A SoundGuys reviewer tested the 64 Audio Solo open planar-magnetic in-ear monitors ($1,399 MSRP) for competitive gaming. The author praises the all-metal build, soft 3.5mm and 4.4mm braided copper cables, and high sound clarity that helps isolate footsteps and team chat in titles like Marvel Rivals and Apex Legends. However, the reviewer notes the model scored just below the 4.4 category average on general-listener MDAQS benchmarks and offers poor value for money. For budget-conscious FPS gamers, the author instead recommends the Oriveti BLEQK Dynabird (reported at $99.99 on Amazon).

## Media review

SoundGuys’ reviewer found the 64 Audio Solo’s clarity effective for competitive gaming and critical listening, but says its $1,399 price makes it a poor fit for value-focused buyers.
