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

The 64 Audio U4s hits a compelling sweet spot: a 1DD+3BA hybrid around $1,100 that echoes the lush, bass-tilted character of the Nio while fixing key drawbacks. Packaging and accessories feel improved, with multiple tip options and the included M12 APEX module; APEX not only tailors bass but also relieves pressure for long sessions. Fit follows 64 Audio’s comfortable triangular shell; the vented DD asks for a slightly shallower insert than the all-BA models. Sonically, expect a sub-bass-oriented shelf and a treble profile that’s more lively and “zingy” than the Nio, with extra energy around the upper treble. The big caveat is 64 Audio’s muted 2–4 kHz region, which can set soprano vocals a step back on the stage.

Against the brand’s full-BA staples (think U12t/U6t), the U4s trades some pinpoint imaging and coherency for unmistakable DD slam and tactile “air pushing.” Extension at both ends is excellent, with upper-treble energy that makes micro-detail and reverb trails pop. It’s not the clean, conventional neutrality of something like a Monarch-style tuning; rather, it’s a deliberate, colored signature that delivers fun plus technical chops. Crucially, it fills a missing niche at its price and, in many respects, outperforms the pricier Nio, making the U4s a standout recommendation for listeners who want bass authority, sparkle, and engaging dynamics without going all-in on the flagship tier.

Audionotions 8.5 Reviewer Score
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.

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