No gear is worth the exorbitant pricing that manufacturers ask so, like the other user, I stick to the used market. I've owned 5 different 64 audio models and I've liked them all for one reason or another. I love the apex system, venting, they use in their gear; this means that they tend to isolate less than other gear.
I haven't gotten around to trying the U4s yet but I owned the U12t's, U6t's, Nio's, Duo's, and currently the Tia Trio's. I don't recommend the Duo's, I've recently commented on them about why I think they fall short. The U6t's are just fantastic sounding, the Nio's are super versatile, and the U4s are very well received. They can all be had (used) under $1k and occasionally you can find the U12t's around $1k. You can find the U4s open box from retailers with warranty, for under $1k and while I haven't tried them, they seem like a no brainer if you're looking to get into 64 audio gear.
There's a lot of good gear by other manufacturers and 64 Audio certainly isn't the end all - their products just work well for me.
