Pros: Balanced soundsig
Non-fatiguing
Cons: Timbre may not be for everyone's liking (something like acquired taste)
Hello, this is gonna be my first review in here.

Beforehand, I wanna say many thanks for all parties involved, which is LetShuoer, Hifigo, and lastly my fav reviewers, Zeos. This unit in particular was given to me as a prize from Hifigo x Z-Reviews' last month Giveaway, I am one of the three lucky ones who was chosen.

My unit is not numbered, instead engraved with my name/initials that is DER, so I believe mine is more limited lol 😂

Build Quality:

I've had S12, and these are basically has the same build quality as it's original- top-notch metal shells with anodized blue color for the Left bud & red for the Right bud. Unlike its original, Z12 really does well on standing out lol 😂

For comfort, I love the comfort it brings for my ears, tell you, my ears cavities are tiny, and yet these seemingly bulky looking IEMs are soooo nice to put on, non-fatiguing and it doesn't hurt my ears if used prolonged. Furthermore paired with its stock foam tips, feels like nonexistent lol

Also, the stock cable, man, this one is definitely is the most beautiful sturdy looking of a cable.

Sound Quality:

I'm sucks at describing sound, so let's just say that it has the most balanced sound from all collections (which I really appreciate), I currently have LetShuoer D13 & BIE Pro which is BASSHEAD Monster, and here's this one, just pleasing for my ears, I do enjoy good planars like these~

Oh yeah, I drive it using my good ol' VE Odyssey HD (OHD) dongle dac, but this supposedly "planar is hard to drive" Z12 is really easy-to-drive, so don't worry if you don't have any dedicated stack of dac-amp, you can just plug it directly from your phone/computer and u're good to go!!

Conclusions:

There's no reason for me to hate this beautiful piece of an IEMs.

Let me say this again, I am very thankful for this, I hope for the best for all the parties involved, especially Zeos.

Personal note: I hope Zeos' future collab will feature some waifus 🤣

@aptquark Very sorry for the late reply, I guess so, but sadly I can't exactly confirm it since I've never compare S12 and Z12 myself.

I just want an IEM similar to the LCD-2Cs and this sounds like the best fit!

@itwasluck This or you can consider the newer release planar IEMs that have similar soundsig & technicalities as this one, Tangzu Wu Zetian, this and WuZe is very very similar (IMO).
