A18t is without question better sounding to my ears. With foams, the treble is a little weird, and with spinfits or silicone it’s too bright for me. The acrylic shells and perfect fit of the A18t improves bass response, as well as tames treble vs the universal version to my ears. It’s worth it.


I demo'd the U18 with Spinfits and never tried foams, (just don't like the hassle). With Spinfits I couldn't find any fault with the U18 and did not have ANY issue with the treble.

I thought I read someone's impressions where he demo'd the U18 but ordered the A18 and thought the A18 had too much bass, and returned them to 64 Audio for some type of modification that reduced the bass? So, I'm somewhat afraid of the signature changing, and not to my liking...

The signature is still the same, but more “natural” sounding to my ears. It’s everything the u18 is just 1-3% better and the fit is perfect.

One of the things that impressed me with the U18 was it's airy, deep and wide soundstage. Do you thing that was changed any with customs?

I whish wecould send U18 and transform it to A18.....going from U18 to A18 is expensive! (selling old one and buying new one)

Anybody know why 64 Audio's shipping is so high? $39 is the cheapest. For a light weight, small IEM box? Maybe I'm spoiled from Amazon Prime 2-day free shipping...

I was thinking the same thing, shipping cost do add up though.

Hi all, I have ordered an a12t, and trying to match a 2.5mm cable for it

And I see that plus sound is doing a christmas sale, do anyone have any recommandation?

Kind of depends on your budget.

On the lower end, Ares II (non-plus) ought to pair nicely with that signature. Or, for the ultimate celebration of range and transparency, Leonidas.

I just placed my order for the Tia Fourte - super pumped. I guess I'll recieve them by mid- February at the latest. I must be patient, I must be patient, I must be patient. lol

A Christmas present to yourself which you won't get until well after Christmas. Still a good choice. Happy holidays!

Strange, I wonder what made them decide to no longer produce those...

As for the difference, simple.

It's just that Empire Ears ADEL use different modules compared to 64 Audio now, which uses APEX modules.

Both are different sized though, so 64 Audio IEMs can't use ADEL modules even if you want to swap them out.

As to how different is the *sound*, well...that depends on what type of sound preference you want.
