I have no idea tbh. Head-fi has many reviews on Penon products, including those from people who have purchased the IEMs themselves, without getting discounts or whatever perks from Penon.
There are healthy discussion threads on Yinyan Aladdin, Canon, and ISN H40, H50, over on Head-fi, and I doubt every poster there is somehow affiliated with Penon.
I didnt say theyâre shillers, I wast just saying im wary of penon audio shillers, as in people who shill their stuff. Im only wary of them because the penon orb got a ton of hype when they first came out, a lot of ppl were shilling the orb and h40. I got both, h40 was decent, orb was terrible (for their price) and is worth nowhere near their cost.
Ah, now I get it⊠Still, quite unfortunate their wares didnât live up to your expectations. Do you still have them or theyâve been already sold?
It might have been covered already, but for the love of me I cannot understand why Crinâs and BGGARs graphs (and subsequently, rankings) are so different. Especially in the mid to treble range.
Coupler/unit variation. On crinâs you gotta look the compensated one (the lower, grey one).
Donât overthink it 
pull the trigger

I still have them. Penon as a store is fine, just didnât like my penon orbs so Iâm wary of any penon branded iems

They are not that different if you see the non compensated one, the one on the bottom, with the grey line. It is quite similar to the BGGARâs one.
The upper one is compensated with his target, so it shows just the deviations from that target.
Just got me teas in today from linsoul. I was initially impressed but after a couple of minutes they sound very hot to me if you know what I mean.
But what really killed it is the right one buzzes around a certain freq range around vocals. Such a big disappointment as it was The biggest iem/headphone purchase to date. Is this a common problem?

What source are you running them through? Have you tried switching the cable around to see if itâs the cable or not? I thought my driver was messed up and I got a weird sound to mine but come to find out it was just a fitment issue I had and itâs solved but Iâm not that experienced in it but to cut that so called warm sound your getting definitely tip roll with the Teas. If none of that work contact linsoul they will work with you really well.
Seems Teas FR changed forever. Not a QC problem, as expected, but a revision. Sound and FR make this obvious. Teas are anything but hot or shouty as people on the last months reported. Guess Teas are back to the box and canât be recced.
Sorry to hear you got a bad set 
Yeah, thatâs not normal. Iâd contact seller.

If Tea are screaming, I donât know how to call B2, O2, etc. ⊠Probably a hardware problem. It is also possible that they have a changed frequency response. Sad! I will not buy them again.

@nymz has anyone tried reaching out to them about the change on FR and asked why it was changed and whatâs up with everything. I know we talk a decent amount about things but I know I ran into some issues with mine but I seem to got mine worked out for the most part. Mine donât sound shouty but I have had mine for 4 months now or so I might of got lucky. 
with all that being said if I did get the revision would really love to hear the old tea even if it never goes back to what it once was. Just shocked they would change something that wasnât broke 
. Itâs an unfortunate thing but I guess thatâs what happens in this hobby with everything changing almost on a daily basis.
Yes. No answer.
Linsoul said they fixed QC on drivers, but Iâm assuming the FR changes are just a revision

Ran through the topping A90. Tried a different cable. Tried with amazing seal from the bullet tips to no seal with no tips. Tried with bad audio sources and nice FLACs. Same sound signature, same buzzing.
I also got a response back stating willing to do an exchange but the QC issues have been resolved so assume it is the new tuning

Horror. Nothing to do with what I was thinking. Itâs even worse!

That is disappointing. Mine would come hopefully this week also from Linsoul (AliExpress). Luckily it seems like at least I skipped the extra VAT out of everything.
I would let you know my initial impression, but now I am a little sceptical. That is also my most major audio purchase of the year and whole life even up til this point, so hopes were really high (not to say how SCEPTICAL my wife was hearing I buy 300$ IEMâŠ)
