It got stale by the third collab or so

By the third collab? It was already awful with TinHiFi P1, whose tuning was "fixed" by him. The mids were king on that one (thanks to the driver, most likely), but there was no sub-bass at all and mid bass was barely there.

Would be a nice addition for bedroom speaker setup. Why is the bt version+ remote is cheaper than the bt without remote?

@gourab1995 since you are finding an IEM for sleeping, coincidentally, Azla is launching an IEM specifically for sleep, called the ASE-500

Apparently the shell is covered with some soft silicone material.





There's even a video here showing that the shell is semi compressible!

I dunno if compressing the IEM will change the sound signature (cause shell housing plays a big role in acoustics), but this looks super comfortable for sure. Maybe the inner part of the shell has a separate non-compressible component, and just the outer sheath is soft silicone, but sleeping with a non-detachable over-ear IEM may also damage the cable in the long-run, so its durability is something to consider.

It looks so comfy and non- durable at the same time.

You mean, like a marshmallow?

It would have been the perfect name for this model.

The new Tempotec V6 DAP is on Kickstarter and worth investing in. There are great deals for a couple of days still and it comes with a case and SD card. A thread has been started here:-

Audio hardware and price is generally good, but Android is antiquated and unlikely to be updated. No go for me.

Audio hardware and price is generally good, but Android is antiquated and unlikely to be updated. No go for me.

This is the dilemma, the more recent android operating systems cost more, which increases the price, so the choice is latest ( or later OS) more money or earlier OS less money.

As you said, the audio hardware is good, hopefully the sound quality is worthwhile and like a few older android DAPs the software would still be relevant for a few years, if not updated.

“LETSHUOER S12 Pro comes equipped with a large 14.8mm planar magnetic driver. It delivers quality sound with the S12 Pro reproducing the minutest of the details from our music precisely. After professional tuning adjustments, S12 Pro complements different genres of music such as Jazz, Pop, EDM, and Rock. The pair has got an updated nozzle filter for a minor tuning upgrade over the Original S12 model.”



Ask him if this is all nonsense, the vent hole and the filter?

indeed...a bit strange....yet, whats confirm is that nozzle mesh is different....and imo it can inflict on sound, especially treble...for vent holes i think theyr are same 2 than OG S12.

Look at that, LETSHUOER reduces the aggressiveness of the S12. If it's true, it seems like a winner to me. S12 cable is one of my favourite. Very robust and easy to handle.

How much are they charging for the S12 pro?

well, its 160$. Modular cable was suppose to be the big deal, but if this new mesh or god know what make it smoother on top, it sure become BIG winner.

its exactly for this reason I adore Tangzu Zetian Wu. Smooth like butter upper mids and overall treble and balance.
