@piotrus-g What are some of the cables that you think is the best pairing for the F7 (I love forward vocals and dynamics)? My Lionheart recently broke :(

@jackyzhu the F7 is very natural sounding -- I wouldn't say that it is bright per say even though there is a hint of brightness (absolutely no sibilance nor does it sound piercing) in the notes in the midrange. There is absolutely no veil so the sound is opened. The extent of brightness, I would...

Interested in hearing both of them!

Thank you :) The Black is also on my radar -- if my custom F7 comes back and the fit is perfect I might just order a pair of black to use as daily driver.

Iphone X :) one of the perks of FIBAE is you can just play it from your phone and the sound is still really good!

Yes, I do totally agree that technicality-wise, the F7 is better than the F3 (And I prefer the sound signature as well). I skipped the F4 but I think you have combined the good things from the models I own — my favorite sound signature yet! I will give it more time before sharing my thoughts on it.

After having the F7 for 3 hr (and non-stop listening) I would say, at least to me, that the F7 is like F3 on steroids. The overall character is similar -- forward vocals and upper mids, extended but non-fatiguing highs. However, the difference I noticed is that the center-mid, in comparison to...

:)

Here we go. Does anyone observe any differences in SQ between custom and universal? Imm on the verge of pulling the trigger now.

I'm sure it will be worth the wait! :)

Was on the hypetrain for the F4 but then stumbled upon the interview with a new flagship mentioned. Decided to skip on the F4 and wait for the new flagship -- if they can make the FIBAE lineup this good already, I'm super curious as to what they can bring to the table with the new flagship.

I might have been lucky as I have shipped to Custom Art 3 times and I never really have to pay import taxes. The package went through custom just fine. However, when you ship to Custom Art, please ensure that you specify what's in the package. I put 'electronics' once and the package got stuck...

Hi @crinacle -- I read, a couple pages back (well more like 60 pages back), that you listed the Inear SD5 as one of those IEMs with really good vocals. Also I saw your comment on reddit about the Canalworks U77 and how the midrange is the star of the IEM. How would you compare the two in terms...

Hows the fit of universal FIBAE2? Does going from custom to universal affects the sound? My customs don't really fit well either (the L and R 'tightness' are not the same) even after 2 refits. What is the cost for turning customs (that are way past refit warranty period) into universals? Sorry...

HYPED! Been looking into the Solaris but that fact that its a universal-only kinda bums me out. Been a big fan of CustomArt sound signature: Owing both F2 and F3, I really do like the tuning (especially the spatial cues of the F2) but I still do wish the resolution could be much higher. Hope...

WOW! Thank you for your detailed response! Really leaning toward the Phantom now since my playlist in comprised mostly of pop/rock tracks. Tough decision!
