One thing I like about 64 Audio is that when they launch a product, they stand behind it and it remains in their lineup for years. It's not like other companies, that launch a product, do the hype rounds and a year or two later discontinue the product or come out w/ a version 2 of the iem. I'd rather see a great product launched, become a staple, remain a staple and have incremental upgrades through time, but not every year or two after launch.
Love 64 audio. One of the few high end IEM manufacturers that also prioritize comfort in addition to sound. Too many flagship chifi shells only fit large ears.
I'd say their shells are actually only comfortable in small ears. They're painful for my medium-large ears unless I use very specific tips.
Owner of Tia Trio here, glad someone did this as I always wondered about their QC and such.
Weird flex but ok
Volur not satisfied with sound but it's good set someone else definitely would love it
Nice to hear someone on the "inside" talk about diminishing returns, and how their lower-end IEMs are 90% (or maybe more) of their TOTL. Refreshing.
This may be my all-time favorite video you guys have cranked out. What a great job! Great questions, interactions, responses, and production.
More like this! Great interviewing and behind the scenes footage. This format is great
7:42 so Crinacle was right. his method of the first 5-15 seconds innitial impression is what matters (most). so, remember folks, brain burn-in forces your brain to follow orders 😉
But your brain doesn't easily reset from having heard your daily driver like everyday. So you're always comparing relatively to what you are currently adapted to.
It's all relative.
@@Alepap. of course.
"Brain burn in" sounds painful 🤣 why would I set my head on fire 🤣

Precogs like “can I live here 💯"
Seems like an interesting place to work. I'd do it
GREAT VIDEO! It shows the amount of work and effort it takes to create an IEM.
"Combination of science and art"... boy I wish more hobbyists would realize this!
This is awesome, love this format! Behind the scenes, the interviews, superb!
such a cool insight into how they approach their design philosophy, great vid!
Very interesting and educational. Thanks a lot Precog.
Very interesting to get an inside look at all of the aspects of creating IEMs. Great video!
That was super interesting ! Vlad is so passionate I would love to talk with him a couple of hours ! Thanks for this video. I’m not audiophile enough to justify this level of IEM yet, but if I get there, I’ll remember Studio 64.
!!! The day 64audio prints universals is the day the midrange market gets dominated. I can dream
I loved 64 Audio. I using A6t, A12t, A18s. Sound is really really great and fitting is so comfortable. If you thinking buy CIEM, 64 Audio is your best and best option. Every unique function made 64 audio CIEM more and more special.
Vitaliy Gordeyev was the highlight for me. He said some things that a lot of people needed to hear in this hobby. This makes me want to look into their iems even more now.
my 'poor' me purchased U4S (B-Stock) on sale last holiday season, and all i can say is HOLYGUACAMOLY
hoping 64 audio will release much cheaper options in the future...
This was interesting, thanks guys.
Really good video!
Great vid!
I love how their 3D Detailer has on Apple AirPods. 😂
Someone make her a pair of CIEMs!
I love my N8 customs, I would love to try a custom version of the Volür as well some day!
Finally i can see how legend brands operate
64 audio house sound is one of a kind
great intake with em" precog. just a suggestion for em" to use more un tangle cables for their products, no need fancy like PW or something, the cema's is more fit than they are using now.
The owner is very technically equipped!
Crin has massive ears. Got it
Very cool. Now, I’d love to see you go to a cheap chifi factory!
We'd also like to see Simgot's production house. That company is also doing some great things in audio.
Lol no
Simgot is doing nothing new
They aren't doing anything new, they're doing it right. @@nwananka
@@Mumbai-Toronto-NY i agree.
Cool video PreCog
A very hand made product!
Several great interviews within.
Still pretty hard to justify the $ asked, but the diminishing returns comment might inspire some listening.
That begs the question, what is the price performance sweet spot in their s & t lines?
As an audiophile it would be nice to see how good you can make something for say $1k vs we should sell this for a lot more because it sounds like others $2k products…
Great behind the scenes video!
Thanks,🙏
The u4s is the most expensive iem I would personally buy. One of the best iems I have heard
Thanks Precogvision! These guys are the real deal.
Fascinating great video!! I will work for Volur or U18t 🤷♂️jus saying 😂
This is awesome! 😂
I'm a Korean consumer who uses Forute Blanc. I love the sound of 64audio very much. But I'm using it worrying that my product might break down even if the 2 pin connector is loose n shakes or a lot of contact failure. I hope it will be a luxury brand with good after-service
Love 64 Audio! Their customer service went above and beyond when fedex lost my iems in the mail.
Finally how are they made? I could see it! Only Talk Talk Talk!
8:18 that is quite a 🌶 take...
64audio should release volur custom
Awesome video, great Precog questions, honest and reliable answers by the whole 64 Audio Team and love the editing. When are you planning to visit other IEM - Headphones factory? I can't stress enough how engaging and educational this videos are.
HeadphoneShow will you marry me?
Volur is a fabulous iem. First time a bass driver clearly takes a full step above the rest of the market.
It does have a bit too much elevation between 200-400Hz at times for some genres, but it’s a very easy fix with EQ
Man Id love to intern there
Ignorance is bliss.
Show us how the drivers are made next? :)
If I had my own company, I would hire Mr. Gordeyev in a second lol.
Who knew coffee could be the enemy of good listening. Feels like the opposite. Hydrate your ears, fellas.
Ja that one is quite fascinating information, looking at how a lot of audio reviewers like to have coffee while performing reviews. And I like a cup to stay awake.
Having someone licking your ears, might be a good idea 😂💀
Seeing the employees at a headphone company use Apple Airpods is not a good sign 😂
If I wasn't a moron, I'd write them about wanting to be a part of this but yeah I won't make it lol
Does that mean the U4S is for stage use? That doesn't seem right.
First iems in my life that passed the test of 5-15 sec with flying colors were Softears Twilight. They still amaze me after 4 months of almost everyday use. Ive sold my beloved u12t after getting the Twilight. The reasons for that were: 1- smoother and more natural treble on the Twilight and the 2- DD driver for the low end.
I really loved the u12t but the trebles were just bit too harsh to my ears.
I wish they had more variety in tuning and semi custom shell designs. All of their IEMs are kind of relaxed in the ear gain area. Their universal IEM shells just don't really work for me at all, the nozzle presses against the side of my ear canal and the shell presses against my crux helix and both get painful within an hour. For my ears all the included silicon tips either are too small to seal, or large enough to seal but the umbrella just collapses and folds over on itself and breaks the seal.
Go with Noble Audio
Stock cables on their mid priced IEMs are junk. I went with Noble Audio, just better quality overall imo
Excellent interview. I have 64 audio u4s.
Why are they making IEM's only for rich people, most expensive iem I got is 120 bucks lol
precog heads to Washington State University after the interview
3:41 - that's a subwoofer
Did not know they were US??? made company
Ah yes $2000+ IEMs made of metal that's held together with literally nothing but like a .05mm thick ring of glue and not even in a way that protects the glue from skin oil or just twisting/pulling forces when handling the IEMs. I wonder how many pennies per unit that saves over using screws
I went Noble Audio
How expensive IEMs are made
Exactly the same way cheap IEMs are made. Just more expensive. 🙂
kudos to the airpods in the office, enlightened audiophile employees
Second
I am not here for the money...lol. We all are there for the money unless you already rich
It's funny how those who are not in it for the money somehow make the most money. #passion, amirite? 🙂
@allydea they all there for love and money . Without money the dream stops
So Fillip is the reason for the boring faceplates and super cheap cables known throughout the audio community as worse than chifi
Thurd baybee
I know this is headphones page and everyone here loves spending big bucks for iems. And they also love 64audio.
But i tried quite a few 64 audio iems and they all sound meh at best. Very overpriced for what they ask, iems like 7th acoustics supernova beat the fudge out of them.
Have you considered that we all have different tastes, and they have a house sound? Meaning if you don't like their house sound you're probably not going to like their stuff. I don't have any of their stuff, but it's just your comment sounds rather focused on a dissing rather than informing, if you were saying you prefer 7th Acoustics sound to 64 Audio that would be different than saying it's meh. Someone else might find the sound signature you like not great to them, that doesn't mean it is not, it simply means it is not to their taste.
Not everyone here is an A64 apostle.
first
ok
Too much sibilance. Not even have proper bores which is very important for controlling 6-8khz. U12t, u18t, u18s, volur and forte blanc, I've listened all of them. Totally disappointed. Don't waste your money guys.
can I just say Precog - man you've been hitting the gym obviously, bloody hell I have no clue what is being said when you're in the frame
The most overrated brand of all time
