Letshuoer (Shuoer) - DZ4

**Letshuoer DZ4.** For reasons completely lost to me, the DZ4 had bad reviews when it was first released. It is a very competent, and comfortable IEM. And is a tuning style that has become more popular over time. It has excellent midrange, good vocal forward presentation, with a warm upper treble that never gets shouty or fatiguing, but isnt lacking in detail. Sure its doesnt have perfect timbre, its not the most technical, its not a bass head set, its not even super warm either. But what it does have is a unique tuning that can be immediately enjoyed, and worn for hours without fatigue. And now that it can be had for <$50, its an absolute steal, in my opinion. I am still baffled when i see people in forums shitting on it. I cant help but think they have never actually listened to it. Sticking with the 4 theme... **TRN MT4 Pro.** A so called "failed co-lab" with HBB. It still has his logo and name on it...so how "failed" it is, i dont know. But its a solid performer with a very similar sound profile to the DZ4's. It too never really got high praise. But for the sale price of <$20, there isnt really much out there that can perform better than it can. For female pop, it has great playback, and like the DZ4, never really gets shouty. https://tonedeafmonk.squig.link/?share=LETSHOUER_DZ4,TRN_MT4_PRO

Fosi DS2 is one of the cleanest and most neutral DAC/Amps you can get, and at $50, its a steal. If you HAVE to get something off of that list, then i would go witht he Fiio KA13, just for the Fiio App, and ease of support and firmware updates through Fiio. If you want something without overpowering bass. You can basically write off the Lagato, Fudu, EM6L, Hexa, and DZ4. They all have a rumbly sub bass texture to them, the Legato is basically a bass canon, and a bad one at that. The DZ4 and the Hexa do have a slightly leaner lower mid bass region, but that just makes the sub bass more pronounced sounding. The only really vocal forward, low bass IEM in that list is the Aria2. But it is kinda older now, and i think there are some better tuned IEM's out there with a similar sound signature. The Titan S2 is a good IEM, very balanced, vocals are a little less prominent than the Aria2, but the upper mids have more authority, so female vocals are a little stronger. The mid bass of the Titan S2 is also strong, which can make it feel bassy on some rock or traditional jazz tracks. But it balances nicely with the upper treble. If you want something that has less lower mid kick, the original Titan S, or the Sivga Que, might be a better fit.

They are certainly not the worst IEMs ever lol, they do a great job with vocals though but hard to really knock them at all at the price you can get them for at the moment. They have been my best “budget” buy.

I would recommend trying them a little louder if you haven’t (if you can’t do loud then might not be a set for you). 100% agree that at lower volumes nothing pops out as special.

If you like listening loud they are fine, I do agree that I would remove them if you listen at quieter volumes they are a bit lifeless. Vocals sound great for the price if you like it loud.

Probably the DZ4. Just wished it had a bit more midbass

Letshuoer DZ4 - oh dear.

They sounded lifeless, almost as if they didn't know what they wanted to be. Muffled, incoherent, garbled mess. Worth noting I lean towards warm of neutral.

I read the reviews, thought yeah, why not, on a discount, give them a go. I really can't fathom who they're for, even as an "interesting tuning" thing. Can only like what you like I guess.

Thank you, but I cut my losses with those a while back. Good advice though, nice one.

Ill separate my answers/tips. - Comfort is 100% all about eartips, I found myself liking the kiwi ears flex in most of all my iems the other options is the divinus velvet. - Klean and the DZ4 should be ur way to go. - Ur Dac is more than enough to drive 98% of available iems in the market. - S12 pro is 2 leagues above the Iems ur trying to buy. Planars IEMs handle EQ really well, before purchasing budget iems to replace them try other eartips and EQ. Your going to be surprise by that driver prowess.
