if they achieved a deep holographic soundstage and are more on the relaxed side of neutral or at least dont have a harman or vshaped signature, this could be a contender for my endgame
this is actually a pretty good description of Solo.

BTW @64Audio very nice shell design, reminds me of old floor speakers from the 70s and the pattern from your logo is the cherry on the cake👌
very keen observation. not sure if there was a direct influence or a subconscious one but we can definitely see the resemblance.

I had a sneak peak at the Solo - here's a YT Short I did unboxing it.


A couple interesting notes:
1. It's a 14.2 mm planar. Not sure if it's the same planar being used in many of the other planar IEMs currently out there.
2. It's true open back, not just vented. There's no pressure build-up and feels "open".
3. The new piece of tech that 64 Audio is using here is the Dual Helmholtz Resonators to help control the treble.

I won't comment on the sound at the moment so that we can get some live reactions from CanJam. But stay tuned over the next few days as I'll try to get a YT Short first impressions review out and a written review on The Audio File's section of Headphones.com.

this may have been before our final packaging was delivered so keep in mind there will be a bit more in retail units.

they're not technically "open back" like Duo's semi-open back design, but the isolation is on the more open side. Similar to our m12 module
Any plans on a future model that will allow Apex swaps? I love being able to "fine tune" things depending on what I am listening to or mood. Tip rolling can do a lot but Apex swap can make a big difference especially with Nio. I know you guys probably wanted to keep the Solo as "affordable" as possible but I would pay more for the Apex swap ability even if I have to use a tool to change the modules.

Yes, it one says sample packaging on the box! It looked so good and finished that I thought it was actually it! Taken down the video for now!
After I recorded that and shipped off the Solo for CanJam, I saw the Headphones.com page with the Solo's full set of accessories list here: https://headphones.com/products/64-audio-solo-in-ear-headphones

For those that do not already own 64 Audio product(s) their after sales customer service/repairs is TOP NOTCH even when out of warranty! You won't find this with the majority of IEM makers out there. You don't have to send anything to China :)

based on the internal construction of models like Fourte, Trio, Duo, and Solo it's just not possible in their current configuration to build them with interchangeable apex modules
