Aurum arrives: Craft Ears enter phase two of their growth not just content to experiment with hybrids, but tri-brids too. An exciting W-shaped flagship emerges with electrostatic high frequency drivers entering the fray, flanking four balanced armatures all propped up by one large 10mm dynamic driver. W-shaped or evenly represented in the bass, mids and treble, depending on how you want to look at it. But what's not for debate is it wouldn't be Craft Ears to just count out drivers. Jedrek Nowicki releases Aurum as far greater than the sum of its parts through handy acoustic tools first seen in Craft Six. Ear Fidelity hails this flagship "one of the best CIEMs on the market at this price range". It became Everyday Listening's "personal benchmark around its asking price and will likely remain so for some time to come". [See Product Desc. For More] Aurum's dual electrostatic drivers show up in Space Expansion System (SES™) 2.0. A precisely calculated, computer modelled horn structure placed at the output to act as an acoustic amplifier sees the SPL from notoriously insensitive Sonions boosted naturally by the enclosure. SES™ 2.0 naturally bypasses any distortion caused by overly taxing the electrostatic units for more volume. Aurum presents Singapore with an electrostatic treble that promises both quantity, and quality.  Excitement about the high frequencies shouldn't distract audiophiles from Aurum's low ones, though. The polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) dynamic driver acts as a subwoofer with impressive presence in the sub-bass region.  PEN is a material ZMF Headphones bring to bear in their flagship Vérité since it "has more dynamic response than a metal". Aurum's single low driver does the work of many balanced armatures and uses PEN's excellent damping to its advantage, rising cleanly up without modal distortion to meet its mid-range drivers in a perfect hand-off that's clean and coherent.  Seven drivers are brought together by a crossover that works as a resistive load, maintaining a flatter impedance throughout the frequency range for a consistent response with more sources, whether mobile phone or high output impedance music player. It's never just about the drivers, but rather Craft Ears' careful optimisation once again to provide the platform for their tools to perform – brought beautifully together in a flagship such as Aurum. ***Listed price covers basic colours.

Craft Ears packed six drivers into Craft Six, but that's only half of what went into a technology-laden flagship from these Polish innovators.  Geared into a well-tuned V-shape with a wide bandwidth and tasteful, never overcooked, emphasis in the bass and treble, Craft Six promises to keep you excited for a very, very long time. Those craving energy and life at the frequency extremes will be served well by Craft Six's proprietary technologies. [See Product Desc. For More] RASEN Bass™ (Reference Acoustic Spiral Enhanced Bass) is a patent-pending solution – precisely calculated and designed 3D printed structure – that creates low-end notes as realistic as a true subwoofer. Meanwhile, SES™ (Space Expanse System) is Craft Ears' very own field-specific, 3D printed, horn-loaded tweeter tuned in a very particular bandwidth. Bringing to the field unique inventions to continue the development of the venerable balanced armature, Craft Six is the beginning, and the end, of your search for a TOTL IEM. Headfonics praise the company for "ensuring the BA drivers are not overly pushed and peaky to deliver that natural and very balanced sounding tone", Twister6 checking off the "clarity, resolution, realism" requirements for a flagship. The Headphone List reserves mention for Craft Six's dynamic-like power, and Ear Fidelity, its speed and clinical approach. Headfonia round out the accolades with a Recommended Buy award, recognition for Craft Six "getting the very most out of its drivers with a technically strong performance and a smooth musical tuning". ***Listed price covers basic colours.

The sweetest take on what four drivers can sound like. Craft Four is the model that shot Craft Ears to fame, with its delicacy, detail and a very emotive mid-range. Lovers of the guitars and male or female voices will not get over this performance in a hurry. Craft Four lands at a perfect sweet spot, the Goldilocks of all IEMs that just sounds right whatever your mood or genre fix at current moment. Its four balanced armatures are celebrated around Head-Fi for a W-shaped portrayal with equal, energetic, emphasis of each key region. [See Product Desc. For More] Headfonia rates it a "terrific first CIEM", with earphonia adding its "rich low-end" and "intimate staging with solid musicality" was worthy of mention. It competes very well for less money to Headfonics, thanks to "a refined and sibilant free vocal delivery, with articulate percussion". The Headphone List concurs "Craft Four represents outstanding value and is best suited for those wanting a balanced, musical earphone with smooth, prominent vocals and airy highs". ***Listed price covers basic colours.

Built in silver, Craft Ears hint at the sense of sparkle found in Argentum. The second of the Polish brand's hybrid line-up, this dynamic and dual balanced armature release hits hard and takes charge in the bass and treble. Argentum will certainly grab your attention with its V-shaped presentation. Building on Craft Four's work but tuning down the mid-bass presence gives rise to imaging potential, with instrument placement precise in an open soundstage. [See Product Desc. For More] Bass is always fast with a 10mm carbon fibre driver that's designed to match the pistonic power of a stiffer material but with improved self-damping for a cleaner and smoother, quality low-end. This three-driver masterpiece inherits the horn-loaded tweeter of its Craft Six sibling too, matching the zeal present in the bass. A flat impedance crossover means Argentum will keep you excited no matter what source you plug into, dropping the beat that'll keep you going all day. ***Listed price covers basic colours.

A new flagship future for Craft Ears. Jedrek Nowicki took the battle against distortion in Ominium and replaced bandwidth-limited balanced armatures where ever he could. That leads us to his first tube-less, planar-magnetic, seven-driver tri-brid.  Ear Fidelity give Omnium a standing ovation. Everyday Listening "commend Craft Ears on their creation which deserves my highest recommendation for those valuing all-around transparency". Craft Ears' "implementation of the planar driver in the Omnium is as good as it gets" says Headfonia. "Omnium clearly belongs at the high-end IEM table ... a performance rich in detail, neutral in tone, and delightfully immersive in its presentation", said Headfonics. At the heart of the Ominium experience lies a planar-magnetic driver, representing the culmination of Craft Ears' relentless efforts. RDU dual-supertweeters from Knowles also feature. This tri-brid masterpiece comprises a 10mm planar driver for the mids, flanked by a dynamic driver and five balanced armatures. Complying with modern definitions of neutral, Ominium not only impresses with its technical prowess but also its remarkable naturalness of timbre thanks to its low distortion levels. [See Product Desc. For More] The standout feature is undoubtedly its midrange, where the planar driver shines by delivering exceptional resolution and emotional engagement. Exceptionally spacious, the black canvas Omnium puts forth is matched by a deep sub-bass authority and highs that never grow fatiguing. Craft Ears has truly harnessed the power of their drivers to render each frequency range with exceptional realism and precision, to make Ominium's 10mm planar-magnetic mid-range driver the star of the show. Despite its large surface area, Craft Ears' planar unit remains under the precise control of its magnetic array, resulting in instantaneous and effortless transient responses. This is made possible by the planar driver's resistance to modal break-up, and its thin vibrating surface requires minimal excursion to move copious amounts of air. Omnium's planar promises a unique combination of presence and articulation that balanced armature counterparts struggle to achieve. As planar-magnetic drivers gain prominence in multi-driver setups, Craft Ears has made a significant contribution, defining a new era for its flagships. Ominium's strengths are not just attributed to its planar driver but the result of a harmonious ensemble. A robust 9.2mm dynamic driver takes care of the lows, capitalising on the technology's excellent excursion capabilities particularly with its liquid-silicone rubber surround. Capable of great pistonic motion, this driver is ideal for producing long bass waves that descend in frequency and reverberate giving Ominium's lower registers great presence. In the upper frequency range, five balanced armatures take over as the planar mid driver becomes directional and tapers off. These specialised tweeters exhibit minimal distortion, enabling Craft Ears to maintain their signature clean, airy, and refined treble performance in their latest creation. Aurum, equipped with five balanced armatures, incorporates the Space Expansion System (SES™) 3.0, featuring a precisely calculated and computer-modeled horn structure at the output. That only makes its four modern Knowles supertweeters – in dual RDU BA format – yet more potent. SES™ 3.0 acts as an acoustic amplifier, naturally boosting the balanced armatures' sound pressure level without subjecting them to distortion. Nowicki's acoustic innovations evolved another step to incorporate a tube-less design and 3D-printed chassis introduce minimal artifacts, ensuring playback that's true to the recording. Additionally, Craft Ears integrated specialised waveguides to optimise sound delivery, further enhancing the Ominium experience. This work in the time domain for the perfect arrival of frequencies at your ear would mean nothing without Craft Ears' most advanced crossover yet.  Nowicki's six-way crossover is able to incorporate shallow, low-order transitions in the bass and mids – no doubt aided by the wide bandwidth attributed to Omnium's dynamic and planar drivers – for far more accurate phase-response. Seven drivers are brought together by a crossover that works as a resistive load, maintaining a flatter impedance throughout the frequency range for a consistent response with more sources, whether mobile phone or high output impedance music player. Naturally, Omnium will sound best via a dedicated source. So look no further than Questyle Audio's M12i and M15i plus Cayin Audio's RU7 dongles and iBasso Audio's DC Elite, before taking that up to discrete amplifier music players like HiBy Music's R6 III and R6 Pro II. For those wanting to move beyond mere proficiency and instead be held spellbound by their music, the other flagships from Craft Ears await here. Otherwise, browse the rest of our IEMs here.
