Yes the higher SN means it was made at a later date, but there hasn't been any production changes to Volür. They would've been made identically. We're eager to get that old unit in and diagnose the issue.

Thank you

I am eager to know the issue of that unit, as well, if you'd be so kind to update me here or in a PM.

My current set of the Volür is proving to be magnificent but on the long weekend ahead I will have more time to focus on it.

On another note, regarding the Hiby M300 I bought a few days ago, well today I've returned it. To my ears, it did not synergise well with my Volür. The sound was mediocre to me, much better sound quality from my FiiO BTR7 paired to my smartphone (LDAC 990/909 kbps). A Hiby rep gave their explanation here and here, not sure if anyone is interested in reading or care to decipher, personally I do not.

Looking forward in receiving my Pentaconn COREIR - CN, International flight has departed - to discover the elegance of the Volür, right now I am astonished with my new 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2... I mean, WOW...!!!

I have been listening to my Volür for a week now and especially on this long weekend. I’ve received this pair on January 13, 2024. A brand-new pair after returning my faulty one back.

This new pair does not have the channel imbalance issue of the previous one, the channel balance, as well as the driver match, feel exemplary to me at least for the time being.

I think that only now I am starting to hear the true nature of the Volür; it is a dream I can barely describe!

I am using my iFi GO Pod paired to my S23 Ultra, listening to LDAC 990/909 kbps. Stock tips, M15 module. I can detect sounds from about 20Hz up to 17kHz.

I am mostly listening to Electronica. Through my own WAV files via UAPP, also from Amazon Music Unlimited and YouTube Premium.

Everything sounds Amazing! What truly stuns me is how YouTube Premium can sound so High End through the Volür! YouTube Premium can reach only up to 256 Kbps AAC and yet, the unparalleled Bass quality of the Volür, all that resolution and texture in the lows, is still there! Unbelievable and most impressive!

The technicalities, like the excellent resolution and the immense detail retrieval are there, strong, too! The soundstage feels tridimensional to me! The treble does not present any issue for me, it feels very extended and neither soft nor harsh!

It is such a great pleasure and it feels like such a generous reward to audition, that I have lost myself into YouTube’s suggested Playlists of unknown and completely unfamiliar Genres, I could not resist pausing/stopping!! Every man and every woman artist I’ve heard singing, sounded alluring, seductive, like a Siren!

The Volür is teaching me what Real Bass means…

Those were my impressions from listening to YouTube Premium via Bluetooth, which reaches only up to 256 Kbps AAC.

Multiply the above by 5 and you will understand my impressions from listening to Amazon Music.

Finally, multiply the last result by 25 and you will understand my impressions from listening to my own WAV files.

I am looking forward in receiving my Pentaconn COREIR on Tuesday.

anyone here have good listening experience with both the Volur and the Fir RN6 or Trifecta? any comparisons of overall sound but also specifically the bass?

I'd say Trifecta is dark sounding, Volur is V-shaped, while Rn6 is W-shaped. Bass-wise Trifecta and Rn6 has better slam, while I feel Volur has better attack. I'd personally say Trifecta and Rn6 sound more like hi-fi subwoofers, while Volur provides a more realistic presentation. That said, if you want a 'bass-specialist', I may go with Trifecta/Rn6. But Volur is by no means behind: It has pretty solid bass, in fact among the best in the market. Probably not the stand-out feature, but plays its job well among the overall presentation. Mids-wise Trifecta is noticeably warmer and darker, while Rn6 and Volur are noticeably brighter. Rn6 pushes upper-mids more forward, while Volur gives an occasional zing to vocals. Treble-wise Trifecta lies on the dark side, while both Rn6 and Volur give more brightness and extension. I personally find Volur to be more energetic, but I doubt this could be due to a difference in bass. Technical-wise I consider Volur the best among the three, in fact what amazed me during my time of demo. Equipped with a wide stage and loads of detail, it reminded me of the legendary U18t while sounding less harsh. All 3 iems are decent, I think it just depends on what are you looking after

Thanks for the great comparisons.

Well basically I recently got the final audio a8000, And while I prefer the Volür overall so far, not as much as I thought I would but it's not a crazy tough choice, I do miss some of that treble detail the a8000 brings to the table.

When I asked for something that was if those two had a baby, The RN6 was mentioned.

Trifecta is just something I want to hear in general.

What would you suggest if the Volür and the a8000 were to have a baby?

I'd probably say Feiwan or Annihilator 2023, though I personally think Volur has better bass slam-wise. Z1R could be up your alley as well, but you may have to sacrifice some resolution.

Thanks. I was told the fei wan also, but it's over 4k. I was thinking about the annihilator too just not sure about the bass between them and the rn6. I think I'm on the tour for the annihilator though so I'll get sometime this year.

I had the Z1R. I traded them for the a8000. They were pretty amazing, but I listen to a lot of male- vocal indie rock and pop and when there's lots of layers in the mids I felt I was missing something. For a lot of my music though the Z1R were mind-blowing good

I mean ultimately of course I'd like to have all these iems, but I'm trying to find my summit fi IEM the works with almost all my catalog in a top tier way, And due to my bank account, Right now I can only really own one 3K IEM basically. I'll sell all my other IEM but the Cascara and my true wireless stuff for a bit.

Have you tried Fourte before? I find Fourte to be excellent for male-vocal rock, probably best in the league. But yeah probably not as all-rounded as other iems.

If it’s any help, I wrote some comparisons with Annihilator 2023, RN6, Feiwan, CP622B & Volur on the watercooler.

I own Anni23 and Volur and am strongly considering the Canpur as well, although its bass is outstanding for BA, it loses out to all the aforementioned sets for engagement/ impact as it’s more of a generalist.

That would be a great help! Do you know what post number it was around? I guess I can search by your username.

Could someone kindly provide individual ratings from 1 to 5 for the following IEMs in terms of:

Resolution: 1-5

Soundstage: 1-5

Immersive bass: 1-5

Stereo imaging: 1-5

The IEM models are as follows: 64 Audio U18s, U18t, U12t, and Volur.

Among these IEMs, which one exhibits the highest potential when paired with a top-tier DAC and amp setup? Additionally, which IEM performs well even with limited resources?

 

[o0genesis0o]

U12t is a reliable workhorse. I can plug it to anything and get a decent sound with almost identical tonal balance. It’s surprisingly “transparent” though. I rarely hear differences between cables, but when I do, it’s usually from the U12t.

I second this!
No matter how small the source, the U12T sounds resolving and wonderful.

All 4 iems have pretty good technicals and I personally believe it is unlikely to have a miss, but yeah if I have to quantify their technicalities:
U18s: Resolution 4.5, Soundstage 4, Immersive bass 3.5, Stereo imaging 4.5
U18t: Resolution 5, Soundstage 5, Immersive bass 3, Stereo imaging 4
U12t: Resolution 4, Soundstage 4, Immersive bass 4, Stereo imaging 4.5
Volur: Resolution 4.5, Soundstage 5, Immersive bass 5, Stereo imaging 4
(Note: U18t may sound more impressive technically being brighter, so there may be a bias.)

Among these IEMs, which one exhibits the highest potential when paired with a top-tier DAC and amp setup?

I find it difficult to , but I find U18t's sound to swing among sources, possibly due to the absence of LID. That said when it is paired with outstanding sources with low noise floor (e.g., L&P P6Pro, Cayin N30LE) it goes on another level, being calm yet revealing.

Additionally, which IEM performs well even with limited resources?

Unsure about U18s, but U12t is my choice. It sounds decent even on a 10-year computer.

 

[MistahBungle]

Agree with @nocturne19 about U12t sounding great through almost anything. Occasionally use them for movies on a laptop with garbage onboard Realtek sound, still sounds pretty good. Through a half decent source (say a smartphone & up) they sound awesome.
