As many of you know, Penon Audio is a fantastic site for many types of audio equipment. Penon has also been releasing some of its own, in house earbuds.
Here we have the BS1 "Experience" version.
The rounded housings are smooth and simple, making for a comfortable, easy fit. The clear coated cable feels good in the hand as it is non-sticky, though they memory curl up just a touch. The 3.5mm plug is small, but with a good build and nice grooved grip for a solid grip when inserting. The only thing to be aware of, is there is no markings for left and right, so make sure to do a stereo test, then use the red and blue foam covers to label them correctly.
The sound experience is quite wonderful. There is an immediate silky playback, that gives the mids a front seat, making way for some epic vocals. Bass is very much present, but is not boomy. Instead the lows go for subtle, accurate rumble. Highs are just darn near perfect for my liking. Rolling off the treble long before they can get anywhere near harsh, but without giving up detail. There is abundant clarity throughout all frequencies. Overall this is a VERY enjoyable earbud.
The best part, is this is just the beginning of the BS1. Coming soon will be an "Official" and updated version. The new earbud will feature an upgraded build and design, though I have yet to hear it, so I can not comment on any sound differences. When the 2nd variant is released for sale, Penon will discount it for those who have already bought the original BS1.
