Headphoneus Supremus
For Lavricable Master Silver V4 in Headphone Cables
Pros: Maximum clarity from a pure silver AWG22/5N device
Beautiful abundant staging filled with natural image formations
Increases pace and separation from the cable your IEM probably came with
14 different styles of plug choices, along with many other options to choose from
Increased resolution and 3D imaging
Forward vocals formed with IEMs that you didn't know had it in them
Perfect cable middle-size and low-weight gives dexterity and ergonomics
The ear-hooks are lovable
Seems to improve timbre perception in Hybrid IEMs
Cons: Expensive

New Head-Fier
For KZ ZSN PRO-2 in Universal Fit
Pros: °160π Diffence from the OG zsn pro.
°Treble extended without hurting my ears.
°Natural Timbre and Vocal
Cons: Cons:
°Despite its improvements over the original ZSN Pro, the ZSN Pro 2 is not without its flaws. The earpieces' fit may not be ideal for all users, with some experiencing discomfort during extended wear due to their bulkier design. Additionally, while the overall sound signature is enjoyable, it may lack the refinement and nuance found in higher-priced alternatives.
°Same as another KZ.. eartips and cable.. soo bad.

Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out the KZ ZSN Pro 2, also known as its Gen2 iteration. Given my past experience with the original ZSN Pro, I approached...

100+ Head-Fier
For Kinera Celest Pandamon 2.0 in Universal Fit
Pros: Gorgeous shells
Extremely lightweight
A good degree of perceived resolution
Vocal focused sound
Easy to drive
Nice accessories and unboxing experience
Cons: Timbre and Tonality is not to my liking at ALL
Fit is strange for me due to the nozzle angle
Bass is severely lacking in physicality and texture
The treble is too dark and the upper mids are unnaturally boosted
Dynamics are all over the place for my library
Now, I want to preface this entire thing by saying this;

#1. I hate being negative, but at the same time, I have to keep it real here.

#2. While I don’t enjoy these IEMs, I can certainly see...

Personally, I like them aesthetically,
maybe in another color.
The build quality also looks good to the eye.

Ya the build quality of the iems is really great. The cable...not so much for me.

I bought the Penon Serial based on all the rave reviews but it's another set I just don't gel with. 🤷‍♂️

Been waiting for someone who has the experience same like me. I thought mine was broken at treble driver at first since no one I asked encountered the same issue. Glad that I'm not the only one. I agree that there is no connection between range.

Headphoneus Supremus
For Penon Voltage in Universal Fit
Pros: Follow up to their flagship Tribrid Volts
Solid all resin design with proper venting for bass
4 sound channels/ sound bores for excellent sound separation.
Excellent cohesion for tribrid designs
Minimum of 26dbs of passive isolation for outdoor use
Excellent matching gold plated copper Obsidian cable, modular
Adjustable 2 switch design that adds bass/ lower mids or
upper mids and trebles
Very nicely done sound signatures
Neutralish to a mild V shaped signature.
Well balanced treble presentations and an option for a bit more if you like
Penons renowned mids presentation
Optimal bass foundation and an option for a bit more if you like
Lower mids option for greater note weight and presence
Sound design that represents year of IEM designs
One of the best-looking IEMs on the planet in stunning ruby red
Cons: Price mystery? Early preview model so I have no idea what Penon will charge for these.

100+ Head-Fier
For Beat Audio Orbit Saga Flagship Cable Copper/Silver/Gold in Cables and Accessories
Pros: - Transformative sound for the entire system
- Off the charts level of realism
- Frequency improvement across the board - deeper, tighter bass, smoother mids and clearer treble
- Impressive soundstage with added depth and width
- Very well build and pleasant to the touch & operation
Cons: - Price: such an improvement comes with a (high) cost. Only reason why I gave it a 4 out of 5, considering value for money
Let's talk about cables...

Cons: • Polarizing and notfor the treble sensitive; borderline sharp and harsh for others
• Bass quantity might not be up to par for some, especially when the awesome quality leaves you wanting more of it
• Tuning nozzles may just tilt it to be more polarizingly harsh to most

Nice review. Thank you for sharing your impressions of the N8ii, which align with my own experience.

While the tube option is nice, I prefer solid state, AB, P+ mode for detail and resolution.
