The Letshuoer S12 Pro is one of the best Planar earphones I have ever had the pleasure to review and it shows just how far the audio hobby has come.
In this “sport” people like to downplay brilliance but at this point, the cat is out of the bag on Planar technology and it isn't going to go back in. The S12 Pro strikes a stunning ground that fills one of the small holes left by the competition. They have the ability to go lower delivering fuller bass but sacrificing very little in other areas.
In this video we discuss the earphones themselves but also include comparisons to other top models at different price points.
The Thieaudio Oracle Mk ii can not really be considered a successor to the original Oracle because the tuning differs so dramatically. In fact, this earphone is tuned far more similar to the incredible Monarch MKii.
In my eyes, this is a controversial decision because it muddies the naming scheme but in reality, it gives people access to elements of a far more expensive earphone for a fraction of the price.
If we set the naming scheme aside and evaluate this earphone on its own without comparison to the original we have another great earphone for the money and one of the best tribrids for the price if you like more low-end weight.

    @Audiolevels I’ve had the Timeless, Tangzu Zetian Wu, P1 Max and LetShuoer Z12. Sold the Timeless and Tangzu…somehow I would always find myself going back to the Z12 and Giant Panda. Different tunings done VERY well…so they cover all my listening requirements. U mention the LetShuoer’s holographic sound…I’m right there with u. These things are truly fantastic. And for the price…u can’t go wrong

    I listen to the S12 Pro with my Fiio M11 Plus DAP and they sound phenomenal. There's something about them that's so addictive and I find myself listening to these more often than my Monarch MKII iem's. Love the channel by the way. Looking forward to watching more of your reviews!

    Bought the tinhifi p1 plus, and driving it with a Samsung s10 and a FiiO BTR5 2021 and they sound amazing in my modest view everything sounds so balanced and the bass and subs are more than enough and precise.. Thanks, you were right, i love them and now i am thinking about the letshouer that sells for 130€...

    I had the S12 and loved them, I just wish they had 5DB more in Bass .....you are right about everyone having a favorite according to sound......my favorite from the ones I have are the Moondrop Variations.....that's my preferred sound .....and believe they are the best not only for the money but in the sound signature that I enjoy .....you are tempting me to buy a pair of P1's but my question is how does the sound signature of the P1 compare to the Variations ? ........

    Great video. Thank you!!!! 👍 I have a few Planars including Timeless & S12 so might not go back in again for the pro version. I'm really intrigued by the P1s. Can you let me know if it's the P1 or P1 Pro that you have?. They look quite similar and I can't tell from your video which one you have.. Thanks a mil. 😎

    Aside from the ways these were all tuned by the developers, they most probably share similar hardware, drivers, etc. My question is, if you planed on using EQ with something like the Qudelix, could they all be tuned to someone's best sound preference? Or does one of them contain a driver or feature that would elevate it over a competitor? Otherwise, we would just go with one that was the most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Thanks for anyone takes the time to reply.

    Hi thanks for the video. These iems has been on my list. For a warm sounding iem. But I am too short on cash hence I was considering the TRN st5 or the KZ pr1 (its a planar by KZ). There is also an updated version of KZ pr1 called kz pr1 pro coming soon with updated tuning and cable. I wanted a warm sounding iem and the s12 pro was on my list. But they are too expensive for me as of now, and also I did hear in many places them having issues due to them having short nozzle. Which is an issue I suffee with a lot I as the same issues with my blon. Can't use them for god sakes.

    Z12 was $143 during the Amazon - Hifigo - Linsol - sale last week. It will be that same price again soon. That’s $100 cheaper than the also Amazing 7hz timeless.

    since you mentioned the P1, that made me interested again in the P2. Weird freq graph, hardest IEM to drive, twice as expensive as the timeless, there must be something Tinhifi was thinking when they made these iems. i wonder what your thoughts are on the P2s and great content btw!
