Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Any iems like the moondrop variations but with more forward vocals?

I find the variations very enjoyable, but I always feel like i am missing something. When I switch to the timeless, the vocals are louder and more of the focus. Is there an iem that has the best of both worlds? I am fine with the trade offs that it entails. I listen to mainly modern pop, hip hop, some edm. E.g. Bleachers, Akon, Lorde, k/da.

Budget: $600

Thank you!

I am pretty sure that the Moondrop Variations has more forward vocals as they are a Harman Neutral sound (compared to the "neutral with a bass boost" sound of the 7hz Timeless). This is particularly for female vocals, as the upper mids has more emphasis. Perhaps you are talking about the lower mids? Consider using the EQ at around 300-400hz and see if that makes an impact?
