Generation & platform
The scores rank quality. This is the other question: is the newer one actually newer technology, or the same platform in a new shell?
Same generation
The Twistura Woodnote is 3 years newer, but it is 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. For 3 years between them, that is a thin return - treat this as a restyle rather than a new platform.

What reviewers said
Letshuoer S12
The Letshuoer S12 is a wired planar magnetic IEM that delivers impressive detail, punchy bass, and strong technical performance for its price point. Its tuning leans bright, which enhances clarity but may be too intense for treble-sensitive listeners, and it benefits from a good source and proper eartips to shine. Overall, it's a capable, energetic earphone that offers excellent value under $200, though its soundstage is modest and vocals can come across as slightly lean.
- Pro:Excellent resolution and note definition
- Pro:Tight, well-defined bass response
- Pro:Energetic and engaging tuning
- Con:Bright treble can be fatiguing for some
- Con:Vocals may sound a bit thin or lean
- Con:Average soundstage width
Twistura Woodnote
The Twistura Woodnote is a wired single-dynamic-driver IEM that delivers a warm, natural, and musical sound while remaining technically capable, with particularly strong imaging. Its standout feature is an interchangeable nozzle system that lets listeners shift the tuning from bass-heavy to a cleaner, more treble-focused profile, adding versatility. With excellent build quality, comfort, and a generous accessory set, it presents a compelling value for around $160.
- Pro:Versatile tuning via interchangeable nozzles and ear tips
- Pro:Warm, engaging, and natural sound with good detail retrieval
- Pro:Excellent build quality and comfortable fit
- Con:No active noise cancellation, so isolation depends entirely on fit and tips
- Con:Stock tuning may be too warm for those seeking a neutral or bright signature
- Con:Requires tip rolling or nozzle swapping to fully unlock its potential
