Nice
The FIBAE 7 and FIBAE 6 just launched in Korea - maybe that 6 is the same as the ME? The driver configuration seems to be the same.

Curious, I was under the impression that CA couldn't sell the me model on their own site with the agreement with drop? Mind you if there is one thing that I've learned on headfi it's more to do with the tuning than the driver count anyway. Any idea on what the price would translate into euros ?
Thanks

So the employees at the store say that the FIBAE6 is a retuned FIBAE ME. My guess is that they started with the same drivers (2 sub-low, 1 low, 1 mid-high, 2 super-high) and played around with the sound a bit?
MSRP is 1,490,000KRW, which is roughly 1100 Euros. To put that into context though, the FIBAE7/Harmony 8.2 are ~1475 Euros each, and FIBAE1/2/3/4/Black is ~450/675/750/950/600 respectively. (The store also has a blanket 10% membership discount, which applies to the universal versions.)

The Custom Art website does have a currency selector, check it out.
Not sure where you got those prices @BananaOoyoo since the FIBAE7 is at 1100€ not 1475€ Just like the Harmony 8.2, what do you mean by « put that into context » and what are the bumped prices you mention then?

@davidcotton asked me what the local price for the FIBAE6 was. I provided the prices for their entire lineup here, because the FIBAE6 price in isolation would make it seem like Custom Art priced it the same as the FIBAE7 and Harmony 8.2.
I'm aware that the official MSRP is 1100 Euros for the FIBAE7 and Harmony 8.2 - the point was just to show that the local (Korean) prices are bumped up a bit.

FIBAE 6 ? I do not find them on their website.

I think they’re talking about FIBAE ME which was a massdrop exclusive (ME for Massdrop Edition)
Ok, thank you.

I'm talking about this FIBAE6 (http://www.schezade.co.kr/goods/g_detail.html?gid=3945), which isn't on Custom Art's website. It looks to have the same driver setup as the FIBAE ME, but who knows if they actually sound alike.
I'll probably make the trip over to try it soon, but I unfortunately don't have any experience with the ME.
From the ME discussion thread on Massdrop:
This would mean their is no further arrangement/agreement with Massdrop/Drop regarding the ME. Don’t know if CustomArt will offer it on their website, but I would think that leaves them free to sell it elsewhere (?)

Could be. I imagine that Custom Art will add it to their site at some point (don't really see the point of a Korean exclusive), and while there was the allure of a 6BA FIBAE ME when they only otherwise had the FIBAE1/2/3, I'm guessing that it won't be as enticing with the release of the FIBAE7.

I’d wonder if that thing is genuine...

The FIBAE 6? Schezade is an official Custom Art distributor, so if it's not... then that'd be some major scandal there.
I can't say whether this is the same IEM as the FIBAE ME, but I'd be willing to bet that it's genuine.

Ok got it, didn’t know that...
