If you feel male vocals are lacking then try them with the tanchjim upgrade cable. From a bright signature it becomes dark and adds more warmth. I personally find it on a similar level to the kanas pro. Better vocals and highs on the kpe whilst the oxygens have a slight edge in technicalities, better bass and a slightly more spacious stage. My o2 have been left faulty for a good time now but if I can't repair them then I'll just sell them (would be a shame).

A cable wont fix the issues on the male vocals, its a tonality thing...

I am using the Faaeal litz copper cable too.

For those who can buy stuff from the chinese site taobao, UM MEST is -10% in price now!
That's 8080rmb or around 1180 in usd.
Must resist..

That's a lot hassle for us.

Warranty? Deal with proxy/forwarder? Shipping price + forwarder service? Dunno if it worth it. But if you have relatives in China it's indeed a tempting price for the MEST.

Dying to audition the FIIO FH7 and FIIO FA9s to compare them to my Shure se846 IEMs. I like the idea of the Dynamic driver for bass and the BA drivers for mids and highs.

Don't know if this been posted already about the Penon Volt EST,but found this,

Electrotatic + Balanced Armature + Dynamic Driver 7 drivers Hybrid In-ear Monitor
Driver:Sonion 4 electrostatic + Sonion 2 Balanced Armature + 10mm dynamic driver
Impedance: 12ohm@1khz
Sensitivity: 114db@1khz@1mw
Frequency response 15-80Khz

Wow 80 kHZ on the frequency response! Big overkill, maybe only dolphins and bats will like it! Plus the low impedance and high sensitivity might make this a hissy set with certain sources.

Any idea how much this set will cost?

Well, since it does have 4 sonion EST´s it is going to be way more than 400 usd at least since the EST´s themselves are around that price lol.

 

[blomman77]

I asked them yesterday,but no answer yet.
I obviously has no clue,but my guess is around 600-700usd
The penon Orb goes for 259usd,and that is with only 2 drivers. The Volt has 4 EST drivers,and i bet thoose are quite expensive.
Then add the other drivers in the mix.

That's a similar driver complement to the TRI Starlight.

If it ends up at least as good as the Monarch or Clairvoyance, for a similar price, it’ll be nice Penon competition to Linsoul. Competition is always good for the consumer, and I would gladly welcome a Penon equivalent of ThieAudio.

I'm watching the Penon Volt, but maybe prefer Clairvoyance with 1DD+5 knowles BA+2 sonion EST. Sonion BAs characteristic seems have smoother transient in oppose to Knowles BA sharp (in a good way, not to be confused with harsh) transients. But let see, im not in a hurry, got the fully burned Trio now in my ears

You are spot on about the distinction between Knowles BA having sharper (not harsher) transients than the smoother Sonion BA.

I have been listening to other IEMs recently and then, today I went back to the Starlights because the new Dunu cable I got for them just arrived. Honestly they are another level, especially for those who like their treble sparkly. Even better with amplification. I suspect the Trio is similar.

The Volt would be around $700 according to Penon.

 

[blomman77]

So the same Price as the Clairvoyance then.
Was hoping for a little lower,but not suprising since it got 4 ESTs. Do you know when it will be released?
