3 Planar IEMs (DuDu, S08, T10) to Contemplate for Approximately $100- Honest Audiophile Impressions

[@verboten8]

This video is one of the reasons I decided to pick up the Letshuoer S08, and I couldn't be happier about it. I can see how this particular set is the more palatable version of the S12. The treble is smoother and they give off more rumble in the sub-bass. Details can be a bit behind compared to the S12, but in no way lacking. Thanks for the review, Dave. You have a good one.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Glad you enjoy the S08. Thanks for the impressions. Glad you found the video helpful.

[@dreddguy6454]

Exactly the review & comparison I've been waiting for. Cheers THA. Looking forward to your review of the TRN White Tiger.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

TRN White Tiger, haven't heard about that. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@TheVeganVicar]

Love my TRN Conch (especially the amazing accessories).

[@Artti_audio]

Thank you for your review of T10!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome

[@jopar3292]

of all the chid planars ive tried the T10 is the only one ive found that i want to keep. the most natural sounding of them all. For gaming I forget Im using them - never noticed anything about the sound at all whilst playing meaning its about perfect. I hate to use the phrase but 'for the price' the T10 is bargain. I should say m set is very well burned in and I use a good SCC copper cable - i didnt use the stock cable

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesomeness! I am glad you enjoy the T10. Totally agree, it is a good value. I did forget to mention it is solid for gaming.

[@JRVick]

Great comparison Dave. Thanks a bunch.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome.

[@alexeiboukirev8357]

With T10 I try rotating them in your ears so that 2-pin connector points forward horizontally - more comfortable and slightly better isolation for me. But this is very ear canal dependent.

[@thomaskuhn6541]

Looking forward to your S12 2024 review, I just ordered that one. Several reviewers have mentioned that the top end is somewhat tamer than the S12 and S12 Pro. Interested to hear what source you recommend (warm/ neutral), it's my first planar and I don't think my trusty iPod Touch will quite get the job done.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Review will be coming soon

[@RadoDani]

The word on the street is that Dudu with DSP cable is the way to go. You can EQ down dome of The brightness. Anyway, S08 sounds like something I would like.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

DuDu was alright with the DSP cable. S08 is my pick.

[@pascaljean2333]

Thanks for making this video Dave, been out of the game for a long time remember your videos from long ago! My iems died, so taking your advice to my wallet!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Look forward to hearing your impressions. Glad you enjoy the channel content and find it helpful.

[@lordlopes2424]

Artti used the Letshuoer factory to make the T10 and came up with the design of the Letshuoer D13. Idk why the D13 design but not bad on then.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Interesting thanks for the information

[@lordlopes2424]

​@@TheHonestAudiophile Yeah,maybe this could be my first planar if I don't get the NiceHCK F1 Pro or something from the S12 line,hope my LG is enough for him. Btw,I heard this sounds close to the S12 Pro,how would the T10 compare to the S12 Pro?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@lordlopes2424 sorry haven't heard the S12 Pro. I haven't had enough time with the S12 Pro 24 as it just arrived and I've e literally listen for 3 minutes.

[@Musicophile-p5l]

Heard there will be a t10 mk2. Hoping it's a s12 2024 in plastic shells.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Interesting

[@lostsanityreturned]

That would be interesting, but depends on the price

[@Musicophile-p5l]

@@lostsanityreturned Totally, t10 wouldn't have got the popularity if it were $120.

[@brycehayashi]

i got my t10 for 44 bucks 😸... aliexpress sleuthing

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesome 😎

[@Helmond2017]

Out of these three I'm more interested in the t10, because of their price point. It's even cheeper when on sale.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

I totally understand

[@S1RBR4N]

Artti T10 is a total banger dude, a must have imo

[@TheVeganVicar]

@@Helmond2017, I got my S08 for the equivalent of USD$82. 🎧

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@TheVeganVicar Great deal

[@Helmond2017]

Cool name. 😸

[@ksms8]

Sir i want to purchase meze alba because you gave excellent rating to them...i have truth ear Hexa but it doesn't give me emotional feelings of the music so i want to buy another iem which can give me that emotional feelings of music....so because you praise alba very much so is it a good choice for my preference

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Alba brings emotional connection that Hexa is missing

[@noenough0004]

You know t10 mini is upcoming I think it can provide batter sound quality ever under 150usd

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Interesting, thanks for the suggestion

[@VSN-wb2ly]

I want to hear your opinion about sound rhyme sr5, hope you can get that

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Thanks for the suggestion

[@SileDevil]

is the T10 as forward and bright as the simgot ew200? how would you compare the two?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yes, there similar in forwardness but the T10 isn't as aggressive sounding.

[@danzalunar]

I have a T10 and really love them. I'm looking for a planar headphone which has a similar character as the T10. any suggestions would be helpful 👍

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Budget? Closed back planar headphone are not as popular as open, if that matters.

[@danzalunar]

@@TheHonestAudiophile Thanks for the reply. Budget would be like 400-500 USD. can stretch a bit. I had Fiio FT5 and Audeze MM-100 in my mind. Unfortunately, in India we don't have the option to try, and returns hardly works. I can stretch my budget to DCA Aeon 2 Noire level (900 USD) 😜

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@mithunc I've not heard MM100 but once at audio show, very bright, neutral if I recall. The FT5 is a fun sounding planar with good technical abilities.

[@danzalunar]

@@TheHonestAudiophile sorry for asking too many questions. would you recommend Fiio FT5 to someone (it's me) who likes the Artti T10

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@mithunc yes

[@sunnytang740]

👍👍

[@woka_kawanua-hw2hj]

hi Dave, my current planar is the S12Pro and I like it, but somehow I think not so well with male vocal, can you recommend planar for male vocal? thank you 🙏 and pls respond.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

S08 is great with male vocals so is the Tin Hifi P1 Max. I do have the new S12 Pro 24 in for review, review coming some time in the future.

[@gorgicvetkov932]

Dave how you compare the Shozy P20 vs S08? Im searching for planner natural with bass boosted sub focused presentation non fatigue iem. Or you have better option for me?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

P20 is another excellent planar performer. The S08 is slightly more neutral and the P20 is a little more spicy fun. Both are similar in detail retrieval and resolution but the S08 is better with tone and timbre.

[@gorgicvetkov932]

@@TheHonestAudiophile thank you Dave i just order the S08. For 80$ they offered me the iem and their cable m5 as a gift the cable itself is around 20$ in that case the S08 cost 60$

[@TheHonestAudiophile]
