LETSHUOER EJ07M - A Universal Favorite

PACKAGING

The packaging of the LETSHUOER EJ07M is quite large for an in-ear monitor, while its inclusions have the basics. Inside the box, you'll find a top-tier protective case, an assortment of 6 pairs of eartips, 3 pairs of memory foam tips, the cables, and, of course, the core IEM itself – the EJ07M driver.

BUILD QUALITY

In terms of build quality, I'm impressed by the EJ07M's lightweight design and its captivating color scheme, which adds a pleasing aesthetic touch. It has a recessed 2-pin which adds more durability to the pins. The included eartips and cables come across as somewhat cheap. On a positive note, the case displays a robust and high-quality appearance.

The Letshuoer EJ07M showcases a tribrid configuraton, incorporating a 10mm dynamic driver to manage the lower frequencies. The midrange and high-end is managed by Sonion drivers. And as we know, Sonion drivers are often found on mid-range to high-end products which really speaks for EJ07M's quality.

SOUND

The sound profile of the EJ07M offers a well-balanced sound signature, adhering to the Harman target. 

BASS 

The EJ07M boasts a well-balanced bass presentation with commendable coherency. While a subtle midbass thump is noticeable, it has a nuanced and polished texture  rather than an overwhelming impact. The sub-bass has  substantial depth and satisfying thickness. This quality contributes a weighty feel to the bass when required, yet it can also recede when not necessary due to the reduced emphasis on midbass frequencies.

MIDS

The midrange exhibits a subtle recession, which in turn provides a warm and authentically natural midrange presentation, albeit at the expense of some intricate details. Vocals possess a euphonic quality and boast a notably rich texture. The upper-midrange frequencies have a safe tuning, preventing upper-pitched vocals from sounding overly sharp. This tempers the prominence of instruments, resulting in a lack of excessive brilliance. Notably, the absence of an aggressive bite in elements like trumpets and vocals can lead to slightly underwhelming execution. Overall, this lack of details on the midrange doesn't bother me that much since I like my midrange leaning to a natural and euphonic sonic profile rather than a forward and detailed one.

TREBLE 

As the EJ07M closely resembles the Harman tuning, its treble is toned down to provide an enjoyable and more restrained treble response, all while maintaining a sense of definition. This measured approach leads to a gentle and soothing treble that avoids any harshness or edginess. This lack of emphasis result in a certain softness and bluntness to the treble. Instruments present in the treble experience a lack in shimmer and energy sometimes making some tracks focused on cymbals, trumpets, and piano sounding dull and lacking a bit of definition.

TECHNICALITIES

Turning to the technical aspects, the EJ07M showcases an above-average soundstage. This spatial quality is marked by expansive dimensions in both width and height. Impressively, the imaging capabilities of this midrange in-ear monitor stand out, offering remarkable precision and accuracy in rendering the arrangement and positioning of instruments across the soundstage. The imaging possesses a sense of fluidity and remains unburdened by any sensation of compression, allowing it to unfold freely.

TEST TRACKS

CONCLUSION

Pros:

• Excellent, balanced sounding in-ear monitor that caters majority of listeners
• Has a good aesthetic appeal
• Easy to drive
• Imaging is excellent
• Excellent packaging
• Safely-tuned treble

Cons:

• Not for bass heads and trebleheads
• A modular cable could be a good addition for more flexibility

Purchasing the EJ07M at a price point of $600 might be considered a daring leap, especially without prior audition, but I can offer some reassurance that its tuning is quite safe and versatile, catering to a broad range of listeners. However, it might not be the best fit for bass enthusiasts or those seeking an exuberantly energetic treble. In terms of sound quality, packaging, and build, the EJ07M appears to be a solid choice. LETSHUOUER has presented several products that have garnered my approval, and the EJ07M seems poised to join their ranks. Also, there are some that I also disliked, ehem D13.
