Designed for those who demand nothing short of top-quality audio in their IEMs, the iBasso Epitome are professional IEMs ideal for audiophiles and musicians. They provide a stunning 20 drivers—eight electrostatic and 12 balanced armature—per side. Combined with an innovative 5-way passive crossover system, these IEMs offer crystal-clear audio reproduction.

The detachable 5N mono-crystal copper cable features a 2-pin earpiece connector and a modular audio source plug system that allows you to easily attach the included 4.4mm TRRRS balanced, 3.5mm TRS, or USB-C plugs freely depending on your needs. The 3D-printed resin shell is durable and comfortable, with an around-ear cable routing design, and features a beautiful metallic finish that seems to shift and move across the surface of the shell with the lighting. The flat frequency response curve ensures neutrality and realism for professional monitoring applications. The Epitome includes the detachable copper cable with modular plug support, a unique silver-alloy detachable cable with a fixed 4.4mm TRRRS plug, a carrying case, 4.4mm, 3.5mm, and USB-C plugs, various sizes and styles of eartips, and an eartip cleaner.

Epitome of Music and Art

Using a top-tier combination of 20 drivers and 5-way passive crossover, the Epitome perfectly combines the ethereal quality of electrostatic drivers with the precision of balanced armature drivers. Melodies are beautiful and naturally present with a realistic soundscape.

Stylish Shell

The 3D printed, hypoallergenic resin shell is artfully crafted with a metallic finish that seemingly drifts across the surface, resembling a starry night sky. As the light and shadow shift, the surface radiates a dazzling, star-like luster complementing the auditory experience.

Premium Circuitry

Epitome utilizes through-hole resistors and other premium components to build a complex five-way crossover system, thus ensuring that signals from different frequency bands are accurately transmitted. The transitions between each frequency range are smooth, resulting in a seamless and unified sound. Whether reproducing the intricate layers of classical music or the delicate vocal emotions of singers, it delivers a precise and natural field of sound.

8 Electrostatic and 12 Balanced Armature Drivers per Side

Four dual electrostatic drivers (8 in total) are responsible for the frequency range of 10 to 20 kHz.
Sonion electrostatic drivers enhance the auditory perception by imparting a greater sense of airiness and spatial openness to the soundscape.
One dual high-frequency balanced armature (BA) driver is dedicated to the 6 to 12 kHz range.
Knowles' high-frequency BA drivers are responsible for the transition between high and ultrahigh frequencies, ensuring a natural crossover of the ultrahighs.
Two Sonion dual mid-high frequency BA drivers are responsible for the 3 to 6 kHz range
Sonion mid-high BA drivers control the transition between high and mid frequencies, ensuring clear and powerful instrument separation and presentation.
Two Sonion dual mid-high frequency BA drivers are responsible for the 400 Hz to 3 kHz range
These drivers focus on mid-range vocals, ensuring vocals are rich and emotionally expressive
Sonion dual low-frequency BA drivers control the 20 to 400 Hz range, ensuring bass is dynamic and controlled

2-Pin Detachable Cable and Modular Plug System

Epitome utilizes 0.78-2-pin earpiece plugs, compatible with all cables of the same interface. It comes with a 5N mono-crystal copper Litz structure cable and features a replaceable plug system. Standard connectors include 4.4mm, 3.5mm, and USB-C, which provide exceptional sound whether single ended, balanced, or directly plugged into a smartphone.

A New Alloy Cable

Before the launch of Epitome, a new alloy was created that consists of a special silver-plated wire developed in conjunction with a partnered conductor laboratory, which offers excellent sound performance. Since it has not undergone full durability testing, iBasso decided to offer it as a complimentary gift along with the standard cable.
