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.

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 FiR/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.

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.

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.

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.
