    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN H60!

    Well I have an idea of what the price will be so I am basing it on that. If you guys look at current prices for the H50 and H40 for example. Might give you a good indicator of what the price is and or will be. Comparable to the TSMR-X. Another clue. I am not 100% certain as it will be up to...

    The PENON official thread

    https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/isn-h60.27272/review/34115/ Something new from Penon and I am not talking about the H60. Read at the bottom. A clue is. it's about them funny looking cables with Egyptian hieroglyphics.

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN H60!

    OK folks. Been working on this the entire week. I can safely say this is the highest end sounding ISN IEM. It can be called co flagship next to the EST50 as it has a completely different higher end sound altogether. I did do a comparison to the EST50. H50, NEO5, and even the TSMR-X as I feel...

    ISN H60. ISN H60. The hybrid game is going strong in 2024. If you haven’t seen what is available for your hard earned cash. It is the IEM technologies and the various configurations that is constantly pushing the envelope on what's possible for personal audio. Taking the best aspects of certain...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN H60!

    I equate the SQ of the TSMR-X and the H60 to be on a similar level. It wouldnt surprise me if some prefer the H60 over the TSMR-X and visa versa. I will do a more in depth comparison soon between them for my reader about the H60. Brought my Neo5 and EST50 to work with me to compare against the...

    The discovery thread!

    Na I skipped on the DX260. I own the DX300Max which has been my favorite DAP since I bought it. Though really not a portable player at all. Its is more relagated for home use. I would assume the DX260 would be a level above the DX180 but what is surprising about IBasso is they don't skimp on the...

    I need another DAP like I need another IEM. But this deal was tempting for me for a few reasons. Upgraded version for free for one. The other is that I still own the DX160 which has a lovely warm IBasso sound. This DX180 seems like it is a clear upgrade on that player but for about the same...

    The discovery thread!

    @Penon I said the exact same thing when I was testing out the prototypes for the Liqueur tips Just my opinion but there are not enough longer stemed tips in general. Some IEMs just sound better with longer stemed tips. Azla Sendafits are my go to when I need a longer stemed wider mouthed tip...

    The discovery thread!

    If you look at the nozzle filters behind a light you can see just how dampened the nozzle filters are. Titanium is the most open or the least amount of mesh. The Gold the most. That sound is already warm so it don't need that gold filter. Kinda pointless. Silver is closer to the Titanium one...

    Low end. Cheap. Generic. Otherwise bang for buck cable thread!

    I second this I have 3 of these things. As far as I am concerned your not going to find any better. I can guarantee you will hear a difference using the Totem interconnect. It is a giant leap above anything pure copper or pure silver or even a mix of those two elements. A leap...

    This right here will make a grown man cry. My Ibasso DX300Max, Penon totem interconnect, Ibasso PB5 Nutube amp connected to the vulnerable Penon Voltage. First time I tried this I was thinking to myself. Now this is end game sound. It has to be. That ghostly detail and imaging, the stupendous...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN H60!

    In due time maybe on my review but I can tell you these are differently tuned. They are more balanced sounding vs the L shaped tuning of the EST50. More treble presence which already sounds different. Not as warm so perhaps a bit less mid bass in comparison. Its not lacking in treble extension...

    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    New Penon OCC849 cable going for under a $100 spot. I am gonna tell each and every one of you looking at this pic. This cable is not only substantial but is a clear value statement from Penon. I noticed they have effectively dropped their 849 line of cables down to under $100. I can understand...

    ISN Earphones impression thread. New ISN H60!

    Solid performers. Thus far very impressed with what ISN H60 sounds like. It is a more refined H50 with one of the best quality bass ends I have heard yet from an ISN IEM that is saying quite a lot as you guys know by now ISN is about that low end. These are whats next and I have them burning in...

    They arent gonna rip you off if thats what your worried about. They will get back to you. Message Penon on headfi and tell them whats going on with your cable. I am sure they will rectify the issue.

    The discovery thread!

    Was looking for my sample of the NEO1. To be honest just about anything will be an upgrade on the old FX40. The only thing that IEM had going for it was some decent resolve for back in the day for its price. They had the classic Japanese treble emphasis on them with some laid back mids. Decent...

    The discovery thread!

    You guys are the first to see this discovery. ISNs newest the H60. These are like a more refined H50 with bass presence of the NEO5 in there. What's interesting is that these use dual dynamics. Seems to be the year of the dual dynamics. But they are stacked on top of each other with a tube out...

    Mid priced IEM cables thread.

    Just tried a few cables that immediately that came to mind. General rule of thumb for folks that want stage and space in their music. Technicalities are best enhanced by pure silver. It is also a good idea to have copper involved with that pure silver to counter the technicals with body for mids...
