Amazing separation and presentation, amazing bass that extends down low and hits pretty authoritavely (not just in the context of BA sets - very good quantity and quality). Pretty interesting tuning with dialed down upper mids so certain instruments and voices seem more in front of you. Pretty clear sense of center image. Previously Owned

Terrific dynamic range and soundstage depth; the closest I have heard to a two-channel system in an IEM for these qualities.

TOTL tech. Mid-scoop can affect mids/vocal texture and placement, recessed midrange, treble is harsh at high volumes. Great bass detail, but could have more impact.

The 64 Audio U12t is a mature flagship-class UIEM built around twelve balanced armatures per side and the company’s tia (open-BA) and apex pressure-relief tech; it lists at $1,999. Module options (mX/m15/m20) vary isolation from roughly −10 to −20 dB, giving modest control over perceived balance without changing the core tuning. The driver split—1 tia high, 1 high-mid, 6 mid, 4 low—aims for coherence via a 4-way crossover in a compact, aluminum shell.

Tonally the U12t trends neutral with a sub-bass lift, yielding clean mids and controlled, generally safe treble; frequency-response databases show the gentle low-end emphasis with even mids. Swapping apex modules can nudge the balance (e.g., M20 a bit more bass, M15 a touch airier) without altering the U12t’s fundamental character. Technical performance remains the calling card: resolution, imaging, layering, and BA-bass quality are repeatedly praised at the top of the class.

Trade-offs are mostly about preference and price: treble can read polite with minor quirks depending on chain and tips, and midrange body is slightly lean versus warmer sets. Given the premium MSRP, overall value hinges on prioritizing top-tier technicalities and long-session comfort via apex.
