I think U4s is a shocker for this price! U12t might be technically a bit better but fun goes to U4s. It's as much as fun as Trio but a touch smoother highs.

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ve contacted them asking for the same advice, but did not inquire about loaners. That’s the downside of wanting ciems, no effective way to demo them.

They have universals for even the N8 that they loaned. Not sure if they do that now, but I had loaners from them several years ago.

Guys need some advice.

Im trying to find a fun set that will compliement my Monarch Mk2 and im interested in the u4s but have some questions. Maybe someone could help me.
Something laid back but fun would be great.
Ive had the Symphonium Meteor for a while but sold them due to the too callmed down overall signature but they were very close to my perfect tuning.
The Monarchs 2 were more exciting but even better controlled in the treble area (i found the Meteors very smooth across the spectrum but the last octavs in trebles could get to me in a slightly harsh way). The Monarch Mk2 was also a noticeable step up from the Meteor in technicalities, separation, timbre, vocals and of course DD bass.
Im aming at something close to the Meteor, with laid back tuning but with technicalites on a level of Monarch/u12t (well can be bit lower, dont mind if i loose 2-4% of microdetail).
I loved the u12t but found the Monarch more convincing in vocals, timbre and having deeper subbass rumble. The staging and imaging on the u12t were a treat tho.

Thanks in advance!

What difference did you notice from the universal loaners vs. their ciems that you purchased? The insertion depth will have an impact on the sound we hear, and my fear is that the universal loaners won’t be an accurate representation of the customs.

They were pretty similar. I did not have the loaners and CIEMs at the same time, but the overall sound signature is the same. Bass is a little better in the CIEM.

Appreciate the insights! Very helpful!

I see some shop listed the U4s as 11Ω and 107 dB/mw sensitivity but the 64Audio Main Site list it differently, 6Ω and 105 dB/mw sensitivity. Any idea which one is correct?

Well, you need to define fun, since MM2 is already a hoot with its big subbass and generally clear sound.

my U12t arrived but can’t get a good seal with any of the tips - any recommendations? I use S Final Type E with my Z1R and S stock silicone tips with my monarch mkii

I have the Trios, which I use with Sedna Earfit Max tips. I also tried the spinfit cp 100+, which I like as well, but the fit can sometimes be finicky because the nozzles move slightly.

Final type E fit fine, but the 64a true fidelity foam tips are actually brilliant and the most comfortable frankly. This is what I use and ordered multiple from 64 audio. They’re much denser and better sonically than Dekoni foam for example

I am very happy now with the Sony hybrids. They are very similar to the final type E but the stem is shorter. This allows me to push them all the way down the nozzle so the tip sits flush with the end nozzle

I had the same issue. Strongly recommend the SednaEarfit Max... I made a post about it with a photo here:

For 64 IEMs I find that the Spinfit W1 work really well for fit and sound signature. Though they are a little spendy and can be hard to find at times.

 

[Arora]

Thanks everyone. I have a pack of Final Type E tips and the mediums are working well for me for now. I have the Spinfit W1 but they didn’t feel comfortable.

How far do you insert these into your canal? My main IEMs are the Z1R which goes much further inside my ear so I know I’m getting a good seal.
I’m not used to small IEMs tbh. If I shake my head there’s no danger of these falling out but they don’t feel as secure as the Sonys.
