HELLO EVERYONE! THIS IS SHIDO ITSUKA, AND I DECIDED TO DO SOME AUDIO REVIEWING SINCE MY SERIES HAS ALREADY ENDED FOR THE TIME BEING. WITH THE HELP OF MY FRIEND, THIS IS MY FIRST TRY
Let Shouoer S12: First Date
Disclaimers
I auditioned for this set through a tour that my friends arranged; you can ask my friend who is on the tour for details.
We have different hearing ranges, so expect different outcomes and impressions.
Introduction
Iem Review is extra special because it's a planar configuration this time. What a blessing it is for me to encounter such a setup. After putting this through its paces for a few weeks, it is finally time to share my thoughts.
Build Design and Cable.
Cable is the first topic we'll cover. The longevity is superb. Because of the high quality of the wire, it lasts a long time and feels expensive. It is a silver-type wire, and its silver-plated cable, to be precise. Its construction are made out of lightweight and strong aluminum metal.
Packaging
It has many freebies inside the box, so here are the freebies inside it.
Instruction Manual
Paper cards that have a QR code for the social media accounts
Three pairs of gray silicone tips
Three pairs of transparent silicone tips
Three pairs of black foam tips
Warranty card
soft case for the Iem
Cable with 0.78 connector
The pair itself
Fit and comfort
It's very comfortable to use, even in the long run. I tested this in busy places, like when commuting to my school, and it does not fall easily. It's remarkably intact in my ears.
Drivability and Driver setup
These are not ordinary earphones that you can plug in and listen to. Its output demands much power to meet its authentic sound. Earlier, I mentioned that the pair's driver is Planar. and that's because, as I said, Planar drivers tend to have high output. To work, it requires a source of energy.
Sound Signature
My first impressions and listening tests state a U-shaped tone. Others may describe it as a soft U., But for me, it's tuned pure U-shape, which I found pretty enjoyable. This will suffice for my everyday needs and in my genres.
Setup in this Review
Before I describe the sound components of this spirit here is my equipments.

Bass
THE BASS IS VERY DOMINANT. IT HAS THAT PUNCH AND RUMBLE. LET ME EXPLAIN IT FURTHER: THIS PAIR'S BASS IS VERY ENGAGING SINCE IT'S VERY SUITABLE IN MY LIBRARY, WHICH IS MORE ON ANIME MUSIC. I LIKE THE BASS PRESENTATION ON THIS PAIR. IT IS ROUNDED AND HAS A GREAT PUNCH WITH AN AUTHENTIC SOUND.
Mids
THE MIDS DO NOT HAVE A RECESSION ON THE TRACK. IT'S VERY PROMINENT BUT NOT MORE ON A MID-CENTRIC TYPE OF FORWARDNESS. FEMALE VOCALS ARE DECENT, BUT IT HAS A FEELING OF HAVING THE FLU. MALE VOCALS ARE ALSO DECENT. IT HAS A BIT OF BODY TO IT. IN GENERAL, THE VOCALS IN THE MIDS ARE DECENT. IT HAS CLARITY AND A BIT OF DEPTH TO IT.
Treble
IT IS A VERY PLEASING, SATISFYING FEEL. IT HAS THAT SMOOTHNESS AND REFINED OVERALL PRESENTATION. EVEN IF IT HAS THAT KIND OF EXTENSION, IT REMAINS ITS PRESENCE AND BRILLIANCE. IN GENERAL, TREBLE HAS THAT NATURAL EXTENSION AND ELEGANT FEEL FOR ME.
Overall Tech
LET'S START WITH THE SOUNDSTAGE. GOOD ENOUGH. ITS HEIGHT AND SPACING ARE ABOUT PAR FOR THE COURSE. I CAN SEE HOW THIS WOULD BE FINE FOR A BROAD AUDIENCE, BUT IT IS LACKING. THE QUALITY OF THE IMAGING IS SATISFACTORY. THE INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR LOCATION ON THE TRACK ARE BOTH KNOWN TO ME. THERE ARE SPECIFICS, BUT THEY COULD STAND OUT MORE. IT'S A MORE RESERVED STYLE OF PRESENTATION.
Conclusion
THE LETSHOUER S12 IS ONE OF THE PLANAR IEM THAT ENGAGES AND EXCITES MY LIBRARY. ALSO, THIS IS A FUN SET THAT SOME LISTENERS WILL LIKE BECAUSE OF ITS TONALITY AND OVERALL SOUND.
