Product Description
In its first-ever high-driver-count, hybrid universal-fit IEM, 64 Audio is setting a lofty standard for components and sound quality. Named the Nio, this high-performance IEM features eight balanced armatures and one dynamic driver per earbud Read More
Do the APEX modules/valves actually help to relieve pressure? I experience tinnitus sometimes and I wonder if it actually helps. When I listen to iems, I don't listen for too long (maybe about 30 mins?) because it feels like the pressure gradually builds in the ear canal, especially if I use silicone tops instead of foam tips. Thank you!
This year I tried so far 64 audio nio, 64 audio u12t, unique melody mest, Dunu Zen and kinara nanna 2.0. Out of 5 of them I really impressed with Mest and dunu Zen. Mest is more refined sound where Dunu Zen is so fun to listen to it. Both nio and nanna has a quantity bass but not quality. They both also to me less resolving than u12t and mest. Zen has hard heating bass which does not bleed in other frequency. May be that's why they are more fun to listening to.
imagine spend almost $1400 on this. If you just want as many drivers as possible, lots of IEM companies can do that. IEMs are not all about stacking drivers
I've owned a pair of these for a while now. Yes they are expensive, and from a pure sound/technicalities perspective you can probably do better for cheaper (IER M9 as an example). However these do two things that make it worth the cost for me.
1.) Tonality: most hybrids tend to get this wrong, or have coherency issues somewhere in the mids between where the dynamic driver and the BA drivers transition. These are the first hybrids I've heard to date (including the Z1R) that don't have something wonky going on somewhere in the mids region.
2.) The modules: I thought these were a gimmick going in but turns out the MX changes the sound considerably to a more neutral/reference from the more 'fun' tuning of the M15/M20. Personally I use mine with the fir audio atom N0 module which is a nice in between tuning between the MX and M15 stock 64A modules.
These are a pretty fun set, non-fatiguing, and comfortable with decent technicalities that check all the boxes for my use case. If I had to nitpick, the bass isn't particularly as detailed as something like the IER Z1R and mid bass is slightly uncontrolled on the M15 and M20 modules where sometimes I feel it might bleed into the lower mids. The treble is detailed but doesn't necessarily have the sparkle that you'd hear in something like the Andromedas - for me that makes it non fatiguing but YMMV.
TLDR: They don't necessarily do anything extremely well but they also don't really egregiously mess up anything either to the point where it becomes a deal breaker.
Ortho_Sympadoubt that. Dont think any company will end a product because it is not “competitive”. It’s simply because EE doesn’t care this collab after getting popular. They focus to make their own product for a higher profit margin. And of course, they don’t want to make a budget version of their iem to undercut themselves. Drop is always a cornerstone for these companies.
