    Update: Oops, I am not sure what I was doing, the M size was way too large, causing all sorts of weird issues. So, MS I have found is perfect for me. My initial negative impressions are now gone! The fit and comfort are now first class. Attached em to my new UM MEXT and they sound phenomenal...

The tracking service is first class really comprehensive. I chose Priority postage, which included all customs and postal costs. Their communications were...

    Astell & Kern Kann MAX

    A massive thank you to Stephan, working at the A&K distributor, HEA Distribution, in the UK, for a fantastic trade in for my year old SR25 to the KMaxx. The battery had bulged and taken the back cover off the SR25. Rather than wait 6 weeks for the Gernan Service Centre for repair, an...

    Stoopid question time. I tried to remove the tubes in the normal way...rocking and lifting up. But they just will not move. Very stiff. There is a white part on the bottom and i am not sure how you actually practically uninstall and reinstall the tubes, please guys?

    Yes I can readily appreciate the scaling up. 3 hours in and the soundstage is extending in every direction, instruments are getting more fluid and spatial seperation is deepening. Amazing.

    Hi @Dsnuts! I received the Penon Mix cable today! Mate, even with very little burn in, EVERYTHING you said in your fab review is true. I cannot add anything more. Its so superior to the stock s8, its mind boggling. More of everything and the silver does give you more sparkling highs, without...

    Indeed, mate! I'm a vinyl man, first and foremost. Anything approaching an analogue-y sound is music to my ears, and oh yes these are the most analogue sounding IEMs I have experienced..no harsh digital artefacts, or that slightly metallic edge to the highs, here. Sheer, fatigue free listening...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN NEO 3!

    I hadn't really ventured far into portable hi fi. I have a really good hybrid tube stereo system. But now with a commute to work, its become a neccesity. I stumbled on the H40 through a search for an iem with a "spacious, big soundstage", as that and big bass floats my particular boat the most...

    Thanks Dsnuts. Wow, I cannot wait. They are presently at the airport in China, waiting for the airfreight process to finish but Penon did say it could be an extra 2 weeks due to Covid delays. Got my H40 in 2 weeks! I loved your review, by the way and that settled it for me so thank you!!! The...

    [REVIEW] - Comply Foam Tips

    My ears just do not get along with silicone. 30 minutes and the back of my ears ache and hurt like mad. Never found even one model that avoids this issue. So in a sense, I am stuck with foam. Funny thing is the foam freebies that come with every IEM I have owned are pretty useless sound wise, as...

    Just waiting on a Penon Audio Mix cable as recommended by Penon. The stock s8 is wonderful. I'm greedy and just want to push it to its max in my budget. In the meantime, what is the actual best way to wear the H40??? Lotsa fiddling about and I am presently wearing them with the cable connector...

    Thanks to this thread, I bought a pair with stock s8 cable. Wow. Just wow. Everything already stated above. They are the most magical phones I personally have heard. Soundstage...bass...highs. All beautifully presented in a very analogue-y way. What is the best way you guys wear them? After...
