Okay, after around 10 weeks of waiting I have received yesterday a package with Fibae4. I have switched to it from Fibae2 (leaving Fibae3 in my stack), and it was really good decision. The upgrade is so significant that I can’t believe that I can have that many goosebumps with the music that I listened to so many times.
Though I am not a professional headphones reviewer I will be happy to share some first thoughts that I have after around 4-5 hours of using Fibae4.
To begin with – this is not a CIEM to listen to when working/studying. Yesterday I had to learn some new stuff for my work and (while listening to the music) I had to re-read most of the sentences a few times (even being on the low volume), because the sound just immerses you the way it’s pointless to try to focus on anything else. Imagine yourself trying to learn / work, while being at the same on the concert (or in the discotheque) – this is the feeling that I had yesterday
After coming up with the choice that it’s either music or work, I decided to go with the music and went on with the setup – Fibae4, Mojo Chord, Tidal, and my armchair. I listened to my favorites songs from Massive Attack, Royksopp, Gorillaz and few others and that was a beautiful experience. The quality of sound is top notch. Though I am not a native english speaker, it’s much more easier to hear the vocals, because these are much more separated and so clear.
For the few hours I can say that this was a great choice. The only problem that I noticed is with (I guess) not-that-well-mastered songs, which are mostly focused on mids, and don’t have much to show with bass and trebles – in that case the sound is a bit too far, too flat and doesn’t show what F4 can do.
Other than that, I think F4 is unbelievably well tuned. When I listen to the music, I am really grateful for being able to experience these feelings
Great job, Piotrus!
I don’t know what else you can give us with the TOTL model, but I am happy that I haven’t waited for it and decided to jump on the Fibae4 train. I hope, I will be able to write something more, for now I don’t have many more words to describe the enjoyment that I have
