German headphone company, InEar, contacted us to tell us about their new IEM, the ProPhile-8. They said of their new product: ‘To achieve a studio reference tuning across the whole frequency range, we have equipped our InEar ProPhile-8 with a 4-way crossover and 8 balanced armature drivers per side. Additionally, there are two switches on the inside of the earphone to separately boost low frequencies by +3dB and high frequencies starting at 8 kHz by +2dB. Based on a linear reference tuning for professional mixing and mastering, you can choose one of totally four different sound signatures to adjust to your audiophile preferences outside of the studio. You will rediscover your music thanks to easy natural reproduction of music in highest resolution, uncovering of subtle details, breathtaking transparency, huge sound-stage and perfect imaging!’.

The matte housing of the ProPhile-8 is based on InEar’s “StageDiver” series,and they use a cerumen filter to prevent earwax of entering the earphone. Blocked filters can easily be replaced by yourself in just a few steps. Included in the box is the ProPhile-8 earphone, 4 pairs of silicone ear tips (sizes XS, S, M and L), 3 pairs of Comply TS400 foam tips (sizes S, M and L), gold-plated 1/4” adapter, 3 cleaning cloths, InEar hard case IE13 and cerumen filter set H3.
