Yes, if your a vinyl guy, you should love theseHey everyone, I’m interested to know what’s the gain when moving from the orb to the globe?
I have had the legacy 3, Shuoer tape pro, and now have the blon bl01 and reecho & peacock spring 1. I like the coherency of the single dd with the bl01 but don’t enjoy the v shaped signature. I like the spring 1’s but can’t put the volume up too much otherwise the highs get too much. So I have a feeling from my experiences I like a bassy neutral signature or I guess it can be called an L shaped signature. The orb intrigued me from the start because it apparently has great coherency and natural sound.
The Globes do have treble, but controlled in a fantastic way - NO peaks, devoid sibilantAm I right in those observations? The treble roll off may actually be preferable for me anyways. Though I’d assume extension isn’t where my issues lie with treble but rather peaky treble would be my issue (because I hear the mangird tea has good extension but just doesn’t overwhelm).
No, not @ all, its more neutral compared to the orbs, so its less coloured from what i hear...The globe looks great but some of the reviews said it’s a bit coloured and so maybe natural isn’t it’s strong suit?
Better treble, extended responseThe orb was on my watch list for very long but just have felt disconcerted by the lack of reviews outside of this community.
What do you all recommend between the two and if not them two what else is an option (like the mangird tea maybe? Just not sure if it has enough mid bass for me).

Wow thanks for the detailed response.Yes, if your a vinyl guy, you should love these

Better treble, extended response
more details, a larger sound field
That's a step up if you like better trebles...
It’s colored for sure, but reportedly less so than the Orb (I’ve not heard the Orb).The globe looks great but some of the reviews said it’s a bit coloured and so maybe natural isn’t it’s strong suit?
Yeah true. I must say that I really like the legacy 3 and it was also said to be coloured (so I actually shouldn’t really see that as a negative and also as you say it may be necessary for a natural playback). I think warm side is pretty good, I loved the 6XX sound and that’s regarded as warm. Honestly the globe is looking really good but can’t afford it at the moment. Probably going to wait until the spring 1’s give in to get it (by then I could have saved up enough hopefully).It’s colored for sure, but reportedly less so than the Orb (I’ve not heard the Orb).
As for “natural”, that’s a term probably harder to define even than “neutral” in objective terms, and will depend strongly on individual experience and preferences - not to mention genre.
Personally I think some coloration is often necessary to sound natural, but in my own opinion the Globe still falls to the warm side of natural whereas “true neutral” would fall to the cold side of natural.

I can try on my IE 500 Pro.This is just a shot in the dark here, but figured I'd ask: any chance someone here has tried a (any) Penon-made cable with the Sennheiser IE 900? Do the MMCX connectors Penon uses fit in the IE 900 sockets? Thanks!
Looks like I need to start on my Globe review.
