Custom Art

Customer Art is a Polsih manufacturer that specializes in IEM-headphones (In-Ear-Monitors). Their motto is to try to deliver headphones that have a very attractive price-performance ratio.

They have a special tech called FIBAE - stands for Flat Impedance Balanced Armature Earphone - a revolutionising IEM-design enabling "flat impedance curve" and phase. This solves one of the oldest problems in the hifi-industry – the dependency bwteen the source and the headphone's impedance for correct audio output.

All their IEM:s can be ordered "custom made", i.e. they are built/molded using an mold of the user's own ear canals. 
Contact me if you are interested in ordering such an IEM and I will guide you through the process. 

Their IEM:s are tuned in different ways. Below is a quick guide that shows the character of each headphone. 

• Go One: all monitoring tasks – general monitor
• FIBAE 3×3: vocals, keys, strings, sound-engineering – studio sound
• FIBAE 4: vocals, guitars, drums, bass – concert feel
• FIBAE 6: drums, bass, low guitars, DJ
• FIBAE 7: all monitoring tasks – reference sound

"Custom Art was founded in May 2012 in Warsaw by Piotr Granicki, a long-time reviewer of portable audio equipment, Head-Fi member, and DIYer. The natural step forward for him was to create his own series of earphones.

The company’s foremost philosophy is to deliver the best products possible at the most affordable pricing and delivering this kind of quality requires Custom Art to be excellent at service and sound.

As one of the few companies in the world offering custom in-ear monitors in silicone instead of regular acrylic, Custom Art takes advantage of silicone and its soft comfort to allow monitors to be worn for longer periods.

Currently, the company’s product portfolio includes several different CIEMs, ranging from the affordable single-driver Music One (€200) to the flagship Harmony 8.2 (€1100). The first generation of Harmony 8 released in 2014 set a technical benchmark as the world’s first eight-driver silicone in-ear monitor. Renowned audio reviewers have praised Custom Art’s products and have given out top scores to them for their quality-to-price ratio.

Custom Art continues to expand and hone its excellence in new areas. In 2015, the company entered the acrylic CIEM market with the Ei.3, the world’s first 3-way, 3-driver CIEM priced below $300. In August 2015 Custom Art introduced FIBAE technology. The name stands for Flat Impedance Balanced Armature Earphone and is world’s first, revolutionary IEM design providing flat impedance and phase, which solves one of the oldest problem in the audio industry – dependence on output impedance of sound source for correct earphone output. IEMs equipped with FIBAE technology will always perform best from any audio source. First two models (single driver FIBAE 1 and dual-driver FIBAE 2) were released in April 2017."
