mayonaka_00Soundryme is also released by Penon, they are really good too.
BassDad8The bass on the Fan 3 is about quality, not quantity. And it is far from being lean. I’m a reformed basshead and it still has plenty for me.
calpisSame issue but solved it with sancai tips. I'm usually a medium size but since the Fan3 is a deep fit they get sancai smalls
gimmyjoePenon Fan 3 was goated, one of the best midrange I've heard in terms of musicality/enjoyment. Maybe less correct sounding than Tanchjim but it's a nice colouration.
lilgensi literally have my fan 3s in right now ! one of my favorites for sure, especially at 50% off
LouGossetJrI like my headphones more than my IEMs. But that's just me. I eq all of them. My Edition XS and Focal Hadenys have just as much detail as my IEMs, but sound way more spacious because they are bigger and open back. For IEMs I use Flipears Aegis, Hidizs mk12 and previously had Hype 4 and Penon Fan 3's.
Majutsu--shiThey are definitely worth it and get the PEQ from Ducbloke for the Fan 3 then you will hear their full potential
MarktspotThe Penon Fan 3, It's the only BC IEM I've heard that I didn't like the tuning of. The bass is way too lean for my taste.
