no, just the F3, but it looks like the all the Fibae models respond very well to different cables.
As you said, honestly the F2 shocked me how well they responded. In all of the IEMs I have/had it is one of the first where the difference was so compelling and distinct amongst the cables

Yess, with the Encore and SE5U a different cable could increase details, soundstage, bass but was small touch here and there, a cable would never impact the sound signature of the iems, while with the Fibae a cable can dramatically change the sound signature.
It can be good if you pair with the right cable(s), but I'm afraid that you could get the opposite, a cable that doesn't highlight the features of this earphone and the result is a flat, non-engaging iem.

I am sure it doesn't pair well with everything. As I said before, I said I haven't seen many it didn't pair well with. Oh you have IEMs now, did you finally make up your mind or do you mean loaners?
Didn't mean it like that. I meant that I expected Ares II and Lionheart to work well because they were warm and smooth, but the synergy wasn't the same as with my Ei.3.

It is really interesting to play around with cable synergy. Less pronounced than playing around with different IEMs, but fun to see how various types of music are affected.

Piotr I wanted to let you know that today I was listening to Randy Rhoads and Mr. Crowley on the F2 and I officially had goosebumps, as a matter of fact I think my goosebumps had goosebumps.

This little gems are just what i hoped for...the perfect allrounder to me. Never the less i am tempted to sidekick with a vocal specialist.

People with FIBAE 3 listen to this:

Sounds awesome, what do you think?

i never understood why people point to youtube clips for critical istening

i can only listen to youtube as a strictly informative way to educate myself about how a song sounds , melody -wise

youtube clips are like 128kbps quality....you need good quality files to hear/apppreciate the nuances of a song

cheers

If nothing else you could do what I do, find the track in Tidal or Spotify
