    Its not that the stock nozzles are necessarily bad. Its just that the nozzles are fairly short. The Simgot nozzles fit them perfectly and sits much longer. Which endables a better fit inside the ears therefore giving better seal which also equates to better sound. I think it will depend mostly...

    Ok fellas. In the immortal words of one Bob Marley. One love. We are here to learn about Penon stuff. Onwards and upwards we go. When I did the Quattro comparison yesterday I have to admit. Love the Quattros for its natural sound signature. It has to be the most natural tonal character for...

    The PENON official thread

    None of the stuff I get is actually mine. Penon sends them to me to audition and sometimes they are sent back to them. They do want me to keep most of the gears I review so I can answer questions like what is the Volt vs TSMR-X for example. Since I review all of them. They have never told me...

    The PENON official thread

    The only benefit I get is that I get some insight in to their releases and that is about it. I have been a long time customer for penon and I got to know them over the years and so I started this thread. It stuck around as the official thread and that is all it is. I do know a lot about...

    TSMR-X is more bass driven sound siganture but can be more neutral leaning due to true variability to true basshead levels for bass which affects its balancing. Volts has one signature but it is very musical sound signature. Volt is bassy but is more of a mid focused signature. Technicalities on...

    Nope. Never made a penny off of them. I would be member of the trade if I was working for them. They needed a person to help relay what they are doing. They seem to have chose me to do so. I review their stuff but that is the extent of it.

    Physical size differences. I will throw a pic comparison later but the quattros are more of a bulky medium sized overall vs the larger sized Voltage. They share similar bulkiness though. More drivers means larger housing. I dont know if it is possible to stuff 2x 8mm dynanmics with 8 other...

    I know plenty of people that got custom Impacts and Volts so I am certain they can accommodate. I would send them a message about your interest and they will get back to you guys. I do have some information regarding the impending Voltage release. Same team that worked on the Impacts worked on...

    Your right. Sony is due for another revamp for their IEMs. XBA-Z5 was in 2014, IER-Z1R in 2018, If you go by 4-6 year cycles. That means maybe by next year. I say next year as they would have announced something or showed something new at one of the can jams/ trade shows this year if they had...

    The Watercooler -- Impressions, philosophical discussion and general banter. Index on first page. All welcome.

    Seriously your not missing much. I own them and as good as they were once with their tramendous bass impact and extension. It is bassier than the IER-Z1R. These were the top of the line Sony bass IEMS. But it also has a lot of undue warmth associated with that bass. By todays standards the...

    Penon Voltage. Is the newest Tribrid from Penon. These have been taking the spot light for me ever since I got a preproduction model shown here. Before you say. "Those are gonna be too expensive." Well yes these are not going to be anything close to budget level so far as price wise. But they...

    Been testing out some cable combos with the Voltage. The ASOS+ on the Voltage sounds stupendous. Renata is a good match but for folks that want that extra detail and separation. If you are considering the Voltage for classical for example. The combination of the Renata and the Voltage might do...

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    Yes it is. It started out looking like this. Believe it or not this was the first ever Totem cable. Very garden hose like. Then they used a thinner PVC over the material that was more of a lighter blue. Then they used that all black cloth covering and now they have an all-white covering. They...

    Voltage vs the 10th. So the bass end of the Voltage is definitely an upgraded version of whata on the 10th anniversary. With both switches in the up position, I mentioned the Voltage reminded me of the 10th anniversary tuning. So both sets represents Penons version of the V tuning but both are...

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    Well its only about 4.2 inches of the material. Just enough to make a difference. No need for longer one either 10cm version will be fine. It comes up to be about 4.2inches in length. It actually comes with the purple plugs which is the palladium plated copper plug. Thats the one you want to go...

    Ibasso PB5 the next dedicated portable Amplifier

    Believe me this is one of the absolute best materials for sound you can buy with money. It has copper in it but take a look at what else it has. I did a full review for this cable which was initially made for IEMs. It is the same one that I got shown here. And it is using a palladium plated...

    It has to be one of the absolute best IEMs they have ever made hands down that is for certain. It is their best sounding Tribrid. This being said I did a comparison to the OG volts to add on my official review of the Voltage. The Volt still holds their own for just how musical and full bodied...

    Some Drake for bass impact and rumble Same perameters using the obsidian cables, volume matched using Black liqueurs. Quattro bass in comparison has a touch more darker tonal quality to it and does not sound as tight as the Voltages bass. I feel the drivers used for the Voltage is an upgrade vs...

    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...
