The PENON official thread

I hear a definite difference, but honestly I can't say I experience any "vibrations" with BC on. It's just as if it were a different tuning, but no physical sensation that I can detect. I've tried using smaller tips and really jammed the Fan3 into my ears to make as much contact as possible, but still nothing.

Try this. This is how i accidentally discover the physical effect of the BC btw.
Play some youtube video with some voices on, mine is some videos of Crinacle (i know i know, but like i said, "accidentally").
Hold 1 side of the iem with your thumb and index finger. Play that video while turning the switch on and off. You'll feel the BC sensation through the shell, that buzzing feeling. It's subtle though, but it's there. The effect of the BC is in the 300-800hz range, it's not in the bass range so the vibrating sensation is harder to feel.
Since i know the effect is real, i'm actively looking for it. How i would describe the sensation is that some vocals has additional vibration, gravitas and dimension to their voice, purely from it being contact and vibrate in the ears. Imagine listen to a really deep voice and you can feel their rumbly voice through the air of your lungs (i only met 1 person irl who has this type of voice. Goosebumps lol), now it's that but it vibrates your outer ear as well, not just your eardrums.
I usually use M size ear tips. My ear tips of choice are MS size Divinus Wide Bore tips, S size Dunu S&Sm, S size Fiio HS18, S size EPZ short bore tips (not their latest M100) or some Whizzer SS20 tips. Those are what i use to ensure maximum contact.

I only own a few "Boners", so I don't know if there are some IEMs out there that give you haptic feedback. But from my experience and the adverts that I see on the merits of getting boned, the goal is to get the sound waves to interact with the inner ear. Any [edit] felt, physical vibration could be seen as a possible irritant and probably a disruption to how the eardrum translates sound waves.

This is my first set of BC IEMs and aside from placing them on a resonant surface (or obviously listening to them while BC is engaged) I can't discern any physical vibration by touch.

Having something rattling in my ears is going to get lame pretty quickly.

Without additional assistance I don't know how I'd go about switching BC on and off while still in my ears as described earlier.

It's challenging enough to operate the switches when I'm holding the Fan 3s right in front of my nose!

Too rich for my blood. Probably not for me even on the secondary market.

I wonder if anyone has adjusted the screws to see what happens?

Yeah me as well. I know there’s already been debate on this but surely they must understand that surely won’t sell many pricing it as they are. My main issue is always with re-sell value (I lost a ton on my Impact).

Same reason I’m hesitant on buying the TSMR Halo (which I adore!) as I know I’ll struggle to sell it if I need to later down the line.

I can't imagine you'd have many people interested in paying thousands of dollars for used IEMs unless you're already friends. Without a warranty, that's a huge risk. If I had the money to spend thousands on IEMs, then I'm likely a lot less price sensitive and I'd rather buy new, anyway.

As long as they keep making other earphones like Voltage and cheaper. No need to be another one of the many brands that basically produce earphones that cost thousands.
Voltage is about $3K cheaper and missing the bone conduction drivers. Considering, seems like a better buy for those who, like me, don’t want to spend that kind of money.

OK why is it Pennon just makes outstanding items? Seems they knock it out of the park every time.

I sit here listening to Them on my R4 with my serial's and I swear its like I'm in the front row of the concert banging my head until I fracture a vertebrae.

I also own the SA6 mk ii. And yes I know the BA bass can not touch a good DD. But I also own the Dunu Falcon Pro (blue). The Pennon Fan 2 also just fn kicks.. Pennon have so voodoo Dr working there???

Thanks for your time

I am digging on this new orange box. Makes the Rival stand out. Nice touch.

If anyone's interested, I listed the PENON VOLTAGE for sale. The full package includes the ASOS+ cable.
