Penon Archangel Reviews
Penon Archangel reviewed by: Drew / Audionotions
Missed opportunity to name this the Fallen Angel - this is no angelic set - it's an unabashed guilty pleasure set that actually is pretty versatile. Mild V shaped IEM which many hobbyists will pass on because it's not "neutral" but hear me out - the mild V is incredibly well done and makes this set incredibly fun to listen to - so much so that neutrality will be an afterthought. Bass extends deep and hits hard - rumbles with authority. Mids are still quite nice with good emphasis on vocals. Treble is very airy and sparkly. Stage is very wide and deep with excellent layering. Tuning switches that actualy work - the first increases the bass shelf, the second bumps up the treble response. Bought on a whim, and very glad I did - because otherwise, most sets I've heard recently have been some variant of JM1. This is a reminder that following a single target response curve is not the only way to make a phenomenal IEM. Basshead approved set that would still appeal to most. Personal Unit
