Youtube Video Summary
Europa comes as a 4-BA flagship at around $1,600, dressed in a beautifully machined metallic shell with a flat 2-pin, swappable-plug cable that feels supple and well-made. The faceplate is gorgeous and the nozzle is tidy, but the shell is slippery and hard to handle, with no lip or tactile anchors, making fit the biggest wild card here. Packaging on this loaner wasn’t complete, but the cable’s chin slider holds position nicely. Small note for U.S. buyers: there’s an import tax to account for.
Tuning is the draw. Europa tracks J’s target closely with smooth bass, clean mids, and a smart 4–5 kHz dip to keep shout in check, followed by tasteful energy around 5–6 kHz for detail. Versus Symphonium’s Crimson, the retune trims a touch of bass and dials back upper-air brightness for a more refined top end; it reads less fatiguing while staying lively. Compared with other Symphonium sets, Titan pushes too much low-end and can feel muffled, and Meteor skews boomy with not enough treble sparkle—Europa simply measures and sounds more balanced. On the broader field, it trades blows with Monarch (that set comes off a hair cleaner/pristiner, while Europa carries a bit more thump). Even beside the Annihilator—a pricier favorite—there’s a case for Europa’s tonality, which some will find easier and less fatiguing.
Technical chops are strong: plenty of detail, a spacious stage, and bass that feels authoritative without bloat. Imaging is generally good, if occasionally a touch blunted, and the mids, while very solid, don’t pull unique imaging tricks. Overall score sits at about 95/100—a special listen for the right ears. The caveats are the fit and the price; if the shell geometry works for you, Europa can be a top-tier all-rounder. As always, demo if possible—comfort can swing this from “great” to “endgame-adjacent.”

Youtube Video Summary
64 Audio Volür comes across as a tour-de-force of bass tech: dual true isobaric dynamic drivers deliver deep, textured rumble with a “speaker-in-the-room” feel, while the Tia BA adds pronounced upper-treble energy. Ergonomics are excellent—compact metal shells, smooth nozzles that take tips well, and a best-in-class top two-pin connection that makes cable swaps effortless. Build feels built-to-last and the purple faceplate looks classy, though a more varied aesthetic across 64 Audio’s lineup would be welcome.
The APEX modules change flavor more than fundamentals: M20 adds a touch more bass, M15 strikes the best balance, M12 runs leaner, and MX is very flat and generally skippable; running it empty is a hard no. On music, Volür shines with EDM/modern productions, projecting holographic low-end and vivid dynamics; in dense mixes with strong instrumentals and vocals, the midrange can feel overrun and less engaging. Versus peers: U4s tracks similarly in bass level (with different modules), Elysian Annihilator brings stronger 3 kHz vocal presence while Volür counters with superior bass texture, and Monarch MKIII sounds more overtly U-shaped with greater mid/upper energy.
As a package, this is a fantastic IEM—arguably a favorite from 64 Audio—yet not flawless. The price is steep, the APEX ecosystem feels like paid tuning switches, and there’s some treble peaking plus occasional vocal thinness; a simpler, cheaper, M12-style fixed tuning would be a dream. For listeners prioritizing hip-hop, rap, and modern genres, Volür can absolutely be endgame; for vocal-centric or classical libraries, it’s impressive but not definitive. Overall verdict: a five-star recommendation for those who can afford it, anchored by class-leading bass and exceptional build, with clear trade-offs noted.
