Hi
@slowpickr, welcome to the
@Dsnuts dedicated Penon thread.
Further to your query regarding Basshead level in ears without so much compromise in the Mids & trebles
pls. allow me to introduce you to the Penon range
1.
The Fans - entry level, Basshead capable in ear. for maximum Bass, i'd use Penon's very own Orange stem tips. This is commuter tested to block out subway / street noise
2.
The Orbs - this pair is the Middle of the range mid priced in ear. This pair has better Bass response compared to the Fans. To complement that addictive sub-bass, we got lush full bodied mids and smooth trebles. This pair is more of full sized headphone scale of imaging than your typical in ears
3.
The Globes - this pair is approaching flagship level for it fantastic tuning. Same Penon house sound for sub-bass, mids are a little on the neutral side compared to the Orbs. Trebles here are extended and overall details are better here, so is the energy / level of engagement.
As shown in the link image, the Penon Orange stem tips, this is their own silicon composition, will bring your ears to the sub-bass level joy, you might be aspiring.
Penon spoiled me with those sub-bass texture, dispersion, rumble (the Orbs in particular)
All 3 have very wide bodied staging, very good stage height, all of them out of head experience and the Globes have the best stage depth of the three.
Most importantly, all (3) meets your price range, usd. 339 for the Globes...
