Generation & platform

The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?

Same generation

The Campfire Audio Astrolith - Dual Planar IEM is 3 years newer, but it is the same generation of hardware: nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price. For 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said

64 Audio Duo

This universal-fit hybrid earphone pairs a single dynamic driver for lows with a tia driver for highs, aiming to deliver an airy, open-sounding stage in a compact in-ear design. Its semi-open architecture suits those who crave a spacious, speaker-like feel while staying portable. With a low 9-ohm impedance and 98 dB sensitivity, it pairs easily with most sources.

  • Pro:Hybrid driver setup offers clear separation between bass and treble
  • Pro:Lightweight and comfortable for extended listening
  • Con:Semi-open design may leak sound in quiet environments
  • Con:Lacks noise isolation for noisy commutes

Overall, it's a notable step forward in the brand's planar lineup, offering a cohesive and resolving listen for those seeking top-tier wired performance.

  • Pro:Exceptional speed and clarity across the frequency range
  • Pro:Very low distortion and flat impedance for consistent performance
  • Pro:Wide, well-defined soundstage with precise imaging
  • Con:Slight mid-bass bloom can color certain tracks
  • Con:Stock ear tips are not very good and may need replacement
  • Con:Best results require a high-quality source or amplifier
