64 Audio enters the wild world of planar magnetic IEMs with the new Solo. It uses tech gained over the years and adds a novel implementation of Helmholtz resonators + electronic filter to make for the most controlled and smooth sounding treble of any planar magnetic IEMs I've tried to date. Add to this an open sounding presentation and unique aesthetics, and the Solo is a premium set that should interest many.

Great tech on these little things. It wasn't too long ago that reading a review like this instantly made me realize it was about a $6000+ set.

At $1399 it's much more than I can budget to audio, but as time goes on we should see these technologies come to much more accessible sets.

64 Audio is always pricey as it's a pro brand.

These are interesting and do a couple things other competitors don't. Fun to see a company like 64 dabble in this area.

64 Audio's website states October 17, it's probably a typo.

I don't think it's even that high-priced for the tech in these IEMs. Kinda too much for me, but once this kind of tech makes into the $200 tier, I'll be mighty tempted. My next audio-related purchase will probably be a Sony CD900ST. I've wanted one of those for some time now, but they're extra hard to come by. If I can't find one, probably a regular MDR-7506. You gotta pry my V7's from my cold dead hands, but they're starting to need some maintenance. Being 30+ years old and in heavy use for the past 2 or so...
