Exceptional high-end sound.

The iBasso Epitome is one of iBasso's most ambitious reference-level in-ear monitors, truly elevating the brand into the world of premium in-ear monitors. The manufacturer has not skimped on technology: the earphones contain a total of 20 drivers – 8 Sonion electrostatic (EST), 10 Sonion BA and 2 Knowles BA drivers, which work in harmony through a carefully designed multi-channel transducer. The goal is clear: crystal clear, detailed, yet natural sound.

The multi-driver system confidently covers the entire frequency range:

The result is a wide and airy soundstage in which every minute instrumental detail is precisely defined. Whether you're listening to classical music, electronic music or acoustic recordings, Epitome reveals all the layers of the music with exceptional precision - you're guaranteed to hear details that were previously hidden. The housing of the in-ear monitor is made of medical-grade, hand-cast resin for maximum comfort and sound clarity, and the included cable is a high-quality, audiophile-grade design.
The iBasso Epitome is more than just a pair of headphones – it's an ultra-high-end listening experience designed for the most demanding music fans and audiophiles.
