Another day …another IEM. I can’t believe how many different IEM’s I’ve gone through and probably aren’t done. The failure of the Blessing 2 Dusk drivers really has put me on this weird search for a successor but one that is cheaper in cost and yet equal in performance or better. Now, normally this wouldn’t be something that one could accomplish but with the ever-growing IEM technology and advancements that have hit in the last couple of years, this is possible. Things like the Aful Performer 5 has really made a lot of head turns. Things like the Final Audio A5000 have redefined sound staging. And today a new player on the field has entered from space, the Letshuoer Galileo. This is yet another Hybrid entering the market but this time this Hybrid gorgeous beast is not the typical $200-$300 asking price. This beast is only $100 bucks. It’s a IEM that was a collaboration with Gizaudio who is a IEM Tech reviewer on Youtube and Letshuoer. If that creates in deja vu, it should. The last time this was done it was with Crinnicle and that IEM turned out to be one of the most successful IEMs of all time.
So what’s so different about this one. Well the graph shows you that this is one of the straightest, none peaking frequency responses you have ever seen. This means smoothness with zero harsh tones anywhere. That means you won’t get spikes and unpleasant treble areas in your music. And based on the mid range curve into the treble this also means you will get realistic vocals and timbre. And this I can absolutely confirm. It is the best vocals I’ve ever experienced. It is literally on par with my experiences in vocals with the 600 series of headphones by Sennheiser but in an earphone. The neutral frequency also guarantees no bass bleeds and natural neutral sub bass and bass hits that are in sync with the music instead of trying to be the music.
And if that isn’t enough…let me clear the most important part to this up. Yes, my goodness, yes it’s comfortable and can be worn all day. It has venting so you don’t have to worry about pressure building up inside your ears or head. And the size of the IEM doesn’t require a tube of lube to insert them inside your ear hole. They fit in without pulling your ear apart and they disappear. And the cable it comes with is really nice and plays well with the IEM without microphonics, memory, or any other issues that frustrate you with wires.
And so comes the moment that always happens. I return the AFul performer 5 in favor of this IEM, which is $100 cheaper and performs better in most areas that are important to me… vocals, sub-bass, balance, and mids. But the performer 5 is still a great IEM. I only ended up here because once again, leave it to me to find the unit that doesn’t have balanced drivers and the centering is off. So that led to me looking for another IEM that could get me close to the same performance until my replacement Blessing 2 come in. What I didn’t expect was that these would be overall better across the board over the Performer 5 for the things I look for. The real question now is what will happen once the Blessing 2 arrives to battle this mere $100 IEM? Can it beat the Galileo’s vocals, timbre, sub-bass, and neutral balance?
