Moondrop Variations Reviews
Moondrop Variations reviewed by: Smirk Audio
Great tuning, neutral timbre, and a satisfying bass with a sub-bass focus. Solid all-rounder.

Very clear with lots of detail. Sub-bass has a nice rumble and texture. Amazing treble extension and stage air. Female vocals are vibrant and shines. Mid-bass cut is real, affecting some genres and male vocals. Note-weight can be light. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

A more refined B2 Dusk with better bass texture and treble extension. Precogvision Youtube Channel

A solid benchmark. Great sub-bass, Harman tuning, and excellent detail. Can sound thin.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Sub-bass-focused signature with Moondrop's clean tuning makes this one of the best $500 tribrids. Crin Youtube Channel
Moondrop Variations reviewed by: Shuwa-T
Comment: Too much subbass, dry sounding lower mids. Clarity Subbass overpowers lower mids
Moondrop Variations reviewed by: Nymz
Resolution king for the price point with a fun tuning. Great sub-bass and treble. Lack of mid-bass bass and somewhat thin mids murdered it for my library. Can see the appeal for others tho.

Not to my taste - treble sounds slightly brittle and harsh - but plenty of resolution and clean presentation. Precogvision Youtube Channel

Dunu DK-3001 BD reviewed by: Jays Audio
Technical, but thin, and bright tilt with LOTS of planar sizzle and timbre. Needs more low-end (small scoop), noteweight is very light, not peaky, but just artificial. Needs 10hm adapter to be balanced. Not a high volume set. Jays Audio Youtube Channel

More mid-bass and less treble would be perfect Excellent bass quality, deep sub-bass, transparent mids, and great resolution. Low mid-bass, slightly lean vocals, and bright treble.Gizaudio Axel original ranking
