Which planar IEM should you get? Letshuoer S12 vs S12 2024 Review in a Minute #inearmonitors The Headphone Show 2024-10-09 | The Letshuoer S12 is one of the most popular planar IEMs and for good reason: It provides great sound at a fair price (MSRP $150, can be found for $110 or less). It's so popular that for their 8th anniversary, Letshuoer released the S12 2024 at $300 (actual price $200). The question is, how do they compare? And is it worth getting the 2024 edition?S12: letshuoer.net/products/s12-hifi-earphones-planar-iemsS12 2024: letshuoer.net/products/letshuoer-s12-2024-edition-14-8mm-planar-magnetic-driver-in-ear-monitor-earphone-hifi-iem

Moondrops BEST over ear headphone - Cosmo Review The Headphone Show 2024-09-24 | We focus a lot on headphone measurements in order to provide objective data to ground our evaluations here on the channel. But that doesn't mean we only ever like headphones that measure conventionally well. The Moondrop Cosmo is an example of a headphone that has a unique sound signature, and deviates from the traditional headphone tuning norms in several places, and yet it still sounds good. This is tasteful coloration done well.
