FiiO FP3 TC USB-C Planar In-Ear Monitors
Overview
The FiiO FP3 TC is a planar in-ear monitor with a USB-C cable that has its own DSP decoding chip built in. It uses the same 14.5mm planar driver as the FP3 but plugs straight into a phone, tablet, or computer, so you get high-resolution planar sound with no separate DAC or dongle.
The cable's DSP chip decodes lossless audio up to 384kHz/24-bit and works driver-free with Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. FiiO wires it as a true balanced output, using separate L+, L-, R+, and R- signal paths for better channel separation and less crosstalk, with a signal-to-noise ratio above 122dB and a noise floor below 0.8μV. An in-line microphone and control module lets you take calls without unplugging. Through the FiiO Control app you can set an 8-band parametric EQ, save curves to the device, and on Android, share curves or download ones other users have made.
The earpieces match the FP3: a second-generation 14.5mm planar driver with a 1μm aluminum and titanium dual-coated diaphragm, 14 N52 magnets, and FiiO's patented F.T.B.S. Tesla valve bass structure. A 3D-printed, UV-coated front shell and solid wood faceplate keep each earpiece to about 6.5g, and the FP3 TC is Hi-Res Audio certified by JAS and CEA.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
The FP3 TC is the easier choice if you mainly listen from a phone or laptop and don't want to carry a dongle. Plug it into any USB-C port that supports digital audio and it does the decoding itself. If you like to fine-tune, the 8-band PEQ in FiiO Control is worth a look, and saving your curve to the device means it follows the earphones from one phone or computer to the next. Note that cloud curve sharing is Android-only for now.

8-Band PEQ
Adjust frequency, gain, and Q in the FiiO Control app.
In-Line Mic and Controls
Switch between music and calls without unplugging.
14.5mm Planar Driver
Same 2nd-gen driver and 1μm diaphragm as the FP3.

Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Phone-First Listener: Wants planar sound from a USB-C phone with no extra dongle.
- The EQ Tinkerer: Wants an 8-band PEQ saved right to the earphones.
- The Multi-Device User: Moves between a phone, tablet, and laptop through the day.
How It Compares
The FP3 TC and FP3 share the same planar driver and shell. The FP3 uses a standard 3.5mm cable for any DAC, player, or amp, while the FP3 TC builds the DAC into a USB-C cable and adds true balanced output, an in-line mic, and app-based PEQ.
