Tried that out at my local store, its wow for the price. It does have a little sibilance but very good for female vocals I feel. The stage and separation is wow. After trying so many iems at different price points, S12 2024 at 199 usd is really wow. This kind of sounding IEM usually is 1k++.
I posted my take on the S12 2024 today as well. I personally feel the S12 2024 is a more mature version of the OG model, relaxing and more balanced take.
Best planar is Estrella ). Just received it 2 days before. It's number 46 in the batch. Ordered 1st day. This is the best sound i've ever heard. Thank you Jay so much. Gods of sound bless you )
Letshouer is improving a lot in terms of bass as well. Like latest S08 I’m testing right now, the bass is tasteful and doesn’t give that papery planar bass that was present last year S12 series had been a good long term experiment
@@pwn3426 yeah I’m excited since Paul wasabi loves them, and he is harsh af especially with planars. Same with Michael Bruce, I’m looking forward to his opinion, but he’ll probably say his mod is better lol. I know either way I’ll love them, I really like my z12, mp145 and timeless ae. These seem to be guaranteed to be more refined if anything, which should be great for metal.
@@tanjimahmed5694 you’d love the quintet. It’s like a high resolution upsample. Just don’t pay too close attention to the cymbals lol. Sometimes they can sound off slightly.
S15 vs S12 2024… ? Who is the best ? I listen a lot of different music (metal / blues / rock / jazz / pop …. All except Rap or RnB) Thanks for your returns
Anyone can answer me. I'm listening ["ipod"acc 256 files] My question: Does it make a difference when I listen on my device with $250 iem, or is a badget iem sufficient? thks you
i don't like transparent or flat tuning after all i use them to listen to music and play single player games i like more Bass and man S15 really delivers i like them alot S08 are also very good not as good as S15 but the problem i have with S08 is the stupid and very uncomfortable shell unfortunately S15 are so Overpriced they are just not worth it at this price S15 should be around 150 Max and Letshuoer tried to make cheaper version with S08 but they screwed up the shell S12 Pro not bad for certain music and for games but man their shell is also very uncomfortable while S15 a perfect and very comfortable i really like them for gaming
is it worth the extra money to get this instead of the T10? or should i just get T10 for cheaper price and save some money. Btw love your work with the estrella, nice looking iem with beautiful sound👏🏻
I have both and I think i prefer the 2024 edition to the 145. Plus they have less planar crinkle when inserting and adjusting and are way way lighter than the 145.
Ok, So i bought these things and they are not the best planar of 2024, I compared the to the CA Moon Rovers and it's like night and day. Moon Rovers are so much cleaner and crisp, The S12 2024 almost sound like you're listening to the music through water in comparison. And The soundstage on the moon rovers is massive, so the Letshouer sound cramped. Also the s12 2024 have a slight planar timbre that is not pleasant. Which the moon rovers do not have. Best planars...
@@jayyaudio Well, I've seen like 10 videos claiming the same thing. And let me tell you it's far from reality. And the Campfire is $1200 but worth every penny. Man I'm selling this s12 2024 lol. I can't with them.

Do you know which source you tested with?
@@hotsnacxI use a btr7 and I agree, it sounds fantastic. It reminds me of hype 4 a bit, bit more transparent.
I will shamelessly hype the artti t10 every chance I get. Been autoeqing them to hbb 2022 target and they are so amazingly good and amazingly cheap
Excellent review. Timbre, note weight and treble smoothness is worth paying more IMO.
that rose gold hits.
I just ordered a used s15 for $165. I was planning on estrella, but I couldn't pass it up lol. Going to compare it with my s12 24 and s08.
I was waiting so much for this review, jay

I did put a slight treble shelf to tone down the sizzle on a playner but yeah i kinda like sizzle as long as its controled .

Yup Planars are getting better and better
@@treblewellxtended s08 is pretty great with a deep fit.
@@Hijynx87 Yeah agreed. It's the best VFM, Artti comes second after its launch.
if you like S08 you will like even better S15 unfortunately S15 is heavily Overpriced
@@LyuboA Yeah, I had to choose between cadenza 4 and S15 for review went for Cadenza 4
I just ordered one this morning......and now jay reviews it....did I make a mistake? TIME TO WATCH!
I've had mine for a few days now and love them

@@Hijynx87 They are similar tuning to the mp 145
@@pwn3426Better though, especially in comfort.
this review i find very honest 😍
Planers seems the way for me.
Idk i like artificial sounding audio more then organic one . My taste is unhealthy ig lol
lol

@@Hijynx87 yupp cymbals sounds so weird like is a low quality image or flat soda .
is it good for heavy metals and hard rock
2024 is the The year of planar IEMs.

Can you do Xenns Tea Pro next please 🙂
It’s on the way 👍
ESTRELLA Endgame 🤩🤩🤩
Worth the upgrade if already own S12 PRO?
nah
just eq
S15 vs S12 2024… ? Who is the best ?
I listen a lot of different music (metal / blues / rock / jazz / pop …. All except Rap or RnB)
Thanks for your returns
S12 2024
They’re different prices but what is the comparison like to Campfire’s planars (Supermoon or Astrolith)
Campfire is severely overpriced
Anyone can answer me. I'm listening ["ipod"acc 256 files]
My question: Does it make a difference when I listen on my device with $250 iem, or is a badget iem sufficient?
thks you
Difference is noticeable, good sweet spot would be the Simgot Supermix4, or Estrella if you want more bass

ya $300+ is a bit much, but what can you do when you're the only one lol
Supermix 4 Or this s12 anniversary????
both are good get which one you like more
@@jayyaudio If you were to choose only one based solely on the sound quality and music experience, then what should be your final pick?
I have both and I prefer the 2024 over my supermix 4 a lot. I am also in the return window and will be returning the supermix 4s

T10 better value, but if you got the cash go for it, and thank you man glad you're digging them~
S12 2024 or Supermix4?
supermix4
Gold member would be proud of this design.
How does it compare with mp145 though? og version
Very similar tuning

People calling the S08 dark havent listened to the S08 and just looked at the graph.
Its just not as bright as the S12, thats all
Lol. It’s missing treble and uppermids bro
Please for god sake don't wear those glasses
no
He looks cool 😎
