hey guys, so i have a set of fearless audio s8f. i really like them, but one of my friends told me i dont know squat and i need to get some 64 audio iems. now, those are stupid expensive, like double the price of mine and with half the drivers!!! i know its not the size... i mean, its not the number of drivers but the quality i guess? but do you guys know how do the 64 audio below 1000usd compare to the fearless audio s8f? is it just snake oil or its def a good improvement?

They're not worth 2x of chi fi brands, but the reason they are is because they pay real wages.

And build quality, QC, after sale warranty support, and repair programs outside of warranty.

Are 64Audio IEMs worth the premium over Chifi brands based purely on sound? Fuck no lol

But they may be worth the premium when you take the totality of the product and ownership experience into account.
