I still can't get through to the Penon site. Can anybody honestly explain what is going on?

Penon is migrating their web site to another web site host is what I was told. So it is a bit on and off right now. All will be resolved soon but thier former web host was clearly having some issues.
Which Penon/ISN in your opinion is the Dome’s bass most similar to?

Neo 5 took a lot of inspiration from the Globe as well. How does Dome stack up against it?


The BAs being used for the Dome is a level above the Neo 5. I can tell just by how resolving the sound is. Tuning is more balanced vs the Neo 5, tonality not as warm. Bass is not as emphasized but not lacking at all in that department. I would say bass rumble is more closer to the Neo 5 vs Globes. Has a slower decay for sub bass vs the globes. Impact is roughtly similar to the globes bass end. I remember some of the owners of the Globe saying they wanted a better sense of imaging and detail from the Globe sound. That is what the Dome represents. Its RP is at $350.

This being said the Globe still holds up remarkably well and is the poster child for Penon sound. Still a very immersive experience the Globes, regardless of all the newness for Penon and ISN, Globe has nothing missing from the sound. I would say the Globe has just a bit more lower mid forwardness over the new Domes. Sounds more mid focused in its tuning vs the Domes balancing but the increase in technicalities is what makes the Domes a new highmark for hybrids at this price range.

Penon really needs to get their act together. They need to get rid of whoever runs/updates/maintains their site and find a better host. This is amateur and ridiculous.

P.s.i don't understand what is a wireless-type eartip...
They are just shorter so they fit in a charging case; at least I think that's the only difference.
Examples: SpinFit CP360, CP1025.

For the Fan 2 the best fit I got in order:
INfiter
Whizzer SS20
TRN T
Spinfit CP360

I was driving myself insane trying different eartips, until I finally went shorter & one size smaller than I normally wear.
Fan 2 fits absolutely perfect now.

Yep, drop down 1 size with the Fan 2, due to deepness.

Just ordered the Penon Fan 2 using PayPal, it charged my credit card but did not reflect on the Penon checkout page, hopefully it went through (sent them an email), first time buying from their website, hopefully it's legit.
Their site is legit as well as their AliExpress store. Plus now you'll get occasional secret deals via email... don't share them with anyone but me.
