New Head-Fier
For Simgot Supermix 4 (1DD + 1BA + 1 Planar + 1 PZT) in Universal Fit
Pros: True harman tuning 2019
Definitely good driver coherence
Very textured and precise bass, abstracted from the mids, it just does the job where it's needed
The lower middle is transparent and light
Upper mids are energetic and dynamic
The vocal part occupies a wide space and is presented very transparently and openly
Drums have excellent transients and long follow-through
High frequencies are detailed and liberated in all their glory
The technicality is excellent, if you have listened to at least one Simgot headphones you definitely know what I mean
Sound stage has excellent stereo panorama and depth, you can literally immerse yourself there, just feel this flow when listening to music
Cons: It would be nice to have this cable with 4.4 jack
Harman Ear Gain may not be suitable for everyone, depending on the music you listen to, but this is easily corrected with an equalizer, so I don’t see any point in worrying about it.

Cons: - Average technicalities
- Lost a bit clarity due to the 5-6k dip
- Cable is too thin and a bit tangly
- Minimum accessories

Headphoneus Supremus
For Simgot EM10 in Universal Fit
Pros: Good ergonomics and build
Above average isolation
L-shaped basshead tuning - great texturing with visceral sub-bass rumble
Lush thick note weight
Well-balanced treble - good capturing of micro-detailing without veering to fatiguing territory
Musical yet not neglecting technicalities
Huge soundstage and good imaging when amped well
Minimal piezo/BA timbre
Cons: Could be better accessorized for a MidFI product
Scales with amplification due to highish impedance
Baseline signature is rather bassy, and may not suit purists who want something flatter
Diminishing returns from its younger brother, the SuperMix4

While I don't use mine as often as I should, every time I take them out for a listen it's a good time. An underappreciated classic in the works. Thanks for a nice review!

New Head-Fier
For FiiO FF3S in Earbuds
Pros: 1. The packaging is really good and you get everything to get you started

2. Has removable cable

3. The bass for an earbuds was really good!

4. Fantastic soundstage

5. The hooks included really helps with the fit

6. The foam and silicone covers helps change the sound quite a bit

7. The drawer case included is really good!

8. Fantastic for those who are sensitive to shrilly treble or upper mids
Cons: 1. Earbud fit issue (More of a me issue than the product)

2. The foam covers should be sold separately, as of this review I don't see them being sold by fiio. So if you tear or loose the foam covers you are out of luck.

3. Although the included case is really good, but its not portable

4. Not the best technicalities

For Letshuoer S08 in In-Ear
Pros: 😁 Price to performance ratio the force is strong with this one.
😁 Super light and comfortable shells.
😁 Love the 8 Ying/Yang Motife
😁 A bit unusual tuning - just kinda works 💪
😁 Modular Cable case high quality especially at price point
😁 Fat bass - bass head levels ?
😁 Not fatiguing especially when turning it up.
😁 Mid forward but not shouty
Cons: 🫣 Cable is a bit unwieldly
🫣 Not the most natural vocals even for planar standards
🫣 Not quite enough top end for me dialed back to much UN-PLANARness for my tastes
🫣 Bass has the volume but missing the secondary harmonics and decay to sound as it should for correct tonality.
🫣 Stage is OK for a Planar but falls short to its piers
This new LETSHOUER S08 Planar boasts some cool new talking points with its double sided magnet array, PTR? ELASTIC FILM SURROUND(S) makes for a exciting new release from a company who has some...
