Well tracking shows that the voltage have been handed over to the airline. For the flight from China to the US. I hope whatever plane my voltage gets on is an Airbus and not a Boeing 😀

I came here to write something along these lines in response to that post, but I'm glad you wrote it first because I would not have put it so well. That is exactly what I'm hoping the voltage brings. To me the special sauce is exactly what you said. The Volür are the closest thing I've gotten...

Ho-Lee-crap!

I've been good at not neurotically checking my aviot status, but I do check a few times a week. Still says expected late May, but there are no items at the warehouse ready to be fulfilled. Probably will be June at this point. Nothing surprising though.

Enjoy a much needed break. I do agree the 'competition' thing is just strange. The Watercooler thread has lots to offer, but there is a tribal toxicity going on there, and your example is just one of many. If not for that small but core toxic element, it would be a great thread. Discovery...

I owned the z1r and the Bonneville while having the Volür. I only have the Volür left. For bass quality and quantity I couldn't really pick a winner between the z1r and the 64 audio. There were differences but they were minor and I could put the same tracks on A and B and couldn't really pick...

Appreciate the thoughts, but even more curious about comparisons. The comparison to the Monachaa is perfect as those have been on my radar, but are 1K more! You seem to have some high end IEM and must have heard a lot of other good ones. Will you possibly add in some more comparisons on the...

TWS will always have a place in my life as I live in a highly walkable city environment, basically in and just around NYC. They can't be beat for many excursions I do. The MTW4 are my musical set, and I got the Elite 10 because I wanted great phone call quality, and ended up loving them. The...

I partially drunk ordered the Voltage two nights ago, tried to cancel it today but they already shipped! Can't complain about fast shipping, my buzzed shopping habits are not Penon's problem, so looks like I'll have a set next week hopefully. Got to figure out if I can keep them. they were...

sounds like I may have to pick up the Noir and sell the OG lol

There are advantages to having a good vendor in the country especially with returns and things of that nature. I mean this is pretty self-explanatory right?

Yes I too was told they are backordered now as well.

I have different folders/apps on my single page phone launcher screen. Audio apps are a big part of my daily usage, so they need to all be easily accessible. So here are screenshots of the audio shortcut placement, and then what's in the folder - and there are a few more apps below the last one...

With the OG you can pick 3.5 or 4.4. I have to say it feels like the noire was totally a response to the feedback for the Pilgrim from CanJams, as it was announced not long after the NYC one. There was not even a hint of the noire mentioned that Canjam. The feedback for the Pilgrim was that...

Yeah but having the least one dealer in your own country, especially one with an absolutely massive market, is not like asking for an extravagant service for the extra price. I mean let's get real here.

For those with the DC Elite and want to charge while using it, the DDHIFI little usb-c splitter for this works perfectly, since the volume does have the guard on it. See photo.

Most companies want to make more money. There are people here that seem to have pretty close ties with Penon so perhaps someone might have an educated guess.

Any particular reason Penon does not have any authorized sellers in the US? I mean that would really help their cause here. A lot of people won't buy direct from china only, and thus we have far less options here.

Well it's been a few days more of a good amount of time spent with the Pilgrim - Penon Orange Liquer tips and iFi Go Blu or RU7 as sources. They have been on every long dog walk in the last few days, occasionally listening to the Volur at home as well as the Pilgrim. I enjoy these IEM's. The...

Glad you caught that. Spatial sound sounds absolutely terrible with music. It's more for video and gaming use.

The Monachaa were next on my list of pricier IEM's to try to buy. I can audition them but I can't audition the Voltage. But they sound very intriguing, and are easier to drive. This is an interesting comparison.

How do you get the email :)

how does one get the slightly nicer price from Penon on the Voltage, from an email or what not?

You really think the Anni has more bass than the pilgrim? I've read multiple people that they didn't like the Anni because of not enough bass that were intrigued by the pilgrim after hearing it. And I heard two people say the pilgrim had too much sub-base comparatively speaking for their taste.

Anybody else rocking the iBasso DC Elite with the Volur? Finding it a very very good pairing.
