64 Audio Volur REVIEW! 

Yeah I kinda forgot to mention it's gorgeous.

I will have the Volur and the $13 Tin C0, doing blind listening tests.

@@SuperReview ooh, that sounds like fun!! I'm so in!

I personally prefer Trio.

@@SuperReview Can you elaborate pls, there is a faint chance I will be able to demo them both, but in case I woudn't be able to your more thorough assesment would help a lot

Someone will!

I'm using OBS to switch cameras. Using the built-in webcam on my MacBook for the head shot, and using my iPhone with Apple's "Continuity Camera" feature for the overhead shot. The iPhone is on a tripod. And yeah, I have a small light. If you hit me up on Discord I can share a pic of the small setup.

@@SuperReview thanks! I don't use discord. Maybe you could share a community post that would help others too 😅

Whatcha looking forward to most?

I could see the discount now… “save $50”. And believe me, I’d appreciate any discount, but I doubt this would ever land in my budget ever in my life

Two ways: (1) You can use the pin icon on the active graphs UI to pin one before clicking the second. (2) On a computer, you can middle-click to append a second target rather than replace the existing one.

What do you appreciate about the IPX connector?

How does this also compare to the u4s? It seems to have a similar sound as the u4s with a focus on bass with upper treble zing

It's been literally years since I heard the Trio so I don't really trust my own impressions, but from memory the Trio tuning is more my style. Vs. U4s, the Volur is significantly more incisive and well-defined, U4s is not strongest there.

The U4s comes across a bit more midsy in its tune, so I'd have to lean U4s for tuning. Meteor is quite different, warmer, thicker, less technical sound.

Thank you Mark, I am still quite hooked on Meteor, maybe not as detailed, but I hear everything, as Hobby talk says. There is so much beautiful things about that sound, plus the approach to give you little speakers to your ears not earphones...love it. I want to hear Crimson now.I think they accomplished the speakers in ears there❗️😁🙋‍♂️🙏p.s really want to add U4s to my collection

Mm Z1R maybe a denser sound with less upper treble zing, a bit more natural in timbre but also less spacious.

@@SuperReview thanks for your feedback. It would be ages till I can get a demo of the Volur but I think the Z1R are still great for me

Yeah I don't really understand it, something about the two drivers moving the same air volume allows them to operate at reduced power and thus reduced distortion, yaddy-yadda. I think the bass on this, Blessing 3, and even Solis 2 are quite good, and all advertise isobaric designs. The Hype 2 bass is fun, but doesn't have the same tightness despite also advertising the same design.

Isobaric configurations don’t affect cone area; the first driver is completely isolated and no sound will be heard from it. You have an enclosure divided into two unequally sized chambers (or one if the drivers are mounted cone to cone). With one driver in the first, and largest enclosure firing into the 2nd smaller enclosure which the driver you see and hear is mounted in. Both drivers move together. This way they work together, the first driver is doing nothing but making it easier for the 2nd to do its job as the air in the smaller enclosure (that the driver you hear is mounted in) isn’t constantly being pressurized and depressurized like in a normal single driver enclosure; the air volume and pressure is nearly constant. In a normal configuration pressure builds the farther the cone travels forwards and backwards from the resting position (when it moves forwards/backwards from resting the internal air volume of the enclosure increases/decreases by an amount equal to cone area multiplied by distance of travel, without changing the amount of air inside the enclosure) which stretches/compresses the air inside the enclosure; the farther the cone moves outwards the more the air inside the enclosure is stretched and the more resistance there is to the cone’s continued outwards movement. The farther the cone moves inwards the more the air is compressed etc. By using an isobaric configuration you are nearly eliminating the resistance of the air inside the enclosure to the cone’s movement meaning it will move in a more linear manner. Obviously this doesn’t eliminate that entirely as those forces still apply to the first, and completely sealed off, driver but it nearly does if designed properly for the drivers used. But in an IEM they’re probably using a cone-to-cone configuration given that it takes up less space. One driver mounted in an enclosure like normal with the 2nd driver mounted pretty much directly to it with their cones facing each other (speakers don’t have fronts or backs. It’s just not very practical to mount a speaker into a cabinet with the magnets on the outside). *Edit: that only applies to lower frequencies. If it’s a very closed-in basket or are playing higher frequencies enough this becomes not so true.* This way one voiced coil/magnet is pushing while the other is pulling. Just like having a speaker with a magnet/coil mounted on both sides of the cone working together. 2 motors rather than 1.

I mean, if you're gonna pay $1,000+ for an IEM, what's another $20 for tips.

My rational exactly! See you this weekend @ CanJam 😎@@SuperReview

​@@SuperReview Those are my favourite. Really wish they had a SS size, though, since they're a bit too girthy for me in the current smallest size. I strongly feel like the 3 size approach is way too coarse and inadequate, especially for audiophile segment of the market. It's just not enough to accommodate for physiological variences in ear anatomy.

Yes, I sleep every night with IEMs :D

@@SuperReview I'd be worried of bending the pins during sleep, especially on such an expensive set

I wouldn't be.

What are good sleeping iems from your experience?

@@garygriffiths7353cheap bullet style iems probably

Ask the manufacturers to do better

> Whispers < Supernova...

@@SuperReview I've seen it but more of wanting to hear it

ThirAudio Prestige LTD, anyone? Is there any chance?

I hate that iem so blannn

That is not a nutshell I would place it into, no.

He reviews much more IEMs from lower price brackets (or am I misunderstanding you?). Anyway, because the "esoteric" stuff of the TOTL world is so expensive, consumers require reviewers to review those expensive products to help the consumers who don't have a "compulsive order to spend" so they won't buy a weird product. The only issue is when reviewers "pretend" the expensive product is good, and "avoid" saying any critiques, then those are unethical reviews.

"This is the reason most very expensive iems are tuned so poorly" bs. you never owned any. it shows. stfu about stuff you never experienced.

@@Viewer13128 no i meant of the TOTL. As in the stuff in the TOTL landscape.

@@Viewer13128 please learn basic English.

​​@@Viewer13128hes saying *of the* TOTL products, he's only reviewed the bad ones.

I hate the long nozzle. It presses into the side of my ear canal and becomes painful. The housing also presses against my crux helix and becomes painful after less than an hour. The only way I've been able to make them comfortable is with some narrow bore tips I found in Japan. I have to go about 3 sizes larger than usual and go with a shallow insertion.

@Lead_Foot good to know. You can't ever sweat and workout . Short insertion always pops out
