Bloom's Take 64 Audio historically has maintained 2 primary designs: high driver count Balanced Armatures for the pros, and low driver count hybrids for audiophiles. But when it comes to bass reference and musical impact, dynamic drivers fit the bill, thus Volür adds a 3rd dimension to the lineup with a 10-driver, dual-dynamic hybrid that builds on Nio’s foundation. Volür's build hits home with durable, attractive aluminum shells and holographic faceplates resulting in one of 64 Audio’s best looking IEMs to date. And despite having 10 drivers crammed into the shell, Volür provides a simple, comfy, lightweight design. And of course, you get the standard 64A package complete with Apex modules and a 2nd holographic sticker. Given the Nio lineage references in Volür's PR statement, we expected these bad boys to deliver dominant, powerful bass in your face. To our surprise, Volür delivers one of the most clean, transparent, neutral tunings we've heard from 64 Audio delivering natural bass with strong extension, full detailed mids with strong note weight and timbre, and at the top, a revealing, well-extended treble with crisp resolution. Additionally, it hits the mark with a wide soundstage and lifelike imaging as well, putting it in the same sonic resolution category as their flagship Fourté. Volür impresses and hits like flagship models with beefier price tags, and thus far, it captures a seat at the table of the "best IEMs of 2023." |
Volür: a Rewarding Evolution
Ushering in a new era of technological innovation, Volür is a 10-driver hybrid universal, building on the heritage of 64 Audio's 1st high-driver count hybrid: Nio (released in 2020.) Joining the ranks of powerhouses like U18s and Fourté, this small package is filled with a massive amount of proven and novel acoustic science.
The heart of Volür is made of 2 new custom 9mm dynamic drivers in a True Isobaric configuration, delivering unprecedented sonic capabilities in the LF band. While 64A's direct radiating tia™ high-driver remains the criterion in HF performance, the new tia™ waveguide optimizes its efficiency while offering greater tuning control.
The outer shell remains the same size with all significant structural changes occurring internally. The faceplate features a sleeker chamfer, and as an homage to the original Nio, a purple abalone chip from New Zealand Paua shells.
64 Audio Proprietary Tech
Tia®
Tubeless In-ear Audio reduces unwanted resonance and distortion for a transparent sound signature. The direct-radiating tia driver is fitted with a new waveguide with special diffusion windows to increase the efficiency and amplitude of the HF band.
LID®
Linear Impedance Design is a patented circuit that corrects non-linear electrical resistance across multiple driver-sets. Inconsistent impedance across varying devices/sources often results in varying frequency response. Restoring proper interaction with the source enables consistent, reliable sound.
Apex®
Air Pressure Exchange is a vent that releases air pressure in the ear canal while retaining standard levels of isolation. This provides listeners with increased comfort, alleviates fatigue, and allows for a more realistic soundstage. The Apex internals for Volür were redesigned to maximize space for the LF bore. Volür comes with 4 modules: mX, m12, m15 and m20.
True Isobaric™
64 Audio's cone-to-magnet isobaric driver config consists of 2 drivers connected by an acoustically inert coupling chamber resulting in better damping, lower distortion, twice the power handling, and extended LF response. A new 9mm dynamic driver was created with an upgraded magnet and Ti Cone to increase sensitivity. An acoustic low-pass filter originally developed for Fourté Blanc was used to further shape the sound.
