I don't know too much about the tips, etc. I appreciate the common one, black and green size M, that comes with all Penon. Those are the ones that fit me well, and I have not tried any others. I will get and try the newer ones once I purchase another IEM, course from my favorite brand...P e n o n
Ugh, my eq is only 10 bands! I want to try this!So I've been messing around with some EQ's lately for the Quattro's. Although they sound great with their stock tuning, I wanted to make a few adjustments and try to push the technical chops of these quality drivers. And with some help of AutoEQ and some of my own personal touches, I came up with this and just had to share!I know its a lot of adjustments (24-band PEQ) but I would be lying to you if I said ALL of them didnt play a crucial part in dialing into these and making them sound completely and utterly fantastic. Ive been making EQ's for all my headphones for quite some time now, but I feel like this is the one Im most proud of. It essentially transforms the Quattro's. Try to utilize all 24 bands if you can. If you have something like the Qudelix 5K, then you're gonna have to sacrifice 4 of these - so Id probably just get rid of the ones that make the least adjustments and highest Q values. I have this EQ on all the time and its hard going back to stock tuning. Give it a shot. You wont be disappointed! Enjoy!

It tunes the quattro to a more harman-ish siguature with less lower mids and a bass tuck with more subbass and a touch more upper mids and a lot more lower treble and presence (my only gripe).
Yes this is true. I based it off of a Harman-like target. I do prefer a lot more treble (maybe more than normal), but I feel like the Quattro does it very well. And the beauty of EQ is that you can change it to your liking. As someone stated earlier, this is purely my preference.
The Penon 10th Anniversary may do exactly what you want. It is almost a Fan 2 with added EST drivers......liquid treble.
I agree; the 10th is a more "relaxed" Fan 2. Quattro has a different sound signature. Check the forum for impressions.
Interesting, I’ve not heard the 10th as being more relaxed than the Fan2. In what way? Anybody else hear the two that way?
I had a similar issue. Sent in my fan 2 for repair (shipping cost is outrageous) but they resolved the issue!
I don't have the 10th either. Of the ones I have, I would say that the one most similar to the tuning of the Fan2, which is the most neutral that Penon has ever made, is the Impact (of course, at another level). The 10th, from what I understand, despite having partly the same components, is a more V-shaped profile. The Quattro is another flavor, but it can be a very good complement to the Fan2.
Thank you - the Fan2 and 10th sound relative to each other to me the way they graph, with the 10th being much more lively / V shaped.I don't have the 10th either. Of the ones I have, I would say that the one most similar to the tuning of the Fan2, which is the most neutral that Penon has ever made, is the Impact (of course, at another level).

Our colleague @ToneDeafMonk has, or has had them all!
I wonder if the observations some (including me) have about the Quattro lacking treble is simply due to the mids and bass being so prominent.I don't have the 10th either.

I'm quite agree.
