Hi, I lucked into a good deal on a barely used tia trio. My question does the trio need burning in and if so for how many hours? thx

If it's already got ~50h on it probably not. No harm in running it for a day or two to eliminate any burn in doubt though. Pls share your impressions here along with music choices when you get them.

Not sure why there are past complaints about the original Fourte like incoherent sound, funny stage and wonky tonality... I just had it for a few days and even though it has been almost 4 years since it was initially released, it still sounded great to me. It is very musical and vocals have accurate tones true to real voices. Technicalities are at high level as well. Am I missing something?

The wonky incoherency people ment was about some notes being to quiet or fainted away. To really experience this you need to eventually also find that passage and pinpoint it. Once you have found it then use another iem and replay the same passage and tou will realise that on the other iem it sounds louder and that note is more elevated and present the. On oj fourte...

This is some sound effect I guess It might be the way the sound is produced by the tia mids as thats where the issue seemed to happen.

I know exactly what that is and I can 100% confirm tia noir dont exibit of that issue.

Its nothing major but it is fourte oj personality hehe so like it!

I'm on the same page.
Fourte is one of the greatest iem from 64audio.
It's more revealing than most of bad recordings, that's all.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciate, cheers.

Thanks for comments Tiger.

So far I didn’t find anything wonky at all on Fourte yet. In fact its sound is so natural and is a good all rounder as well.

How would you compare Fourte to Odin?

Geez, that’s a tough question

They’re so different and I think I’m not ready to compare them

I would just say they are for different enjoyment - Odin is for fun sound but not so accurate and Fourte is for serious listening with natural sounds. I think Fourte is more audiophile sound but I enjoyed both as both are unique.

Interesting, most consider the Odin a 'reference' IEM and the Fourte a 'fun' IEM and you have that swapped around. Funny how people hear and describe the same IEMs so differently.

Yeah that’s how I hear them, not sure about others. I guess different ears different brains haha

edit: Fourte not just serious listening but fun as well. I don’t consider Odin reference but that’s just my opinion.

Just to add, Odin clarity is excellent but sometimes can sound exaggerated. Fourte sound more natural especially vocals and giving a better euphoria/emotional sound.

Vocals are one of 64 Audio's strength IMO. Nio is particularly euphonic and my favourite for vocals out of the Nio/U12t/Trio, but all three have superb vocals (Trio doesn't like bright or poorly recorded vocals though, whereas the other two are far more forgiving).

Yep, 64 Audio have good tuning that won’t go wrong

Mr. X’s speaker sounding tia Fourte vs Mr. T’s tia Fourte Noir

Hey guys,

Slightly off topic, but looking for a super portable DAC to pair with my OnePlus 8 Pro and U12ts? I was thinking about the Dragonfly Cobalt, but heard conflicting reviews on it being too expensive?

Any recommendations and feedback on use with the DFC would be really appreciated.

EarMen Sparrow (https://earmen-shop.com/products/sparrow) or Lotoo PAW S1 are you two better bets. The Sparrow for sure would be better than the Dragonfly, especially if you use your IEMs balanced, and is $100 cheaper than the Cobalt.

Do these normally come with M15 or M20? I don’t see an option to choose when I go to purchase.
