64 Audio traces its roots to 2010, when sound engineer Vitaliy Belonozhko founded 1964 Ears in his spare bedroom in Portland, Oregon. Frustrated with the limitations of existing in-ear monitors compared to traditional floor wedges, Belonozhko—a veteran of over a decade working with Northwest musicians and production companies—began crafting custom solutions. His initial project involved disassembling his own IEMs to build a pair for his wife, sparking a family-driven venture fueled by his passion for music. Rebranded as 64 Audio, the company marked its 15th anniversary in 2025, evolving from humble origins into a global force now based in Vancouver, Washington.
The brand specializes exclusively in premium in-ear monitors (IEMs), eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or other hi-fi categories. Renowned for proprietary innovations like tia™ technology, which enhances sound clarity and reduces distortion, 64 Audio delivers custom and universal-fit models tailored for stage monitoring and critical listening. These IEMs prioritize comfort, reliability, and sonic precision, with multi-driver configurations that capture every nuance of live and recorded music.
Positioned firmly in the high-end niche, 64 Audio commands respect among GRAMMY-winning artists, front-of-house engineers, studio producers, and discerning audiophiles worldwide, with products sold in 92 countries. Its reputation rests on relentless innovation, technical excellence, and a mission to deepen musical connection—"Hear. Feel. Create."—making it the go-to for professionals and enthusiasts demanding uncompromising performance.
