actually i like Penon Orb Build quality more xD
i have lot of IEM with fancy faceplate, it just the simplicity of clear faceplate with every driver placed beautifully that works for me

I actually REALLY like the looks of the Orb. Somehow, it pulls off the all-transparent look exceptionally well. I do like the red and blue material in them. It’s not really the build quality of the Fan that I’m commenting on (though I think its build quality is really good), it’s the beautiful faceplate.

Thanks for reply! I'm even more pumped about Globe now
I almost purchased Globe but I still haven't got the cable from Penon, which I bought btw 27.02 and still no sign of it in Norway where I live. So it goes with the standart shipping

Someone here said that Penon Orb with this os849 cable gets noticeably better. I wonder how would that combo stuck up against Globe or Dunu sa6

Ps Headbanging yeah! ...and my journey in to the extreme have been catapulted with( among others) Toxicity album

i can concur this pairing. it works very well on my set.
For now i'm enjoying (very much) the Globe as they are...

You need to send them a message. they always respond...

Would you mind comparing to the Blessing 2 and Dusk? Thanks!

I can't compare as I don't have them on hand. Cheers.

Quite busy lately hence my inactivity. Starting to get back to the hobby. Received some PMs regarding my take on the Globe. Quick impression on the Globe will be the bass is articulated well with agility and each hit is precise. The midrange is imbued with a slight tinge of warmth and transparency is maintained at a high standard. Vocals are expressed cleanly with fantastic clarity. Treble is light, airy and extended. Soundstage is pretty open. Hope this helps.

Looks gorgeous!!
Is it the upgrade over the ORB Or just a side grade?

I would imagine the Dusk version would be more similar to the tonality and technicalties of the Globe. I have the standard blessing 2 and revisited the earphone recently to do a comparitons the Rose QT-9 Mk2. Stage and technicalities are on a similar level but where the big difference is dynamics. Blessing 2 is guilty of being a bit on the boring. I doubt anyone is gonna say the Globe will be boring. lol. Blessing 2 is a bit on the bright side due to the ample upper mids and a neutral FR. It has a capable bass driver but moondrop is guilty of detuning the bass end hense the need for a Dusk version to wake up a bit of that driver.

I can't speak for the Dusk version but Globe with its rich mid range now with excellent treble extension/ presence mixed with a big dynamic flare and large stage. You can say the Globe is a more colored sound but it is colored in a way that is more engaging. Blessing 2 is more closer to a neutral type tuning so some might like it better but obviously some felt it was a bit too strictly harmon like and hense a need for a revision.

Hi everyone, long time lurker here and that's my first post

because of your recommendations I bought Penon Orb and really happy with it. Waiting currently on the Penon cable you guys recommended also( os849 I think it's called).

I want to buy new iem and deciding between Dunu sa6 and Penon Globe.
Listening mostly to metal(death/black/prog/dissonant stuff). I'm eagerly waiting for more impressions of the Globe and how would that work for very fast paced, dynamic music that's often quite nuanced and poorly mastered.

Penon Orb serves me mostly well, but it's not the most technical iem and some treble extension is indeed missing. Have a feeling that bass is not the fastest one, but I love it anyway

Can anyone guide me here towards Globe, Dunu sa6 or maybe something else to use mostly for extreme metal?(Not convinced about either Lz A7 or Um 3dt) Balanced, musical and warmish sound, that has nice technical foundation without sharpness is my preference. I would like to complement my Orb with something a bit different but from the same planet if that makes sense

thanks for tones of great advice I've got already!

best regards to all here

The Globe w/ the OS849, very fluid, Dense, Dynamic, open, sparkling...

"Dorian" - Agnes Obel ; Fantastic separation, quality of instruments, the voices. This scene is no sweat for the Globe...

@Dsnuts thanks for your recommendation for Penon Orb!
Since you have heard both Globe and Dunu Sa6 what do you think would work better as I upgrade? Do you have any personal preference between those two?

Thanks, @Dsnuts. How about timbre between the OG B2 and the Globe? I have read varying opinions regarding the B2's timbre.

 

[Dsnuts]

Globe has a warmer smoother richer timbre Sonion BA I would assume. B2 is more sharper a bit cleaner and dry for timbre

B2 really is more analytical in the tuning approach vs the much more musical Globe presentation. They have complimentary tunings actually.

Thanks. Is the Globe vented well and thus lacking that vacuum pressure feeling in the ear? I am super sensitive to that back pressure/vacuum effect.

It’s vented and I don’t feel any pressure buildup

And you are another person i would like some insight from, if you don't mind. How is the Globe for classical, notably violin and oboe?
