Interesting are the variations at the low end but overall, any of these graphs gives one a good idea. And yes, while the graphs are not perfect, the earphones suck sonically.Lets hope the best!
Also, I hope they ditch the shiny "plating" and do "brushed" or matte dark-silver looks.
Don`t know about calibration accuracy but that graph looks pretty "same" as KPE.
Here`s another one but "peaks" are located little differently:
With KPE, those peaks are little more shifted to right and roll-off in highs starts later, with smaller dip, to my eyes.
Anyway, graphs of N3 look quite promising but reading the reviews - different story.
And when you reduce that 5 kHz peak, the bass may come out more...not in measured magnitude but perceived. Good or bad, I don't know.
Here is the graph that Jim send me, on first glance the difference is not big but if you look at the scale you will see that the lower treble area (peaking at around 4.8khz) is reduced by around 5db, from 1.5khz to 5khz is a lot more linear (still has boost though), the side effect of that is removing a big chunk of energy in the upper treble (centered at around 15khz).
I told him try to lower that peak at 11khz, he said ok, after that he wrote that his engineer was able to remove that peak but the end result was not good (i assume that the damping applied took out a lot of the FR before and after that peak) so he decided to leave the 11khz untouched for that reason.
Now i am not sure if he will make a new version of that earphone or not (our communication is not ideal) but as far as i know the last thing he told me was that it will use better treble tuning in the future models from the same line of hybrids.
If he make a new version of the F3 with that tuning it will be with different name (i told him to change the name so the people will know what kind of tuned earphone they will get) like mk2 or V2, something like that. We will see.
EDIT - look at the driver matching under 3khz, amazing
I also like the N3. I especially like it with the Zishan Z3. The balance is just better with that player. I think it’s the slightly higher output that pushes the piezo (could be talking out my a**) but the **** is also a monster out of that (the player not my a**).
Hey that first graph posted by Riz99 is actually mineLets hope the best!

I have posted it also somewhere in here few months ago. Measurements taken with 8k resonance peak according to crin’s technique. Really enjoying both N3 and **** at the moment.
