64 Audio u12t Review - $2k IEM?

How does a $2000 IEM sound? As good as a $2000 set of headphones? I had the chance to give 64 Audio’s u12t a try (thanks to a friend of the channel). Just a disclaimer that this is the first really high end IEM I’ve tried, so I don’t have any similarly priced IEMs to compare it to. My question is really can they compete with similarly priced headphones; in some ways they do, but in others I’d say not really. 0:00 - intro 0:35 - opening the box 3:00 - beginning of review 7:45 - closing thoughts Some of the things mentioned in the video (affiliate links): 64 Audio’s Website: https://www.64audio.com/products/u12t 64 Audio U12t: https://headphones.com/products/64-au...
