The Moritz Enzo is a tribrid IEM retailing at $1400 USD with a 10mm DD, six BAs (not Sonion or Knowles), and dual planar drivers as supertweeters. It has an impedance of 11 ohms and sensitivity of 107.6 dB SPL/mW at 1kHz. Thanks to IEM Tour Group Europe (ITGE) for the chance to hear this one.
The set has two tuning switches; I did all my listening in the least V-Shaped of the settings: the down-down position when you’re holding the IEM as it would sit in your ear.
In this setting, it is U-shaped with exceptional bass and sparkly treble. The bass really fits my preferences. It sounds a big step ahead of what I’ve heard in similarly-priced sets, with fast, controlled delivery and huge impact. It focuses more on subbass than midbass, which I really appreciate. Compared to the ThieAudio Monarch MK4, the Enzo delivers faster bass with more slam and impact. People who want more midbass punch and warmth may miss that here, but the tradeoff is this very fast and satisfying presentation.
The treble has an etched quality that’s fun in its own way, offering good sparkle and air. While not as smooth as some alternatives, I found no issues with sibilance. The separation is excellent, though the presentation can feel a little intense at times. Vocal timbre sounds good, though with a less presence/clarity compared to sets like Monarch MK4 or Letshuoer EJ10.
Compared to the much more expensive ForteEars Macbeth, the Enzo’s treble is less smooth, but everything else sounded better to me—especially the bass and mids. Versus the Letshuoer EJ10, the EJ10 sounds more refined throughout with clearer vocals and smoother treble, though the Enzo brings slightly more bass emphasis.
This is a really fun set that deserves more attention. It would be hard to choose between the Enzo and Monarch MK4—the Enzo offers extra subbass fun and treble sparkle with a bit less vocal presence. For my prefs, I’d probably take the Enzo, but I index heavily for this fast, impactful bass. At $1400, it’s competing in a tough price bracket; it would be nice to see the price come down to match the Monarch at or below $1k, especially given that it’s not using Sonion ESTs or branded BAs.
”How do we differentiate ourselves in the marketplace?
“Wait: Let’s stuff as many drivers into a shell as we can and call it cutting edge and demand a premium price! We’ll used branded drivers so we can charge even more!
”Brilliant! I’ll remember this idea when it comes time for employee bonuses. Well done.”
Sorry for the slapstick attempt at humor. But the belief that driver count equals quality drives me INSANE. Just another Chi-fi spec war, like companies that release a new amp with .000007 less total harmonic distortion than its last model and call it revolutionary.
All i see is they dont specify if its each side or total. But since they do mention 5 way crossover I do assume it is per side but still not too clear. This wording has been used by for example KZ before while they actually meant total and not per side.
@tea@Ohmboy . Since I don’t want to spam down Chris’ thread with C12 vs EJ10 thoughts I tag you an leve my comment here😅
For me the two big differences between these two Letshuoer’s is the lower pinna gain and the warmer bass to mids on the C12. They are two highly complimentary sets to one another. (I think😄). Since you @tea mention est’s, the answer would be EJ10, but I think the BA treble in the C12 is really really well done. I my ideal world I would own both😄
