Yeah, I‘ve not heard the Timeless yet. I‘m considering getting it as an addition, but since I got the Oracle recently that’s probably going to be on pause for now.
If you want, I wrote a small review of the Variations here. It‘s such a good set of IEMs.
You said that you like clarity, especially vocal clarity, detail, and a bit of fun, right? In that case I think the Variations is probably right for you. Very detailed set. I‘d describe it as „clean and lean“ sounding while maintaining musicality. The extension on both ends probably leads to that being the case; exceptional sub-bass boost on one end, sparkly and spacious treble on the other end.
I should also mention, where I found the B2 Dusk to sometimes be a little spicy in the treble and almost sibilant, I did not have that with the Variations even once.
Honestly, 442$ for the Variations is such an incredible deal. Absolute steal. You could probably get the Variations and sell the Blessing 2. I think the Timeless complements the Variations very well, for tracks that could use a bit more mid-bass.
I‘m in a similar spot actually, except the Oracle fills the spot of the Timeless for me.
