LETSHUOER DX1 REVIEW

>>I am brazilian and I speak portuguese, so forgive my english, I’ll use translation tools to help<<

INTRO:

The LETSHUOER DX1 is the company’s latest release. The earphones are a modern work of art, very beautiful (of course, this is always very subjective). I really like LETSHUOER because they are a company that puts a lot of quality into their products, from the packaging to the sound of the earphones. The brand is already synonymous with products with a lot of accessories, you feel like you get a return on your money invested.

Price: $159 USD
Color: Gold/Silver
Cable: Without Mic

UNBOXING:

PHYSICAL ASPECTS:

Construction:

• The shell is all metal (including the nozzle and grid).
• Metal IEMs are very pretty, but they are heavier (isn’t rule).
• They have 3 vents (holes).
• Great build quality. Sturdy.
• Mirrored IEMs tend to scratch more easily.
• Internal smoothing filter in the 5kHz region.
• Great unboxing experience.
• Packaging with premium presentation.
• The carrying case is very good. Genuine product.
• Case with rubber base, prevents dragging and scratching.

PS: My notebook isn’t grounded, so I had small shocks when I touched the floor with my feet (barefoot).

Eartips:

• 3 types of eartips: Normal, wide bore, and TRI Clarion.
• Great variety of eartips.
• The “Normal” eartips (black & white) are the best (in my opinion).
• Wide Bore eartips make the sound more “forward” and with less bass.
• The form of the TRI Clarion isn’t very good for my ears.
• It’s possible to use the stock eartips. The reason to change is only for personal preferences.
• I tested the sound with the SpinFit CP100 (M) [personal preference].

Cable:

• Excellent cable. Very positive point.
• Extremely high-quality cable, and also beautiful.
• No need to change it (subjective).
• Good malleability.
• Very light and thin.
• Doesn’t get tangled.
• Doesn’t get “memory” (creases).
• The earhooks are excellent.
• No microphonics.
• The Chin Slider isn’t 100% effective.
  

Fit and comfort:

• Great fit – stable in the ears.
• Very comfortable, excellent ergonomics.
• Good for those with small ears.
• Medium to deep insertion.
• Good/ok isolation.
• 11.5g, not the lightest or heaviest.

Earphone kit (accessories):

• 3 pairs of Wide Bore eartips, sizes S/M/L.
• 3 pairs of TRI Clarion ear tips, sizes S/M/L.

SOUND ASPECTS:

Sound:

• Neutral with a boost in the sub-bass.
• Engaging sound with a punch in the bass (subs).
• Excellent level of definition.
• Very clear and transparent sound.
• Doesn’t forgive bad recordings.
• Slightly attenuated treble.
• Comfortable to listen to, doesn’t fatiguing.
• May lack energy in some genres (subjective).

Bass:

– Quantitative:

• Moderate to high. This is the region that stands out the most (when required).
• Isn’t for bassheads, but it has a good amount of bass.
• Focused on sub-bass.
• Sounds from lower frequencies are more present.
• Mid-bass a little more recessed.
• Eartips can change the dynamics of this region.

– Qualitative:

• The bass is clean, controlled, with great definition, good texture, physicality, impact, and great extension.
• The bass has weight and strength, but in the right amount, it doesn’t overboard.
• “Deep” sounds are very present.
• They don’t invade the mids.
• They’re not bloated, they’re not boomy, they’re not muddy.
• Good for EDM, POP, Rock, Metal (genres with electric instruments).
• Double bass, kick drum, and guitars, the sound is warm and visceral.

Mids:

– Quantitative and qualitative:

• Mids neither “forward” nor recessed.
• Pinna gain is coherent.
• Comfy upper-mids, don’t cause fatigue.
• Silky, soft, engaging, musical mids.
• Great definition, transparency, and detail.
• Not the best for those looking for more forward upper-mids.
• Feels like it could have more airy.
• Excellent for those who enjoy more euphonic mids.
• Snare drums are more “softened”.
• Saxophones have body and texture.

Voices:

• Male/low voices have improved performance.
• More texture for lower voices.
• More power for low and baritone voices.
• Female/high voices have become softer (less energetic).
• Smooth pinna gain makes high voices more “contained”.

Treble:

– Quantitative:

• Moderate to low treble. Slightly recessed.
• Not for Trebleheads (those looking for more treble).
• Region of less presence in the earphone.
• Recommended for those who are sensitive to treble.
• Closer hole eartips reduce treble.

– Qualitative:

• Comfortable, smooth, controlled treble, good extension, good definition.
• Soft sparkle.
• Good detail.
• Not shrill, not sharp, not harsh.
• I didn’t notice sibilance, peaks, or coloration.
• Drum cymbals play controlled.
• Could have more sparkle and energy for some instruments (treble) [subjective].

Soundstage:

• Good soundstage, but not very open sound.
• Good in height and width, average in depth.
• Sound neither spatial nor compact.

Imaging:

• Excellent separation of instruments.
• The good sound definition helps in this regard.
• Good clarity to identify the place of each instrument.

Driver flex test:

• O DX1 não faz o som de driver flex (o “click click”), porém, existe o movimento de contração do driver ao inserir os fones no ouvido.
• For a fraction of a second, the music is interrupted (if the music is already playing and you insert the earphones).
• It is recommended to insert the earphones first and then play the music.

Amplification:

• Easy to push.
• No need for a powerful amplifier.
• A simple dongle is enough.
• I used the DX1 with the FiiO KA11.
• Cable with 3.5mm plug.
• It will play well directly from smartphones or iPads.
• Volume below 20 (of the 100 available on the W10).
