Reviewer Score
Neutral tuning with one of the clearest mid-ranges. Natural and clean vocals. Great resolution, separation, and detail. Can be a little dry with its analytical presentation. Bass is well-seperated from other instruments, but nothing special especially at $1K. Would've liked more depth, and treble is also a bit unstable and dips, resulting in a lack of air/depth. Mid-bass is just enough for my library, but would've liked more for genres like hiphop and rock. Cable is heavy, and fit may be too big for many (need to shove in deep). Jays Audio Youtube Channel

Outstanding tuning. Smooth, balanced tuning with natural vocals, beautiful timbre, and excellent tonality. Detail and could use more bass. Treble depends on ear tips.Gizaudio Axel original ranking

Organic midrange Wooly bass response and less prominent treble may not work best for certain genres

Reviewer Score
Good treble with tons of air. Forward, ethereal mids. Good detail retrieval with tons of microdetails. Lackluster mid-bass.

11/10 mid-range. Mid-bass could use more texture and stage depth could be better. Yap, that's all. Oh and the fit - I'm blessed, but you may not be.

A solid improvement in imaging with slightly more palatable tonality than its predecessor. Precogvision Youtube Channel

A step down in techs from U12T (possibly a half step down from U6T). But very well tuned and adds in a dynamic driver punch. Timbre is slightly improved compared to U12T due to the increase in midbass and upper mids energy. On the second hand market, 64Audio IEMs are among the best values in portable audio, the U4S is no exception. Previously Owned

Reviewer Score
A tastefully colored U12t with a more intimate soundstage, a cutback in technicalities, and more bass realism.

It's a solid set, with great build quality, but sonically isn't the specialist that I want it to be. Jaytiss Youtube Channel

Fantastic colored tonality with options, and the unique technical qualities to back it up. M12/M15 modules recommended. Precogvision Youtube Channel
