I'm so excited right now I would hug each and every one of you. This Leteciel MIRA is better than anything I have ever heard under $55.00, actually the best thing I have ever heard under $150.00 maybe $200.00. I'm serious! Nothing like any single 10mm driver I have ever heard, bigger stage, deeper bass and more detailed imaging. This is the single best thing ever for the money! E>V>E>R

Just insane really............it is like finding that restaurant in town that is new that has better food than you have ever eaten before.........................

They are too comfortable and low weight at 4 grams a piece. The best thing you first notice is the stage, then the fact that every instrument has a separation and living space inside the stage. The bass is low, but to criticize this in comparison to something like the NiceHCK Himalaya.....maybe a tad less definition? But this full and note-weighty midrange holds even vocals, where of course the the super-high-up treble holds that cohesive minus complete itemization of characters, but........but........there is a completeness that has me still loving the treble and engaging fully into cymbal splashes combined with the ultimate timbre that this style of single full-range driver does effortlessly. Honestly I wonder why anyone would ever pay more than this for another IEM.........it is that good! Don't believe me, buy it and see for yourself! To get real here sure there is a slight smearing of pace noted but it is in the treble and sure the bass is not the lowest ever, or even contained into a different part of the stage like hybrids do so well, but.......the timbre here, that's the magic........effortless timbre. My words for the day........effortless timbre!

Great review as always!

Thank-you!
Well I try to do quality over quantity, and that means it is hard to review them all. We live in such wonderful times for music lovers!

Leteciel SHARK!
while the stock eartips were ok for me, after I switched to spinfit cp100+ and they sound so much better!!

The stage is quite wide, the imaging is very good, I feel that it's even at the same level or better than the S12, which surprised me a lot.
It's a pretty bassy set, in a very good way, to be honest, but I wouldn't consider it warm probably because there's a good enough contrast from the upper midrange/treble.
I would say it's a very musical set, really fun to listen to almost any genre with. It's pretty forgiving of bad recordings, babymetal songs sound good on this set and they're pretty heavy especially in the bass and their recordings aren't the best 😅
The treble is pretty subtle, it's there and noticeable but not flashy, really well made
Overall, they did a good job with this set.

In comparison to the Sliivo SL41 mk2, I would say they are both a nice complement to each other. Each of them shines another part of the music, each of them is unique. I like them both! Very fun and musical sets.

Full review will be out soon!! but I can spoile a little bit: for 110$~, this is an AMAZING set!!!

Hello friends!
What do you usually expect from budget dynamic headphones?
Probably nothing supernatural, right?
But Leteciel Mira stumped me from the first seconds - how did they manage to sound so good for the money? I turn on the music, and the first thing that comes to my mind is “wait, are these really budget headphones?”
-Low Frequencies-
The bass in these headphones is tight, deep, but not overly pumped.
The first blow of the bass drum is literally felt physically, despite the fact that these are far from basshead headphones, but nevertheless it is not just some “boom”, but a structured, elastic, with good speed and properly applied blow.
The sub-bass goes down deep, giving a good grounding, but without buzzing or washing out the other frequencies. And it seems that these headphones have really good control in this range because even on complex parts the bass doesn't lose its clarity and transparency.
And the mid-bass comes through as rich, with body, giving great relief to double bass, bass guitar, and even in rock and metal sounds scathing and collected. And you probably want to ask what about electronic music?
Ohhh...Mira do something crazy there - every beat is powerful, dense, but not smeared. And for a budget headphone, such a fast-transmitted crisp punch with great audible texture is pretty rare!
-Mid Frequencies-
And the midrange is assertive, rich, but without excessive overload. And as far as I'm concerned, this is where the most interesting part starts. Mira present the middle not just smooth and boring, but maximally driving, lively and energetic.
The vocals are a little bit forward in the soundstage and the intonations of the vocalist are very naturally conveyed - whether it's some male baritone with hoarseness or airy and bright female vocals.
The instruments sound bodily. Guitars - with a pleasant “crunch”, rich, not thin. Pianos - with mass, with keyboard strokes, and here it is even as if one can feel the real weight. Winds - velvety, voluminous. Strings - with excellent texture, the bow seems to glide on the strings. in this range there is definitely no feeling of some plasticity or “digital” sound, the timbral authenticity is really good here.
Moreover, the midrange attack is fast and the headphones clearly convey transients, so instrumental parts sound lively, with well preserved dynamics. Everything sounds very natural and natural and there is no feeling that the frequencies are somehow artificially cut or pushed.
-High Frequencies-
And it is also worth noting that the treble is surprisingly very technical, detailed, but without any unpleasant rubber or aggression in the pitch.I have tested a lot of headphones and usually with budget headphones the treble is either muted or too sharp and has a strange timbre.
Here, however, these headphones struck the balance perfectly. Cymbals in jazz have a great metallic tone without sounding plastic. Violins are smooth but not overly softened, with the right attack and well-transmitted texture even in the heaviest orchestral parts.
And most importantly, the treble after-sounds are not clipped, the sound doesn't cut off early. There is enough air, the stage does not seem cramped. The detailing is really high - you can hear subtle nuances, even slight breathing of vocalists, small clicks, or the sound of instruments. But at the same time there is no feeling that the sound is bright or fatiguing, these headphones can be listened to for a long time without problems.
-Sound Stage-
And the soundstage has a breadth and depth that you wouldn't expect at this price point
Here again, these headphones are a pleasant surprise. Because let's be honest, usually with budget headphones, the scene is either narrow or flat in perception. Here it is really voluminous, with good echeloning and separation of plans.
And the width is decent - the instruments are not stuck together, there is a sense of air and transparency, and you can hear very clearly that the vocals are in front, the bass is behind, the cymbals are a little higher. And there is no mush, or effect as if everything is in one point.
Is Leteciel Mira really good?
I listen to Mira and I really can't get away from the thought: surely this is not some kind of mistake? They sound so dynamic, big and technical that they are easily a level above, they are definitely ahead of many of their competitors and should be in the higher price segment!
As for budget dynamic headphones, this is truly insane. If you're looking for an affordable model that knows how to surprise, Leteciel Mira is really the case when first impressions are pure delight.

IQ14 lack air for proper macro dynamic articulation, Shark seem to be better in that regard....
