About this deal

On the top of each monitor shell is a 0.78mm diameter 2-Pin female connector interface that offers a tight connection with the 2-Pin male connectors, located on the detachable cable. Near the connectors is a second vent hole that is part of the pressure balance system of the S12.

LETSHUOER S12 Review — Headfonics

Also included in the case is an assortment of accessories, including tips, cable, and case. The cable is copper, coated in high-purity silver. Like the Shuoer Tape Pro, the plastic wrap lends it added stiffness and, if you have smaller ears like I do, you’ll want to use the chin cinch to ensure it doesn’t tug the buds out of place. It connects to the earpieces using dual 0.78mm pins so is easily replaceable if you’d prefer something softer. Both the LetShuoer S12 and the TiN HiFi P2 do offer an efficient performance in terms of separation and placement of instruments and vocals. The S12 has the upper hand for the soundstage wideness, while both IEM’s are pretty similar when it comes to the depth of the stage. Instruments from pianos to cymbals, from flutes to cellos are reproduced in a pretty detailed and dynamic manner, while the extension and authority is quite decent compared to previous In-Ear Monitor with Planar Magnetic Driver that I have listen before. The LetShuoer S12 offers pretty lively, dynamic and entertaining presentation. It has not a reference type and tuning, but the colorations that you will hear from the lows to the highs make it to an IEM that is suitable for a wide variety of genres. The lows are produced in a quite deep, pretty fast and impactful manner, while the midrange sounds pretty transparent, vivid and detailed thanks to the well pronounced upper midrange tuning. The treble range on the other hand is able to produce a good sense of airiness and sparkle, while the resolution and extension of this area is on an efficient level for a product at this price tag.The upper treble area is shows an audible elevation around the 7 – 8 kHz region that gives the overall presentation a good sense of airiness and sparkle. The LetShuoer S12 offers in general a decent level of resolution and upper treble extension, when I do listen to instruments like snare drums or cymbals. Bass: The bass performance on these earphones reaches deep but remains tight. There’s a plentiful amount of sub-bass that results in a sub-woofer-like feeling, but the notes remain detailed and aren’t rounded off. Listening through Jonny Craig’s The Places We’ll Never Be was particularly enjoyable on these and leant key songs like Going Under much more body and presence. Even though the bass rise occurs relatively close to the lower mids, I didn’t find these to sound hazy or muddy. Instead, the mids and highs cut through cleanly. Shuoer S12 is a very energetic IEM with fun V-shaped tuning, that has a lot of balance issues. It is an exceptionally engaging and detailed pair of earphones if you're mostly going to listen to electronic instruments, however it is really garbage in acoustic music, so consider your needs carefully, versatility isn't a strong side of the S12. Treble: Treble performance on the S12 is good and a bit brighter than the Timeless. I sound like a broken record, but I prefer this enhancement as it increases the amount of perceived detail and steps percussion forward in the mix. I didn’t find the S12 to be fatiguing as a result, which just shows how well-tuned it really is. Increasing treble is a common way to give the impression of more detail, but in this case, I think Shuoer has succeeded in actually delivering it, while also raising the dB on the high-end.

S12, how much of an upgrade Thinking of getting a Letshuoer S12, how much of an upgrade

The lower treble region is slightly less highlighted compared to the upper treble. Woodwind instruments such like a side flute or clarinet are fairly pronounced and clear, while pianos are shown with a pretty good grade of intensity. Resolution, detail and soundstage - I kinda get where the hype comes from, as the resolving ability of the S12 is astonishing, especially at this price range. I think it's even more accurate and detailed than Sundara. The soundstage is just average, S12 plays pretty much in your head, and I think this is fairly standard in an IEM, but the recessed mids make everything sound thin and small. Good bass and treble extension makes up for it a little bit. Instrument separation is quite good, but not as impressive as expected, since Shuoer S12 sounds rather smooth and the tuning is more fun than analytical. The midbass region of the S12 is slightly more highlighted compared to the subbass area. It shows a decent sense of depth and impact when called upon, while the clarity and resolution is quite enough for a product at this price range. I didn’t notice any remarkable negative conditions such like muddiness or mixings when I have listen to songs like Gogo Penguin’s “Raven” or Charly Antolini’s “Duwadjuwandadu” that do have some complex bass passages. At the rear surface of the monitors is a slightly angled sound nozzles and one of the two vent holes drilled to the side of the unit to reduce pressure against the ear drums to protect the users hearing. The sound nozzle has fine metal mesh/filter on the top to prevent the insertion of small particles such like dust or ear-wax that can damage the driver overtime.The LetShuoer S12 is a Universal IEM that shows a decent build quality and pretty comfortable fit. It is equipped with a carefully tuned 14.8mm diameter large Planar Magnetic Driver, which offers a pretty lively, dynamic and entertaining presentation from the lows up to the highs. It has not a reference type of sound tuning, but the colorations here and there do make the S12 to pretty suitable In-Ear Monitor for a wide variety of genres. soundstage + fit clearly goes to the s12, when @Rikudou_Goku mentioned the timeless had like a soundstage/imaging that was entirely in the front that’s what i was experiencing without realising it on the timeless. I don’t think the s12 has particularly good soundstage/imaging just not particularly awful (although obviously mixed reports) The midrange of both IEM’s does offer a good level of transparent and airiness, while the midrange of the LetShuoer S12 is a bit more upfront when I do listen to vocals and instruments. Next to blon 03, these are SMALL, smaller than all of my kz’s, for anyone worrying about fit i’m finding them comfy and i have super difficult ears

FWIW, I'm streaming everything from Qobuz through a SMSL Sanskrit 10th Mk2 and amplified through a Drop+THX AAA-789. Balanced cables only. I know that's kinda overkill for IEM's but I wanted to make sure I wasn't running into the limitations of a USB dongle. Instruments on the other hand, such like a cross drum, trumpet or bass guitar are reproduced with a good amount of intensity and with an efficient level of detail and speed, which fulfils my expectation from a product at this price level. The cable has a braided design and the wires are protected by a stiff and PVC insulation that shows a very low amount of microphonic effect.

LETSHUOER has hit the nail on the head with the S12. If you enjoy a bit more bass rumble and detail in your music, these will probably be a better buy for you than the 7Hz Timeless. Sensitive listeners may find it a bit too bright, but I found it to be a well balanced set for music, movies, and even gaming (with Dolby Atmos). At the current price, these earphones are a great value and a solid choice, especially if you’re curious what all the planar magnetic hype is about. The LetShuoer S12 and the 7HZ Timeless do shows a pretty similar sound profile that is highly entertaining from the lows up to the highs. The Midrange of both IEM’s sound pretty transparent and lively, whatever you listen to vocals or to instruments. The midrange of the 7HZ Timeless sound a bit warmer in tonality compared to the LetShuoer S12 to my ears, while the difference of coloration is quite minimal. Vocals are a bit more forward and intimate when I do listen to the S12, while the Timeless sounds slightly recessed in direct comparison. Yes, since you brexited UK is different shipment via air especially to avoid doubling on duty. But it must have been like that before on second thought, since you were always outside of Schengen.
