Nothing comes close to the 64Audio A18t, when it comes to sound accuracy and pinpoint stage precision. Music Directors will love the A18t’s clean and precise sound alongside the unbeatable comfort and fit provided by 64Audio’s custom-molded 3D Fit shells.
The A18t is an 18-driver monstrosity featuring eighteen finely-tuned Balanced Armature drivers which include 64Audio’s patented Tia high driver. Eight of these drivers are dedicated to the low frequencies to ensure a punchy and powerful bass response, while the other eight drivers handle the midrange and deliver thick, detailed, and clear instrument reproduction. The dedicated Tia high driver allows the A18t to extend freely towards the highest frequencies minus the harshness associated with a high-frequency extension.
Even more impressive is the A18t’s soundstage and imaging performance. The A18t projects a massive soundstage, giving instruments enough space to resonate freely for a truly immersive listening experience. Pick out sounds within the soundscape and pinpoint where sounds are coming from with ease - something Music Directors will find very valuable.
The A18t doesn’t just sound great, it also offers great comfort and fit. Built using 64Audio’s ultra-precise 3D printing technology, the A18t delivers enhanced noise isolation and comfort. With 64Audio’s Apex Venting technology, you can enjoy the best the A18t has to offer without fatigue or discomfort.

Musicians know a thing or two about great sound, and if it's the great sound you need, then look no further than Nathan East’s signature IEM, the 64Audio N8.

Driving the N8’s smooth sound is a nine-driver setup consisting of a dynamic driver and eight precision Balanced Armature drivers. All nine drivers are tuned to deliver a textured, musical sound, highlighted by a powerful, deep-reaching low-end response, alongside a smooth yet accurate midrange and treble.
Orchestras cover a wide range of frequencies, featuring deep, rumbling bass notes produced by instruments like the Tuba and delicate high-frequency sounds created by stringed instruments like violins. The 64Audio N8 reproduces these notes effortlessly to give music directors the sound they need to head a grand performance orchestras are known for.
Price: from $499.00
In-ear monitors need to deliver the perfect combination of sound and comfort to become truly legendary in the eyes of die-hard audiophiles and professional musicians.
On that note, the Bellos Audio X-Series IEMs are nothing short of exceptional, offering unbeatable comfort with high-quality matte shells, comfort-centric technologies, and accurate sound.
One of the headline features of the X-Series IEM is its modular driver design. The X-Series IEMs come in three variants: X2, X3, and the X4. The X2 features twin BA drivers, while the X3 offers two BA drivers plus a 6mm Dynamic Driver for enhanced low-end response. The flagship X4 IEM adds a BA driver on top of what the X3 has alongside the same 6mm dynamic driver. Regardless of the variant, X-Series IEMs are tuned to deliver a warm-neutral sound signature, featuring punchy and clean bass with accurate vocal and instrumental reproduction.
The X-Series IEMs are loaded with technologies, most of which are designed to give you the most comfortable listening experience possible. In-Air Canals offer unbeatable insertion comfort while the 3D printed matte finish shells guarantee a soft, comfortable on-ear feel. ATOM Venting enhances comfort further by releasing extra ear canal pressure for lasting comfort.

The Ronin is Noble Audio’s most accurate-sounding IEM to date. Specifically tuned to deliver studio-reference sound, the Ronin is the perfect in-ear monitor for music directors who want the best sound quality for live performances.
Driving the Ronin’s detailed sound is a BA + EST driver hybrid setup featuring four Sonion BA drivers for the sub-bass and bass, four Knowles BA Drivers for the mid-low and midrange, and two Sonion EST drivers for ultra-crisp high and super-high frequencies.
The Ronin’s bass sounds tight and punchy, with just enough sub-bass rumble to keep things engaging. The midrange is exceptional - the forward tuning here pushes vocals and instruments to the forefront, allowing for incredibly detailed voices and life-like instrumentation. Soundstage is immersive, projecting an accurately-sized soundscape for orchestras or any other type of music.
Build quality and comfort are top-notch with the Ronin. The two-piece resin shells are bonded seamlessly and offer a smooth finish, while the faceplates feature a striking blue and black tinsel accent throughout the entire shell. Comfort is good for a relatively large IEM and better than most in-ear monitors of the same size. Weight is a little on the high side, but nothing some good ear tips can’t help with.
Music directors who want the best sound possible and don’t mind a relatively larger and bulkier IEM should give the Ronin a closer look. Its flat and accurate sound signature is perfect for extracting every detail from delicate instruments such as those found in orchestras.
Price: $999.00
The $1000 price range is a sweet spot for IEMs. At this price range, you get great options like the THIEAUDIO Monarch MKIII, which boasts endgame levels of resolution, detail, and sound accuracy. Music directors looking for great sound at under $1000 need look no further than this IEM.
The THIEAUDIO Monarch MKIII is the third iteration of THIEAUDIO’s legendary Monarch line. New for the Monarch MK3 is the updated dynamic driver setup which now comes in an isobaric configuration for deeper rumbles and powerful bass impacts you can feel. The updated tuning enhances Monarch MKIII’s musicality to give you a combination of enjoyable sound for casual music listening and accurately detailed audio for professional studio or stage work.
Like previous Monarch IEMs, the MKIII offers incredible clarity and timbre in the midrange. Instruments sound full, life-like, and detailed - the type of sound music directors and sound engineers will find very appealing. The soundstage of the MKIII is wide and deep, with phenomenal positional accuracy to give you a transparent rendering of the entire soundscape.
The Monarch MKIII offers great comfort for those with medium to large ears. If you have smaller ears, you might have to try several different ear tips to get the perfect fit. Otherwise, the Monarch MKIII’s ergonomic shell design and relatively light weight make it easy to wear for extended periods without issues.
Price: $3,900.00
Want the most accurate sound and tone from bass to treble? The THIEAUDIO Monarch MKIII is the in-ear monitor you want.
THIEAUDIO’s Monarch MKIII is the third iteration of their legendary flagship-killer IEM. New for the Monarch MKIII is an updated driver configuration, tuning, cable, and aesthetics. All these changes have made the MKIII the best Monarch yet.
Powered by dual IMPACT2 Dynamic Drivers, six Balanced Armatures, and two Electrostatic Drivers, the Monarch MKIII delivers an incredible speaker-like sound experience with deep rumbling bass, clear and life-like mids, and sparkly yet smooth treble.
Keyboard players will love the Monarch MKIII’s incredibly accurate sound reproduction. Synth sounds are detailed and energetic with good detail, while low-end frequencies sound big and powerful. Every note from the bass to the treble is reproduced with unbelievable resolution and accuracy, allowing the MKIII to project an immersive experience to the listener.
Comfort is another high point for the Monarch MKIII. Despite packing ten drivers in each shell, the Monarch MKIII manages to feel lightweight and comfortable in the ear. Throw in your favorite ear tips and enjoy the Monarch MKIII without discomfort.
Amazing customer service. Adam went into great detail with his experience on these IEMs. Would definitely go to him again!
Good communication throughout the process with fast shipping.
It's such a pleasure doing business with Adam and Lauren that I am honestly looking for an excuse to buy more equipment there. I don't really have a good personal audio store anywhere around; and while I am not exactly morally opposed to Amazon or whatever, it's so much nicer dealing with real people and a small business. I cannot even imagine what else I could ask for.
Great work, to communicate every step along the way. Very personal touch. I will visit the office one day to personally thank them. I love the website. I love the product. I love the state where they are located. Awesome awesome awesome!
Everything went really smoothly and I'm enjoying the headset I purchased. It shipped quickly and arrived well packaged. I had a question about my purchase and received a quick response from the seller. I would buy from HiFiSoundGear again.
Unexpected as in very pleasantly surprised at the sound quality coming out of these :)
I took my Mega5-EST and hooked em up wirelessly and don't miss the wire sound AT ALL!! IMO the wireless sound was 98% of the wired sound without the PIA of the wire. Unless you have some amazing source gear, which thanks to Adam at hifisoundgear I do, you would be hard pressed to hear a massive difference. Especially with a phone as your source.
I did A/B noble Fokus Prestige vs Go pod w Mega 5 and gotta say l, there is more balanced sound with the Go pod chain then the Prestige on its own. To be fair the Mega 5 punches WAY above its price... so the 2 are a match made in heaven.
I find the connection very stable as well. I've used my iPhone AAC/SBC as well as with FiiO BT11 to get other than Apple codecs and was pleasantly surprised as well.
The ear hooks are very comfortable. Actually prefer them to the wire hanging over my ear with a tie behind my neck. For some reason that's hard to get used to and pulls as I wear loose shirts. The hooks stay in as I like to move around a bit. Also the weight is better distributed than other wireless IEMs as the components are in the hooks. The prestige, unless I have foam tips, which I'm not a fan of, will pop out of my ears when I move around. These stay stable and I do not have to re-seat the IEMs to get that great bass nearly as often with other wireless IEMs.
Battery level has been all day 10 hrs so far with intermittent breaks and still have 28% left.
The case also is deep enough to fit the Mega w hooks as it charges which is very convenient. Some IEMs may be too big but they fit with a tad bit of room to spare.
Of course having the flexibility to swap out your favorite IEMs as needed is awesome!!
5 stars for the Go pod and more importantly 5 stars to Adam and his team for such amazingly awesome customer service!! You guys ROCK!! Thanks :)
The iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is an absolute masterpiece in the world of portable amps. It delivers an audio experience that redefines what’s possible in a compact, travel-friendly device.
To all the "haters" out there who mention that the 5180mw output is an overstatement and the "balanced" is not a true balanced output... I say whatever... it drives anything I throw at it with aplomb! FostexTH900mk2, ZMF Caldera Open and Closed, ANY IEM my friends and I have tried ...too many to list. If you need more power than this portable titan.... well you may have hearing loss. And it drives all I mentioned without using "beast mode" (they refer to it as Nitro (1 of 3 settings)). If anything, it could use a lower gain option / IEM match for some sensitive IEMs.
The implementation of BT 5.4 (supports all codecs) is a welcomed addition for quality, but in general, the distance it can be from the source is very small for consistency. That is not a Diablo issue, but a BT5.4 issue IMO.
As for the sound quality...simply unparalleled. I have compared this to desktop headphone amps in the same price range and I would put it toe to toe with them. It even ran close to my buddy's Burson Soloist 3x!!! and the Diablo 2 is portable :)
I run it using A&K SP3000T and it oozes warmth and richness in the lows and highs WITHOUT covering/smoothing anything up in the mids, which is my jam.
It is on the heavier side and will still fit in a pocket... barely. built like a brick. At the limit of what I would like to carry but totally worth it! I get about 6 hours of the 8 rated battery with constant listening, no Bluetooth on, hard wired, IEMs / Caldera tested on the battery life.
In conclusion, the iFi Audio iDSD Diablo 2 is nothing short of extraordinary. It’s the ultimate portable amp for those who refuse to compromise on sound quality, power, or versatility. If you’re serious about your audio and want the best experience on the go, the Diablo 2 is the perfect choice.
Shout out to Adam, a massive THANK YOU!!! for your absolutely OVER THE TOP customer service and shopping experience :) :) Seriously, your dedication and attention to detail have been nothing short of exceptional.
With all the online ordering over the years, HifiSoundGear provides the best service I have encountered. It was as though they were good friends. They responded so nicely to all my questions about the product and shipment. As it works out, while I liked the IEM's, I concluded they were not sufficiently different from the ones i had been using. Again, for the process of returning and getting a refund, they could not have been nicer. Buying from them was a first rate experience.
Recently had a great experience with Adam and Laura. I requested a price match for the FiR KR5 and it was such a painless process. Adam and Laura’s communication is top notch! Adam even sent me a personal thank you video. In my experience, this level of service is hard to come by these days. I highly recommend going through HifiSoundgear for your audio needs….I know I will be going forward! Thanks Adam and Laura!
The quality of service, level of help provided, and overall customer satisfaction is beyond anything I have experienced. I cannot say enough good things about the people who belong to this company!
As for the U4S, these are my first foray into 64 Audio but I am SO thankful that I got to experience them! My goodness the soundstage, bass response from the m15 module, and overall quality is just great!
Please, buy from these wonderful people! And if you can swing it, get a set of U4S! You will not regret it!
Only complaint is the cable. For the price, I expected better, but it works well and is just fine.
Thank you HiFi Sound Gear! I look forward to purchasing more from you in the future!
These are the closest TWS gets to pure IEM listening. You get the wide soundstage. They scale quickly. They have that satisfying bass slam often missing in TWS. The layering is just right and resolution is mesmerizing. Oh yes, you get the convenience of taking them on the go and they are truly comfortable. Noble has achieved a superior status in my eyes with the FoKus Prestige. I look forward to listening to them on my walks when I don’t have to take my DAP. Adam is one of the greats in this business. His commitment to customer service is exceptional. You aren’t a customer, but a client. He helped me after losing my first pair and just went above and beyond to ensure that I was shipped a new pair in less than two days. I am completely satisfied and impressed. You will be too. Thank you and looking forward to my future purchases from your establishment.
