Generation & platform

Same generation

Letshuoer S12 Ultra (2025) against Ziigaat Doscinco (2024). These are the same generation of hardware - nothing in the radio, the codecs or the noise cancelling separates them. Nothing separates them on convenience features either, so the choice comes down to tuning and price.

What reviewers said

Letshuoer S12 Ultra

The Letshuoer S12 Ultra is a wired in-ear monitor built around a single 14.8mm planar magnetic driver housed in a lightweight aluminum shell. It delivers the signature planar sound of the S12 line—fast, detailed, and punchy—in a refreshed design aimed at hi-fi enthusiasts. With a low 16-ohm impedance, it pairs easily with most sources, though it lacks any active noise cancellation.

  • Pro:Fast, detailed planar sound with strong dynamics
  • Pro:Lightweight and sturdy aluminum-alloy build
  • Pro:Easy to drive thanks to low impedance
  • Con:No noise cancellation or isolation features
  • Con:Planar timbre may not suit all listeners
  • Con:Cable and accessories are basic for the price

Ziigaat Doscinco

The Ziigaat Doscinco is a bass-forward hybrid IEM that delivers substantial low-end punch and warmth while retaining enough treble energy to avoid sounding overly dark. It offers solid technical performance for its price point, though its tuning prioritizes impact and musicality over ultimate clarity or airiness. This makes it a great pick for listeners who enjoy a lively, engaging sound signature rather than a reference-neutral one.

  • Pro:Powerful, deep sub-bass and impactful mid-bass
  • Pro:Warm, rich lower mids that add body to vocals
  • Pro:Good treble extension that prevents a dull presentation
  • Con:Not the most resolving or separated soundstage in its class
  • Con:Treble rolls off early, limiting openness and sparkle
  • Con:Bass-heavy tuning may overwhelm fans of neutral or balanced sound
