Letshuoer x Gizaudio Galileo Sound
One of the standout features of Galileo headphones is their exceptional clarity and balance. Whether you’re listening to classical music, pop hits, or anything in between, the sound is crisp, detailed, and immersive. The bass is somewhat deep and powerful without being overwhelming, while the treble is clear and bright without any harshness. Midrange is the star of the show.
Bass
The Letshuoer Galileo IEMs have a well-defined and impactful bass response that is suitable for a wide range of music genres. The bass is deep, tight, and well-controlled, without being overpowering or bloated. The Galileo’s bass has excellent extension and sub-bass presence, which results in a satisfying rumble and impact. The mid-bass is also well-balanced and doesn’t bleed into the midrange, allowing for a clear and detailed presentation of vocals and instruments. Overall, the Letshuoer Galileo IEMs offer a well-tuned and dynamic bass response that complements the rest of the frequency range and delivers an enjoyable listening experience.
Midrange
I didn’t find the midrange of the famous person influenced earphone isn’t neglected. Underlined to be exact. This statement is obvious in mid-heavy genres like progressive rock. An average Camel song with flute, keyboard, and guitars. Bass drums and cymbals all sound in unison. The Letshuoer x Gizaudio Galileo IEM have a well-balanced and natural midrange that is clear, detailed, and engaging. The Galileo’s midrange is neither recessed nor forward, which allows for a balanced and accurate presentation of vocals and instruments. The lower midrange has good body and warmth, which results in a natural and realistic presentation of male vocals and instruments like guitars and drums. The upper midrange is well-defined and detailed, which allows for a clear and accurate presentation of female vocals and instruments like pianos and violins. The Galileo’s midrange has good resolution and texture, which allows for a nuanced and dynamic presentation of music. Overall, the Letshuoer Galileo IEM offer a well-tuned and natural midrange that delivers an enjoyable listening experience.
Treble
In short, it’s pretty good. But the treble frequencies of its DD is competent enough to serve both classical, rock, and electronic music equally, as its price tag allows.
In long; It has a well-extended and detailed treble response that adds clarity and sparkle to the overall sound signature. Its treble is well-balanced, without being overly bright or sibilant, which can cause listening fatigue. The upper treble is well-extended, which results in a sense of air and openness, especially in orchestral and classical music. The Galileo’s treble has good resolution and detail retrieval, which allows for a clear and accurate presentation of cymbals, strings, and other high-frequency instruments. Overall, the Letshuoer Galileo IEMs offer a well-tuned and refined treble response that complements the rest of the frequency range and enhances the overall listening experience.
Comparisons
Letshuoer Galileo is an IEM that offers heartwarming sound quality for its price. However, there are several other IEMs priced around $100 that are worth considering, and I will compare Galileo with three of them.
- Final Audio E3000: The Final Audio E3000 is a popular pair of IEMs priced around $60. These IEMs are known for their warm and smooth sound signature, with a slight emphasis on the midrange. In comparison to the Galileo, the Final Audio E3000 offers a more laid-back and relaxed sound, with less emphasis on bass and treble. However, the E3000’s build quality is not as sturdy as the Galileo’s and they don’t offer as many features.
- FiiO FH1s: The FiiO FH1s is a hybrid IEM that combines a dynamic driver and a balanced armature driver to deliver a well-rounded and balanced sound signature. Priced around $80, the FH1s offers a more balanced and accurate sound signature than Galileo, with less emphasis on bass and more emphasis on clarity and detail. However, the Galileo offers a wider soundstage and better separation between instruments.
- BLON BL-03: The BLON BL-03 is a budget-friendly IEM priced around $30 that has gained a cult following for its excellent sound quality. These IEMs have a warm and balanced sound signature, with a strong emphasis on bass. Compared to Galileo, the BL-03 offers a more laid-back and smooth sound signature, with less emphasis on treble and a narrower soundstage. However, the BL-03 is a great value for the price and offers a good alternative for those on a tight budget.
Where to Buy
