Penon's higher end offerings don't seem too widely circulated, possibly due in part to the reluctance of consumers after the the majority of their prior iems were considerably cheaper. imo their offerings punch above their weight, especially when it comes to overall engagement with the music...

that classifieds listing had a very tempting price but there wasn't much about it online/I don't need more iems so I never pulled the trigger. glad it found a new owner :)

final type e, epro ep00, or divinus velvet might be worth a shot

I just picked up the DC-Elite and it's excellent. Haven't been able to remove the Z1R from it but I imagine the Szalayi has some wonderful synergy as well?

Too expensive for the discovery thread and too cheap for the watercooler 😅 Kidding, some Penon releases like Quattro and Serial have been praised across segments

A flawless transaction. The Elite was practically brand new and delivered a day later, thanks again :)

hmmm about the price I expected. the same as the Legend, which seems to be the least discussed Penon release. Although it is a follow-up to the popular Volt and a more enticing (for many) configuration than all-BA. For now I will fight temptation, wait for more reviews and comparisons, and...

this could spark a good discussion here https://www.head-fi.org/threads/mid-fi-general-chat-for-all-discussions-and-general-chat-a-thread-for-all.972437/

I'm interested because they look like they have a chance of staying put in my ears compared to mx500s and bells

I've been waiting to find those cd's for a reasonable price. along with this

has anyone used the 475 with a Sony wm1am2/wm1zm2? They don't have a line out setting and I don't have the ground pin adapter but after cautiously minimizing the volume and connecting I'm not hearing any noise or interference. I've only used it with batteries. just wondering if there's any risk...

Purchased out of curiosity but I have too many iem's including the Penon Legend, 3.5 cable and accessories untouched. I can swap out to the same 4.4 cable if desired. Local pickup in NYC available
