Hi, coming from the Fiio FH5 I am after an Upgrade. I like the FH5, but want nearly everything a bit better. Clearer Bass, better Separation, better Stage, a tad more in the upper Register etc. ...

What IEM comes to your mind in 2022 that is somewhat neutral / natural with Bass lift?

Campfire Holocene or Mammoth?

Meze Advar?

Senn IE 600 ?

Moondrop Blessing 2 ?

I think the Moondrop Variations could be a good option if you are looking for sub-bass rather than mid bass.
It's really excellent if you look for that hard hitting sub bass and can live with somewhat lean lower midrange/upper bass.
Clarity, separation and staging are all very good and there is no grain in the treble like with the B2.
Detail is also very good at the price but it's rather smoother than aggressive. Treble depends a bit on the tips, with my favorite Moondrop Spring tips it's slightly smoothed over, other tips can add some bite, but it will still never be very aggressive or forward.
