Speaking of the u18, is there anyone who owns/has previously owned u18t and a18t? Would like to know if there are significant differences in sounding.
I only own the A18T custom. I have had them for many years now, they sound amazing will not part from them for nothing. It’s a reference sound, you pretty much hear everything as it was recorded, mixed, and mastered. There’s no color sound. You get to hear everything in quality from the bass, to mids, to highs and everything in between. I use them daily with an iPhone, but with sp2000 they are on another level, everything opens up, wider and broader sound, and intimate as well since they are iems. Like I said I have had my custom pair of A18T since they were released and have tried many other pairs of iems from ee odin to fir, but I always go back to my A18T love them. If I could I would I let you try them out 😁, if you have any questions please don’t hesitate, happy holidays!!

anybody using the Correir brass tips with a 64 audio IEM? I love them but they won't stay on the IEM enough and come out in my ear. I tried plumber's tape but that doesn't work. Any tips for these tips?
I attached a slim oring to the nozzle and it helps with silicone tips. Coreir is weird due to the core and won't stay. I don't really know what is the standard eartip 64audio aimed for since Spiral Dots don't stay put either.

You need a narrow-bore tip to work best with 64 universals. Final E work best for me with U6t, they only very occasionally get left behind in my earholes. I think some of the Spinfits may work alright, although for me I don’t get as good a seal with those.

I gave up on Azla, Spiral Dot etc pretty quickly, as I don’t want to have to use tweezers every single time I use the IEMs.

I have gone back and forth in my mind whether the U18T/A18T is adding extra treble colouration or is spot on. All subject to perception, music file mastering, source device pairing etc, etc. That is not to mean that is "bad" or "wrong" even if the answer is yes - and the U18S/A18S exists to cater for all bases :sunglasses:

I am waiting for 64 to sell me an IPX cable in 4.4mm termination that is not part of a limited run collaboration and I know 64 will see this post :stuck_out_tongue:

While other cable manufacturers exist, to date only 64 seems to use angled housing on the earpiece connector. It enhances the user experience in a low-key way. If there is someone else please tell me!

The regular Azla sednaearfit stay in for me very well. So do the symbio W.

You can get angled connectors on some cables from this store in Aliexpress, you just need to send them a message

Has anybody with a U4S, or Volur or Nio heard the new CA Bonneville by any chance to provide a comparison?

I went to Audio 46 for the sole purpose to buy Bonneville and end up buying Volur after audition it side by side. It's just technically superior with much better tonality, bass and treble.

what I thought but good to hear. I should bring my Volur to Audio46, it's close by me, and audition some IEM's I've had eyes on. you just bring your own tips?

we're hoping to have something similar available soon. This sort of prompted us to expedite our "premium IPX cable" project so now we're working on getting them made in our standard colors and terminations.

Thanks. I will now wait for 64's new cable.

If 64 did not write that I would prefer to ask a non-aliexpress cable maker or buy the Orb Japan / Linum IPX 4.4mm cables from a proper retailre. If any damage arises from a cheap cable, 64 may charge me for a repair and there is no reason for me to take the risk of aliexpress

Some topics covered in our live q&a, but in case you missed those videos here's Vitaliy Belonozhko doing a deeper dive on Volür's isobaric drivers


great vid and informative.

you should add the grey color as part of your standard ones and why not a purple one for the Volür
