Reply to comment by Jmo04 in IEM gangbang by Jmo04

I'm both excited and nervous. It really kills me that I will have about 9-10 weeks before I receive it.

Excited because the A12t/U12t seems to be a chart-topper in terms of "jack of all trades" music enjoyment, short of spending 4-5k on a few crazy niche IEMs. Also excited because it'll fit me without question. So sick of struggling with IEM fittings and tips.

Nervous about the BA bass, as I definitely enjoy some bass quantity. Similarly, I am worried that they will goof something up or my impression won't be good and I get something that doesn't fit well. I've heard it's class-leading BA bass, but hopefully, it'll be pretty close to a dynamic style bass.

Not OP, but Im waiting on a A12T IEM but I do have the A4s and I have tried the U6t, U12T, and the Trio before the sales clerk kinda gave me that look.

The BA bass on the U6T and the U12T dont slap has hard as the dynamic on the A4s, but man they still do slap and it 100% surprised me (seal had a lot do with this, i did a lot tip swapping in the shop to get that seal). I think in terms of the bass you will be 100% pleased with it

Thanks for your thoughts. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ordered the N8 instead, but the resolution and mids of the A12t sound magical.

Wish I could have tested some of them out, but I don't live anywhere near an audio dealer of any sort.

Well it all depends. I really like crinical's IEM target and he mentions that the bass on the N8 was out of control.

the bass on the A4S, is heavy at times, i do switch between the mx and the m15 often enough when the bass burns me out.

64 audio tends to be a bit bass heavy in general but generally balanced. If you are coming from something like a moondrop blessing dusk ... you will definitely notice it..

I dont think you will regret the a12t at all, but unfortunately if you want a bass response that extremely dynamic from the 64 Audio line up, the A4s or the Trio are pretty much your best bet.

But dont second guess yourself, wait for the custom to arrive, and enjoy and cry because man their CIEM are super comfy and its hard to go back to universals.

I’m actually very curious to hear your thoughts on the a4s compared to the u6t

to my ears at least, I used the m15's on both of the earphones at the time and comply foam tips on the u6t.

I had issues with fitment on the silicone tips, but you can tell straight away that its a 64 audio iem, the targets are identical.

The Bass on the u6t had surprising had a good amount of quantity, i was honestly super surprised by this. the U6t decayed quicker than the a4s.

The A4s definitely has bass force, that the u6t didn't have. The mids where a little bit more present of the u6t, or they sounded closer on the stage, where as on the a4s its more relaxed.

The treble sounded similar to me, but its definitely elevated on both.

All and all they are both very good IEMs, I think the u6t is definitely more balanced, abit elevated bass, while the a4s is bit more fun.

The funnest of the bunch I tried was the Trio, its bass response is elevated and the female vocals are a bit closer on the stage(compared to the a4s), that iem really put a smile on my face.

I think fit is the biggest deal breaker for an iem tbh. I’m fairly sure the 12t and 6t use the same BA driver types for the bass but the 6t hits harder. However, there is no need to worry about bass quality here. I’m a bit of a bass head and I actually really enjoy the ba bass on the u6t and could definitely trick anyone into thinking it’s a dynamic driver unless you were some sort of expert. But trust me it’s really good bass

Which apex module do you run in your U6t?

I'm planning to try the m15 and m20 with my A12t, but assume I will end up running the m20.

These modules seem to be very earphone dependent on which is best. I find the m15 to work best with these just for an overall balance. The m20 can be fun and is better for walking around due to isolation but it also muddies the sound signature a bit.

That's definitely fair. I'll have to give them a shot and see what happens. Thanks again for your thoughts.
