Keep in mind - you may be able to achieve some of the tuning changes with EQ on the s12 pro. Confirmed price on Amazon is $199 - amzn.to/3Mhz7Fv (affiliate link)
Imagine getting absolutely smoked by Fresh just casually reviewing IEMs during your fight "Gun fire not overwhelming at all..." This wasn't the frag movie he thought he was going to end up in.
Have you tried the Artti 10? people have long said that it is tuned similarly to the s12 pro. From what I've seen, the s12 2024 graphs even more closely to the T10. A subjective a comparison of the two, particularly on their technicalities would be good to help differentiate the two
Honestly this is one of the best iems I've heard. It's very transparent and everything sounds like it should. The bass slams when it's called for, which very few planars can pull off.
Love the video. Great breakdown for each game. Honestly leagues above other videos on this platform. Happy to know my Canon 2s still lead the mid-tier pack a year later!
Heeey! Excellent review!!! one question supermix 4 or s12 2024 are they better than the hd 560s for a similar price? Thanks for the gameplay it is rewarding.
I have been compairing the two for the past few days and they are SO close in escape from tarkov and music. I am seriously leaning toward returning the s12 and just keeping the supermix 4 for the price diff. I got my supermix 4 for 119.
Hi! Love your videos. I have beyerdynamic dt 900 pro x and super mix 4 and always wants somthing new when i am watching your videoes. Are you using coustom eq (sonar) like gadgettry tech or are you using neutral sound. Super mix has for me a lot of bass compared to beyers and i dont know if i should eq to dont loose footsteps sounds
I bought these then I bought the azla eartips cause theyre way too shouty without them, then I bought the inzone earbuds and the inzones blew them out of the water. There’s no way any IEM comes close to the spatial clarity that the inzones are giving.
Is the Truthear Zero OG still the best budget IEM for Resurgence? Discomfort due to big nozzle seems to be a common issue. How would you rank the best budget IEMs (to plug into an Xbox controller) for Call of Duty?
I hear the KZ ZS10 Pro is amazing as well. Not the (Pro X), just the Pro. Pro X has too much bass. But yeah, the KZ ZS10 has gotten great reviews so I’ve read. Especially for COD. Especially when in building and multiple fights going on around you. Doesn’t get all mushy.
Can you describe SQ differences between your 2 favorites, letshuoer s12 2024 and mangird tea pro? Which is the most engaging, detailed and organic with natural timbre? Maybe you can persuade me because I don't have any planar iems, only hybrids.
Since you really like the Letshouer S12, maybe for your next video, you can look into Artti T10, which I heard many people say sound very similar to Letshouer S12 despite its budget price of around $50.
Freshhhhhh. Love you, man. This is your best review yet. Absolutely loved the in-game commentary about the IEM. Just perfect explanations while being able to see it visually was sooooo nice. Keep killing it
Man ur the reviewer i was looking for, but ur mostly doing mice and iems which im not that interested in. Would love more dac/amps (other than the dx9 or ifi zen dac)
they sound damn good! Smokes my mp145 and z12. Stock cable is messed up though, the right channel sounds off...I think they have the pins backwards. I swapped cables and was relieved, so ik it's the cable.
@@FreshReviewsYTIt was the right connector they installed backwards.My issue was polarity related, but I got a free m5 cable when I bought these so I just use that for now. Gotta twist it back or something lol.
Okay. I know this is about Letshouer S12 2024, but I am excited on Simgot EW300. Maybe try the 3 versions? Also please try Artti T10. Thank you man. Cheers
Amazing review as always! Would you be willing to do a review on the Venus Pro? I’m torn between it and the v2 Saturn pro. Any input would be appreciated.
Please talk about power output. I only use a dongle (VE Odo) with my 7Hz Sonus. Do you think a better dongle / dac would give me better sound dynamics in-game? I do not want to use a desktop dac with my laptop. I chose this dongle due to it's capability of in-line mic input. I wish I could watch the older videos with gameplay commentary too :D
nice shoot accuracy on the games! and also the location sense based on sound are pretty much good, at this point tbh it makes seems the S12 work pretty well
Hi! I’ve seen a lot of your content and I’m loving it. I’m looking to get some Iems mainly for Valorant but for competitive gaming in general. I got some Aria 2s cause I’ve been hearing everyone talk about them but I’m not impressed with the precision and separation like it almost sounded like when I was shooting and other things happen I couldn’t seperate them any suggestions around like the $400 and below mark??
I currently have the Dunu vulkans do you recommend me upgrading to anything that’s higher in the mid tier budget? Or should I just stick with the vulkans for the time being
Which IEM would you recommend for a balance between immersion and FPS gaming? By immersion I mean a realistic (maybe a bigger) sound stage and fun sound (I can feel the explosions and such). Budget: 1 - 1.2k ... but I would prefer to spend no more than 600, if possible.
I know that question is not to me , however if fresh will read this he could agree with me to some degree, i have two main IEMs Intuaura splendor 2 and Arete. For what you asking i will recommend Intuaura splendor 2 its just a Christmas in your ears 😅 but for pure competitive gaming Arete
@@jesh879 to be honest , each person have completely diffrent sensitivity in a ears drums. Also for me its a huge factor what time a day is and in what type environment i havr spend the day before gaming. (Im work in construction) Splendor comes with adapter wich is nice, reducing bass and makes the overall sound clearer also im using Azla sedna earfit ear tips.
@@jesh879 well, each person has a different type and level of hearing sensitivity, nearly impossible to have each person experiencing exactly same feel. Splendor 2 comes with nice adapter and make them sounds brighten with less bass. Ear tips also are the factor. But if fresh recomended also s12 2024...I have not tried those yet and they are cheaper than Splendor.
Do you have any EQ profile for these IEMs? They seem to be using the same hardware as the regular Shuoer S12s so I thought I might EQ them and give this better tuning a shot.
Curious if you use a software or anything to get sidetone while you use IEMs? I’ve wanted to get more into IEMs but I always find myself wanting to talk too loud while using them since I can’t hear myself talk fully lol.
Great review fresh. I have not tried yet any planar IEM , so maybe this one...but for now no shipping available to england from amazon link.... I do have one simple question about your amp dac....did you had to do a update for driver or firmware for your dx9 or just plug and play? Thanks.
@@FreshReviewsYTmy bad missed that one and just listened to it, had the zero OG, running the EM6L right now and waiting for my SuperMix 4, so I don't think the S08 is worth it, about the s12 2024, it's very limited edition so not and option, would be interesting to do a letshuoer comparison though eventually, always looking for the best budget as you can see and all I bought so far was cause of your recommendations, just love your reviews man, keep up your amazing work ❤
I love your videos! Great work as always! I was looking into this or the Arete and I am having trouble deciding on which would be better. I currently have the Kiwi Ears Orchestra lite. I am looking for more comfort but still have competitive audio for games.
It should be a noticeable difference nothing catastrophic imo and the comfort should improve greatly for you if your ear canals aren't large as the OL is on high end of the nozzle and shell size spectrum and there's better ventilation on the arete to alleviate pressure buildup. Only downside is the long pre-order period.
@@QuackyTV Thank you for the input! Yea the wait time is the only reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on it. That's I wanted to see if Fresh can kinda give a little insight on whether the S12 2024 worth to get right now or waiting for the Arete would be the better choice.
Man I have been looking for a video about Topping dx3 pro+ but I couldn’t find one. I would love your review about it. I just went with ur recommendation and bought orchestra lite with the dx3 pro+ for gaming (both within my budget, Xenns top is a bit expensive but would liked to order it) Am from Oman so shipping might take some time. Fyi they would be first iems and first dac/amp for me. I trust you from the way u explain things. 👍
Do you prefer Artisan Raiden Xsoft vs Soft? What are you thoughts on those 2 pads? I'm trying to get a Raiden, but I'm debating on what firmness. I play mostly tacfps, radiant/global elite
I see online S12, S12 Pro and 2024, these are all different ? I'd like a comparison with the S08... I just bought the SuperMix 4 waiting for the delivery, wonder if I should sell them and go with Letshuoer already 😢
Mmmm. Someone could possibly still prefer the supermix 4. They’re close enough. The s12 and 2024 version have different tunings and I believe the 2024 has upgraded internals as well.
Hey Fresh, huge fan of your channel and your content has really helped me with my purchases! Nothing to do with IEM, but what mouse skates would you recommend for glass pad?
Hey fresh, I'm in the market for a oled monitor and would mostly play competitive games on it, as i have a oled tv in the living room. I noticed you have the msi 360hz linked in the description. But you have no review of it, i was wondering if i should get the 360hz 1440p, or go 4k 240hz and if there is much difference in motion clarity specifically. Thank you!
@@FreshReviewsYT ohh i might've missed that, I was only listening to the vid in the gym. Thank you sir I appreciate it. Btw I just got my aretes and they are great. A little too big for my ears so I had to switch to smaller ear tips. Overall I love it. How does these compare to the aretes?
hey fresh , looking for an iem with immersive gaming with great soundstage and bass along with relaxed treble . wil ziigaat doscinco or ziigaat arete be better for me . i only do single player games so no competitive gaming
@@FreshReviewsYT That's fair, saw the aretes were 210 as well and those piqued my interest. It's going to be my first time purchasing IEMs so probably better off not spending that much!
Hey man, I have some SM4s from SIMGOT and whilst they sound great in general I find in CoD especially they sound a bit, meh. Don’t get me wrong they won’t be as good as the HD560s I don’t expect that at all but they sound a bit washed out (unsure if that’s the best word to use)… would a DAC/AMP help when on PS5?
@@FreshReviewsYTdo you believe it would stop the sort of washed up audio where it sounds like there’s no separation or would you recommend a different pair of IEMs, want something around a similar price (£125/$150) but available easily in the UK if possible.
Those things look gorgeous but I think I blew my IEM budget buying budget IEMs. Artti T10 ($53), KZ EDC Pro($5), Tangzu Wan Er SG($14), Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss($18), Fat Freq x HBB Deuce($239). And right now I'm on the fence for the Simgot EW300 DSP and the Fiio K11 R2R.
Hi, I want to buy an IEM and finalized 2 IEMs, S12 2024 and Ziigaat Arete, I don't have much preference as I am currently using QKZ HBB 20$ Iem, and planning to upgrade, my main purpose is mainly gaming and watching anime and bit of music listening. Please suggest one of these. Also I don't have any dac/amp. I will directly use them to my iphone using lightning to 3.5mm dongle and my macbook pro.
They look really sick, are they much better than the original? I tried the S12 not long ago and while my focus wasn't games, I thought that the low end was just a little blunt sounding and they had a bit of sibilance in the cymbals. I think they are very good for being ~$110 but nothing insane. Oh, well the built quality is actually insane, super durable.
@@yh12z1 you could check squig links and compare s12 pro to thieaudio 4 and see how it lines up with the s12 2024. I do throw up graphs comparing the two different tunings to the hype 4 but I can’t remember if the s12 pro had a diff tuning than the s12 og
@@FreshReviewsYT yes the s12 pro has a slightly smoother treble compared to the s12. also i wonder if its worth upgrading to the 2024 edition from the original s12. i wish the shell was entirely titanium instead of half plastic
I've been watching your budget-oriented videos lately as I'm looking for a budget IEM for CS2 and Valorant. It seems the QKZ HBB and EW200 are the best options within my budget. Would you say the EW200 is much better than the QKZ HBB for gaming? The EW200 is about $18 more expensive than the QKZ HBB; do you think it's worth it?
EW300 is so good for CS2. Its my main now, beats every iem i got for so low price. I have: - Orchestra lite - Intuaura splendor 2 - supermix 4 - ea500lm - And some others i dont use for competitive gaming I bought the dsp ew300, but use it with modmic iem cable so its basically the standard version. Use default nozzle and tips
@@Degsterino I have not tried DSP with gaming, cable is to short to reach my usb port at the back of my pc 😅. But stock 3,5mm is very good for CS2. Maybe i will try later and see if there is any difference if I somehow can manage around the cable.
Hi fresh, I have one to make you, I’m looking for iem (budget200$) to play fps games (i play competitive on r6) could you tell me which model you consider best? Ps: Having seen your reviews I was considering buying supermix
If you want to compare them there are sound demo of both of these on TH-cam . Just type " s12 sound demo " and you will find both , me personally I like s12 pro tuning way better then s12 ....
Yo Fresh, I’m in the market for some gaming IEMs since my Cloud 2s died. I noticed you rated both the Sonus and EW200 as B- to C+. Which one would you recommend for Valorant? They’re both priced about the same right now.
@@marekkordzik7517 yeah well sound is subjectable because i own both and they are both very similar tunings to me. Also the mp 145 are very different sounding depending on nozzle/tip configuration you have them setup with so telling me im wrong is pretty laughable.
Uwu....so niiiice and purrrrty......./sigh. I use my z12 for my mobile listening along with the Crinacle Zero Blue currently. Gonna have to start a side bizzness so I can add to my iem collection. WOOF! Thanks for the review Freshy. ❤🔥

@@FreshReviewsYT ohh i might've missed that, I was only listening to the vid in the gym. Thank you sir I appreciate it. Btw I just got my aretes and they are great. A little too big for my ears so I had to switch to smaller ear tips. Overall I love it. How does these compare to the aretes?
Are you still maining the Hype 4? Its the only IEM I have, and I got it for free, wondering if its still worth keeping?
Hype4 is endgame.
I mainly use my own Arete and the fiio fa19
hey fresh , looking for an iem with immersive gaming with great soundstage and bass along with relaxed treble . wil ziigaat doscinco or ziigaat arete be better for me . i only do single player games so no competitive gaming
Another banger
aaaaayyyy
Would you go with supermix 4s at 130 price point or these at 200? Is the difference worth the -70
S12 2024 is my pick but it’s entirely up to you if you’re on a tight budget
@@FreshReviewsYT That's fair, saw the aretes were 210 as well and those piqued my interest. It's going to be my first time purchasing IEMs so probably better off not spending that much!
Is your Tierlist ranked based on performance, like Xenns Top > Yayin Canon >...?
@@pqpgodw of course. In game performance across multiple titles.
Hey man, I have some SM4s from SIMGOT and whilst they sound great in general I find in CoD especially they sound a bit, meh. Don’t get me wrong they won’t be as good as the HD560s I don’t expect that at all but they sound a bit washed out (unsure if that’s the best word to use)… would a DAC/AMP help when on PS5?
It would yes
@@FreshReviewsYTdo you believe it would stop the sort of washed up audio where it sounds like there’s no separation or would you recommend a different pair of IEMs, want something around a similar price (£125/$150) but available easily in the UK if possible.
Do a review of the Hifiman Arya Organic
Those things look gorgeous but I think I blew my IEM budget buying budget IEMs. Artti T10 ($53), KZ EDC Pro($5), Tangzu Wan Er SG($14), Kinera Celest Wyvern Abyss($18), Fat Freq x HBB Deuce($239). And right now I'm on the fence for the Simgot EW300 DSP and the Fiio K11 R2R.
Sell most of those and get these 🎉
The S12 is $100 CAD more than the SuperMix 4, do you think its worth to pay the premium?
Probably not but it depends how tight the budget is and what specifically your preferences would be. Me personally I like the s12 2024 more
Any plans on reviewing ew300 dsp ?
Did you play siege with these? If so would you say it worth it over the supermix 4?
I did not
Nice Neptune Pro pad!
Hi, I want to buy an IEM and finalized 2 IEMs, S12 2024 and Ziigaat Arete, I don't have much preference as I am currently using QKZ HBB 20$ Iem, and planning to upgrade, my main purpose is mainly gaming and watching anime and bit of music listening. Please suggest one of these. Also I don't have any dac/amp. I will directly use them to my iphone using lightning to 3.5mm dongle and my macbook pro.
No dac amp id probably stay Arete
Hey dude, wonder what you think of the Estrella vs your Arete?
@@TheNEOONE1 I believe there are graphs online to help you visualize the difference. Check squiglinks
@@FreshReviewsYT reading graphs doesnt work for me. Just wondering what you personally think
@@FreshReviewsYT nevermind. I found what I was looking for
th-cam.com/video/zmY9tn3w6Gw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6MwR3GxRSP-yb3GX
They look really sick, are they much better than the original? I tried the S12 not long ago and while my focus wasn't games, I thought that the low end was just a little blunt sounding and they had a bit of sibilance in the cymbals. I think they are very good for being ~$110 but nothing insane. Oh, well the built quality is actually insane, super durable.
@@nyororomeowelas1225 yea I believe I gave the original no higher than a b- to c+
is there any difference in tuning between the 2024 edition and the old sl12 pro? my country only seems to have the old one
@@yh12z1 you could check squig links and compare s12 pro to thieaudio 4 and see how it lines up with the s12 2024. I do throw up graphs comparing the two different tunings to the hype 4 but I can’t remember if the s12 pro had a diff tuning than the s12 og
@@FreshReviewsYT yes the s12 pro has a slightly smoother treble compared to the s12. also i wonder if its worth upgrading to the 2024 edition from the original s12. i wish the shell was entirely titanium instead of half plastic
Have you actually tried the artti t10? They would get an easy B+ just like the letshuoer for less than half the price...
I haven’t
is it good for heavy metals and hard rock?
Are the original s12 as good as the 2024 or should i go with s08 instead. I want to try a planar iem for gaming
I don’t remember the s12 original being remotely as good for gaming
@@FreshReviewsYT I wish you could still get the s12 2024 then, everywhere i look theyre sold out
I've been watching your budget-oriented videos lately as I'm looking for a budget IEM for CS2 and Valorant. It seems the QKZ HBB and EW200 are the best options within my budget. Would you say the EW200 is much better than the QKZ HBB for gaming? The EW200 is about $18 more expensive than the QKZ HBB; do you think it's worth it?
Haven’t tested both in a looooooong time
@@FreshReviewsYT No worries, appreciate it!
EW300 is so good for CS2. Its my main now, beats every iem i got for so low price.
I have:
- Orchestra lite
- Intuaura splendor 2
- supermix 4
- ea500lm
- And some others i dont use for competitive gaming
I bought the dsp ew300, but use it with modmic iem cable so its basically the standard version.
Use default nozzle and tips
@@ching8733 Did you try it with the dsp cable? Was it also good for CS2?
@@Degsterino I have not tried DSP with gaming, cable is to short to reach my usb port at the back of my pc 😅.
But stock 3,5mm is very good for CS2.
Maybe i will try later and see if there is any difference if I somehow can manage around the cable.
whats the difference of it and the original s12?
How are those compared to the Supermix 4? Purely for gaming.
Better.
Hi fresh, I have one to make you,
I’m looking for iem (budget200$) to play fps games (i play competitive on r6) could you tell me which model you consider best?
Ps: Having seen your reviews I was considering buying supermix
I’d look at super mix or the s12 2024
Thank you bro
Comparing them with a sennhesiser hd 560s Who would win?
Xenns top vs arete vs fa19. Which?
What is your opinion on DSP iems?
I’d rather use my amp dac. However, for grabbing it on the go and using my phone or something like that it’s pretty legit
how's this compared to supermix 4 for gaming?
Which is better s12 pro or this❤
What’s your opinion on the splendor 2 and are they better than these just curious I’ve been thinking of getting a pair
Very close between the two. I think the s12 2024 has a safer tuning
@@FreshReviewsYT is this a 3.5mm cable or is it a completely different cable
@@H2xphantom it is a modular cable. You can change the termination to 3.5 or 4.4 or 2.5
@@FreshReviewsYT ok thank you i just preorder ed them from amazon for my first iem i cant wait to get them, love the vids bro
@@FreshReviewsYTsafe to assume the Splendor 2’s have better bass?
hows the timbre versus the original s12?
I don’t believe I’ve tried the original s12. I think I tried the pro and the z12. The s12 2024 feels better than. The z12
If you want to compare them there are sound demo of both of these on TH-cam . Just type " s12 sound demo " and you will find both , me personally I like s12 pro tuning way better then s12 ....
Worth the extra 50 over the supermix 4?
Depends how tight budget is. I prefer this more
So are they the same shape as the original? Just different material?
@@guybrushtwood believe so yep
@@FreshReviewsYT you’ve got me excited. S12 holds a special place in my heart
@@FreshReviewsYT also, you got any links to purchase or preorder? Happy to help the channel. An in Australia though
@@guybrushtwood I had a much better experience with this copy over the og!
@@FreshReviewsYT stop seducing me like that…😏
what the difference between 2024 and the older one
Many things, including the tuning
I really liked this one
These over the supermix 4 for valorant for 50ish more bucks?
@@Kazunori_xd close battle but yea I think this takes the cake
Hey man, if its not too much to ask, can you make a Valorant and CS IEM tier list for your next video?
Yo Fresh, I’m in the market for some gaming IEMs since my Cloud 2s died. I noticed you rated both the Sonus and EW200 as B- to C+. Which one would you recommend for Valorant? They’re both priced about the same right now.
How does this compare to the Yanyin Canon 2?
You can see the rating difference in description.
You should try Campfire Audio Supermoon and Astrolith! Absolute best planar IEMS on the whole market
I got the mp145 do you think it's worth it to upgrade to the s12's?
no they are VERY similar tunings.
@@pwn3426No they are not , mp145 have scooped mids too much and they are bright but not very clear . I love s12 pro but dont like mp145 or s12 ....
@@marekkordzik7517 yeah well sound is subjectable because i own both and they are both very similar tunings to me. Also the mp 145 are very different sounding depending on nozzle/tip configuration you have them setup with so telling me im wrong is pretty laughable.
@@pwn3426 Im sorry that your hearing is so bad that you cant tell difference between them because difference is huge imo ....
@@marekkordzik7517 yeah must be a lot of blokes out there with "so bad that you cant tell difference between them" *eye roll*.....huge, rofl!

Oh snap how many other type of plannars have you tried?
@@relaxmike9149 many
@@FreshReviewsYT Artti T10 for 50 bucks is nice for a plannar
Can I use these on xbox series x?
average W fresh video
Uwu....so niiiice and purrrrty......./sigh. I use my z12 for my mobile listening along with the Crinacle Zero Blue currently. Gonna have to start a side bizzness so I can add to my iem collection. WOOF! Thanks for the review Freshy. ❤🔥
