christmas too…
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry xmas to all the Shuoer team. Hope you all safe!
I can’t wait for midnight to play with my EJ07. Hoping you release more bangers in 2022 and thanks for your work during 2021🔥
Merry Christmas to everyone.
May you all have nice holidays and a great time leading up to the new year.
This marks my first year into the hobby, especially IEMs, and it feels like I‘m both at the end of my journey, and yet at the start in searching for the best of the best out there for my tastes.
May music be with all of you and its joys make you smile wherever you are.
Merry Christmas from me too! I wish you health and healthy ears so that you can listen more but buy less —> everyone to find what they are looking for. Special thanks to FiiO, Moondrop, NF Audio ( and Shuoer ) for making my life a little happier! And drink less
I’d pretty much say your post belies that.
Merry Christmas.
Traded my Variations for an Oxygen (I know I know).
First thing I realized is how well done the treble/upper midrange of Variations (just tribrid things?); Oxygen’s “messy” I’d say. I bumped down 3kHz at random and that seem to improve things.
I’d say I’ve traded some level of “resolution” with the energy that I yearned for. Bass is a bit too “slammy/thumpy”.
Still searching for a set that can deliver very delicious low piano notes (the rumble/ringing/vibration?), which should be my personal endgame.
That is an interesting trade! I spent a lot of time A/Bing the Oxygen with my hybrid, Yinyan Aladdin: IEM discussion thread - #2192 by ttorbic.
I think we’re both experiencing the DD driver experience of note-weight or heaviness of the bass. It almost feels like I can feel the air thumping my eardrums. Personally I’m a fan! I enjoy listening to jazz with either the Oxygen or the Aladdin.
Will you go back to a hybrid you think? Issue with BA timbre is the upper octaves of the piano don’t sound natural…which is why I like the Oxygen for piano.
Ah that’s probably it! It feels like someone is carving something from inside my skull . Personally although it’s an electric experience, I feel like my head is gonna break. It’s bit too much so I’m trying to eq it down to an acceptable level.
Tbh I have nothing negative to say about Variation’s treble which I think is attributed to the fact that it’s a tribrid and the excellent tuning by Moondrop for the higher end of the spectrum.
Now that I think about it the female vocals on Variations really is something else.
Seems like it’s the same reason a few folks around here decided to offload the Variations, me included. It’s not the problem of flaws but rather the issue of the long duration listening experience due to its high technicality. The brain fatigues very quick.
For me Variations just doesn’t captivate me enough to justify the amount of money I spent. But I came to understand and appreciate what bass texture means from my time with the set. The buyer on the other hand said that it gave him the best auditory experience he ever had😂.
On the flip side, I got the Oxygen for essentially 145USD (600MYR) which I think is a damn good value purchase
Dang that is a very good deal indeed.
Have you tried tiprolling? Sounds a bit like pressure build up as well…strange. I don’t have discomfort with mine, and the bass is certainly not that elevated.
