Reply to comment by Megidolan in Moondrop Variations - I'm just addicted to them by vavent_

I’m so happy to find in this sub people with similar to my music preferences!

Sharing more? You mean about artists or gear? If gear, then LCD-X pre-2021 with metal571 EQ profile sounds very good, the only headphone that can compete with Variations in pure subjective music enjoyment, and suits my music library better than HiFiman Arya for example

If artists in consideration, then definitely IVE, STAYC, Le Sserafim(all songs are top tier, just amazing)

OMG is so good, that I don't have even words to describe what I was feeling, listening to it for first 100 times, feeling like on drugs but without them

I also love IVE and StayC in particular already had a special place at RUN2U was my most listened to track last year on Spotify. I think it only beat HypeBoy because I listened to NewJeans more on flac and on Tidal.

Antifragile and Impurities are also fantastic tracks.

I'm with you on OMG. I just can't get tired of it.

Huge thumb up for Antifragile and Impurities, they are perfect, also Blue Flame and Sour Grapes from the previous album are chefs' kiss

And XG's last English single album is great. G-idle Tomboy is also a no-skip album

Also big fan of female vocals with some similar music tastes. I'll have to check out a couple of you and /u/Megidolan's mentioned songs/artists.

Can I recommend Lee Hi for slower but excellent vocals? Very unique textured voice.

hi, you jumped from timeless to variations so I am curious about how much upgrade you felt given price jump is 2x as I'm also planning moving from timeless to variation

Timeless had some nasty bright peak with any stock eartips to my ears, so I was really suffering, but even without this peak, Variations are one of those IEMs that sound definitely above their price bracket, if they will fit your ear, they would be great, something better from Variations would start at 1000$ with IER-M9, Monarch MKII and so on, so yeah, upgrade was significant I should say to my ear, especially as time flows you would love your Variations even more, tonality is just perfect together with great technicalities

If you're saying that for fear of offending (considering stan reputation), dw about it. I interjected in someone else's conversation.

Well I definitely liked their song and MV 'BEcause' when it was released, but haven't enough time to explore more of their songs
