Quattro is just so darn good for instruments. The timbre is amazing.

One of my favorite all-arounder IEMs especially at its price point.

I've just completed a Dongle Shootout that includes the Penon Tail which you're cordially invited to read here. :smiley:

I think since you own some of the higher end stuff. You of all people will appreciate the TSMR-X. Now you can take that level of sound on the go without worrying so much about how expensive it is. But then again you will like the sound so much you will probably baby it anyway. Lol.

I would switch out cables. I don't think its the best for the TSMR-X. I get it. Its what they had on hand. Its the same cable used for a few of their IEMs the Akiba, RGB, Sands.
Because of the tuning switches you can really tweak the sound to your liking. And since it is a nicely detailed fairly sensitive IEM @ 10 ohms they take to cable rolling like a champ.

So far I like hybrid cables the best. ISN H2, GS849, Cadmus X ErosS. I know you will be cable rolling anyways. All in due time my friend. Looking forward to see what you have to say about them.

Ordered my first Penon IEM: Geek Wold GK20 along with two sets of eartips. Looking forward to them based on the solid reviews. Seems to also be a reasonable price for the configuration.

I didn’t receive the usual shipping notification and forgot about it for a while until it showed up yesterday which was stunningly fast even by Penon’s standards.

They just responded quickly to my inquiry and mine is on the way. Looking forward to it.

Got my NEO 3 today. What a nice looking little IEM. Coincidentally got my Totem cable today as well, so I put both of them on my system to burn in. First listen sounds good. Very good detail, adequate bass (very punchy but not super deep or full), decent stage, good tonality and timbre. A nice all-rounder. I don't see any glaring inadequacies, everything sounds really good overall. I'd say it's priced just about right compared to ISN's other offerings. Gonna give it a chance to burn in for a while.
