What a mess, my mistake...

In my case the same. I live in Spain.Depends on the country. My TSMR-X from Penon arrived in about 17 days without any customs to Hungary. I choose Free shipping.
I order a plethora of things mainly from China and get customs very rarely (about 1 in 100).
On the other side, DHL, FedEx and similar always do customs with a noticable fee.
Yes, but the strange thing about the Express Service option (+$1.00) Express service:I asked pennon before i ordered. They told me select express shipping, and no tax in france. So maybe ask first?
It's curious.I guess we're both unlucky because I used normal shipping with the same result
I choosed normal shipping too, but I received TSMR-x very quickly. So I wonder if Penon didn't send it in speedest and no normal shipping... That could explains custom fees !?I guess we're both unlucky because I used normal shipping with the same result
Do you own either the TSMR X or the Penon 10th AE, and if so how does the Feat compare?
Ok, I received the Feat two days ago and they have been stuck in my ears ever since.
Their musicality is very bassy and juicy, the double DD is incredible and delivers one of the most vibrant, dense, deep and addictive bass I have ever heard. I thought that the Quattro was amazing in this regard, but the Feat offers less resonance and thicker flexibility, the bass lines are magnified in physical presence, we follow their fundamental tone more than the bite of the harmonic, it's alive and elastic, and not just boosted in the sub bass, we have an authoritarian and round attack from the mid bass too, the kick is round, the sub bass too, and they coexist together in a muscular dynamic.
The mids are soft and warm, not too flat, the female vocals are natural and without a high harmonic point distorting their timbre for the benefit of the clarity of their presence, it is broad, creamy and enveloping and well placed over the bass.
The highs are dark but not faded or too static, the percussions are well separated but not super bright or sharp. This means that the snare does not pierce the ear as well, but it is easy to appreciate.
The spatiality is vast and immersive, very holographic, the listener finds himself mixed in a multi-layered tapestry of sound.
The tonal balance approaches a W shape, warm and dark, where the bass dominates the dynamics without overflowing towards the front, this affects the background darkness.
The Quattro are more U shaped, I haven't made a direct comparison with the ISN Neo3, but it seems quite similar, with warmer and less striking bass....
Real ear candy and a big crush for me. Now I want to hear all the IEMs using this dual coaxial driver!
yes i have both, 10th is more W shape, its sub bass isnt as extended, thick and boosted, Feat is warmer, more bassy and darker.Do you own either the TSMR X or the Penon 10th AE, and if so how does the Feat compare?
Thank you!yes i have both, 10th is more W shape, its sub bass isnt as extended, thick and boosted, Feat is warmer, more bassy and darker.
Mids are smoother and more pleasant male and female vocal wise, not as boosted in upper mids it seem, overal balance is more cohesive in timbre with Feat but treble isn't as speedy and snappy nor as airy. Feat is more laid back and fatigue free for long listening, i never consider 10th very bright but compared to Feat it is.
Soundstage is bigger with 10th, notably deeper.
i prefer bass and mids color and presence of Feat, while 10th offer higher technical performance and resolution, treble part is biggest different as well as sub bass rumble is thinner, more sucked up.
Feat is more similar to Quattro and bassier ISN Neo3, again, i prefer warm vocal of Feat over those 2 even if not perfect in intelligibility of each words, when you tame sibilance part it stole a bit of word articulation sharpness too...
