{"title":"FORTÉ EARS","description":"\u003cp\u003eFORTÉ EARS is a premium earphone brand from Singapore. Its founder, Riccardo Yeh, is not only an engineer but also a musicologist and a player of the guqin, a traditional Chinese stringed instrument. Having honed his skills in the audio industry for many years, he was serving as the International Sales Director at HIFIMAN, a global audio manufacturer, when he was inspired by CEO Fang's planar magnetic technology and acoustic aesthetics. He played a part in the development of products such as the HE1000 and Susvara. \u003cbr\u003eAt CanJam NYC and CanJam Singapore in 2024, he exhibited \"Romeo,\" a prototype flagship model that embodies his passion for musical artistry. Its overwhelming perfection earned it recognition and significant attention, ultimately leading to the establishment of his own brand, Forté Ears. \u003cbr\u003eThe \"Forté\" in the brand name is derived from the powerful, beautifully resonant voices in opera and the expression of grand orchestras, symbolizing the brand's belief in delivering an unparalleled immersive acoustic experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFORTÉ EARS' product development is founded on Riccardo's deep love for Western opera and nearly two decades of accumulated acoustic technology and expertise in the audio field. Each product features proprietary driver development by skilled engineers, precisely tuned crossover circuits, and innovative housing designs that cleverly utilize faceplate resonance. The brand focuses not just on creating technically superior IEMs, but on developing artistic and inspiring IEMs that leave a lasting impression on the user. Each model draws inspiration from the songs of renowned composers like Mahler and Schubert, the impressions and personalities of characters from opera, ballet, and other performing arts, and the stories behind them, symbolizing the product design and tuning direction. This approach creates products with unique visual and acoustic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, Riccardo's representative design philosophy views the excessive, inappropriate installation of drivers as detrimental. By ensuring that each driver optimally fulfills its intended role, he prevents impedance increases and performance degradation. Through precise tuning and perfect coordination between drivers, his products meticulously reproduce the delicate emotional expressions found in opera and theatrical music, aiming to faithfully convey the essential emotions and feelings of the music intended by the performers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTherefore, under strict quality control, rare materials and components sourced from around the world are researched, and the final assembly, inspection, and packaging are carried out at the company's headquarters in Singapore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFORTÉ EARS' unwavering mission is to create unique products that go beyond mere audio equipment, offering memorable experiences by combining outstanding technology with a profound understanding of the artistry of music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"macbeth","title":"MACBETH","description":"\u003ch4\u003eMACBETH is the flagship model from Singaporean audio brand Forté Ears, pushing the boundaries of in-ear monitor audio engineering.\u003cbr\u003eIt combines 11 carefully selected drivers across three types, including the proprietary acoustic technology \"ARC,\" the proprietary circuit \"FCR,\" and the dedicated ultra-low frequency driver \"Diablo,\" with rare vintage components to deliver the dramatic and emotional resonance of music.\u003cbr\u003eThe packaging, design, and sound tuning embody a world that evokes the dramatic stage beauty and deep shadows of Verdi's \"Macbeth,\" where conspiracies and twists of fate intertwined around the throne, all crafted with meticulous craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【Product Specifications】\u003cbr\u003eDriver Configuration: Balanced Armature Driver ×5, Bone Conduction Driver ×2, Electrostatic Driver ×4\u003cbr\u003eFrequency Response: 10Hz ～ 45kHz\u003cbr\u003eSensitivity: 104.2dB @1kHz\u003cbr\u003eImpedance: 7.3Ω @1kHz\u003cbr\u003e【Accessories】\u003cbr\u003eOriginal leather case\u003cbr\u003eOriginal cloth\u003cbr\u003eOriginal owner plate with serial number\u003cbr\u003eEletech custom cable\u003cbr\u003eEletech Baroque ear tips (S\/M\/L\/XL included)\u003cbr\u003e*If you wish to pre-order, please select \"Pre Order.\"\u003cbr\u003e(Estimated 2-5 weeks, depending on manufacturer stock)\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"Forté Ears","offers":[{"title":"MACBETH","offer_id":43379703611491,"sku":"","price":691900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false},{"title":"予約注文","offer_id":43379703644259,"sku":"","price":691900.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/0074\/0707\/files\/1_f22ca4de-0422-4708-b37c-c6e74e07edd8.png?v=1764046019"},{"product_id":"mefisto","title":"MEFISTO","description":"\u003ch4\u003eMEFISTO: Bold tonal balance, dramatic elegance\u003cbr\u003eThe second premium IEM, MEFISTO, was created by Forté Ears, drawing inspiration from the world of temptation and euphoria found in the straightforward yet alluring vocals of C.
