64 Audio Volur

Jaytiss: 64 Audio's finest.
Tim Tuned: Warm, bass focused high end IEM with spectacular bass quality, smooth treble and strong technical performance but limited versatility for female vocal centric music. Shines most with rock, metal and... Spectacular dynamic bass, smooth nuanced treble and end game level detail retrieval that make rock, metal and jazz sound exciting and immersive. Female vocals are recessed and less lively, treble air can run hot for some, and overall value is questionable when U4s offers similar performance at a much lower price.
Super* Review: If you are a lover of bass, this is a good option. Does not sacrify the rest of the sound signature
Smirk Audio: Well-textured, satisfying bass. Vocal timbre is slightly off. Upper-treble peak can get a little hot. Cons: Unnatural vocal timbre.
Fresh Reviews: Great IEM but massive price
Z-Reviews: The 64 Audio Volür shows up as a $2,500 showpiece: a 10-driver monster with dual dynamic woofers and a pile of balanced armatures, wrapped in a shell that actually looks as expensive as the...
Head-Fi.org: 3 community members have rated the 64 Audio Volur at an average of 4.7/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Exceptional.

64 Audio Tia Trio

Crin: A more correct sounding version of the Fourte with slight cutbacks in staging and sheer resolution.
Precogvision: Rich bass and out-of-head imaging.
Super* Review: The tia Trio comes across as a hybrid with personality: rich, thick, and warm, with slightly forward treble that adds air without tipping into the harsher edge heard on the U18t. Vocals are ...
Smirk Audio: Rich bass with a mid-bass emphasis. Treble has a few peaks that can get spicy. Cons: Harsh treble peak.
Nymz: Best bass texture ever. Gorgeous treble extension, stage and imaging. Coherency and timbre a bit off. Upper mids/lower treble could be better. As amazing as it is, I couldn't fully connect with it...
Audionotions: Phenomenal bass texture and quality. Mids are good if not great - I don't have much to nitpick about them - good note weight and excellent clarity. Treble is very sparkly and airy though some may...

64 Audio U12T

Jays Audio: 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.
Crin: Amazing bass (for a BA), top-tier resolution and detail-oriented signature.
Jaytiss: Just Smooth and nice, great all arounder with smooth technicals, but too boring.
Precogvision: Terrific dynamic range and soundstage depth; the closest I have heard to a two-channel system in an IEM for these qualities.
Tim Tuned: Extremely versatile signature, great bass and details Potentially too safe tuning wise
Super* Review: The 64 Audio U12t lands exactly where its reputation suggests: a warm , laid-back , yet highly detailed all-rounder that stays engaging without ever turning fatiguing . With the apex M15 ...
Smirk Audio: Good resolution and dynamics with great imaging. Smooth, slightly recessed upper-mids with an upper treble peak.
Web Search: 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...
Shuwa-T: Comment: Really clean sounding monitor with excellent technical aspects. Bass texture, superb clarity Can sound too sterile
Nymz: As good as it gets. Great tuning and techs. Best set I've heard to date. Closest thing to speakers. Love it.
Audionotions: 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...
Head-Fi.org: One community member has rated the 64 Audio U12T at an average of 3.0/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Mixed to Positive.
Yifang: Unique Melody MEST MKII brings a distinctive recipe: a DD + 4BA + 2EST array augmented by a full-range bone-conduction driver, translating to a relaxed yet vividly holographic presentation....

Campire Audio Clara Ti

Campire Audio Clara Ti

Precogvision: Most normal sounding Campfire IEM yet. Neutral with sub-bass boost, very pleasant on the ears but missing some mid-treble for resolution/edge.
Smirk Audio: Muscular bass with large bass notes. Male vocal timbre slightly odd, female vocals are nice. Some vocal grain present. Decent overall techs. Cons: Buy the non-Ti version for $1k less.
Web Search: Campfire Audio Clara Ti is the Titanium Launch Edition of Clara—limited to 50 units—with a 3D-printed titanium shell and an included 8-wire 4.4 mm cable; it retains the same sonic profile as the...

64 Audio U4S

Jaytiss: It's a solid set, with great build quality, but sonically isn't the specialist that I want it to be.
Precogvision: Fantastic colored tonality with options, and the unique technical qualities to back it up. M12/M15 modules recommended.
Super* Review: 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...
Smirk Audio: A tastefully colored U12t with a more intimate soundstage, a cutback in technicalities, and more bass realism.
Audionotions: 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...

Super* Review: Super* Review rated 64 Audio U6T with a score of 9.0/10 without adding a comment.

FlipEars Legion

Jays Audio: Fun and bassy, v-shape, great low-end slam and texture, full, rumbly, solid tech imaging, and cool faceplate... but price is a bit high.
Jaytiss: What this does well, it does very well. Fun set.
Smirk Audio: Smirk Audio rated FlipEars Legion with a score of 7.5/10 without adding a comment.
Web Search: The FlipEars Legion makes a commanding entrance with its striking Roman legionnaire-inspired design, featuring jewelry-cast rose-plated brass faceplates hand-painted by master artisans in Bulacan,...
Head-Fi.org: 9 community members have rated the FlipEars Legion at an average of 4.6/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
Audio Amigo: Bass-focused Bone Conduction done properly! Rumbles and Buzzes in your ears with no annoying buzz or tonal issues. Not the best technical performer, but absolutely GORGEOUS Shells.
Paul Wasabii: Fun, bass-forward WV tuning with surgical treble control and standout 3D imaging; hard-hitting yet clean at volume. Pricey but executed with uncommon finesse. Powerful, fast mid-bass with excellent 3D imaging/layering and controlled, non-fatiguing treble. Lower mids can feel a bit thick and the bass-forward balance plus the premium price will not suit neutrality seekers.

Sennheiser IE900

Crin: Well-resolving DD IEM with excellent treble control, though with somewhat weak mid-high harmonics.
Jaytiss: I don't get it, not even a little.
Precogvision: Excelllent bass - simply excellent. Midrange could use some work, as could the generally average imaging chops.

Sennheiser IE600

Jays Audio: Tons of detail and amazing clarity. Stage is smaller than most IEMs at/below its price tag but very well defined details and imaging within that space. Bass is detailed, but amount is not as much as...
Gizaudio Axel: Fun, V-shaped tuning. Fantastic bass (both quality and quantity), great V-shaped tuning, excellent detail, and precise imaging. Treble is too much, could use more vocal focus.
Crin: Well-tuned mids, powerful yet controlled sub-bass, with highly extended (and somewhat spicy) treble.
Jaytiss: Lots of upper trebble.
Precogvision: Well-extended on both ends of the spectrum and adds back in the upper-midrange the IE900 lacked.
Tim Tuned: Sennheiser IE600 hits with a confidently V-shaped signature: powerful yet tidy bass that thumps with dynamic-driver slam, a flat, clean lower midrange, and lively upper mids that make vocals and... Very well rouned fun subbass focus sound Treble might be too much
Super* Review: $700 buys a compact, 3D-printed metal single-DD that looks mature and fits like a glove. The IE 600 arrives with two cables ( 3.5mm and 4.4mm ) that are thin and comfy but a bit microphonic ...
Shuwa-T: Comment: Stock eartips are a disgrace. Superb clarity with good tuning and bass response Treble is on the energetic side
Nymz: The most technical DD I've heard. Tuning is not perfect for my library - V-Shape. Get's a rec for those that really enjoy a well done V DD. Could use more stage size and bass impact. Fit is not the...
Audionotions: Engaging sound signature with authoritative bass and very good treble. Mids are no slouch either. Can be spicy for some, but for what it's worth, I have no issues with the treble. Pretty impressive,...

Head-Fi.org: 2 community members have rated the FLIPEARS Aegis at an average of 4.5/5 on Head-Fi. Overall sentiment: Outstanding.
Paul Wasabii: Bass-forward with relaxed treble; engaging weight but lacks sparkle and snap. Better value exists either cheaper in this signature or by stepping up to Legion. Premium build and cable with a massive low-end presence reinforced by bone conduction. Treble is too relaxed and transients feel soft, reducing excitement and undermining value at this price.
