The PENON official thread
Don't want to derail the thread so no need to go further. I just read that other brands sometime did not maintain high level quality but I must have misunderstood. I'll wait for your reviews. Thanks!- BlueA

Unveiled: Meet the HD 620S
You need to read the french translation of the HD600s page. That's what happen when you cut on human translators. It's talking about kitchen in a very very non natural tone. When you know the importance of copywriting...- BlueA

Thanks for the feedback, you seems confident on sharing a very positive experience. At 1k$ range, mind to share a real example of your thinking that is not top notch?- BlueA

The PENON official thread
MSRP and VIP private pricing are two VERY different things. Having to resort to the second to kinda make the price match should be noted as a missed estimation. Only Penon sells numbers will tell the story but feedbacks in this thread give a strong indication too. Competition is going up as...- BlueA

Oh pleasing surprise! you leave no room and firm confirmation than FIIO did advance DD vs BA bass domain. We share a lot of gears and musical tastes so you hooked my attention :wink: This month release saw a lot of brands pushing R&D. Fiio and Elysian (DD bass) drivers received a lot of praises...- BlueA

Focal Hadenys & Azurys Review & Measurements
This a yearly release to keep the brand visible. Agree there's nothing to see but the brand need to stay afloat. I would without doubt go for a second hand.- BlueA

The PENON official thread
It must be more difficult to price a new product like voltage than to tune such an advanced drivers array. Penon's marketing must know how to reach its base yet at 1200$ pricing range, at least to me, competition starts with perceived quality. Kinera Verdandi which is also all resin convey...- BlueA

Elysian Pilgrim
I see that, sure it's only me, as conception madness. Imagine you just pulled the trigger and need to know an obscure forum where some deep in the rabbit hole expert should explain that you miss bass, mids, etc aka all and you need to cut a plastic donuts to move tips forward so maybe something...- BlueA

Beautiful jewels! In an interesting post-analysis, marketing and segmentation make the cables production more predictable than any technical features.- BlueA

Earbuds Round-Up
@samandhi Your indications are really helpful, it's like a mini map to support my discovery. For unknown reasons the FF5 are still in use, truly no ideas why. No rotation required which is uncommon, it joined my perma collection. In a world where inears pricing want to reach the tulipe's market...- BlueA

Earbuds Round-Up
Thanks you for the whole explanation. I come from a headphones and in-ears background where I had huge rotation from mid-fi to totls. Last year I bough an FF5 as a convenience and I'm still satisfied with how coherent they sound as opposed to hybrids. Now my curiosity deepens, even more with all...- BlueA
