This is not too big and can use any 2 pin(with adapter) or mmcx IEMs. Handy to have on an island where I have my top choices of IEMs with me. @Takeda`1537 I could not stop laughing after reading that. I would do same!
Ripping my own ears off but listening ti Pods is a pretty logical choice for anyone who has tried Trios...

P.S. I am runing the iPods/Bose experience of all colleagues, clients and friends making them try some proper IEM... after that most move to a mix of U4s, Andros OG/2020, IE300/600 etc.. and the odd U12t/Trio/Fourte... while the model they move to is based on affordability and willingness to spend, I am getting quite a good number of iPods and Bose thrown to the bin.

P.P.S. it is hilarious to see their faces when they get to try the difference...

Good! It is just surprising how many people won't spend money on good IEMs/headphones but yet they spend/throw away money on other stuff without any thought like going out to eat all the time or Starbucks. My family thinks I am crazy to spend as much as I have even though I only bought one set new but 35% off MSRP. My nephew got my SE846s and been told they never leave his ears and that is not the best IEM but he is a teen. He was going to buy junk until I stopped that. The great thing is many high-end IEMs are available used at reasonable prices. Once you go High-Fi you never go back. $200 for Ipods now and next year they will have a new version and they buy that etc. I get they are small and you can put in pocket easily will give them that but don't want to torture my ears especially after the Trios which I have literally worn all day in perfect happiness many times. I rather listen to music than watch TV any day.

They just do not know .... simply... they friends and whoever is driving their choices does not know either.
In consumer electronic industry big brands (and their low quality products) rule...

Its like watching TV in black and white and then going to 4K. We live in a disposable society that is the sad truth. It would be great if 64 Audio had a good demo program for people like me who do not live near them or a dealer could try some of their products.

I was about to recommend visiting Addicted 2 Audio if you're in Melbourne to try out some other high-end gear, but I realized your Melbourne is in Florida. :D The Watercooler thread actually hosts quite a few tours from time to time. I think 64's flagships were included quite some time ago. More recently, we've had tours of high-end models from FiR Audio, Aroma Audio, Vision Ears, etc. Those tours should pop up on the front page when they happen, in case you don't wanna keep up with the thread that goes 1000 miles an hour. They're also mostly US-based.

Thanks. I will have to check that out. Would be nice to demo some gear. I would be willing to drive to South FL. Only 2 hours away.

Talking about the desert island survey on the Watercooler, I put Trio in my top seven and so 64 Audio were represented for me. I also put AirPods in there too. As @Deezel177 said they offer great convenience, and as I’m in the Apple environment they work seamlessly with all my equipment.

I think there are more US tours than Canadian on now. But @Rockewell75 who runs most of them is based in Canada on Victoria Island. :L3000: I love :hearts: being on these tours as it's a cheap way to try out different iems. Also, there are NO high-end iem dealers in Calgary. :triportsad::slight_frown::weary:

In same boat as far as I know. Guess FL is not a hot spot for music. I could drive up to Nashville and sure would find something there. Funny thing is where my sister lives in Colorado there are lots of options including one 20 mins away from her that carries 64 Audio.

What's this being teased on social media? @64Audio
