Packaging and Accessories

64 Audio is fairly consistent about its product packaging so I was not surprised to see the product box for the new Volür IEMs use a decorative outer sleeve that is customized to the model and shows the company logo and product name on the front to go with a render of the IEMs in all their splendor. What was different here is an iridescent layer applied to the lettering on the top that changes color depending on the incident light. An exploded wireframe illustration on the back shows what goes into the making of each of these units and the various patented technologies are also listed here. I would have liked to see product specs as well as perhaps a factory frequency response curve—easier said than done on such products with Apex module support though. The brand slogan is seen on the side and the inner box also has a sticker with the specific unit's serial number on it. Slide it out to reveal a thick dark blue cardboard box with the logo on top—iridescent again—and the same slogan on the side.


A magnetic clasp keeps this box closed neatly from the side, and it opens up to reveal a printed welcome note from the founder of the company on the inner lining. The other side contains a thick foam sheet with machined cutouts to snugly fit and protect the contents. The Volür, as with the U12t and U18t at least, has the contents arranged differently from the U4s and Duo. We get two circular sections with the top hosting most of the accessories and the lid of the carry case whereas the bottom contains the IEMs individually placed in another thick foam piece and the rest of the accessories alongside or underneath in the main body of the carry case itself. The shiny unboxing experience continues with an iridescent logo sticker to accompany a more plain B+W one. We also get a cleaning tool, a clasp/clip to help secure the cable to your clothing, and the spare Apex modules we will get to shortly.


When it comes to ear tips, 64 Audio provides some wider bore, softer flange silicone tips that sell for $6 for a set of two, some Spinfit silicone tips with longer, colored bores and a stiffer outer flange, and the so-called TrueFidelity high-density foam tips that cost $15 for three pairs of your chosen size. This makes for some fairly expensive ear tips that themselves total more than some IEMs. These all come in sizes S, M, and L so try out what works best for you.


The carry/storage case that comes with the 64 Audio Volür adopts a cylindrical puck form factor which has been employed to good success before by many others and is the same case that we saw shipped with the other 64 Audio IEMs reviewed here before. This means I can at least attest to its durability over a longer period of time, having used one consistently for over an year now, although I can see some people wanting to see a more premium set differ in its unboxing and accessories compared to a less expensive one from the same brand. The case uses bonded leather, which is effectively a higher grade simulation leather with a blend of actual leather, and comes off more premium looking to where the $50 asking price for the case is not unreasonable if I say so myself. It has the company logo embossed on top with good quality stitching throughout and has plenty of felt-lined room inside for the IEMs, some spare ear tips, the Apex modules, and even the cleaning brush if you pack efficiently. On the flip side, the case is not the easiest to carry around in your pockets given its size and is best used inside another bag.
