Refreshing LOLL
I haven’t taken the S12 out of my ears since I received it today. That bass attack speed and resolution is freaking FIRE. Also imaging accuracy… just heck.
If there’s one thing that S12 does less than Tea, it’s sound stage. Tea’s sound stage is still wider than S12, but S12 compensates with a tad more depth. All in all, S12’s stage is at least 80% of Tea.

Welcome to the club.
Oh man! Just when I begin to form regrets about having bought the timeless…
I bought it in sale, but it was still something like 170~180€
There was a used timeless for 150€ on a discord I read.
The s12 is out, and possibly solves the grow I have with timeless.
Speak about bad timing…
Do you think it’s worth getting if we already have timeless tho? 
Happy I waited on the Timeless with all the QC problems. Wallet takes another hit 
Looks like my prediction posted 11 days ago was correct!
P.S. just bought one 
You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Timeless is insane for price, just let it take you on a journey 
Well unless you’re a colector/addict/too rich, I’d say no. It’s a better iem for my library, but if you own timeless and like it, just go above the price bracket. Unless you can flip and lose no money, then yes.
If money is no restraint, yes, it is worth imo.
Thanks man! I will see if they come close to competing with the Sundara. Since I don’t WFH much these days, I’m rarely using my desktop set-up. Maybe S12 will give me a reason to pass on my Sundara and recover some sunk costs haha. I estimate that I spend 90%-95% of my listening time with the Aladdin and the Oxygen (even split), and 5% on the Sundara…so that’s an expensive 5% haha
Definitely a set that has everything done perfectly and beautifully from stock, no need to change anything aftermarket, full package deal 100%.

This is 100% right.
The full package is insane but also @shuoer’s customer service. Yesterday I mentioned I got a 3.5mm version of the cable instead of 4.4mm, and when I woke up I had a notification of another package sent with another cable. Insane customer support.
By now, it’s pretty obvious I’m their fan, and the best proof of that is that I own 3 of their sets, and so far they are all keepers.
I will make a larger post in some weeks regarding my “personal endgame”, that enlarged from 4 to 6 sets, and now contains three shuoer sets, all sounding different but great on their own thing. I love them so much that I’m considering doing some custom jobs with them in a near future.
So, where are people in the U.S. getting this s12 timeless killer? Must own. MUST OWN. Kay, thanks!
You might wanna post this on the official thread: 🔶 letshuoer s12 - #69 by thoohil. Not sure I saw anyone from the US posting about their S12 yet…
hi there, can anyone plz try them on a phone + dongle (or just 3.5 jack) and see how it performs?
I know planar needs power … but just wondering if this one is efficient enough
also any idea about DT02 which is bundled with ST12 in Aliexpress?
I ran my S12 out my OnePlus 9 pro using the DT02 last night, got to good listening volume at only about ~20% of volume on the phone’s slider. This was using the stock cable with the DT02’s single-ended 3.5mm connection.
For comparison, I’ve only needed ~35-45 volume on my Hiby R3 pro, mostly dependent on the recording’s volume.
While they do take some power, they don’t require a nuclear reactor or portable generator like, say, the Tin P1. I’d say their a bit more thirsty than the Timeless, but not majorly so.
thats great to hear. how’s soundstage to you? i’ve heard planar drivers may sound loud with low power but soundstage will be narrow. do you have other iems to compare ? i was considering to buy hana 2021 or kato. but S12 got a lot of hype recently …
Soundstage is above-average for an IEM, but not to the level of something like the EJ07 or MEST. Imaging within the soundstage is fantastic, though. They’re making for great all-rounders so far, unfortunately I don’t have a lot at-or-under the pricepoint to compare with at the moment.
Those are some BIG BOIS to compare to lol, but it just shows how well S12 covers its ground
