Unboxing/Presentation/Accessories
To show off all the items you get with the FIBAE4 earphone.
We have created an earphonia.com Custom Art FIBAE4 earphone unboxing video below:
As you can see the earphones are well protected in a black solid pelican case. The earphonia.com team were pleased to see this excellent level of shipping protection and it is our preferred choice for transit.
The supplied cable is a right angled 3.5mm single ended silver style cable with standard 0.78 mm 2 PIN IEM connections. The cable fits very tightly, has an elegant style and holds the shells securely in place.
Build quailty is solid and smooth, without imperfections and the nozzles have a ridge to assist with tips fitting. It would have been nice to see the addition of spinfit and comply tips.
There were no microphonics experienced and the cable has a quality feel to it. The cable has a single ended L plug jack that is flush and secure on all DAPs we tried.
Memory wire is also included for shapping around the ears and to create a more personal firm fit, especially for on the go activities. A nice addition is the presence of a circular chin slider.
The shells are beautifully crafted as can be seen in the video below
As you can see Custom Art have a high level of artistry and magestic design styles for their earphones. The team are very creative and flexible, they are happy to work with you on specific requests as can be seen with these shell design choice I selected.
You can see the awesome composition and intricate depth of colours in the Custom Art design. These shells look even more impressive in person.
Manufacturer information:
FIBAE 4 utilizes the world’s first, patent pending Flat Impedance design. Featuring unique combination of 4 Top-Firing Balanced Armature Drivers – Single Low, Single Full-range, Single proprietary High and Single proprietary Super High. FIBAE 4 delivers powerful, mainstream sound signature with one-of-a-kind soundstage presentation and micro details.
FIBAE 4 comes as natural continuation of Custom Art’s lineup, merging qualities of FIBAE 2 and 3 into unique sounding IEM. Top Firing Drivers provide improved frequency extension compared to traditional Balanced Armature drivers with a spout resulting in immensely detailed sound.
We tuned FIBAE 4 to be fun sounding IEM with warm and smooth signature. It offers excellent sub-bass depth and punch, detailed and natural midrange finished with extremely detailed, but never harsh highs. It combines big headroom, high resolution and expansive sound stage. FIBAE 4 is a perfect tool for guitarists, bassists and drummers for stage monitoring.
