Background and Identification<\/h2><\/div>\n\n

The Project\u00a0Meta is CrinEar's debut IEM, announced and released<\/a> in March 2025. As a Project-series IEM, the product had an initial limited production run of 500\u00a0units, which was extended to 999 units.<\/p>\n\n

The Project\u00a0Meta takes its name from the "new meta", referring to the IEF (In-Ear Fidelity) Preference 2025, which served as a basis for the model's tuning, with measurements taken on the B&K Type 5128 ear simulator. The Project Meta follow a tilted Diffuse Field response with a sub-bass boost that balances precision with a euphonic presentation, and have a relaxed treble. The Project Meta's tuning is achieved through analog components, without DSP.<\/p>\n\n

The IEMs have a compact CNC-machined aluminum shell with an ergonomic shape and 5.8 mm nozzles. The Project Meta uses 2-pin connectors.<\/p>\n\n
