Posted on January 12, 2023 by Ben M.

64 Audio is an American brand that since 2010 produces custom and universal fit In Ear Monitors. Their product range goes from their most affordable custom A2e (around £600) all the way up to the very high end universal IEM the Fourté Blanc (£3,899.00). Their target market is split in two. First, Custom IEM’s for professional musicians and music makers across the board. (It is known that Beyonce wore 64 Audio Customs for the superbowl performance in 2016!). 64 Audio’s Custom IEM offering has every type of musician covered and the customisation options allow you to personalise your choice until it is a unique, one off. Secondly they aim also at the High End Audiophile market with their universal range, offering most of their Custom IEMs in universal form as well as having a few unique models such as the Nio, Trio & Fourté.

About 64 Audio

64 Audio’s Mission/Vision is to ultimately redefine the connection the world has with music & inspire musicians and music lovers to unearth a deeper connection with music through their spectacular product range. Founded by Vitaliy Belonozhko, 64 Audio began their journey in 2010 as 1964 Ears. They have been alive and kicking for over 12 years already! They renamed themselves to 64 Audio in 2015. Along the way to today, they have worked with artists such as Beyonce, Jay Z, John Mayer, Nathan East, Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi and more, Just to name a few.

64 Audio is a provider of custom In-Ear Monitors aimed at the working musician & has a universal range aimed at the High End / Audiophile niche.

64 Audio is a family-owned business, composed of musicians and music lovers who are passionate about the power of sound and premium craftsmanship. It might sound cliché, but as they say on their website “we’re a family”. Together, they are helping artists connect with their work in new and innovative ways. Their focus on working musicians has also had the intended effect of making them supremely popular in the consumer market too. 64 Audio’s didcation to improving and innovating in the audio space has not gone unknown. They have earned recognition worldwide and secured patents for award-winning tech, like tia™, apex®, LID™, and 3D-Fit™ (more info on these below). Over the last decade 64 Audio have essentially reinvented what it means to build IEMs with flagship universal designs such as their tia Fourté™ and tia Trió™.

The team at 64 Audio believes that “when the walls between you and music come down, you do your best work and live your life most truly.” This is reflected by the passion and supreme effort that goes into every single earphone they create.

Product Overview

Their products are classified into two categories: Custom & Universal . Their most affordable option is the A2e, which is a dual driver custom only IEM. In their custom portfolio you will also find the A3t, A4s ( t indicating it uses a tia driver), the A6t (the number after the letter indicates how many drivers..), the N8 (A unique CIEM designed in collaboration with Nathan East), the A12t, the A18t and finally the A18s.

In addition to their custom range, they also offer an extensive list of universal models. Many of which replicate some of their best selling CIEMs but of course, in universal form. Such as the U6t, U12t, U18t & U18s. Unique models include the Duo, Nio, Trio & Fourté.

The Wonderful World Of Custom IEM’s

The current core business of 64 Audio is custom fit IEM’s. CIEMs are musicians’ work tools and an essential component for live performing. In 2022, there has been an astonishing increase in demand for 64 Audios CIEM’s across the world. This is definitely in part to musicians finally being allowed to play live again post worldwide lockdown and upgrading their gear along with it. But it is also the result of the direction 64 Audio have taken in marketing their product. By changing their categories from Studio, Stage & Audiophile to simply Custom and Universal, they have essentially reduced the veil between the two different markets (Musician/Producer &Consumer/Audiophile) and now everyone seems to want their own. By offering a custom option starting at £600, 64 Audio Custom IEM’s are accessible to anyone who wants them.

64 Audio have reduced the veil between two different markets (Musician/Producer &Consumer/Audiophile) and now everyone seems to want their own Customs.

Should you go for the custom version if you are not in the music industry? In short: It is up to you! Customs are great for those who are using these professionally or who want increased comfort (they are made to fit your ears like a tailored glove). One thing to note however is that Universal models retain resale value should you want to change your equipment in the future, whereas unless you have an identical twin a Custom IEM is for you and you alone. Which is not a bad thing either really, considering how many customization options they have and how you can really create something one of a kind for yourself.

Customization Options

This is definitely one of 64 Audio’s most unique selling points. The plethora of options to choose from when building your own CIEM’s can seem overwhelming at first. Do you go with Ripple Abalone faceplates or your own custom Artwork? Have both earphones the same colour scheme or entirely opposite? Rose Gold or Mother of Pearl? Wood or Glitter? With so many options to choose from, you really can get something created that is absolutely unique to your personality and style.

64 Audio Technologies

As mentioned throughout, ever since their inception in 2010, 64 Audio have kept pushing the boundaries with new technologies for in-ear monitors. They introduced their tia™ drivers, which are openly radiating balanced armature drivers. In addition, they also introduced LID™ (Linear Impedance Design) and apex®. LID™ basically sets an almost linear impedance curve throughout the entire frequency range, while apex® helps mitigate ear-fatigue by simulating a secondary ear-drum. This is an open module that eliminates pneumatic pressure that builds up in an otherwise closed room and can be swapped out for more or less sound reduction based on the user’s circumstances.

Handcrafted Comfort

A new way of manufacturing custom in-ear monitors preserves the details of your ear impressions for the most comfortable-fitting IEMs possible.

Fatigue-Free Listening

This pneumatically interactive vent relieves air pressure in a sealed ear canal, alleviating listener fatigue and opening the soundstage.

Consistent Sound

Enjoy a steadfast sound at any venue. From studio to stage, this proprietary circuit ensures your IEM’s sound signature stays the same no matter what it’s plugged into.

Tubeless Transparency

64 Audio’s industry-first, tubeless technology eliminates sound-altering dampers and tubes. This reduced resonance reveals a new level of resolution and transparency.

Universals & Limited Editions

As 64 Audio has grown over the last decade, it has continuously improved upon its own ideas and technology. In turn, this has led to the development of many different products over the last 12 years (most of which have already been mentioned above). Their Limited edition models, the Fourté Noir & in 2022 the Fourté Blanc are living proof that 64 Audio has the means and vision to tap into their creativity and inspire the High End market as a whole.

The sound signatures are so varied between each model that there is sure to be something for everyone in the High End / Audiophile niche. This is one of the reasons why 64 Audio are so popular, with unique sound signatures across their range as well as high resale value, 64 Audio have something to offer that entices every Audiophile out there.

In some cases you can even edit the sound signature yourself and tweak it to your tastes by changing the Apex models. The U6t, U12t & U18t /s are essentially 3 IEMs in one. Internally, each model is a work of decadent craftsmanship and a physical display of what can be achieved when you put your mind to it. We will not go into a detialed list here, but check out reviews on our Blog or the general internet to see just how revered 64 Audio Universals are around the world.

There is an IEM VAC for that

We all know the hidden fact behind IEMs. Yes, they get dirty, sometimes really dirty! And such expensive devices deserve the time and effort to maintain and keep in perfect working order. Blocked nozzles from earwax and lint / other debris is one of the leading causes for IEMs to stop functioning properly. Most people are too afraid to acknowledge any blockage when making warranty claims for IEMs or do not even know what to look for (look inside the nozzle, it will probably be dark yellow/brown and potentially a bit crusty). Ahem, Introducing 64 Audio’s IEM VAC. It won’t stop earwax getting on your in-ears, but it will suck it off them! Watch it in action and learn how to clean your own 64 Audio Customs below.

Our Top 5 64 Audio Product Picks

1 . 64 Audio U12t – £2,149.00

One of the most popular models, the U12t is in the sweet spot for price/performance. The U12t is a superb all-rounder that has enough bass to satisfy most and has plenty of technical prowess too. Almost like a baby U18t, the U12t is very well balanced and even handed with punchy yet dynamic lows, detailed and open midrange and effortless highs. The lows can be tuned with the apex module. The M20 giving a subtle lift in the sub-bass over the default M15. The bass is fast and articulate yet has body and punch too.

2. 64 Audio A18t – £3149.00

The A18t are for those musicians / Audiophiles who love technicalities. Cramming a whole 18 balanced armatures per side, the A18t are somewhat of a statement product. Especially with all the customization options avaliable. If you listen to the A18t for a while, anything else is going to sound veiled and muddy in comparison. They have such a clean and controlled sound signature that is perfect for those who want neutrality. Everything is cranked up to 11. These have headroom to spare and don’t put a foot wrong, whatever you play through them.

3. 64 Audio tia Fourté – £3,599.00

The Fourté pushes the boundaries and shows what’s possible with only 4 drivers. The clarity in the midrange is truly astonishing. What’s even more impressive is how the top end just extends without rolling off at all. Everything sounds very cleanly separated, yet the width and height of the soundstage are unlike any other IEM you will ever hear. If you are looking for a true hi-fi experience, the Fourté deliver. With a more musical yet well balanced sound signature, effortless, crystal clear highs and impeccable soundstaging qualities, they truly are top of the line.

4. 64 Audio U6t– £1,399.00

For the price, 64 Audio have created a brilliant everyday earphone that allows great insight into the recording. With superb clarity and detail retrieval, wrapped up in a smooth, coherent and easy to listen to sound. They are such an easy earphone to live with. Providing a comfortable fit and refined sound that many fail to match, this is proof that 64 Audio really do know what they are doing when it comes to sound. A superb model for the price.

5. 64 Audio tia Trió – £2,299.00

Here we have a very accomplished hybrid design. One that is all about engagement and enjoyment. There is a healthy dose of sub-bass extension helped with great articulation in the mid-bass. This low end gives the Trio a bit of fun factor but without overstepping the line to become fatiguing. The midrange is present, up front and clean, never masked by the more powerful low end. The highs come from the signature tia driver. Which allows effortless extension but they are by no means up front and bright. The highs take a backseat overall. Yet they don’t sound dark, with great detail and impact when called for. The Trio is perfect for those who listen to music with a good bassline to follow. Sound staging is great too, with a good sense of space and perfect imaging. A forgotten gem indeed!

Brand Story: Audeze

Posted on December 21, 2022 by Ben M.

We’re all looking for acoustic perfection and that is something Audeze has strived to achieve from the very beginning. Their first headphone, the LCD-2, received high praise worldwide and the word Audeze became synonymous with any sentence including the word Audiophile. The LCD-2 was and still is heralded in some quarters as the greatest headphones ever made. But Audeze was never never going to be a one hit wonder and stop there. Where there is room for improvement, so too is the strive to create that end-game perfection. That’s the defining characteristic of Audeze: The strive to innovate. With now over 20 products out there it is nearly impossible to not find an Audeze headphone that is 100% tailored to your listening style.

Audeze CRBN

All About Audeze

As you are well aware, Audeze is a California based high-end audio manufacturer known for delivering some of the most accurate sound reproduction products available today. In other words, they specialise in making luxury high-end planar magnetic headphones. Founded in circa 2009 by Alexander Rosson and Sankar Thiagasamudram, their products are designed from the ground up and engineered with the latest innovations in materials & technology. This is paired with precision craftsmanship to produce products with an astonishingly dynamic and immersive sound. Audeze’s commitment to research and development is reflected in every one of their products from the CRBN, LCD-5 to the Maxwell, Euclid and beyond.

What Does Audeze Mean?
Everyone

Audeze’s mission is to “create the best headphones in the world”, that much is clear. But everyone hears differently, so how can there possibly be “The One Headphone to Rule Them All” so to speak? Drumroll…. There’s not! Audeze’s real mission is to create the best headphone in the world for everyone out there, this is why there is not one Flagship Model but 4 and all manner of products in between.

Audeze LCD-5 Earcup Elements

Making Planar Magnetic Fashionable Again

Audeze’s continued innovation in planar magnetic driver technology has produced plenty of options for audiophiles, gamers, music makers alike. A popular thing in the 70’s, Audeze has managed to bring back / reinvent this technology not only as a USP but with the belief that Planar Magnetic is the way to go for great sounding headphones. This hunch, or commitment has been justified by not only the brand’s success but how others are now emulating what Audeze does day to day. Audeze’s continued innovation in planar magnetic driver technology in open or closed back, over-the-ear & in-ear products has produced plenty of options for everyone, with both small and large budgets.

Just what are planar magnetic drivers? Instead of a coil of wire, there is a thin membrane separated by an array of magnets in front and behind. When electrical sound signals are sent to the membrane it starts to move/ vibrate, thanks to the magnetic field and as a result it produces sound. For the benefits and negatives of this technology, you will need to go down a rabbit hole on the internet.

The Odyssey of Audeze: How do you pronounce it?
…is it Awwdeez or Awe-de-ze or Oh-de-sea?
Please let us know in the comments, we would really like to know!

Flagship Models

Just what are they? “The culmination of decades of research and development. Featuring our Nano-scale or carbon nanotube diaphragms, Fluxor™ magnet arrays, and Uniforce™ voice coils, Audeze’s Flagship series represents the pinnacle of audiophile technology.

LCD-5 – “The very definition of Uncompromised Audio. Representing more than 40 years of research and development in planar magnetic headphone technology, the LCD-5 stands in a class of its own.”

LCD-4Z – “Experience the unrivaled audio quality of our Flagship LCD-4 without the need for an amplifier. No other headphone in the world features such a robust and musically engaging sound signature in such an efficient package.”

CRBN ELECTROSTATIC – “Featuring the most advanced electrostatic technology in decades, the CRBN electrostatic headphone features a new Patent-pending polymer film with suspended carbon nanotubes for sparkling clarity, incredible transparency, transient speed, and bass response.”

LCD-i4 – “Represents the pinnacle of both audio quality and technological innovation for In Ear Monitoring. This groundbreaking in-ear headphone features the same Nano-Scale Uniforce diaphragm found in our LCD-4 and 4z. Paired with our powerful Fluxor magnet array to offer one of the most responsive, detailed, engaging, and immersive listening experiences in the world.”

There is also an In-Ear Series featuring the Euclid, LCDi4 & the LCDi3. On top of these wonderful products there is a whole other beast in Gaming. Gaming is a fast rising market trend and has become an explosive market in the last 10 years. Audeze have managed to tap into this gaming-orientated audiophile quality headphone market, where hearing footsteps is the one thing between life and death (online).

Some of the top gaming headphones out there!

Both the Mobius and the LCD-GX are very different gaming headsets from each other, but that’s part of the beauty of them. Not only have both been considered some of the top gaming headphones out there (thanks to their state-of-the-art technology, design and that remarkable Audeze sound quality). They are both designed with specific uses and people budgets in mind. So gamers can really get the best quality possible within their means.

Introducing Maxwell

Maxwell is an evolved (and seriously upgraded) successor to the Audeze Penrose gaming headset. The great news for gamers out there is that all their feedback from the Penrose/ Penrose X has been absorbed by Audeze and the changes made with the Maxwell are considerable. It has a chassis made of aluminum and steel (longevity +++). The integrated battery will also last up to 80 hours and if you forget to charge your headset, a 20 minute charge will get the headset to work for a full day (Battery +++! In addition to this, a new noise filter has been integrated (FILTER™ is Audeze tech).

Dolby Atmos is also supported, but this only applies to the Xbox version or for use on the PC. The microphone is also detachable. It is a boom microphone with hypercardioid characteristics (think broadcasting microphones) that has 5 beamforming mics integrated too. So yes, when it gets sweaty on the battlefield, you will still sound clear as day. More info here

Award-winning Audeze 90mm planar magnetic drivers

A real plus on the forthcoming Maxwell are Audeze 90mm planar magnetic drivers. These have already received a number of awards and, because of their size, will provide a fantastic sound for gaming, delivering powerful bass and pinpoint precision. It must be noted that many other popular gaming headsets only use 40 mm drivers here. The drivers are supplemented by other extra tech in the equipment list such as: Uniforce voice coils, fluxor magnets and Fazor waveguides.

In layman’s terms, the integrated technology will provide high-resolution sound with bit rates of up to 96 kHz / 24 bit. This applies to the connection of the headset via USB as well as with Bluetooth 5.3. When using Bluetooth, there will be many advantages compared to current 2.4 GHz technology.

Brand Story: Campfire Audio

Posted on November 29, 2022 by Ben M.

Over the last 7 years, Campfire Audio has become one of the biggest names in the IEM world. Their iconic designs are immediately recognizable and with a diverse lineup of products they are able to provide options for every music lover out there. They have proven that with unwavering determination and attention to detail, success can be achieved on merit alone. Famous for many products, most notably the Andromeda and more recently the Trifecta, all Campfire Audio Earphones and IEMs are hand-assembled in their Portland, Oregon workshop. When it comes to performance and finish, Campfire Audio products are at the top of the pedestal.

Campfire Audio Solaris 2020

About the Campfire Audio journey

The journey of Campfire Audio began in 2009 with a man named Ken Ball and a company called Audio Line Out (also known as ALO Audio). Kens dedication and hard work ethic resulted in ALO Audio being recognised for creating some of the best audio cables in the world and more importantly, a brand that had gained trust from its customers and fans that it still retains this day. In short, ALO Audio’s passion for quality audio reproduction was the driving force behind the creation of Campfire Audio. A bit like “well we do all this already with cables etc, so why not make earphones!?”.

By building up a highly motivated group of skilled craftsmen and developing their own unique aesthetic, Campfire Audio’s relentless experimentation with materials and technology resulted in them providing something extraordinary in the summer of 2015 with their first product releases, The Jupiter, Orion and Lyra.

Since 2015, Campfire has created and refined over 45 IEMs in a wide range of sound signatures and aesthetics.

The Campfire Universe keeps expanding

As Campfire Audio grew and developed over time, it has continuously improved upon its own ideas and prototypes. In turn, this has led to the development of many different products over the last 7 years. The Campfire Audio Andromeda, Solaris, Ara, Polaris, and Trifecta are just a few of their most famous exemplary products out there. Each earphone and headphone released from them is a result of infinite repetitions, extreme testing and tweaking of the performance and doing absolutely everything in between until it is “perfection”.

The sound signatures are so varied between each model that there is sure to be something for everyone. You can find out what model is exactly for you here. When you buy a Campfire Audio earphone, you immediately own a world-class earphone that comes from a company which stands fully behind the product it builds. Each one is a work of modern art.

There’s a Custom for that

Campfire Audio also dabble in the custom earphone market. Bringing their spectacular designs and incredible sound profiles to fit your ears perfectly if you want it. You want crisp detail and reference sound? Then the Solstice is your eclipse. After bombastic dynamics? Hello Equinox my old friend. Or are you after something more velvety with a refined performance? Then look no further and absorb the elegance of the planar Supermoon.

Campfire Audio have issued 19 special edition IEMs, many of them limited to less than 200 units, and some with as few as 8 in existence; creating unique rarities for Campfire fans worldwide.
Campfire Audio History – Fun Fact

Brand Story: Final

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Ben M.

Coming from Japan, Final is a High-end audio brand with a minimalist style and an aim to give their customers the best in class when it comes to audio quality. No matter the price point. Well loved and with a loyal fan base in its native Japan, Fnal has been making strides into Europe and the USA over the last decade. Becoming a household name for Audiophiles, they have recently broken into the more mainstream consumer markets with their Wireless product range. Winning awards for their affordability, style and sound quality along the way.

About Final

Established in 2007, Final’s first earphones were released onto the market in 2009 and their first Final branded headphone was released in 2013. They are a very modern company, making use of high precision Japanese engineering and adopting cutting edge technology such as 3D printing. This in turn aids their now famous and unrivalled focus on finesse and accuracy.

A name for itself amongst the audiophile world over the last 10 years

This company wide attention to detail, alongside their stylistic minimalist approach to their products has resulted in Final carving a name for itself amongst the audiophile world over the last 10 years. In addition to this, further recognition amongst the general consumer market, most recently with their “Best Most Affordable Wireless Headphone 2022” award from TechRadar for their UX3000 has further enhanced the brands image in the western world’s mainstream.

They are finally starting to get the recognition they deserve in this general consumer space. This is because their products in all price categories from £19.99 to £4000+ fulfil their mission to provide the highest quality of audio design. That “Final magic” reviewers often write about is something very real, and it would be remiss to not try out what they offer.

Final D8000 Pro Limited Edition

Collaboration series

As Final gained more renown worldwide and a reputation for producing great audio devices, they have begun to collaborate with other Japanese cultural exports to create unique products. Without a doubt, these are as collectable as they come and they are great “Final” products themselves. For example, the collaboration between Final and the anime show Evangelion uses the characters Mechas as a motif. So each model (there are now 6 in the wild!) are totally unique with the earphone chassis and case. Not only can people get something that reflects their favourite character, the voice signals in each device, such as “power on” are also recorded by the actors that play the characters these devices represent.

Final have taken this approach further with a recent collaboration with Ultraman and in the coming months, there is sure to be even more collaborations with other Japanese cultural icons that are already popular culture in the western world. As big as Naruto or Pokémon? Hold your breath, because it is going to blow your mind.
