Penon done it again and again and again, it truely seem they just can't release bad IEM, but this doesn't mean all of them offer same sound benefit return, in that regard the Globe isn't the most competitive even if far from plain underwhelming. This will favor tone and timbre density over it's texture or presence brightness, this mean that as a whole the Globe is warmed. The Globe is all about musicality, lush warm and wide open one, near basshead one too, which will make run away stone cold audiophile purist that only swear on high fidelity restitution to the cost of listening to a cryogenic soul less musicality. Similar to CS819, the Ares S stage doesn’t necessarily feel much larger yet somehow instruments seem like they have more room to breathe. I do prefer the CS819 pair up which has slightly better dynamics and less bottom end emphasis, delivering a more even sonic balance.

Penon Audio, one of the well-known audio retailer based on Hong Kong, also known as retailer that brings “unknown” brand to international market.Blessing using DD but almost the same as BA sound, it has weak impact but still better than BA, it's fast The pinpoint placement of elements seemed to even be more accurately positioned due to a single BA driver maybe? Thus a realism and clarity found, being the method-of-operation was simpler and more direct. I'm actually surprised at just how big this single driver sounds? Any off-timbre (and believe me I know) seems to be minimized? There was some obviously, but the more I listened the more it seemed to vanish? Penon house sound does not tune for neutrality nore on the other spectrum, bombastic sounding earphones. If that is the type of sound you're looking for, then it will be advisable to look elsewhere. However for the enthusiast that actually listens to their music vs analyzing parts of it. This is what Penon achieves with their house tuning a certain type of musicality to the point where there is a connection to the music you're listening to. The Globe represents yet another earphone that is a prime example of their tuning philosophy. Sound that is always presented with a spacious dynamism, fluid richness in tone with cohesion, well balanced and always dimensional.

The sound is bigger in the Globes, but the comparative simplicity of the ORBs creates a cleaner feel that makes the sound appear crisper, clearer, even more open. The lower density also contributes to a more volatile, even more separated sound in the ORBs. Bass has a rich boldness and is well defined when called upon. Here the bass end is very similar to the Orbs and even somewhat close to their Volts. The quality of the bass end is superb using this 10mm dynamic driver. Punchy and tight with decent speed but it is the detailed rich tone of the bass that is a hallmark of Penon bass. These things have a realistic rumble and a deep low hitting sub bass that no BA can match. Bass decay is very natural and lingers a touch and here is where the sub bass tonality is ideal. With the right tip, you can get the bass to be more frontal in balancing or lesser for how you like your bass. Tip rolling is highly recommended for best results for you. The Globe is a continuation of their Orbs all resin design but this time it is housing an extra Knowles BA that does the treble duties. Just based on tonality the mids BA seems to be the same Sonion BA that was used for the Orbs and the dynamic while no mention of what it is as there is no mention of the type of dynamic I will also assume it is using the same dynamic driver as used in the Orb and the Volts, a graphite fiber silk paper dome 10mm driver. I did get confirmation that the Globe is using the same two drivers that are in the Orbs.In the upper range the competition is a little more even, but what the TriFi cannot do, at this stage, is reach the level of the Globe. Time does not pass in vain and it shows, neither the resolution, nor the definition, nor the technical ability is similar. The result is a much more realistic brightness, despite the overall softness of the Penon.
