"I always get "Page not found" and not being available at my location. I don't know what GS Audio did to mess its shop up. Other brands and shops don't have such problems. Got this problem even 3 months ago.
Wow I see. GS Audio had some troubled customer from Europe region maybe? I’m in USA and it’s displaying fine.
That’s unfortunate. Yes 2nd /3rd party service still works, I sometime use those service to purchase items from Japan as well but they charge the commissions which simply is a let down.yeah, it always turns out:
"Sorry, this item's currently unavailable in your location. Explore other Group Buy deals."
"Sorry, the page you requested can not be found
which is ridiculous and insulting - they could at least place a frame or banner top and say that it's currently not accessible in the country - but entirely censoring is stupid.
Not like there are other means to buy it through 2nd or 3rd-party services -_-
Send pictures please , i have leisurely l12p too … how cable u use? Eartips? Who the name of the “filter 2”
So my L12P came in and i have to say, i think we found a real winner here after one slight mod.
First thing that hit me was the soundstage. This IEM has the widest soundstage I've ever heard in any IEM currently or previously owned, almost HD800S type stage. Due to the wide stage, Mids. are a bit recessed but I fixed this by using Filter 2 on my DX240+AMP8 MK2 pairing.
Bass is just the right amount. L12P is very resolving. treble is just about perfect but yet smooth, almost EST like smoothness yet still clear.
Initially it also had too much mid-bass and treble wasn't as extended as I'd like.
What I did was remove the grill to reveal the 4 sound bores. The little wax grill has no filter of any kind behind it and so has nothing to do with the tuning of this IEM. grills actually mess with mid and high frequencies the most. also has an effect of increasing bass bloat a little.
With the Grill gone, this thing is now perfected. This IEM presents the song the way it was recorded. I was very impressed when I played some tracks with lots of instruments. L12P didn't even blink. it lets you hear everything in it's position from left to right and distance/ positioning of instruments.
L12P has more mid-bass than OG monarch which makes bass guitars and deep low piano keys sound more realistic. Monarch has slightly sharper (not in a bad way) treble vs LP12P which still very resolving never the less. This is with zero burn in.
Burn in continues today.
Fit is amazing (Will fit even a baby lol). Reminds me of my QDC Anole VX. You put it in your ears and forget about it. All your brain focuses on is the music unlike my OG Monarch where you feel the size the longer you listen.
Stock tips sound the best (Wide bore with a very short stem, shorter than anything else I have). Don't know what kind they're are but I put the extra set on my TheiAudio OG Monarch which helped widen it's stage a little more. (I experimented with AZLA Short and exslastic, spinfit 100 Plus, JVC spiral dots)
I also tried different cables from 100% copper, to $350 Gold, silver, Palladium plated ones but copper + silver plating sounds best to my ears.
At $569 this is a real steal guys. Get one asap and remember to remove the grill.
I use moondrop Spring tips. Brings out more details and better bass vs stock tips. Stock cable is actually really good, sounds like a $200 silver cable I have
Have heard good things about the GD3_ series. I own the ST8B, they're a bit too bassy for my taste but they're definitely the most coherent bassy IEM's I've owned. Surprising that an all BA set is one of my best bassy IEMs. ISN makes good bassy sets too but the tuning is more V-Shaped. ST8B is a warm tuning rather than V, a little too warm for my personal preference but it's by far my favorite of this tuning signature. The hardware is also very top quality for the price, did a deep dive into this a while back, this kind of configuration is usually found in iems that cost significantly more. The crossover hardware is of good quality too from what I hear.
Thanks for sharing very rare ST8B impression
Their tuning is more aimed at the Asian market from what I can tell. If you hop on taobao or similar you'll find most of their popular iems are tuned the same way if not more so (I looked around for fun). So you are still getting TOTL hardware.. for significantly cheaper (not a surprise, I think a lot of these TOTL brands are smart with their marketing and lean in heavily on raising perceived value by pricing things high knowing us hobbyists will eat it up looking for the next best thing), just with a lot more different tuning. Maybe their target audience has smaller or differently shaped ear canals? Could be a combination of that and cultural differences. The kind of headphones and other audio gear you grow up with will definitely effect your taste so no surprise to me if (geographically) different target markets have different preferences.Thanks for sharing very rare ST8B impression
Yea…GS Audio is a weird ODM, they devices are TOTL specs, with somehow weird talents in tuning it.
GS Audio ST10. Basshead IEM with highend Sonions for most of frequency band, and knowles tweeter x4 (pretty rolled off)I looking for a basshead gs audio iem with smooth not fatiguing highs
The flagship SE12 is a basshead iem with smooth highs. The best I've heard as well.I looking for a basshead gs audio iem with smooth not fatiguing highs
Interesting review, which cable did you choose for ?
XINHS gold silver mix cable that I linked on that post, it is very very bass heavy
