Oh, that’s a great looking cable.
It actually comes stock with the Penon Serial and Penon Vortex, but works way better with the Serial........and seems almost to be a mis-match when used with the Vortex? It's not too expensive and does a good job for what it is. The Allure it seems benefits from a slight boost in midrange energy for my ears.......making it slightly faster and cleaned-up...............and that's what the CS819 does, at a down to earth price-tag.

Yeah, for Allure, I’d say if you can highlight the upper mids without touching the lower treble that’d be helpful, or keep that bass to lower mids transition super tight.

I have been to China and South Korea, but I have not been to Vietnam. My wife hasn't been there since she was 8. I believe she has a sister and brother living in Vietnam but her parents died when she was young.
If your wife is safe and sound then it's alright isn't it? 😁 if one day you decided to go to Vietnam, i suggest Da Nang as it is well developed city and have the traditional peaceful and slowness of vietnamese

Oh yeah this the one with the weird name that i always see on your signature, just ordered it for 22$ (sale price)
You have the 7hz Zero incoming. That's a great gamer IEM for the imaging and stage plus details.

Bought them used for 8$, such a steal! Funny that my income is about 170$ a month, yet i bought no less than 30 iem/headphones

Dunu!! You let me down...or more accurately...my EARS! The S&S are just too small for being "large". When I cupped my ears, I can see why @Dsnuts recc'd them, but 11mm is just too narrow for my ears. Now 13mm would work much better, and 14mm would be perfectly ideal. They really add amazing punch to the bass and such a crispness to the highs, but just too small. I'll sell, along with two pairs of Spinfits packs. Please release a 13-14mm XL S&S and i'm all over that like a blonde girl with blue eyes.

That’s great job👍 Reminds me of my young ages. I saved up every penny to buy headphones back then. Even pennies for food

Fitted my AKG N5005 with Spinfit CP360 silicones, and my ears couldn't be happier. Such a quality sound from these IEMs. Such a mature sound. Love them.

Here comes my mate. Yes CP360 is what I found that is a best match for N5005 as well. Cheers🥂

AKG called that matured sound “new aesthetics” Aestetica Neue, it’s on the carrying case.

Yes sir. Those tips are the perfect compliment to the N5005. Cheers! :beerchug:
