ew200 is quite a bright signature. if you like that then i'd go for a more traditional planar like s12 which will give you some of the most detial and separation in the price s08 is great but could also sound way too mellow in the treble if you liked ew200

I currently own the FH3, which was my first IEM bought around 3 years ago. Recently gotten back into this hobby with Simgot EW300 and Letshuoer S08 in my collection. So I can only give you my experience with these 3 To me the FH3 sounds neutral-ish with slight bass boost. It can rumble sure, but you need a really good seal to notice them. Mid bass is slightly lacking the thump. Vocals are fairly forward and balanced. Treble is toned down making it not that sparkly. For accessories it comes packed with eartips so you can find your ideal fit. The pouch is decent and cable is nice but I wished it had a 4.4 option because when I swapped them to one, I can hear the details slightly better and soundstage opens up a little. One thing that stood out is definitely the fit. They are really comfortable! Passive noise isolation isn't as great (but so as the other two). Not to say the EW300 and S08 isn't comfortable, but I can listen with FH3 for a longer period without soreing my ear canals. Probably because they have smaller nozzle? Compare to my other two IEMs. To me EW300 and S08 sounds wayyy better. EW300 has better clarity and sounds more exciting. Some sibilance and female vocals can be a bit shouty (adding a foam to the silver nozzle really helps with the issue). S08 sounds warmer, treble is laid back but since the detail retrieval is so good I can still hear micro details unlike FH3 (had to really focus to hear them) All these are bassy according to many reviews, though not to basshead level. But I definitely prefer the slam on the newer models. TLDR: The newer models sounds "clearer" and has better bass Hope this helps! ☺️

I agree. Ive tried s08 and aether and some other with microplanars like simgot ew300 or kiwi ears canta and i have returned them all. But the PRX was a very nice surprise. Just a little bit bright in the upper frequencies but it smooths over time. I put a cotton mesh infront of the noozle filter and tames the upper treble a bit. No doubt its a better tuning than aether or s08 which sounds muddy in comparison in the mid lows

Been using the letshuoer S08 for 10 days so far, for gaming and listening a bit of everything with them, they've been working great, I'd recommend them I've done 3-4h long sessions with them without issue Try AliExpress If you can't find them artti T10 are also a great budget option, something else I would look at are the kefine Delci

I compared a bunch of IEMs at audio shops. While I don't remember which IEMs sounded brighter to me, I can recommend the Letshuoer S8 for its clarity and balance of bass and treble. I listen to a lot of EDM and pop (US, K-pop, J-Pop, Eastern European, Latin/Spanish), and one of the things I compared was the, for lack of a better term, drop in Zedd's Spectrum ("we'll RUN where lights won't chase us"). The S08s had that IT factor in Spectrum, and the sounds did not bleed together. I found it was similar to the Simgot EW300, but I chose the S08 because it wasn't as bass heavy, felt more balanced, and I presumed I wouldn't be as fatigued listening to them. That being said, I do not like my music too bright. I think the S12 might have been brighter than the S08, but I felt the S08 had a crisp, clear sound that accentuated what I was looking for. I'm told my preference is V-shaped.

Simgot EW300 is great and so is the Letshuoer S08. I'll share what I wrote about it somewhere else. >I've tested both the Simgot EW300s and Letshuoer S08s in person, along with many other units that were more expensive. I'm also pretty new to the IEM scene and I bought my first pair this past summer. Both units sounded very similar to me. I'm not familiar with all the terminology, so I'll describe them the best I can. >They both had decent 3D effects with clarity. I liked being able to hear distinction between the instruments and the vocals. One of the things I looked for was the "It" factor when listening to the drop/chorus in Spectrum by Zedd. I suppose this might be the fabled "eargasm", but it basically feels like my heart dropping from striking the right chord. Both units were capable of that "It" factor. Both have solid, metal builds (EW300 is heavier than S08), and I didn't experience sibilence (harsh hissing sound) from either. I get sick of treble easily (treble sensitive?), and I felt that I was more likely to get annoyed by the EW300 than the S08, so I chose the S08. **I think you can't go wrong with either the EW300 nor the S08.** EW300 is a tad heavier than S08, but they're both made of metal and feel sturdy. I'm super happy with my S08s.

I just picked up the S08 a few weeks ago and think they are very good for the money. I heard them at CanJam London last year and actually preferred them over the S12 as they were more to my preference the S12 while definitely having more detail just a bit too bright for me.

I remember your first post. I commented on it because we got these the same day. I agree with review, I'm still really loving mine. It's crazy how much of a difference tips make on these. I'm not a huge bass head, so I use tri clarion tips and with these they are very nicely balanced with good space in the treble region while maintaining a great bass presence. With some narrow bore tips however, they can be bass monsters. I also agree with you on the insertion depth. It takes them from sounding nice to being transported. Lol I was happy to see your update. This is my favorite set I've tried and I don't hear about it much.

I have all three IEMs, the Kefine Klean is good for $49 and if you change the stock cable it improves the bass and treble becoming warmer if using the Nicehck GTC5 cable. The Lesthouer S08 is a very good warm planar IEM I think is a really good option with the 25% discounts on Amazon US it comes out at around $66, but check the forums on Amazon it says frequently returned there are users who report problems with the right earbud, I have not had any problems, they sound very different from the Kefine Klean, the sound is somewhat dark with soft and detailed but not extended treble. The best for my personal taste is the Aful Explorer but it is the most expensive $119.99, it has a very organic warm sound, with good bass and detailed and sweet mids with a narrow but very musical presentation and the treble is somewhat attenuated with a certain level of detail. Any of these IEMs are wonderful but if you have the money go for the Aful Explorer if you like the warm signature and good musical representation.

I'm very sorry, I just saw this. For me I think the S08 has a very nice rumble. Especially for a planar iem. In fact, in many ways Letshuoer bucked the planar trend by coming out with planars which sound remarkably similar to dynamic drivers in timbre but the speed of a balanced armature. Their S15 is what started that. The S08 fell right in step. Truly an awesome sounding set which easily competes with more expensive sets. Very musical, rich in note weight. I feel that for metal you'll be hard pressed to find many better sets under $100. In my opinion. There's a few others which do very well though. Now, between the S08 and the Aful Explorer I'd say the Explorer is also a richer note weight. Has a bit more behind the sub-level rumble than the S08, but very very similar in almost all regards to the S08. The S08 has a touch quicker transients in the bass region. But they are very similar. Both warm, bit have awesome bass, both won't cause your ears fatigue from too much brightness.

Ya not everything is for everyone. I also enjoy the T10 and Delci. However, I would take the S08 over both of them. That's how different people are in this hobby man. It's a constant. This is why I try to speak on that point in every review. Anyways, I Def agree that T10 and Delci are phenomenal sets.

Oh yes, the S08 is not as open as the Aria. The Aria has that almost perfect Harman sound. The S08 isn't that at all. It's more rich, deep tight bass, less treble openness but very quick and tight transients. The Aria is more airy, thinner note body, more energetic. So yes those two are worlds apart in how they sound. Some things take some brain-burn in this hobby. Also, what dac/amp are you using?

I don't think your ears like anything with the JM-1 style tuning. Ib would look at the S08, the Explorer, the Defiant, hell, even something like the old Ziigaat Cinno might be up your ally. Lush, as recommended, is also a good choice. It does follow the JM1 curve, but the pina gain is pushed a little higher in the frequency range, which can make it have a little less feeling of ear gain and fatigue overall. But, at twice the price of the Hexa, it might be a bit out of your price range.

Haha... Ya one of my analogies that probably only make sense to about 5 people.. Ha. When I say milky, I mean thicker, richer note weight that isn't dry sounding. It's moist in inflections rather than thin and dry. There's some density to notes. The S08 is actually a fantastic sounding planar. Sorry if that makes no sense. Just my way of explaining what I hear.

Totally agree, the stage isn't the most vast. Granted, I really don't feel it needs to be super collosal in size. About average (ballpark) per iems at its price point I'd say. Still, the upsides of this iem are many. I can't sing it's praises enough

That's the first I've heard anyone say that. They certainly aren't lacking in bass. It's not the absolute best quality bass around that price, but it's pretty good. The chances are anyone complaining about a lack of bass isn't getting a proper seal. They're still by second favourite IEM. I did find them to be very tip-sensitive though and it seems I'm not the only one who has found this. I have about 30 or 40 tips in my collection and out of them, there's only 1 that sounds right. With every other tip the sound a bit wrong in one way or another. With those tips, they are excellent.

Letshuoer S08. Be sure they have enough power (i.e. KA11 dongle vs the Apple version) and ear tips that play to your preferred sound profile-meaning if you want more bass, go with narrow bore. More treble? Wider bore tips open them up quite a bit.

Full written review of the Letshuoer S08 can be found here: https://mobileaudiophile.com/in-ear-earphones-iem-iems-reviews/letshuoer-s08-review/ Letshuoer S08 Review ($99) 13mm Planar Driver Hello everyone, at the link provided is my full written review of the Letshuoer S08 from the audio brand Letshuoer. They are back with another planar magnetic earphone to add to their long line of very successful planar iems for their 8th Anniversary. The S08 comes to market with an MSRP of $99 which is a tough price point for any set to try to make a mark. Thankfully for Letshuoer they have a very successful history with the driver tech and if I'm being completely forthright with you all... The S08 is no different from the others as far as quality is concerned. However, it is tuned a bit differently. More in line with the Letshuoer S15 tuning than it is the Letshuoer S12 series of planars. The S08 is built very well with an all-alloy chassis, it looks unassuming but with a certain sleekness about it. It comes well accessorized with a nice "twist-lock" modular cable etc. and most importantly the S08 sounds good. Like I said, more in line with the musical/organic approach of the S15. This is certainly a musicality first iem. Within the review I did compare the S08 to a couple sets of at least some relevance and I try my best to explain this brand new planar as best I can so to hopefully help you out a little in making a purchasing decision. Please stop by, click the link and check out my review of the Letshuoer S08. Thank you in advance and I hope you all are having a very good weekend. Comparisons: Kiwi Ears Melody / Letshuoer S12 Pro 🔥🎶 S08 Pros 🎸🔥 -Build Quality is great, all alloy -Design isn't bad either -Very comfortable once sealed well -Accessories are better than I expected -Organic timbre, nicely musical sound -Beefy but well-defined bass region, great for a planar -Nice bass extension -Milky midrange -Nice for vocals (believe it or not) -Non-fatiguing treble -Good extension up top, has some bite 🎧🥶 S08 Cons 🥶🎵 -Bass isn't a DD bass. Slightly lacks the authentic slam of a DD -Bass may be a hint too much for some hobbyists -Not the most detailed approach -Lacks treble emphasis and brilliance (for some) Full written review of the Letshuoer S08 can be found here: https://mobileaudiophile.com/in-ear-earphones-iem-iems-reviews/letshuoer-s08-review/

I bought the S08 they're pretty good all rounder, got a pretty good deal from the letshuoer website (compared to AliExpres and so on). Though a little more bass would've been nice in my opinion. And the included earbuds were complete garbage, absolutely hated all of them.

It'll depend a lot on the things you like in your music. The DaVinci and DosCinco are more forward with female vocals than the Performer 7 or the S08. S08 is a bit more forward than the P7. P7 is the most neutral of the bunch. Best bass is going to depend on what you're specifically looking for. Sub bass rumble is probably best on the DosCinco, while the S08 has my favorite mid-bass punch. The DaVinci is nice, but can be a bit soft. The P7 sounds amazingly tight and accurate, but is lacking in intensity compared to the other three, which are much bassier. Cymbals your thing? The Performer 7 is airy and detailed and wonderful. The DaVinci is a close 2nd, but isn't as smooth as the P7. I would say, if you want dynamic sound that makes those genres sound as exciting as possible, try and get the DosCinco on sale. It's probably the best fit for Hip/Hop-Rap and Metal overall. The Performer 7 might be too neutral for your tastes, but it's in my opinion, probably the most detailed and resolving of the bunch. The S08 is great as well, and might be the best value overall, but if you have the budget for the DosCinco and the DaVinci, then I would go for one of those. I personally prefer the DosCinco over the DaVinci, especially on sale. But if you're sensitive to pressure issues or driver flex, I encountered driver flex on the DosCinco, but not on the DaVinci.

personally I would go for either the quintet or s12 pro. reason : the supermix 4 and quintet are quite similar. the quintet has the better tuning for my taste. The nozzle of the blessing is too big at 6,5mm . The s12 pro is a Planar (takes eq well and Crin has it in his measurements. Easy EQ with squiglink). wouldn't spend the 45 bucks extra for the heyday. can't comment on the P1 max or Myer CKLVX Edit: I somehow missed your text (only saw the pic). If you are treble sensible, I wouldn't go for the quintet or s12 pro. the CKLVX seems the most reasonable to me. Another Option would be the Letshuoer S08 has a a smoother treble and a pretty comfortable shell/nozzle.

It's fuller compared to the PRX but I feel the PRX is a bit more detailed overall, and yes, the S08 is way easier to drive than the PRX. I usually listen at around 60/150 on my old S10+ I use as a dap rn but the PRX is more on the 110-120/150 side to have at least some nice volume. The PRX has an edge in detail compared to the S08 but sometimes it can be fatiguing. I think there's something up in the 10khz+ frequencies that's making the PRX fatiguing

Do they NEED an amp? No. Do they scale well and sound better with power? 100%. However, you don't necessarily need an amp to power this set. As far as gaming, depending on your PC it may offer plenty of power for the S08 for that purpose. I haven't tried it to verify that though.

I was able to try these side by side to each other at a store in Japan last week. I was really not impressed with the sound of the 12s compared to the S08s. I thought the 08s sounded much, much fuller.

I agree. Ive tried s08 and aether and some other with microplanars like simgot ew300 or kiwi ears canta and i have returned them all. But the PRX was a very nice surprise. Just a little bit bright in the upper frequencies but it smooths over time. I put a cotton mesh infront of the noozle filter and tames the upper treble a bit. No doubt its a better tuning than aether or s08 which sounds muddy in comparison in the mid lows

Using the Letshuoer S08 and I love it. Previously tried Simgot EW300 and Simgot supermix 4. Found the Simgot EW300 was too heavy for my ears and that the Simgot Supermix 4 was too bulky to have a nice fit.

I just picked up the S08 a few weeks ago and think they are very good for the money. I heard them at CanJam London last year and actually preferred them over the S12 as they were more to my preference the S12 while definitely having more detail just a bit too bright for me.

The Apple dongle will get the S08 to halfway decent volumes, but it doesn't really drive this set unfortunately. The S08 is a planar and while planar magnetic drivers have become easier to drive and much more sensitive, they still desire power. The more the merrier too. I suggest a decent Dongle Dac with at least 100mw @32 ohms. Most dongle dacs under $60 will provide you with much more then that anymore. However, you may love the sound out of the Apple dongle. I simply found the Apple dongle doesn't really bring out the true dynamics of the S08. I can't remember if I added that into my review or not? Anyways, I would try to invest in a slightly more powerful dongle dac, if you can. You can find stellar dongle dacs for very cheap anymore.
