Not my review, but do you agree with that statement?

I haven’t reviewed the Variations. But as someone who has reviewed the Nova, I can say I do agree with resolve and some of the comments commentors have left on the video.

Its a really good iem, specially if you are into ACG music, J-Pop, K-pop. It does lack a bit of that bass texture which the chopin is better at, but a bit of eq can solve that. Nova also performs really well with the divinus tips too and the double flanged, foam tips included in the box.

If I am not wrong, it was on sale for $115 on the shenzhen audio aliexpress store during the 11/11 sales. A great deal at that 🙂

Bonus point :- The included pouch is surprisingly good! Very practical for day to day use.

Resolve slowly becoming an objectivist /s. But seriously, as I hear more and more headphones, the more the subjective qualities define it for me, more than anything we can see from the fr. Don’t get me wrong, I get that “resolution” and such is only a description and isn’t something scientific, and that should be clearly stated.

But when I eq everything to a target, and yet the headphones still sound completely different, the less tonality matters to me. Then sometimes, I forget I have the wrong eq loaded, and I don’t even notice for a while, because the headphone still has those core “subjective” traits. For me, the fr only tells me if there’s anything wrong.

TLDR imo the subjective experience is much more important than measurements for a review. If a review only includes the subjective, I’ll still watch it. If a review is only measurements, I’m not watching that review.
