My custom SR8 just arrived !



(Nicely paired with the NiceHCK Season cable)

So far, I'm loving it! Extremely detailed and still pretty fun with nice mid-bass impact (not overly done, just the right amount) and very clean (I mean, crystal clear) vocals. Nice and "big" (for an IEM (my Arya is still larger )) soundstage too.
Will post more impressions and compare it with my EJ07M in the next few days.

That looks sick!

Does anyone know if the cable that comes with SR8 is available separately? I kinda like the ergonomics and would like to have one more.

You can ask them directly.
They will make it available for you, for sure!

Thanks! I've been searching for the Sound Rhyme website but haven't been able to find anything.

I think they’re just on AliExpress. You can contact them directly on there.

Hello there again!

The Quintet has a more lean bass then the SR5. That's what I noticed right away. Quintet has a lot further extended treble and sounds brighter.

Strong and thick mids are the area in which the SR5 wins. Quintet has more typical chifi mids like you would usually expect. Both of them can be very well equalized which is a bonus. The Quintet is a little harder to drive and really improves it's sound when driven by a hybrid amplifier which is typical behavior for planar in ears.

Quintet is recommended for fans of planar treble. This in ear is pure planar treble since the frequency range is mostly serviced by the other drivers, leaving the planar driver for the treble. Very fast, smooth and detailed treble. Micro detail is not emphasized like in a DD+BA combo. SR5 is a highly resolving IEM with typical BA treble that makes details stand out.

Imaging and separation are very good on both sets but the Quintet is much better. The treble on the quintet sounds so good that I'm happy with this set as my endgame. The treble is so detailed that I have no need for any new IEM with a balanced driver. I simply prefer how guitars sound on a planar hybrid. The fit of the quintet is a downside but I can use my Dunu S&S tips much easier. These tips are a massive upgrade for this IEM that transforms it's soundstage into a super huge stage with top imaging. S&S tips shape the treble perfectly.

My Quintet is driven by a desktop setup consisting of a Jitterbug -> Cayin RU6 > Xduoo MT-602 > JDS Atom amp > 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter > ISN S16 4.4mm cable > Quintet.

Very detailed and helpful impressions/comparison , thanks ,

Yes. To be honest, after having my Neon and the SR8, the P8 was a serious letdown. Returned shortly thereafter......

Aful p8, it sucks! Biggest Hype wrong, so I'm not going along with these "famous" YouTubers. Pure marketing!

Penon carry them on both their AliExpress store and their own website.

More detailed impressions to follow, but I am still enjoying the SR7 quite a lot.

It's thick, meaty bass combined with the forward, lush vocals are intoxicating on tracks such as "Love Invention" by Alison Goldfrapp:



It also plays surprisingly well with Orchestral music, including this gem of an album by the Electronic artist Opiuo with the Syzygy Orchestra.



And for something that shows off the SR7's versatility, here's some fast and fluid shredding from Polyphia's guitar ace Tim Henson on "Yas."



These have never failed to put a smile on my face!

Hey @Penon any news on the DTE900?

sr5 arrived today. I wonder why they used huge shells for 5 drives? fit and comfort is very poor. there are problems with air flow, I have a feeling of pressure in my ears. t is greater than 800. As for the sound issue, I just want to comment for the first listening. comments may expire after a few weeks. I thought the treble was better, less bright than I expected. The sound character of the iems is good adjusted. I don't want to comment too much before the burning process is over. In short, the fit and comfort are a disgrace, the sound is as I expected.

Change tips... I only resolved my fitment issues very recently after trying a bunch of tips.
For me the ones that sounded good but also solved my fitment issues were the Tangzu Sancai Eartips. Maybe they can help you to.
