Fender has just released their new $500 FXA7 in-ear monitors that blur the line between professional and consumer grade IEMs because of its unexpected high quality sound produced from such tiny speakers.
IEMs are favored over the traditional earphones and sometimes headphones because they are better at isolating noise outside. The Fender FXA7 does more than that.
The IEMs from the guitar and amplifier manufacturer have been hand-assembled one by one. They are made up of titanium housings to stand the everyday use and minimize the wear and tear.
Fender FXA7 IEMs can be used by working musicians looing to replace their traditional amplified stage monitors, TechCrunch reported. They would sound better and louder since they are already fitted perfectly inside their ears.
Music composers and sound designers can also use the IEMs to hear their compositions with more clarity. Imperfections will be heard better and adjustments can then be made accordingly.
Even Foley artists would benefit from using the Fender FXA7. They would need to hear if the leaves' crunch or the footsteps in the sand are perfect for the sound stage they are building on either a video game or a film.
Audiophiles would also love the new IEMs from Fender. The bass is delivered more accurately compared to other monitors because of the hybrid armature used inside, Gizmodo reported.
The Fender FXA7 is made possible through the work of Aurisonics, which has been acquired by the company in 2015. Their experience in helping people make sound plus the acquisition's expertise in helping people hear sound better led to the high quality IEMs from Fender today.
Users can hear notes in songs that cannot be heard on normal earphones or headphones. They may also hear the vibration of the strings or the hammers of the piano keys that would otherwise be rendered mute in traditional IEMs.
The $500 Fender FXA7 is made to fix roughly 90 percent of every ear shape possible. It runs through a memory wire that can be folded with ease above the ear itself to lock the IEM in place without being loose despite the user's movement.
