So I've had the Akiba, my first CIEM in 7 years, for coming a week now
The ordering process with Penon was very smooth, quick and painless; Chi Kong was extremely helpful
Turnaround and delivery to my hands was a very fast 15 days
The shell quality is impeccable, fit is perfect, comfortable and isolates very well
Out of the box, the Akiba sounded congested and veiled, but the potential was definitely there
Been running it in for around 50 hours now and the sound is starting to open up
The bass extends pretty deep and the sub bass is quite present
Mids is very beautiful rendered and is refined sounding
Treble is extended with an open signature
Very good resolution, imaging and smoothness
I fully expect Akiba to sound even better with more hours to be added on it
Great times ahead in 2022 indeed!
