I see your thinking, nice. I've got an aftermarket cable on it's way and an eye on another if I can't find a second of the original but the OE cable works so well...

Very tip sensitive these Tea 2. Fortunately Tri Clarion are perfect for them.
My previous favourite, CFA silicone, removed the bass.

I went the other direction: closer color match and a cable termination that is more in line with the Tea2 shell

Are you enjoying your Xenns Top?
How does it sound and how does it compare with the other IEMs you own?

Just ordered, so I should see them in early July.

Four days in and as much as I try not to be I'm very much seduced by my Tea 2.

The Top meets all of my expectations.
The Top is a natural step up, from the Tea series.

Upper frequencies
For someone (like myself) who is sensitive sibilance, this trifecta takes you as close to the edge (in clarity) as you can get, without experiencing any audible discomfort.

Mids/Vocals
The Top (as well as the two Teas) is not a neutral set. The vocals have a solid, rich timbre.

Sub & bass
This is a 9.5 on sub bass & a 8.5 on mid bass, if left untouched. But if you're not diverse to using a PEQ, a subtle cut around the 200hz range and the Top is an all around 9.5, for the low end response.

I haven't tried the Up yet, maybe the coming 11.11 sale

Amazing first impressions!
Can you compare them with IEMs around the same price?
Aurora, or the Penon 10th?

My purchasing habits have changed over the last two years. I no longer chase the latest (& usually a short lived) “greatest”, as I feel my collection is nearing completion.

As a basshead, most of the current offerings don’t do it for me. There is just too much undeserved hype surrounding new offerings, these days. If an IEM stands the test of time (6 months ) in the forum, then I’ll give them a serious look.

I did do a deep dive into the Penon 10th Anniversary and came really close to making the commitment. But some of the reviews (here on Head-Fi.org and the Penon sub thread) pointed out that the bottom end frequencies were not the 10th’s strong point, compared to other Penon offerings. Also a sparse count of BAs concerned me.

I share the same opinion and that's why I kept my interest in the TOP.
Nevertheless I end up buying other stuff and never pulled the plug on these.
I'm more or less sure I will get the Top or the Aurora... Maybe both?!

How it compares to Tea2?
… I saw Up price dropped to the 480-490

I just get one.

Arrive this week, and Im going to compare versus tea OG.

The majority of the reviews says that bass is slow, and little bit sloppy... Will see...

With stock cable.

XENNS TOP are just impressive.

I love the quality of the bass, clarity and nice scene.

Just the cable, an iem of this level doesn't deserve this kind of cable, even if it's modular.

Every time I read impressions like this I come closer of buying a pair for myself.
Are you going to do a review/comparison of this one?
