In my review of the Galileo, I opted for the Spinfit W1 ear tips over the stock options. The Spinfit W1 tips are known for their ability to enhance the soundstage and provide a comfort , secure fit. They have a grippy silicone texture that helps keep the IEMs stable in the ear, which is crucial for consistent sound delivery. The medium-wide bore of the W1 tips also contributes to improved clarity and a rich sound level, allowing for the dynamic details from multiple instruments to shine through with excellent spatial distancing.

Using the Spinfit W1 tips, I noticed a good extension of both high and low frequencies, which brought a new dimension to the Galileo’s sound profile. The bass felt more present and the treble retained its smooth character, all while providing a more expansive soundstage that made the listening experience even more immersive. This pairing proved to be a great match, enhancing the overall auditory experience of the Galileo.

The cable included with the Galileo is a high-quality 4-core stock cable, known for its durability and performance. The one i have is a 3.5mm jack, which is quite common and versatile for compatibility with various devices.

The two-tone color scheme of gray and silver not only gives the cable a premium aesthetic but also reflects the attention to detail that LETSHUOER has put into the design. The cable is made from oxygen-free copper that’s silver-plated, which is often used in high-end audio equipment for its excellent conductivity and ability to deliver a clear, detailed sound. Overall love the cable


In the LETSHUOER Galileo IEMs, the midrange truly shines, presenting vocals with exceptional warmth and clarity. Female voices are especially delightful, offering a captivating depth without overpowering the ears. Male vocals stand out with a solid and true-to-life quality. The sound is remarkably smooth, yet detailed enough to make every note stand out. Instruments are clearly distinguishable, ensuring a clean and uncluttered listening experience. The clarity of guitar notes is impressive, making these IEMs an excellent pick for those who love vocal-heavy music.

The bass response of the Galileo is subtle but substantial. It’s not designed for those who seek the thunderous roar of bass but for those who appreciate its nuanced presence. The sub-bass provides a controlled rumble, and the overall bass response is tight and well-defined, ensuring no frequency bleed. Mid-bass punches are deep and precise, and the bass is responsive enough to handle rapid drumming with ease, making kick drums and double pedal drums resonate with clarity. overall this set provide good bass quality.

In the treble range, the Galileo maintains a smooth and detailed profile. It offers amplelittle airiness and clarity without inducing harshness or sibilance, making it a safe choice for treble-sensitive listeners. Even with tracks known for their sibilant tendencies, the Galileo manages to minimize harshness and peaks, providing a treble that is both detailed and gentle on the ears.

The Galileo delivered a soundstage that is commendably wide for their price range, creating an immersive listening experience where you feel centrally placed in the midst of the performance. The imaging is precise, allowing listeners to discern the direction and placement of instruments, enhancing the realism of the audio reproduction.

Note separation is another area where the Galileo excels, with its ability to distinguish individual instruments and vocals within complex compositions. This clarity ensures that each note is articulated distinctly, contributing to a detailed and cohesive auditory landscape. The IEMs bring out micro details quite well, which is particularly impressive for an IEM in its price segment.

Overall, the technical aspects of the LETSHUOER Galileo, such as soundstage, imaging, note separation, and attention to detail, are crafted to provide an exceptional listening experience that belies its cost.

In essence, the Galileo offering a symphony of smooth mids, refined bass, and relaxed treble. They stand as an ideal choice for listeners who seek to immerse themselves in their music with clarity and comfort, without the fatigue that can accompany more aggressive sound signatures.

The included accessories not only offer convenience but also add value to the overall purchase. The cable was good enough , Looks premium. The high-quality oxygen-free copper silver-plated able was rigid , strong and tangled free. I have used the stock cable for listening music.

Midrange frequencies are rich and warm, allowing vocals and instruments to shine without being overshadowed. The tonality is accurate and the timbre natural. Voice was great as well not recessed .




The treble is detailed and well-extended, offering crispness without being harsh or sibilant though there are some issues in the treble region for me. Sometimes it wass hurting my ears and putting me in discomfort in the ear for over crispness . Sometimes it feels like metalic. The Letshuoer Galileo provides above-average noise isolation, effectively blocking out most ambient sounds. This allows for a more immersive listening experience, especially in noisy environments. The included assortment of ear tips ensures a proper seal, contributing to both noise isolation and overall comfort.
