64 Audio - A6t

I used these for 6 years before I got some custom molded IEM’s from 64audio. IEM’s are insane but expensive unfortunately. If someone’s on a budget the 990’s are a solid option too

IEMs from 64 audio (A6T) blow any over the ear headphones out of the water Ive experienced

These KZ’s are super standard for entry level in-ears. I know some pros who use them and actually prefer them to $$ custom molded ones, just because they don’t have to worry about babying them compared to the super high dollar stuff. I’ve used them a little and i think they’re great; it’s a great stepping stone until you can afford some real nice custom stuff from a company like 64 Audio. My daily drivers for in-ear gigs is the 64 audio A6t, and I love them - and man oh man do they sound good plugged straight in to synths too. Just be careful with that gain 😬

For my blues and jazz bands, I tend to prefer amps and wedges. For just about everything else, I prefer in ears. I understand the need to be budget conscious, but when you get to the point that you can affod custom molded in ears with 3 or more good drivers per side, you are entering a new world of audio clarity. I am now using a pair of 64 Audio a6Ts, and this is like nothing I have ever used before. They are so sensitive that I only need to turn the volume up to a low setting on any output. Note - I am a bassist, and I would recommend NOT getting ear buds that have a lot of bass response. If all you hear is simulated low end, it (in my experience) comes out muddy and poorly defined. Rather, put a high pass filter (HPF) on your output channel at somewhere from 30-60 Hz (experiment with what works for you and whatever tuning you use) and instead listen for the harmonic information an octave higher. This is what you actually hear when "bass" is being produced by most speakers in your day to day life. It will take time to get the balance of everthing right. It will take time to feel comfortable playing with them in. But once you get there, you will be able to relax and play with finesse and a light touch on stage.

Hear me out. I have the 64a A6t customs. From Crinacle’s recommendation (IEM reviewer) I bought the Moondrop Chu II for $20 from Amazon. Believe me when I tell you these IEMs are amazing! The clarity in them is insane and the main difference with my other pair is that the the A6ts are a bit warmer overall. I was SUPER doubtful of another cheaper IEM pair but the Moondrop is truly the exception (the contruction is not even plastic). Just make sure with all IEMs you clean them every so often to avoid blockages.

Please dont buy shure iems. KZ or Moondrop for 1/2 price and x10 sound quality. Pick a comfortable priceclass from kz and moondrop and you will get your money very worth. Source: I have owned several shure iems, terrible quallity and sounds terrible. I have owned a few pairs both kz and moondrop and tested more of their models. Now owner of $2k audio64 molded inears.

That’s 64 audio’s whole thing. They built a port with filters into their iems. Essentially acts like having a molded earplug with set db filters (believe they have 12, 15, 20, and solid) that passes signal through it.
