Variations

1DD+2BA+2EST In-Ear Monitor

 
 
Variations takes Moondrop's classic sound signature and applies new technologies to make it even better.
 
While in-ear monitors with electrostatic drivers have been a much-discussed innovation, many have been challenging to drive or come along with major tonal inconsistencies.
 
Moondrop's engineering experience has culminated in Variations, a hybrid IEM that properly implements dual electrostatic drivers to great effect. Thanks to 3D printing combined with a precise physical filter structure and frequency divider circuit, the sonic result is one that takes the popular Blessing sound it and augments it with improved bass texture and treble extension. 
 

  • Moondrop purchases from Bay Bloor Radio include an authorized 1-year Canadian Warranty, featuring local repair/replacement without requiring you to incur international shipping costs.
  • All products are shipped from our Toronto-based store, with no surprise cross-border fees or import duties.

 

Driver Structure
The bass driver adopts the newly developed 10mm liquid crystal diaphragm dynamic driver with a composite copper inner cavity. The diaphragm, with a thickness of only 9 micrometres, has balanced compliance and damping.
 
Dual balanced armature drivers are customized by Softears. Not only are transients proficient and excellent in detail, but they exhibit amplitude-frequency characteristics that meet the high requirements of Variations' design.
 
The Variations treble driver adopts Sonion's new high-power version of one-to-two compound double electrostatic tweeter, which brings high-efficiency, dynamics, and excellent resolution to the highest frequencies of your music.
 
In order to achieve excellent frequency response and consistent phase across all frequencies, Variations inherited and improved the hybrid crossover design of Blessing. Thanks to a 3D printed precision acoustic channel, combined with damping materials and filter circuits, Variations' frequency response and phase characteristics are highly proficient.
 
3D Printing Technology
In order to accurately achieve the complex physical filtering of the internal structure of Variations, and avoid any acoustic errors, an ultra-high-precision 3D printing process was needed. We partnered with HeyGears to apply its mature DLP 3D printing technology, and use imported medical-grade UV resin to produce highly precise, transparent, hard, and accurate shells with a complex cavity structure.
 
Ergonomic Texture and Fit
Variations continues Moondrop's ergonomic design designed to fit the human ear canal comfortably and securely. The body is made of 3D-printed medical resin. Hand polished and finely sandblasted, the surface is skin-friendly for an excellent texture which fits the ear canal more comfortably. A stainless steel faceplate contrasts the frosted body for a stealthy look.
 
Interchangeable Cable
As typical for Moondrop, Variations uses a 0.78mm dual-pin universal replaceable cable, allowing users to adopt third-party cables and adapters to meet their needs. But the included PCC coaxial single crystal copper cable is designed to ensure excellent sound quality and flexibility right out of the box, with interchangeable 3.5mm single-ended, 2.5mm balanced, and 4.4mm balanced connectors.
