    What is new is how the dynamics use a hanging suspension. Dont know exactly how that works. The quattro uses 2x 10mm composite. Actual meaning of composite is that it is using a mix material for the dynamic vs some type of coating or single material like beryllium for example. So the very...

    You know just how much I appreciate the TSMR-X. Just my opinion but the TSMR-X is where the diminishing returns start. This being said my perameters for A/B testing is simple one. I am using the same Obsidian cable and just switching the shells back n forth using the same black liqueur tips...

    Will check on that today. Brought both of them to work with me. Initially I want to say the differences will be in the mids performance and EST implimentation. Just found out today the reason why the Voltage has excellent bass defintion is that it is using 2x 8mm, highly specialized composit...

    Penon Voltage If you ask Penon fans which of the classic Penons catalog of IEMs represents their house sound. That would be the former flagship IEM, the Penon Volts. I did a review for that IEM here circa 10/2020. It was using a 10mm dynamic for bass, 2X Sonion BAs for mids, 4XSonion ESTs for...

    Dont have either sets with me but they are different sounds. Globe represents and older Penon sound with a richer tonal character. Mids have excellent body, fullness and has a musical type of bass which enhances its sound profile. Its got that classic lower mid warmth but also has the classic...

    Not yet. I bet they are trying to figure out what a good price for it will be. I know Penon is a business but I know they are more keen on pricing things to be more realistic than being out of touch. If it was someone like UM or Campfire with this type of sound performance. They would have...

    I dont think so for this one. They included their stock black obsidian cable. Similar to the one that was included with the Impacts. I wasn't told they will include a new cable pairing for the Voltage. However the obsidian cable pairs extremely well with the Voltage. I like it better on the...

    I will post something tonight when I get a chance. I been listening to them intently. I think Penon got another hit on their hands. Rest assured they took their time on this one and has gone the extra with them tuning switches. Will get much more into it in my initial early report. Will end up...

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    This newer version is all white vs the cloth covered version. I agree I like this new white one better.

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    It is roughly 5 inches. I have another one I got made longer at 8 inches. I initially thought I needed a bit longer one so I had that 8 inch version made but then Penon suggested the slightly shorter version with modular ends so I got that too. The great idea about the modular ends is that not...

    Its spectacular. I am writing up a full impression on them. Will post about it soon on the Penon thread. Tuning switches tilts the tonal character to be warmer and bassier. Treble switch gives more presence for a slight increase of upper mids and trebles. Big broad sound presentation. It goes...

    Newest from Penon. 2X8mm dynamics for bass, 2X Sonon BA for mids, 2X Sonion BA for trebles. 4X ESTs for ultra highs. Absolutely spectacular on the PB5 amp.

    Any you guys looking for an upgraded interconnect for your PB5. I can say this customized Penon Totem interconnect is a clear upgrade. I am willing to bet it will be an upgrade from whatever you are using. Cus it is made of this stuff. This cable material so happens to be Penons flagship...

    The way these things look. Their sound easily matches it. Got this over the weekend. The sound of this thing is on another level. They have tuning switches. Not too many options as it is literally two switches. One for bass and lower mids and a 2nd for trebles. Each switch gives another take on...

    Arguably one of the best-looking IEMs Penon has ever made.

    1/4th inch. Roughly 6mm diameter. Its wider due to 4 sound holes

    Don't know. It does come with a nicely matching Obsidian modular cable. Much like how it was used for the Impacts to bring a richer flavor to the sonics. It does the same with the Voltage. Obsidian cable is excellent for what it does but there is room for experimentation with other cables but...

    Voltage. They remind me of a lot of the prior Penon stuff but all the good parts of them. The switches brings a new flavor. Base tuning is fairly neutralish/ harmonish with excellent balance. Folks that was worried about treble roll off, with treble switch on it gives a nice additional sparkle...

    All in due time folks. They got the necessary burn in overnight. Will post some impressions soon. Been dealing with a family emergency so I have to do some family support today but I am very much looking forward to dissecting the Voltage. Unfortunately a product this premium will have the price...

    Seems they launched them with 2 pin only on the web site but I bet if you message Penon they can make an mmcx version for you. Should be fairly easy for them.

    OH DANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aha yea so Penon been cooking up some serious tribrid action. Been a long time waiting for the successor to the OG bad boy Volts. You better believe these are a proper upgrade on the Volts. Much more to come. They are literally 2...

    Your the 2nd person to ask about the modular option. From what I know about that the plugs were deliberately chosen for their characteristics for sound. When looking at the plug it seems to look like a common gold plated copper plug but it is using Penons OFC plug which is a bit different in...

    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    These are an excellent value at the price Penon is asking for. My take on this particular cable. https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/isn-t-occ-triple-copper-hybrid-audiophile-iem-cable.27177/review/33610/ They share a similar sound shaping ability to the Code24 actually more so than the Code23...
