Don't know how Vortex sounds, BUT to give you an idea how H50 sounds... It's a very bright wide and open sounding earphone with quite enough sparkle in the upper top end with (and this part is the difficult part to be achieved) tremendous sub bass respond pushing that amount of air directly to your eardrum just like a real time sub woofer can push.... That's how H50 sounds actually.... Add to this recipe a totally clear deep and transparent / sentimental midrange and here you have a TOTL for every music addict out there...Is ISN H50 darker than Penons Vortex?

I haven’t heard FH3 but used to have FH5. From what I remember I really enjoyed FH5 bass but the EST50 is on another level or two. Both in terms of quantity and quality.Hey there!
Can anybody make a comparison between FH3 and EST50 when it comes to bass quantity?
For my personal preference bass quantity on FH3 was quite enjoyable but would not want any more of it.
I am enjoying Kinda Lava and FH5 too but I would not mind a little more bass....EST50 got me really interested.
Maybe someone who has heard them can write a few words, i would appreciate it
Friend... to repeat what I have many time allready stated here and on my FB profile: I was super excited when I first got H50 (by that time I hadn't heard EST50s yet..) I got EST50S 2 / 3 months later. straight out of the box I knew this was pure heaven to my ears... The most exciting earphone I had ever experienced till now and you can see from my signature downlow that I have spent some cash as far as iems goes...@alexandros a great to see you’ve also fallen in love with the EST50. I was curious of the MEXT but to hear you prefer EST50 over it is interesting and my wallet thanks you. With increasing diminishing returns this can easily be my end game for bass.
Is ISN h50 easy to drive with basic SE dongle? Is it really necessary to go balanced? I might get an extra cable but would rather not. (Maybe this one https://penonaudio.com/isn-audio-occ-8-core-mmcx-iem-cable.html?search=Isn?) I would like to use it with the one from ISN I got from Penon https://penonaudio.com/isn-audio-type-c-dac-adapter.html?search=Isn&page=2 that I got single ended
Thanks for your replay!Not only does it run well off Dongles, the H50 achieves a style of optimization from such devices. I use my Shanling UA3, and it’s amazing! The ISN H50 procures authority out of very little, and displays such size as big and wide!
Very very easy to drive with nearly everything you can think of, I think S8 (the included ISN cable) is pretty good match, otherwise you can buy any other ISN cooper cable to tame the brightness a bit (in case you are a treble sensitive person)Is ISN h50 easy to drive with basic SE dongle?

Good afternoon) Sorry, I'm writing through a translator ... I see a big discussion on the H50 here, I decided to ask, maybe someone knows. I use H40, I listen to them with Hiby R3 from balance ... and there is Xduoo 05 Plus with bursons, sometimes I listen through it. On the H40, there was more midbass and it was difficult to control it, I looked at the grill mod ... I ordered grills and took out the filter. The bass picked up, became more penetratingly articulated, the midbass became smaller ... But the middle went down, adding a little brightness at high frequencies.
In terms of growth and renewal, I began to look at the H50, as it was believed that the H50 is free from these shortcomings and their presentation is similar to the "W" more suitable for me. But most of all, the quality and quantity of sub-bass worries ... I'm not a 100% fan of exclusively low frequencies)) But I love low frequencies to infra-low, and I'm not interested in the amount of bass as such, but I'm interested in its quality, density, elasticity, filling, articulation , attack ... How it happens that it is not difficult to implement mid-bass, so I was interested in sub-bass that speaks better than in H40, well, or some other headphones with all the exceptional features of H50. I understand that when choosing other headphones, I can lose detail and a good extended midrange ... And a good midrange in our time in such a budget is, in principle, a rarity.
One good person with extensive listening experience suggested instead of H50, Intime Shodd, Fiio Eclipse, 7 Hertz Timeless, Snorry 12, Kinera Nanna, Mangird Tea or IMR Elan, consider as an alternative to used ... namely, taking into account the expense better sub-bass without losing the characteristics that the H50 has at mid and high frequencies.
And so I wanted to ask in this thread if this is so and maybe someone had the experience of comparing the H50 with the headphones from the list ..
From what I managed to look for 7 Hertz Timeless, there are several revisions.
The Snorry 12 is the same as the 7 Hertz Timeless, but without the sub-bass.
Intime Shodd - emphasis on sub-bass ... The rest of the frequency range suffers (
