Disclaimer: Please note that I am not an audiophile, and this review does not delve into the technical aspects of the IEMs. My impressions are based on my personal preferences, and others may have different experiences with this product. I also have a very limited experience with audio products so please take this review with a grain of salt.
The Letshuoer DZ4 was lent to me as part of a review tour in the Philippines.
Pros
- Great build quality!
- Bass and Details are ok-ish
- Not fatiguing to use, very comfortable for me
- Nice cable and lots of eartips are always appreciated
Cons
- Soundstage is unremarkable
- The mids sound a little too high for me
- Carrying case is not really great for carrying, but is great for storage
General Product Details
Package Inclusions
- IEM shells & cable
- Carry case
- 6 pairs of eartips
The IEM Shells
- The shell body is made of a flesh-colored plastic. The plastic does not feel cheap. The faceplate is made of a rose gold-ish colored metal with a lightning bolt-like opening (a stylized “z” perhaps?), revealing an orange mesh inside.
- The earpieces weigh ~5.2g. They don’t feel heavy despite being about 2g heavier than my daily drivers
The Cable
- The cable is pretty good! It doesn’t feel cheap at all, and is wound and braided very well. There are no kinks or bends to it and does not tangle easily. It has a straight 3.5mm jack at the end.
- The cable has a Letshuoer-branded cable tie near the jack. Though is nifty, I wouldn’t want to use it as it keeps getting caught on my deskmat, pulling out the stitches. It’s a good thing it is removable.
The Carrying Case
- The carrying case is a small round cylinder with a twist-to-open lid. The lid has the name logo of Letshuoer front and center.
- The carrying case is made of a matte plastic covering material that is prone to marks, so you have to be careful or you might scratch it easily.
- It is also very bulky as a carrying case, weighing at 76g and has a dimensions of 8cm x 8cm x 3.5cm. I think it would be better called a storage case
Subjective Review
- It fits perfectly, even a millimeter more and it would become too tight for my ear canals.
- I can definitely use these for long periods of time without being fatigued easily
Sound Impressions
- There’s some soundstage in the DZ4, but not enough to give you taht “airy” feeling, or immersive experience
- The tuning seems to be brighter, good for vocal tracks but I’m not really a fan for this sort of tuning.
- I need to bring up my volume higher than normal to get a good bass rumble, but when it’s there, it’s good.
Final Thoughts
The DZ4 is an okay IEM for its price. It
gives great value with its good quality
build, carrying case, and the freebie
tips.
Will I buy the DZ4? Frankly, no. While
I’ve only tried listening to a limited
number of IEMs, I’m pretty sure the DZ4
has a lot of competition in the same price
range that will fit my preferences. Still,
I think it will fit many other peoples'
preferences so this still gets some high
points from me.
Besides, after coming from the Project M
and Pilgrim, it definitely made me want to
hear more of those kinds of IEMs. 🤣
PS: Thanks for the free candy! 😂
