Value and Conclusion

  • Fantastic example of mainstream tuning done right
  • Extremely tight reference-like tuning with four electrostatic tweeters to complement the dynamic driver and two balanced armatures
  • Bass heavy for those who want it, with plenty of slam and energy
  • Extended mid-range helps with clear tonal separation, as well as instrument distinction
  • Treble range allows all instruments to shine
  • Excellent transitions from bass to mids to highs
  • Incredible consistency between both channels
  • In-ear response basically identical to the artificial ear audio coupler
  • Easy enough to drive with portable hardware
  • Very comfortable to wear with average-sized ear
  • Well-built, functional carry case
  • Multiple sizes and types of silicone and foam ear tips included
  • Custom IEM version available
  • Fairly expensive for IEMs in general
  • Technical performance could be improved
  • Male vocals take a step back to instruments
  • Treble response can be bright for some
  • Fit with the cable found wanting
Unsurprisingly, readers who have gone through the whole review will know I ended up quite liking the LETSHUOER EJ07M; there is much to like even from the get-go, with a rich accessory collection, good build quality with two designs to choose from for the universal version, and a different take on the tribrid formula that makes for the most bass-emphasized set that still ends up fairly balanced and, frankly, just fun to listen to. The icing on the cake is the EJ07M costing quite a bit less than the other two reviewed tribrids, as it can be had for $550, or even less at times to where pricing is really closer to the entry-level for tribrids than the more premium tier the ThieAudio Monarch and XENNS UP occupy. This is purely a price-based distinction since the EJ07M punches above its weight in more ways than one to where I feel it offers more bang for the buck than the other two, including just about any other $500–800 set I have listened to thus far.

The bass response is more than I'd personally like, which reminds me that I did not even mention how well it scales with EQ in the list of positives above, especially given the more complex driver structure inside. There is a lot to see there already, and the cons are definitely outnumbered, and outweighed in importance. This is even before upcoming features for EJ07M, of which one has been announced already in the form of a special collaboration edition with HBB/BGGAR, whom we saw before with the Tripowin Olina, that has a different tuning and aesthetic compared to the regular EJ07M versions, and the other still remains unannounced at this point. Okay, fine, let me also mention that EQ won't have to be complicated or even manually done once one of these upcoming features is rolled out. LETSHUOER may be in the midst of a rebranding exercise including some unnecessary marketing phrases, but the company seems to have its head on straight when it comes to delivering a good customer experience. For the overall positive experience at a decent price compared to the audio experience provided, I am happy to recommend the LETSHUOER EJ07M. Now just get the other features up and running, and use your marketing budget better from now on out!
