Just putting an additional plug (haha) for the High Fidelity Earplugs! Got mine a couple weeks ago and actually use mine regularly for sleep among other things. Wife loves having a white noise machine and a fan on, plus our kids wake up so early some days, so I had been looking at earplug solutions… tried many and either didn’t block enough noise, didn’t feel comfortable while sleeping, or both. Should have tried these sooner since I already had my impressions on file from my A12t from a couple years ago.

Really like these! Stay in my ears all night, comfortable, block a good amount of noise AND stays consistent without fiddling with them.

Hi there, noticed you used to have the FIR RN6 - how do you rate it vs the Volur … I’m tossing up between these 2 myself (I want that totl visceral bass and with totl resolution too) - any feedback appreciated!
Cheers

Is there a specific reason why you use the m15 module instead of the m20 module? because I myself really love the m20 for the bass way over m15

The Rn6 has a one-directional bass impact that does hit physically harder, but in terms of wholesome enveloping high quality and quantity bass, I would have to give it to the Volur. Also, I much prefer the Volur's tuning as everything sounds right. I wasn't a fan of the Rn6's sweet treble tuning. The resolution on both is comparable.

Because this module is what the IEM was fit with when I received the box today
I will try the m20 tomorrow, but m15 is already on my bass threshold especially with my AET06 M+ tips and Brise Asuha LE cable pairing. In fact, I'm more interested to see if the m12 suits me better.

Thanks for the insight & appreciate your info.
Just another query if that’s ok, I don’t have much experience with atom modules…and both have a version of atom (I think the RN6 uses the mini style ones) - did one show more sound adjustability by changing the atom modules ?
It also turns out our local audiophile shop has both to demo - that’ll be my next stop, to compare them, but I’ll have to make sure I pay attention to which atom modules are fitted to the demos so it’s a fair comparison - did you have a preference for a certain module on either or was it’s effect not so noticeable?

The treble will be more open and extended with time, depending on the synergy with tips and cable M20 could be also a nice tuning for the Volur... the first days of my Volur bass was dominant with the M15 but after a few days it opened a lot , so its more balanced now!!

I didn't change the module much on my Rn6 (also they're too small!), but preferred m15 on my Volur, u12t and u4s, especially as my Brise cable gives the bass a bit more thump.

Thanks, will keep in mind M15’s when trialling the Volur - I do like the idea of being able to tweak the sound via the atom modules (am assuming they mostly affect the bass region only),

Hey have a question. There has been discussion about what manufacturers do in regards to selling their IEM's with the stock cable, and how that works into the development process. Are your IEM's sold with the expectation that people will upgrade them or do you send a specific cable with x properties out as the stock cable? Or is it just way more casual than that.

So you do multiple iterations of each IEM as they are designed, for example you said the Volur dual DD took at least 4 iterations to get right. So during this entire process of getting the iEM to where you are happy enough with it to bring it to market, do you maintain a sort of chain integrity throughout this process? From the source to the cable basically. But especially the cable. Do you keep the cable the same during the process or is it just grab any random cable that reaches x spec. how do you decide which cable to ship as the stock cable with your IEMs? Does it relate to the development stage in any way? How similar is the stock cable vs the development process cables, etc...

Would love to get a little insight on this fascinating process. Thanks!

great question. The way you phrased it in your first paragraph is probably a good way of answering. We (and maybe other manufactures as well) are much more casual about cables than some of the end-users in this hobby. We of course make sure that the cable we're using in development and in the end product aren't negatively affecting the measured and perceived sound. We choose our "stock" cables specifically because they are a solid option and we hope our customers end up using our included cables because they perform, feel, and look great.

Thanks for the quick response. So you do also sell a more premium upgrade cable than the one sold with the Volur, for example. Does that mean that higher end cable will improve the sound? Or what makes it more premium exactly? Or is the stock cable the sound as you want it to be heard, and then people can tinker as they wish later, just like people like to modify things in so many hobbies.

It is pretty hard to beat our current stock cable. The two more expensive options were available as upgrades while all of our UIEMs came with our older cable. We launched this new one with U6t and then added it to all of the other UIEMs (except U18s) later on. The two more expensive cables were a response to market demand at the time and are better cables than the ones that used to come with the UIEMs and we're happy to continue to make them available as they are both great in their own ways. The cost is a reflection of the material and order quantity, they also all differ in feel, hardware, and gauge (as well as some having memory wire). The sound quality differences between the current three high-end cables remain relatively subjective but are available to anyone looking for cable options within the 64 audio family of products
