What about the bass quality and quantity ?
jeromeoflaherty
jeromeoflaherty
Well as I mentioned it is transparent with no roll off, which is what you want when you have built in PEQ capabilities.

E.g. this the frequency response:

8926193.bmp


Some of the measurements show a slight roll off of treble > 15K but all bass measurements were 'flat'.

You can add bass with EQ if you want more bass. As for quality, the THX headphone amp is superb, I have listened to older versions of a few other devices and I have no complaints with them or with this device as far as bass quality.

With a flat response like this you can easily do some interestingly with EQ, e.g. you can set the EQ to more easily transform your Headphone Frequency response using a Squig.link measurements.

New Head-Fier
For Moondrop Space Travel in Wireless
Pros: Incredible cheap at $24
ANC and Transparency ( normally not available at this price point)
Mobile App for configuration
3 excellent sounding Profiles (Basshead especially is good)
Cons: ANC mode is ok but not great
Microphone was a bit poor
Case is open by design so might gather dust - Moondrop offer a separate case now
Treble is just average at this price point (if it was an IEM - still very good for a TWS)

1000+ Head-Fier
For Letshuoer Cadenza 4 in Universal Fit
Pros: Very good tuning, well extended, very pleasant, but controlled and smooth at both ends, with a lusty, melodic, musical, balanced and full midrange.
- Good stage levels, sense of openness, separation and depth.
- Very good unboxing experience.
- Great ergonomics and design.
- Excellent cable with three interchangeable terminations.
Cons: The reproduction of pure, very low-frequency tones is not realistic and there is room for improvement, coming from a dynamic driver.
- This is not an analytical set, the micro detail is not the best.
- It can be a very relaxed sound for those looking for more emphasis on bass or treble.
Introduction

In many ways, talking about Letshuoer is like talking about planar IEMS. And although it is true that Shuoer existed before its famous S12, this planar...

Pros: • Balanced sound signature with a bit upper mids boost, really sings with female vocals
• Pianos and guitars strums/plucks are a treat
• Lightweight and comfy despite the somewhat larger-than-average shells
• Nice fit and with good sets of eartips
• Good quality modular cable (3.5mm SE and 4.4mm BAL)
• Best of all, very resolving and impressive technicalities for the price

• Borderline sharp or peaky in the lower treble with some tracks
• Planar or off-natural timbre especially noticeable in busy tracks
