Help me fellow Penon Volt owners. So I noticed the following when attempting to clean my Volt. You can see in the first image that the top right port has what seems to be a black screen and/or a driver body, However, when you look at the equivalent port the top left on the other iem. There is...- BearWant

Several folks here have suggested that the Volt benefits from more current. At present using LG G8, but headphone port is getting finicky. It does a pretty decent job, but I can only seem to trick it to use line out and not high impediance mode. Periodically, I wish it had more impact...- BearWant

I have both the Globe and Volt and love them dearly. I will say fit could be an issue for you with the Volts. They are definately larger and heavier. For me the Globe's are noticably more comfortable and lightweight. Still my ears take the Volt just fine (but wouldn't want bigger), and I can...- BearWant

Thanks! I was looking at this. DIdn't know if it would have a enough gusto for Volt. And I am also new to Apple, I have heard it may not handle bluetooth audio in the most desired fashion. I expect some losses in fidelity, but if it's going to be dramatic, I'll just keep doing as I am now. I...- BearWant

Any input on a good quality bluetooth adapter for Iphone that will provide the Volts with proper power? Would be using either Spotify or Tidal.- BearWant

Thanks for this recommendation. Have to look more into them. They seem impressive. Nice size and not too hard on the wallet. Would you say they would fill a 15 x 15? room with the help of a sub?- BearWant

A bit of divergence here. But I am contemplating a 2 channel or 2.1 system for a medium sized room about 15 x 15. Would love to get some opinions on brands or even specific model speakers bookshelf or full sized that you folks would liken to the Penon sound signature; specifically, the Volt.- BearWant

Thank you Rowan, Rawbine, ehjie, and Dsnuts for all the thoughtful advise regarding my cable tragedy. A genuine question not at all meant to stir up any cable controversy. I am having trouble wrapping my head around how if I went the route of the Totem Pigtail that will work? If I kept the...- BearWant

Hello all, Tragedy has stuck. I was careless and broke the 3.5 end of my Volt OG pigtail. I am assessing my options. I can't find any straight replacements I do see this option on penon's website. https://penonaudio.com/penon-hifi-balanced-adapter-cable.html Overall, I love the Volt's...- BearWant

Thanks very much for the reply. What would be recommended for specs on the impedance adapter? Sorry not familiar enough with electrical knowledge to know what would be ideal. I'll look into those tips.- BearWant

This is directed at those who are familiar with both the Globe and Volt. I'm loving both! I haven't done any tip rolling (using ePro smalls) nor have I done much A/Bing, so this impression could be premature. Also please excuse the fact that I may not have all the proper vocab for sound...- BearWant

Not sure what your budget is but you might consider buying used. I bought both globe and volt this way. They seem to fly under the radar particularly the volt. You would be surprised the deal you can get with a bit of patience.- BearWant

Well I purchased Acuno's Globe last night, so it's likely I'll be in possession late in the week. Thanks for all the guidance! We will see if my impressions are the same as his coming from a similar headphone in the HD 650. He also felt it to be lacking a lot of detail, but it sounds like not...- BearWant

Thank you all for your responses very helpful. Awesome thanks so much for taking the time! This makes me lean toward Globe.

Hey all. Read through pretty much everything here over time. I have been mulling over the choice of Volt or Globe. I think I understand what each are about, but having trouble finding a direct comparison. I am looking for a one size fits all solution. I understand compromises will be made...- BearWant

But why just LAND when I can have the whole globe!!! Sorry I had to. I won't rule that out just yet. Is it a good all arounder? Also, ehjie listed that as having a treble emphasis. I like details, but feel that at times some things can get a little piercing or shouting in my personal...- BearWant

Wow that's helpful! I was starting to make some of those deductions from my readings, but this is a really nice breakdown. So they all share a common musical/organic trait, but then highlight different areas of sound. I think this narrows me to a more Globe vs. Aladdin mainframe. I like bass...- BearWant
