šŸ”¶ Letshuoer S12

7hz timeles sound feels without liveā€¦others planar I dont know

I really like planar sound and own both the Timeless and the S12, and like both a lot, even if the S12 is a bit brighter than my typical preference. I think both DD and planar work for me.

I am trying to figure out if I donā€™t have the music library or the ear for BA drivers, or if I just need to listen to a better set. Most cheap BA sets are really cheap, and there hasnā€™t been a lot of good middle ground on them.

Tubes and cats donā€™t go well together ā€¦ I have been using a Voxengo plugin for APO when I feel the need for some tube sound.

Nah just Nahā€¦whatā€™s your source?..and cats :man_shrugging: MT-602/04ā€™s donā€™t get that hot if worried put the 604 in a cage lol :+1:

Based on that comment, I am not sure if I am supposed to put the cats or the tubes in the cage :wink:

During the workday I typically use a BTR5. I like the BT support, and the ability to have a phone connected at the same time.

In the evening, I sometimes use a DIY amp that I built myself, using an Apple dongle as a DAC. It is very close to the same sound as the BTR5, but with more power. I only have 2.5mm balance input on it currently. It started out as an experiment to see how simple it really was.

If I were to go with the 604 for home use, what DAC would you pair with it?

I tend to work on a laptop a couple days a week, so if I am reluctant to go tubes or desktop in general. I am thinking about a Topping NX7, but not sure if I want an amp only style like that.

I use it with my DX312 so not too sure?..there is this though :man_shrugging:

At LONG last, finally got my S12. It sounds absolutely sublime as a budget set, besting every budget LETSHUOER sets Iā€™ve heard (including my trusty OG Tape), and doesnā€™t leave too much to be desired against my EJ07. Iā€™ve tested it on my desktop rig (Modi 3+ and Neve RNHP) and my OnePlus 5 3.5mm out. For my OnePlus I have to push the volume to about 80% for my normal listening level. Foam tips works the best for me, and the sound signature drives me to listen to more and more modern pop that benefits from a V or even U shaped IEM.

Am I missing something? The shuoer account ā€œfinallyā€ got their S12 and gives their impression? There may be a normal human being behind that account, but even with a big grain of salt I canā€™t really take it seriouslyā€¦ isnā€™t this a huge conflict of interest and dubious or am I missing something?

Yes, my first impression was that someone forgot to change account (like Kevin Durant once did on twitter) :stuck_out_tongue: On the other hand Shuoer customer service representative on discord is really personified - he talks on what tips he uses etc, so that may be one particular, real personā€™s opinion.

Itā€™s probably Joseph being himself, which I appreciate because heā€™s awesome in general and doesnā€™t shy away from pointing out LETSHUOER weaknesses either, but I get why itā€™s better to do so on another account.

I think itā€™s just Joseph himself @shuoer ā€¦ Itā€™s the dilemma of being on the marketing team and the PR manager, but is located in Canada than the HQ in Guangdong, Chinaā€¦

Well, company use slow mail, and took a month to get here to Vancouver. Yes itā€™s Joseph, the down to earth rep that would say ā€œmy condolencesā€ whenever someone told me they have Tape Pro or Singer (who also have never heard of 07M, Conductor and 09). Well, back to S12 - hats and crash can get tinny and metallic especially if you listen to compressed records. I find it works the best with metal music, and worst with podcast imo, mainly because metal, for those that I listen to, have a tendency to attenuate the hats and crash in the final mix. Podcast is bed because they tend to come right close to the mic for the proximity effect, and tss and pops can be further pronounced by the treble bump. Will try to EQ it out tonight. Bass and mids I feel like except for holographic-ness, is not leaving much on the table compare to my EJ07 CIEM.

Wait, you guys prefer me doing it in another account? I could, but itā€™d be a slight nuisance since I have to switch between accounts on HFG.

And the best brand PR in the game :person_shrugging: never change

I personally would not want you to change one bit lol, but I also donā€™t want to speak for others here.

Given that youā€™re an actual person in the hobby, and not some faceless, souless corporate account I have no qualms with your username. Just glad that youā€™re here and enjoying it along with us!

So whatā€™s your personal favorite if you donā€™t mind me asking? I decided to go with the black EJ07m but almost got the OG 07
