What's unique about the brand

FlipEars, the first Filipino company to manufacture both universal and custom in-ear monitors domestically, was founded by singer-songwriter Aries Sales. The brand features distinctive jewelry-grade faceplates, hand-painted with enamel by jewelers from Bulacan. They're known for proprietary technologies including their EarQuake bone conduction driver, SPARK Electret Tweeter (a self-powered electret high-frequency driver), and their SoniXwoofer twin 10mm dynamic bass system.

What reviewers are saying

We read all the reviews. Here's what reviewers feel most strongly about:

  • FlipEars emphasizes providing "insight into music that only a musician can offer," tailoring their IEMs for both professional musicians and audiophiles.
  • A signature feature across several models is the inclusion of dip switches on the IEM shells, allowing users to adjust the sound signature for different listening preferences.

Our favorite reviewer quotes:

  • "There is tons of movement to the Legion, presenting spatial dynamics that are incredibly immersive and holographic. Instrument layering is very graceful, communicating sound elements that appear on top of others while still offering the same level of precision." (https://majorhifi.com/flipears-legion-review)
