    While I mentioned the switches gives a mild V shaped tuning which is what the 10th is. Believe me the Voltage is on a different league of sound vs the 10th. It is way more refined in every part of it sound performance. The sound performance of the Voltage will more than speak for itself when...

    Its not that the stock nozzles are necessarily bad. Its just that the nozzles are fairly short. The Simgot nozzles fit them perfectly and sits much longer. Which endables a better fit inside the ears therefore giving better seal which also equates to better sound. I think it will depend mostly...

    Ok fellas. In the immortal words of one Bob Marley. One love. We are here to learn about Penon stuff. Onwards and upwards we go. When I did the Quattro comparison yesterday I have to admit. Love the Quattros for its natural sound signature. It has to be the most natural tonal character for...

    None of the stuff I get is actually mine. Penon sends them to me to audition and sometimes they are sent back to them. They do want me to keep most of the gears I review so I can answer questions like what is the Volt vs TSMR-X for example. Since I review all of them. They have never told me...

    The only benefit I get is that I get some insight in to their releases and that is about it. I have been a long time customer for penon and I got to know them over the years and so I started this thread. It stuck around as the official thread and that is all it is. I do know a lot about...

    TSMR-X is more bass driven sound siganture but can be more neutral leaning due to true variability to true basshead levels for bass which affects its balancing. Volts has one signature but it is very musical sound signature. Volt is bassy but is more of a mid focused signature. Technicalities on...

    Nope. Never made a penny off of them. I would be member of the trade if I was working for them. They needed a person to help relay what they are doing. They seem to have chose me to do so. I review their stuff but that is the extent of it.

    Physical size differences. I will throw a pic comparison later but the quattros are more of a bulky medium sized overall vs the larger sized Voltage. They share similar bulkiness though. More drivers means larger housing. I dont know if it is possible to stuff 2x 8mm dynanmics with 8 other...

    I know plenty of people that got custom Impacts and Volts so I am certain they can accommodate. I would send them a message about your interest and they will get back to you guys. I do have some information regarding the impending Voltage release. Same team that worked on the Impacts worked on...

    Your right. Sony is due for another revamp for their IEMs. XBA-Z5 was in 2014, IER-Z1R in 2018, If you go by 4-6 year cycles. That means maybe by next year. I say next year as they would have announced something or showed something new at one of the can jams/ trade shows this year if they had...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Seriously your not missing much. I own them and as good as they were once with their tramendous bass impact and extension. It is bassier than the IER-Z1R. These were the top of the line Sony bass IEMS. But it also has a lot of undue warmth associated with that bass. By todays standards the...
