Meet this week's new arrival

Check out Lotoo's latest addition to their collection.





LE-M1 In-Ear-Monitor

>> SHOP NOW <<

Imagine an IEM that delivers a tuning mastered for sound production, such as recording or tracking that can also be enjoyed as a pair of high-quality Hi-Fi earphones.

Acoustically-tuned by recording engineers, LE-M1 boasts its neutral and uncolored sound quality. Sensitive enough to pick up little nuances from the music or recording, it is perfect for those who need to discern subtle audio cues, especially in an outdoor environment.

CNC milled from Aerospace Grade Aluminum, LE-M1 is meticulously sandblasted and finished in premium anodised black. The semi-matte metal housing is elegant and unobtrusive, suitable for all occasions.​

At $269 that's kind of exciting. Can't wat for some reviews and measurements.

Would be great if I can get review units. @MusicTeck

Been waiting to hear more news about this. Looking forward to impressions.

That's interesting. I see that the specs (driver, impedance, etc.) and where the 2 vents are located is quite similar to HZSound Heart Mirror. I wonder if they sound alike ...

I posted a few photos of the LE-M1 (and P6K) first and soon will add an impression about sound

Lotoo tends to always deliver with their efforts, with the exception of that blasted screen on my Lotoo Paw Gold.

Nothing would indicate that. The distortion spec is much lower on the Lotoo but the other similarities say nothing about frequency response or resolution. The 2 vents are common to many dynamics. Usually one for the front and one for the back of the driver. Tends to sound more open by freeing up the driver which can be overdamped in such a small enclosure and allows for bass tuning/extension.

Specifications​

• Frequency Response: 10Hz - 40KHz
• Sensitivity: 105 dB/mW（@1KHz）
• THD: ≤0.2 %（@1KHz）
• Impedance: 32 Ω ±15%（@1KHz）
• Weight: Earphones 8.27g. Cable 9.95g
• Transducer: 10mm high copper composite cavity dynamic driver
• Diaphragm: Carbon nanotube array composite diaphragm
• Housing: 5-axis CNC-milled anodized Alloy
• Coil: 0.035mm Daikoku CCAW
• Magnet: N52 inner-magnet design

Moondrop Starfield Specifications:
Driver Config: 10mm super aligned CNT array dynamic driver with dual chamber
Cable: 24AWG Litz 4N OFC
Socket: 0.78mm 2 pin
Sensitivity: 122dB/Vrms(@1kHz)
Impedance: 32Ω±15%（@1kHz）
Frequency Response: 10Hz-36000Hz(Free Field. 1/4"MIC,-3dB)
Effective FR: 20Hz-20000Hz(IEC60318-4)

It seems like they are using the same diaphragm, Daikoku CCAW coil and N52 magnets. The resonance chamber of the LE-M1 is described to be brass-plated while that of the Starfield is gold-plated brass.

No reaction, just an unpacking...

LE M1 & Me

 

[xuan87]

Tempting, especially since I can get it at a much cheaper price directly from China since I live in Asia. Plus it's single dynamics, and tuned to be neutral. Problem is I was supposed to save up for a Fiio FD5 but now this appears lol.

Based on this rollout, they're paired with Lotoo's PAW 1 voice recorder.

Anyone have impressions or measurements on this?

I've been enjoying it so far, but coming off hybrids and balanced drivers I am getting accustomed to the simplicity of single dynamic drivers. Paired with a Lotoo DAP, it's quite wonderful. I do have to boost the volume more than I'm used to with other aforementioned IEMS. It sounds well tuned.
