Penon Quattro : 4x Dynamic Driver iem 3-way crossover. Two drivers for bass, 1 for mids, 1 for the highs. So notice, 4 drivers but it's really only three different drivers doing the work. Looks: A beautiful blue faceplate. That reminds you of turquoise rocks. Comfort: I can fit this in my ear concha easily. Nozzle can let you deep fit the iem if wanted. Sound: Gear: As you will read in the sound description. This iem is quite rounded feeling; so I used my Fiio R7 all-in-one to listen to it. As that is a more dry/intense source that this kind...

Amp colorings; A lil subtly hazy (in a positive holographic manner), gives some slammy midbass copium, is forgiving to the shrill of crisp transient DACs (like the DC2). Gain Switch: High GAIN, Sounds less forgiving by a step. I mostly hear it in vocals. Not sure how to describe it. High gain has more of a etch, that can compensate for details missing in your DACs presentation. Low Gain, Is more forgiving and further reduces the shrill/crisp nature of a DAC. Low gain does not have less slam than high gain. The low gain can slam just as hard on my...

Will probably update this later. Box EDIT Update#1: This is so weird. My Nan-7 is actually slamming more out of the Gustard A22 dac than off the Dangerous Convert 2. And buy a big amount, actual bass fatiguing. Both DACs are connected to a Bryston 3BST power amp w/ a passive preamp. While it's the opposite on the HE6 6-SCREW. That sounds more dynamic and contrasting when chained off the Dangerous convert 2. The Nan-7 is actually not polite sounding now when I am using my other DAC (Gustard A22 DAC). Techs & Bass Minimally warm/boxy. Flat...

I feel bad for the people who had to wait on their backorder. The packaging box: UTWS5 + Thieaudio v16 Divinity Presentation and subjective sound description: This actually isn't compressed sounding fore a Bluetooth solution! But I am using an all-BA iem. Quite a good compromise. Vocals don't feel forward. Imaging is actually being staged without compression. There is actually a some sense of depth for a Bluetooth setup. There might be some extra treble-crisp on the top end in the air tones. But maybe that will go away with settings. Or...

Also posted on: https://www.audiodiscourse.com/2022/02/unique-melody-mext-review.html Disclaimer: I purchased the MEXT over the HeadFi special deal by MusicTeck at a discount for reviewers. I have no other conflict-of-interests. Initial Impressions: Bass-head iems no doubt, with an encompassing warmth to follow it. Does have last octave treble extension. PACKAGING: Nice presentation for something with such a small footprint. This is really well designed for simply packaging. Also has a pull-out drawer for accessories. AZLA Xelastec tips are...

I own a upgraded version of the Spirit Torino Twin Pulse turned into a Ragnar special edition (upgraded by the company for the last owner). They fit well and have no strong clamps. I wish the headband had a lohb strap, but that is merely my preference. The bass has a linear bass that is very good for an openback. It won't extend as forward in the subbass as a closed back. If you add a subbass high shelf the extension of the subbass becomes really noticeable. The Twin Pulse mids are still present enough to to work with hollowed voice tracks like...

Purchased it 2020. Never made a head gear post for it. It does not have a cold tonality. Warm organic presentation. Organic as in "not dark in the treble, yet forgiving somehow". Track with normally harsh voices get softened on tracks. My reference track is Chun Li- Nikki Minaj. Treble details do not become sibilant like cold tonality dacs. It has airy extension, but it forgiving in the lower treble/upper-mids area. The real standinf-out factor is the bass extension I get with this dac/amp. The subtle hidden subbass in Kill Jill- Big Boi is...

Purchased by my own money. Bought directly from LetShuoer's website LetShuoer.net. So no conflict of interest. While I said no conflict of interest, I am a fan of their previous work of the EJ07. So I am a fan of the brand. I pre-ordered this iem quickly when it went up. Bass: Bass is both high shelved but lacks a sense of a wet rounded bass hit. I feel planar drivers, like BAs, will always be sensitive to some level of seal leak and need some kind of extra bass in compensation for it. The bass rounded note hit tactility is quite polite. Might need...

Thieaudio V16 Divinity: First thing I notice it's high shelved treble. Airy, but borderline metallic. Its alot like the ier-z1r treble timbre; this is a positive thing. Can't let yourself go too loud. Sensitive iem, need good volume control with your device to find your good loudness sweetspot. Optimally listened to at lower volumes than other iems. Sounds at its best and more dynamic at lower volumes. Unlike other iems that take to louder volumes to hear more treble details. Imaging and depth of the V16 also shines through better at lower...

Purchased the Ikko OH2 myself. Not a review unit. I feel the graph they put on the box is quite accurate. Except for the subbass, OH2 no doubt has lots of subbass just its no pushed forward. Bass: Seems quite bassy with some bloom, but no subbass distraction. Actually the subbass is so good, that I believe the on-box Frequency Response graph misrepresents the subbass extension....it has lots of subbass in a positive manner. Mid bass profile, is more rounded than snappy to drums. But it is a nice rounded feeling like the ie900, but still remember...

Wow Yin lu Mei S4 really is crazy powerful. But it is really clinical-nuetral, unforgiving, cold in its presentation. But this is a positive thing, as this is compensating for AKM DAC's "velvet" transients. 4 gain levels, 127 steps of volume adjustment, 8 kinds of filters. Measure size: 81X32X13mm, about 50 grams. Output Levels: w/127 volume steps: Single-Ended: 4.5 VRMS at volume-127 2 VRMS at volume-99 Balance port: 9 VRMS at volume-127 (1KHZ sine wave) 4 VRMS at volume-99 THD + n, SE port 0.0007% BAL port 0.0006% 1KHZ weight, no load. It...

I have owned the Simphonio Dragon 2 plus for a while now. Great earbuds that can get loud. I received, and they indeed use the same body as the Yuin pk series; which makes them extremely comfortable for me. People complaining of the looks, the material is sparkly and feels solid/well built. Also the Yuin Pk mould they borrowed was made during the time when White earbuds got you targetted by thieves and pickpockets. These are premium products that can be used in the middle of the city with no concern. They seem to be similar to the pk1, but at maybe...

The fit is nice. The cables go around the ear. Somehow they tilt into your ear canal to give an almost custom style fit. So I suggest using smaller tips for a deeper insertion. I got the A8000, very transparent sound signature. AKA U, whilst it maintains forward mids; so they never sound too thin either. Good bass, but tilts more to the subbass. Can rumble like bigger drivers or smaller sealed drivers. Voices are a step forward. Little harsh but not ssssimbilant treble though; but it dances closely enough that bad mastered recordings treble will...
