"Mefisto," the second opus from Forté Ears, draws inspiration from C. Gounod's Faust and A. Boito's Mefistofele. In these operas, Mefisto's commanding voice symbolizes both temptation and enchantment. This IEM captures that essence, delivering a sound that is both seductive and mesmerizing.
At its core is an in-house developed nano-diaphragm planar tweeter, "Aria." This specially designed and meticulously tuned driver boasts high efficiency and exceptional fidelity, enriching the whole overtone series with an irresistibly alluring timbre. Complementing it are customized dual 7.8mm Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) dynamic drivers, housed within our Diabolic Isolation System (D.I.S.), a Forté Ears exclusive structural design crafted to maximize bass energy output with unmatched precision and efficiency.
Specially sourced out-of-print Japanese inductor coils, paired with the newly refined Forte Circuitry Relay System (F.C.R.), further enhance sub-bass performance, delivering even greater precision and visceral impact. Meanwhile, the Acoustic Resonance Chamber (A.R.C.) and a pure silver faceplate ensure remarkable clarity and depth

The Mefisto Tour De Force Package also includes an exclusive "Mefistofele" Vinyl Collectible Figurine, a special collaboration with Neufcats, one of Singapore's most celebrated independent toy art studios.

The Mefistofele Project came to life when Riccardo from Forté Ears discovered Ael's work and was captivated by its quirky, offbeat charm. Their shared passion for storytelling led to the creation of the Mefisto Neufcat, a fusion of two creative worlds—where opera meets rebellion, and sound
