iBasso Exemplar

The iBasso Exemplar is a high-end hybrid in-ear monitor that combines no fewer than ten drivers per side, utilizing four different driver technologies. By bringing together dynamic, balanced armature, planar magnetic, and bone conduction drivers in an advanced five-way design, the Exemplar delivers a detailed and spacious soundstage with powerful bass, natural vocals, and refined high frequencies. The unique 3D-printed housing, high-quality cable, and interchangeable connectors also make the Exemplar a versatile in-ear monitor for both home and on-the-go use.

Ten drivers featuring four different technologies

The Exemplar features, on each side, a specially developed 10mm dynamic driver for the bass, four balanced armature drivers for the midrange, and two balanced armatures for the treble. Two micro-planar magnetic drivers handle the highest frequencies above 12kHz and contribute to an open soundstage with great detail and precise instrument placement.

The five-way configuration ensures that each driver can focus on the frequency range in which it performs best. This results in a balanced sound with good separation between instruments, natural vocals, and a spacious presentation.

Bone conduction for a bass response you can feel

In addition to the traditional drivers, the Exemplar uses a 10mm brass bone conduction driver. This transmits low frequencies not only through the air but also via subtle mechanical vibrations. This gives drums and bass instruments extra physical impact, without the need to artificially boost the bass.

3D-printed housing with a unique finish

The Exemplar’s housing is precision 3D-printed, ensuring that each driver is optimally positioned and the internal acoustic chambers are carefully tuned to one another. The striking chameleon finish changes color depending on the light and viewing angle, similar to the finish of the iBasso Epitome.

Weighing just 8.3 grams per side, the Exemplar also remains comfortable during longer listening sessions.

High-quality cable with interchangeable connectors

The included cable consists of 88 ultra-fine 0.04mm copper conductors and uses standard 0.78mm 2-pin connectors. This allows the cable to be easily replaced or upgraded.

Thanks to its three interchangeable connectors, the Exemplar is compatible with a wide range of audio sources. In addition to a standard 3.5mm and balanced 4.4mm connector, a USB-C connector with a built-in CX31993 DAC is included. This allows the Exemplar to be connected digitally directly to compatible smartphones, tablets, and computers without the need for a separate DAC.

Comes fully equipped

The iBasso Exemplar comes with a wide selection of ear tips, including twelve pairs of silicone tips and two pairs of foam tips. This allows you to adjust the fit and seal to your personal preference. A sturdy carrying case protects the in-ear monitors and accessories during transport.

With its unique driver configuration, high-quality build, and versatile connectivity options, the iBasso Exemplar is a complete in-ear monitor for music lovers who value detail, dynamics, and a natural soundstage.
