^ I'm selling my G4 and a few other iem cables in the classifieds if anyone is looking to try.
I have serial, vortex and have had fan2.Hi friends, I have a question:
Is there such a thing as the Penon of the full-sized headphones world?
I mean that in two ways - both Penon being a lesser-known company that produces products that almost always punch above their weight AND in terms of sound signature. I really like the "Penon sound" as exemplified by the Fan 2 and the Volt and would like to find something similar with full-size cans that are also a good value proposition.
Thank you for any and all insights.
Both excellent sets with probably pretty diverse perspectives (in this forum and others) about which one reigns supreme....Hello everyone,
I am hesitating to buy an est50 or a 10th anniversary.
I am looking for a warm and permissive profile for bad recordings as my favorite style of music is punk rock.
I also have the H40, the H50, the Serial (my favorite) and the Neo 5. Do you think they would improve a lot what I have?
Thank you very much
I used to own the EST50, but I have not listened to the 10th Anniversary. Permissive and warm actually are traits of your favorite Penon set, the Serial (love it myself too). The EST50 might bring more clarity along the frequencies, but the somewhat energetic treble section can be too much for some people. In my humble opinion, the answer to your question might lie somewhere else. Feel free to pm me.Hello everyone,

I agree. I brought my Fan 2 to Canjam, talked to Super Review and he has never heard of it. I couldn't find anyone who's aware of it. Such a great set.Hey Penon, you guys need to figure out how to start taking part in Canjam. You're absence was felt.
I tried so many competitive iems at prices that you kill, but no one can try them. Elysian has a 6BA model at $1500 that Turbo, butastur, and others would smoke, but no one who's not here knows.
You guys are in the big leagues...where were you when I tried to explain why 10th AE competes handily with so many new "wows"?
Please make a showing, @Penon!
Their lack of marketing strategy and attempts at spreading brand awareness boggles my mind.Hey Penon, you guys need to figure out how to start taking part in Canjam. You're absence was felt.

Can't just rely on a few of their trusted head-fi reviewers to do all of the marketing for them.
I guess they're comfortable doing what they've been doing for the past 10 years.
AüR is literally 2 guys open for a year. Penon been around 10 and are clearly a bigger operation. They clearly don't want to market to the rest of the world as someone else pointed out.The same thing was asked a few days ago on the Aür Audio forum. These events are expensive for companies that want to keep costs low, although I also believe that they would recover the investment quickly. But $2,500 minimum for the stand, plus travel, transportation of merchandise, and getting visas on time...
How important is burn-in and cable rolling on Penon 10th? They are lovely but I still prefer Yanyin Moonlight due to more energetic approach with somewhat harder (but not as deep hitting bass). I feel like Penon is smoothed a bit too much. I wonder if that can change but maybe that's just the way they are, I definitely can find some use for them when they're better than Moonlight, but Yanyin's IEM is just more versatile for me.
