I echo the Noir/Fourte thoughts also. Definitely a worthy trade off. It’s still a little “wonky” but it’s more tolerable.

Agreed.

My brand new fourté isn't wonky and are very coherent in comparison to the older fourté I once had before and noirs are literally 20 DB boosted in bass

Is there any confirmation that 64 Audio retuned the newer Fourte? I just demo’ed one with old style logo which is why I ask.

Hard to say I went by memory but haven't yet had an opportunity to do a real direct A/B

To my ears they are different

A bit more than just a 2db bass boost

I don’t think the Fourte has coherency issues, the Trio does for sure. The Trio has unmistakenly DD bass with what is a thinner/airy typical BA driver signature. It sounds a little weird but it just works somehow.

I think the biggest problem on the fourte is the dips and peaks, it creates that super holographic soundstage but does it at the cost of what many would consider a ”normal“ tonality.

Yea maybe thats what I’m interpreting as coherency issues. Because of the tuning tricks for stage certain parts of tonality is off for me whereas other parts are not.

It works for me

I got a Trio yesterday so it's early days but I don't think it will eclipse the Fourte for me. But let's see, fun times ahead!

What makes the Trio win over the Fourte for you guys?

Trio for me has more 'issues' than Fourte, especially with some female vocals, and that zingy treble on brighter tracks. Fourte is the essence of refinement throughout, even with peaky tracks. I also prefer Fourte's technical superiority throughout the FR. Trio may have more bass and more mids but Fourte's are of audibly higher quality. I get what people say about wonky tonality, but that's quite rare, whereas when Fourte nails something very few IEMs can touch it. Of course, all of this depends on your preferences, music library, source, cable and tips (Fourte is like a super sensitive overachiever and every little thing in the chain makes a big change to the final sound).

I actually love the fact that Fourte is so polarising. If like me you're one of the people it just clicks with, there's so much to love. And I feel quite protective over it somehow, considering how many people don't seem to 'get it'.

I'll audition odin one day no guarantee it will push even a slight bit my Fourté of the throne

 

[Tristy]

He had to trade in it for something that’s nearly twice as expensive to top it that’s how it’s doing.
