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!

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...

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?

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...

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...

How is the vented bass driver please? It weight coming from a DD lover.

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.

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...

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...

Alea Price went up by a lot last minute in EU. Now € 1099.00. Got to say I love the FIIO design identity...

Should be out end of the month...

@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...

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...

What are the audio features/consequences of high ohm resistance buds?

Is there any other installments on the series?

The current yen correction makes it an world wide audiophile opportunity to get gears at better conversion. How is the logistic to get something from Nobunaga? I got a lot of dedicated inears for basses :) Really looking to dig deeper into buds for their convenient long term sessions.

Could you advise a warm bud and a treebles specialist please?

In the last minute I've just started a cable making company called Asgard :wink:

This is high level jewelry, it's not for sound improvement, it's a collectible with secondary sound properties.

Cables are much more important than daps or tips or even in-ears!

A tour is one copy and they can rely on experienced organizers after sending it. The reviews of a successful tour is worth a whole marketing campain.

Competition is also on the build quality at this price tag. Pilgrim is not build like Neo5. I'm surprised that Penon keep the construction they used long ago.

How to cloud those issues? let's do empty talk.
