New custom IEM company - Custom Art: discussion, review, and impressions thread

The Ei 3 bass is very well done

Finally took the plunge and bought my first CIEM's. 

 The CIEM I bought was Shini44's Anzu 3. Must say I'm very excited to get them remolded and to hear how they sound. Been doing research for almost a year now trying to find the right CIEM for me. It's a jungle out there. Hopefully they match my ideal sound. Now, to the design. choices, choices...

Congratz mate. I haven't heard Anzu but from what I see, Peter does very nice job on creating custom tuned unique ciems. If the sound signatur will suit you, I am sure you gonna like the whole ciem cuz resolution level must be high.

Quite a weird choice for a first CIEM. Not that it is not going to be an amazing CIEM, but starting with a custom project is definetly an interesting move.

and i am Going Anzu V2 again, because now i have WA7 + WA7tp with Mullard cv4003 and RCA Clear Top

the Anzu V2 will do perfect with it ^^   oh the V2 is U shaped sound sig, which is my favorite XD  
 
V3 had like more mids which didn't fit with my favorite amp WA7tp, so i had to go back to V2  


the new owner will be happy with it, and wont need to buy a new CIEM for a decade lol, it does super on DAPs and Solid State amps, i tested it on a friend's Pico Power amp.

I can agree with you on that. It could be a gamble since there are no reviews on them and they are tuned to one person's sound ideal. But with Shini44's enthusiasm and Peter's excellent skills it should be a very good sounding CIEM. And if it comes to the point that my ears dont agree with Shini44's ears, then I think that can be solved by master Peter at Custom Art.

Hey guys,
 
Looking forward to buy a second hand Custom Art c/iem? Peter and his team created a spreadsheet with all available items at the moment.
 
The document will be bumped and updated from now on so you can check whenever you want. Also if you want to buy or sell any second hand c/iem, you can shoot an email or PM to Peter.
 
Here is the link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SKb5az0asJBXAmAv0FruGM-I_485QJTABiaIbFYJjek/edit#gid=0
 
I personally think this is a great idea and very helpful to customers like us.

Yup saw that on facebook.  Was slightly tempted by your's but figured that if my ears were too small for the h8 series they would have been too small for yours as well.  Thinking about selling on my m1's and step up to either the m2's or e3.  Decisions Decisions.

I used to have Music One and it is definitely the best value in custom world period. I have currently Ei.3 with me, if you have questions, I will do my best to help you. Though keep in mind that I didn't spend huge amount of time with Ei.3.
 
I haven't heard the Music Two but I am sure others can be helpful.

Thank's.  It'll probably be the two as I prefer silicone for longer wear time.  Main reason I'm thinking of selling the One is that it doesn't have quite enough bass extension for the sort of rock that I listen to.
 
Cheers.

Ei.3 has 2 things that are close to perfect considering the price range. One, bass quality, impact and rumble. Two, tonality. These 2 are very well done while the rest of the spectrum is above average easily. If it is only about the bass impact, maybe Ei.3 might be a good idea.
 
Also, it is interesting but both my H8 and Ei.3 were made after the same ear impressions but my acrylic Ei.3 fits better and more comfortable. If I would say H8 fits very good, Ei.3 must be perfect. While being new in this acrylic ciem business, I think Peter knows what he is doing.

That's cool bud. 
 
So, which one has better isolation? H8 I think?

After quite a short wait (that felt like eternity to my soul), my Music Ones are finally on their way to me! 
 
Hopefully I'll get them by tomorrow, and I'll get some pictures of the unboxing. As if there weren't enough of those already.

Silicone still goes a long way compared to the acrylic but, if the fit is not a problem, there is no "huge" difference in terms of isolation.
 
Also the length of the canal section plays an important role too.

Sure you'll like them.  Myself I've decided to go for the music two's for now as an upgrade so will be putting up my one's for sale shortly.
