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 Aful Dawn-X is 2 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.

What reviewers said

64 Audio Volür

The 64 Audio Volür is a premium hybrid IEM that delivers a powerful, bass-forward sound with impressive dynamics and technical performance. It offers tuning flexibility through its Apex modules, making it a versatile choice for listeners who prioritize low-end impact while still wanting good clarity and detail. However, its bright upper treble can be polarizing, and the included cable doesn't match the quality of the earphones themselves.

Pro:Powerful, tight, and dynamic bass response
Pro:Excellent imaging and a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage
Pro:Tuning flexibility via swappable Apex modules

Con:Upper treble peak may be harsh for sensitive listeners
Con:Cable quality is underwhelming for the price point
Con:Tuning in upper mids and treble can be divisive

Aful Dawn-X

The Aful Dawn-X is a flagship wired IEM with a warm-neutral signature that combines deep, controlled bass with smooth, natural mids and treble. It offers impressive detail retrieval and a spacious soundstage, though its large shells and slightly plasticky build may not suit everyone. Overall, it delivers strong performance that rivals more expensive models in its class.

Pro:Layered, well-controlled bass
Pro:Natural and smooth midrange
Pro:Excellent soundstage and imaging

Con:Large shells may fit poorly for some
Con:Build quality feels less premium than expected
Con:No noise cancellation or wireless options
