Letshuoer S12

[@FadedDream6969]

Ive had my set for about 3 months and I love them I can see why some would think the highs are a bit much but honestly my library plays amazing with these and the value is absolutely insane.

[@sebsexperience]

I'm obssessed with the S12 at the moment, they;re excellent in my opinion.

[@ZeoNeXus]

I appreciate the synergy part. I find it more melodic and lush sounding when paired with a warmer source. The bass of S12 is of incredible quality. Well-behaved, textured, and rounded. Like a steak that's properly cooked.

[@ZeoNeXus]

@Russian Bad Boy I haven't heard the Z12 and I don't have any plans to buy it as I have the S12 already. I can tell you that the S12's bass is already perfectly crafted and I see no reason why they have to increase the sub-bass by 2db. Both the sub-bass and mid-bass of the S12 is well done IMHO. You may want to check the frequency response graph of both IEMs as I see the Z12 having more pinna gain than the S12 which might affect harmonics that the S12 deliver's smoothly.

[@ZeoNeXus]

@Russian Bad Boy Since you sound determined to get the Z12, then I can only wish you the best. I'm sure you're going to enjoy your venture with planar IEMs. May the Z12 give you pleasant experience as you listen to your favorite music tracks.

The best S12 review I've seen , and i've seen a LOT . Thanks a lot as well for keeping your promise and reviewing how it drives off of dongles ( including the Dawn ) .

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I appreciate that. Thanks. 🎧😀

[@nsivaraj777]

Hey man I was waiting for ur S12 review🙂, Also I'm the one who requested for that dac combo with S12. Really thanks a lot for including it in the video, I did enjoy the whole video a lot even though it was a longer one(filled with useful information). Hope, that dac portion of the video helps everyone😉. Awesome review as always. Thanks again bro🙏

[@christiharris292]

I have been loving my S12s for 3 months at home while I keep my Link2Bal in the office, so the 2 never met until this morning! What an amazing combination - thanks for the recommendation.

[@spector175]

@Science of Sound For an iem it's decent enough .

[@insederec]

Good LAWD thank you for bringing up impulse response/transients. I obsessively research everything and this is the first review among dozens that doesn't harp on incessantly about v shape over and over and over

[@Jd-88]

Just got the s12 pro. These are awesome (and it looks like they listened to you as it comes with a modular cable). These blow my other planar (Tin P1) completely out of the water.

[@spector175]

I've been using S12 with Link2 Bal for a month and I'm very happy with this combo. I sold my bayerdynamic dt770 , senheiser ie600(it was ok but not worth it for the price) I only kept blon 03 (it doesn't come near S12 performance only keeping it as backup), also keeping sundara may upgrade to audeze mm500 when its available in nearby stores , I'm now a planar fan . I won't be buying any budget iems anymore will only buy multi driver in future like mest2 but will keep S12 in my collection it's a keeper.

[@leonardopapantoniou4227]

Selling dt 770 250? Never in my life. Ok it is not top notch but I love its treble and general presentation

[@fuzail3379]

Which eartips are you using

[@iMobinator]

i was worried about the upper frequencies being harsh, and prefer a warm sound, but the z12 (same as s12 with a 2db sub bass boost) sounds pretty neutral and vocals sound good. i like to hear bass too and feel it, and using an EQ, you can get a really full deep sound with the bass , no need to eq out high frequencies

[@SergeyRosinskiy]

Thanks for your review! Could you compare, at least in words Letshuoer S12 with FiiO FH3 and Simgot EM2 ?

[@michaellopez112]

your reviews and your website are really just great. would be interested to see a tier list of some sorts with your reviewed products

[@Trigg3rHippie]

Now I like my music loud. Like... LOUD. I mainly listen to metal. Would you recommend these or are they one of the normalised ones that got nerfed in the loudness department in order to preserve audio quality? I use Helm Audio Bolt DAC.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

These have got plenty of loud 😀

[@Trigg3rHippie]

Sweet, thanks!

[@KmtS9]

Hi! Enjoy your videos and many thanks for the work you put in. Would like to ask a quick opinion/reco. I daily drive a 7hz Zero and Tangzu Wan'er. Also use a Hifiman HE400SE and M40x (in case that helps the discussion). Music is mainly forms of rock (indie, alt, shoegaze, pop punk, jrock), instrumental (math rock, prog rock/metal, jazz fusion), indie/jazzy/bluesy/chill pop, and occasionally some hiphop (specifically Kendrick/Kanye/early Drake). So a majority is music with instruments (as opposed to more electronic things). Looking for an upgrade on the technicalities front - imaging, separation, resolution, clarity. Really enjoy the tuning of the 7hz Zero and Wan'er. I can currently get a Hexa for $90, which would've been my insta-pick (Zero Red didn't seem like it would've been a big enough upgrade - can get it for $60 by the way) buuuuut, i can get an S12 for $100. Is the S12 too good of a deal to pass up? I feel like i will prefer the Hexa tuning more, but i believe the S12 is a considerable step up in technicals. And i would also be open to try out the different tuning of the S12, in addition to the better technical performance. What you think? 😅 Thanks!!!

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Definitely S12 or S12 Pro. Zero Red is decent but I find it pretentious and kinda boring.

[@KmtS9]

@@PrimeAudioReviews Thank you for the quick reply! And thank you for your input, very much appreciates. The S12 is definitely getting a lot of votes. Getting very close to pulling the trigger 😅

[@KmtS9]

@@PrimeAudioReviews Thank you for the input!

[@Snickerz88]

Since you've reviewed both, how does the S12 stack up vs the Ikko OH10 in your opinion? Especially when it comes to details/clarity & timbre. Want a v-shaped upgrade from my CCA CRA & am torn between these two. Was originally going straight for S12, but then I heard complaints about the vocals (more forward than OH10, but also sound "echoey" and low res) and that the OH10 has better details so I'd love a 2nd opinion.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

S12 is very revealing which might be why some people complained about vocals. Oh10 is more v shaped so vocals aren't as forward in the mix. Oh10 has a large soundstage and s12 is super resolving.

[@dougmorato]

I ordered the S12 to check the hype. But I confess I'm a bit afraid of those peaks on upper mids and highs. I've tried the PMV PP and I remember the low frequencies were really nice. Bass kick drums sound massive (John Bonham's specifically) but it lacked high frequencies. The S12 is quite the opposite, so let's see if that's the one. Great review!

[@TheVeganVicar]

Any updates?

[@cryptospoke]

Would be interesting if you had reviewed their DT02 dongle and got to put it in the dongle lineup you showed.

[@NathanielBTM]

5:53 alright, I'm sold... I did order the Z12 Model instead... as I guess a little more sub bass, 50hz below wont hurt. and if it's too much I can always EQ it out... But I'm a big Metal guy... a lot of Modern Metalcore/Deathcore/Djent/Prog stuff, so I think these may satisfy my ears in regards to the bass.

[@markpaulson1346]

How do you like them? I'm going to order the Z12 also instead

[@emiloprita9771]

Really enjoy your Shuoer S12 presentation but my dilemma is to buy this one or the new version S12 pro!? Definitely the S12 Pro has nice color and excellent modular cable but has the same sound? This is my trouble and nobody made a direct comparison between them. Is Shuoer S12 pro as good as the original one? If someone listen to both of them and is so kind to give me an answer I thank him in advance

Would you consider S12 as an upgrade or side grade to the Hifiboy OSV3? Thanks.

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Oh wow. I haven't listened to the osv3 for about 4 years but I still have it (good iem). S12 is an upgrade in details and resolution. From memory I'd say the osv3 has a more physical bass and relaxed treble tuning.

[@tsuminijuu2373]

I want to try out planar iem and the s12 fits me the best in term of comfort. Since im new to the hobby i would like to have my iem to be have longer life so is there any tips or advice to keep my planar iem safe?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

I think basically just keep them in the case when not in use to protect from dust and don't get them wet.

[@FadedDream6969]

There really well built and so far after 3 months they have held up really well. I just keep mine in a case with a silicate packet just for humidity but they are holding up great.

I have 3 dongles will rate like this....no1 Ovidius B1 i am using 3.5mm to 4.4mm adapter cable...excellent power to drive S12...no2. Xduoo L2B little soft attack no edgyness....no3.

[@leonardopapantoniou4227]

I disagree.I find it sibillant. By the way what do you mean with “technicalities “? Resolution imaging and soundstage? Why are they called that way?

[@PrimeAudioReviews]

Have you tried different eartips? You need to get a proper seal to get a proper bass response. Yes, technicalities are imaging, detail retrieval and soundstage. They're called that way because to some degree they are more objective than tonality or sound signature.
