Is fit an issue with the U12t’s? I have never had issues with IEMs before but just got a pair of U12t’s and can’t even get both to stay in my ears at the same time, let alone a good seal.

I guess it depends on your ears but 64’s IEMs are some of the best fitting universals I’ve tried

This would be unacceptable to me.
This is a totl iem and you paid premium money for this, this should never happen.
I would demand a replacement.
I do agree with you and with the principle but when factoring in the time, money and effort to get this through to them and have it shipped, sent back etc it’s not really worth it, especially as it’s a rather small defect

That's the issue, you are at there mercy, it would be possibly weeks to you see a replacement, I know I couldn't go that long without.
Maybe see if they would reimburse you something for this happening?

Yeah it’s only cosmetic but a bit annoying... I don’t think I’ll be sending it back for that though as it isn’t that major an issue
This is an almost 4k IEM, you should fight for a perfect product.

My favorite cable is a 150RMB (=$20 USD) cable on Taobao:
https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=562739710534
(it is MMCX only, I also bought MMCX to 0.78mm adapter to use it on 64 Audio A12)

Other cables I have in comparison: Effect Audio ARES II 4 Wire, ARES II 8 Wire, ALO Ref 8, $200 level pure silver cables, also tried many no brand low price (>$50) cables.
IEMs used: Westone W80, Andromeda, Andromeda SS, A12, DIY brand 8+2 IEM (8BA, 2 Dynamics)

For all the IEMs, I like this taobal $20 USD cable the best.
Sounds crazy, but why I like this cable: no colorization, retains all details, no adjustment to any frequency bands, totally flat and honest to the IEM.

- Other no brand low price (>$50) cables: they don't retain all details, they have unpleasant elevations/boosts
- Pure silver cable, ALO Ref 8, ARES II: Basically applying EQ to the sound, each cable does slightly different kind of EQ. Use a certain cable on a certain IEM can compensate for the specific IEM's certain issues. They can retain good level of details, but still some fine grained texture details are lost.



The Ares II really opened up my Fourte but although less than a year old it is stiffening up quite a bit. The 64Audio cable is still flexible.

20190909_174010.jpg I think I found the best tip combo for me and it works on most universals I use. Pretty damn cheap too

Hifiman tips from Amazon and small Symbio foam added over the stem

The Campfire CIEM is way too warm imo. I have the Noble Katana and absolutely love its sound. Very mid centric, with amazing vocals, decent soundstage and instrumental separation. The U12t is more technical and has a lot more bass but I personally prefer the Katana by far.

I have a general question. Have you guys ever sent a mail to 64 Audio with questions regarding a potential purchase and how long did it usually take for them to answer?

I sent a mail to them last week regarding a potential purchase here in Germany with some questions and haven't heard back from them. Not even an automated reply that they received the mail and will process it at any point.

This might be perfectly normal but it would be nice to know by when an answer can be reasonably expected.
Hi hAbIrAbI, Sorry for the delay. We'll be in touch soon.
