I've had these for a several months now, and you are spot on these are easy-listening, laid back, non-fatiguing all-rounder. They do have nice vocals. I find myself grabbing them when I'm doing a long working session at my desk just pounding out deliverables. As usual, your review is a perfect representation of what I've lived with these IEMs. Thanks Dave!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesomeness! I am glad you enjoy the Galileo, They for sure are a solid all-around listen. Thanks for the impressions.

[@glamball]

Comparison to Hexa is pretty accurate. And I was glad to hear comparison to Kima.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesome 👍 Glad you found the review helpful.

[@fiddlix]

Great review Dave. I’ve had this set for a while and I find your review spot on. Kudos.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesomeness! Glad you enjoy the Galileo.

[@samyg123]

First solid critique of the case, thanks for keeping it honest ✌️

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

My pleasure, you're welcome.

[@Blakeoffire]

I disagree... that case is excellent for traveling if you want proper (even waterproof) protection for your IEMs... Plus, it's so simple to open - just squeeze down on it whilst opening the latch at the same time - easy peasy ! Remove the tip sizes that you're (obviously) not going to use and replace the extra slots with different tip variants ! Excellent case !

[@matusjurcik6974]

agree, 12:00 the truthear hexa has that typical BA smear (caused by issues in the timing within BA drivers, they overlap but they are shifted in wavelenght ), thus resolution suffers a lot.

[@oijans]

I got a tip turning the ear tips inside out. Found some 20c tips and stuck them on the Galileo. It's like a new world opened up. I can nothing but recommend it. I'm really enjoying the music with the Galileos now. They are even a comfortable fit and stay in place.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Interesting. Thanks for the information

[@ThiagoCP]

Hi, @CCMVO! I just received my Galileo and they sounded very muddy and frustrating to me, specially when compared to the Hidizs MS3 and I'm thinking in sending it back since it didn't cut it for me. But I'd like to try your tip about the ear tips... what do you actually do with the ear tips and what model of eartips are those 20c that you mentioned?

[@ThiagoCP]

Ok, I reversed a pair of tips following this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5yXhWOjm7WSi7s AND I figured out I had the left and right phones switched in the cable 😅 They sound great now. I'll listen on it a little bit more before deciding if I'll send them back or not

[@roviccastillo9087]

Thank you for your review of the Galileos! I was curious in the comparison you did with the Hexa and Kima and was wondering which would you recommend as an overall upgrade coming from the Dunu Titan S I've been hesitant on the Galileos upper treble and still not sure on which iem I should be going for within that price range

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Galileo is the smoothest and least imposing in upper mids, Kima has similar mids to Titan S and Hexa is the most aggressive.

[@aldoelnathan4598]

Hi Dave I have kato and considering to buy the galileo. how does galileo mid and vocal compare to kato? does it sound less detail & clear? Thanks

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Vocals and mids are pretty similar on both. The Kato has a tad more are and is tad more detailed and resolving.

[@rajeebdas1724]

Between the Galileo and the S12, which would be a better buy? Both are about the same price here in my place.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Galileo is the safer sound. The S12 is more forward and aggressive and is harder to drive.

[@gwine9087]

Just got a pair. ast week. So far, I like them a lot. BTW, if you just stick your fingernail in the opening under the latch, it pops open, easily.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Glad you enjoy the Galileo.

[@killswitch9680]

Will the resin crack when dropped, and how long will the resin last? That's the only reason I'm still considering buying it

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Have no idea, didn't do a drop test and don't plan to.

[@killswitch9680]

I do often drop them 😅

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@killswitch9680 That's not good. I pamper gear like it is a princess.

[@koningklootzak7788]

Hi Dave, any plan for reviewing one or both of below? Simgot EA500, often compared to Olina SE and Truthear Hexa. Comes with replacement nozzle. Around 80 euro. Tanchjim Tanya. Many say this is the best budget DSP, or comparable to Moondrop quarks. Around 25 euro. Thanks!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Simgot EA500 are being arranged to head my way. Tanchjim Tanya DSP, thanks for the suggestion

[@deadline7610]

@@TheHonestAudiophile Hope you get a chance to try the mode for the EA500 that has been talked about to help the base. I tried a little medical tape over the hole by the nozzle and it helps.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Thanks for the suggestion but I don't mod loaned gear. Also I don't mod gear because I want to review gear as close to stock as possible. Only changes I make are tips and cables if I feel it's necessary and I will document it in the video.

[@koningklootzak7788]

Dave is a rare reviewer with certain standards, transparency, and professionalism. This is why he is respected and relied by his mostly mature viewers.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

@Koning Klootzak Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated.

[@jasony1011]

Could you compare it with simgot ea500? Thank you!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

If a Simgot EA599 is provided to the channel or the funds become available, I'll gladly listen and review it.

[@cesareberta1291]

Good review as always, how is this set compared to See audio Yume?

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Yume has more bass impact, fuller note weight, similar tone and timbre and similar detail retrieval and resolution.

[@cesareberta1291]

@@TheHonestAudiophile thanks For the reply! I want you to know that I bought the JQ4U pro based on your honest opinion (other reviewers were not so enthusiastic about that) and am enjoying it a lot, together with my Kato and S12 thei give me different prospectives on my music without going to far from a natural and coherent representation.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Awesomeness! I am glad you enjoy the JQ 4U Pro. S12, Kato and 4U Pro are a fantastic sounding group of IEM you have, they compliment each other very well, glad you enjoy all of them.

[@jakefoxx7978]

@@cesareberta1291 kinda iffy about the 4uPro sometimes since I like my guitars to have a bit more "bite" (sometimes metal music sounds a bit fatty from the bass even with JVC Spiral eartips pushing a more clear sound) just to make things a tad better I've switched from using LDAC on the BTR5 to AptX since the mids and highs felt more respected in that way (LDAC for some reason makes things bassier, which can be hit or miss). Other than that, best listening experience I've had on anything but especially earphones. Wouldn't want to "upgrade" from these if there's nothing exceedingly better at a similar price, though I do wish that lower treble wasn't so "safe" sounding, if that makes sense, Dunu Titan S handled the highs better IMO.

[@cesareberta1291]

@@jakefoxx7978 in my opinion they should have a bit more energy from 2.5k to 3.5k, if you listen to David Gilmour live at Pompeii his guitar is more laid-back (for that I have the Kato and S12), if you use eq just one filter and you're done. But they are great for long sessions and sound very natural to me. If you want to upgrade, I think you should look the Xenns tea mk2 but it's not the same price

[@joewinglovemusic]

Hi Thanks for your review .. Just wondering between these 3 IEM which one is better pls?! Letshuoer Galileo or Fiio FH3 or Kefine Delci please?!

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Galileo is the most neutral, the Delci is the fun one and the FH3 is kinda a mixture of all 3. Personally I would choose the Galileo because it has the best tone and timbre.

[@joewinglovemusic]

@@TheHonestAudiophile Cool Thank You So Much for help .. I just realised that Galileo is 4.4mm I only have a 3.5mm device .. I think I will still buy it while on sale and see what I will do with it later as its a Limited edition product right ?! Thank You and keep up yr Great well 🤗🙏🏼

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

You can change the cable with a 3.5mm termination. I look forward to hearing your impressions of the Galileo.

[@joewinglovemusic]

@@TheHonestAudiophile Thank You Mr. Honest .. How did you know I bought it after reading yr message 😏 its Wednesday Night in Sydney .. Hope you are having a wonderful Wednesday Morning 😊

[@joewinglovemusic]

@@TheHonestAudiophile Oh Sorry forgot to ask .. Which 3.5mm cable will be good for Galileo please? Also what's do you think of Kinera Celest Pandamon 2.0 & the cable comes with it please?

[@Allaces305]

Squeeze the case really tight and pop the latch...lol. But yeah it's a pain in the a**

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[@frederf69]

i tried the S12 & sent it back; poor fit/sound.

[@TheHonestAudiophile]

Fit is for sure an issue for some and that will greatly impact the sound. Sorry the S12 didn't work out for you.
