- Please take this review with only a grain of salt, as everyone's hearing, fit, and gears may differ, so our experience may be different.
Price(MSRP)
- $669.99
- It is fairly easy to drive
- Even on the JM6 Pro, I only 30-40% volume at most. However, I do think that it is best to pair it with a more neutral source to tighten up the bass instead of a warm source, so I usually use it with W3 II.

Unboxing and Review Video
Packaging
- Letshuoer EJ07M
- Metal storage case
- Feels extremely premium but also very heavy
- Good for storing in a collection but not practical to carry around
- Wide selection of ear tips.
- 3 pairs of generic silicone ear tips (S, M, L)
- Looks and feels like a 07 clone, which are pretty decent.
- 3 pairs of softer silicone ear tips (S, M, L)
- These actually feel quite nice. Smooth and soft.
- 3 pairs of memory foam tips
- High-purity, silver-plated OFC cable
- Probably one of the worst cables I have used.
- They feel fine but totally unacceptable for a product of this tier.
- Uncomfortably small and tight ear hooks, I can't fit the EJ07M AT ALL with the stock cable.
- Cleaning brush
Build Quality
Fit
Tonality
- Build quality is excellent for the price, completely made out of metal, but not heavy at all.
Fit
- Nozzle is very short and wide. Stubby.
- It is overall quite lightweight, and the shell is not that huge considering that this is a tribrid.
- Fits ... surprisingly well for me, especially with Dunu's S&S tips. Very comfortable.
- Only very slight pressure build up for me, without driver flex.
- However, 90% of the people I know who tried the EJ07M complained about major driver flex, fit, and pressure issues.
Resin
- However, most of the fit issues can be mitigated if you select the resin option while buying.
- Even if you already own a pair of metal shell version of it, you can still contact them to send back for them to do it for an extra $150-160.
- Changes for universal resin shells:
- Longer nozzle (More comfortable fit)
- Better venting (Less driver flex and pressure build up)
- However, sound may change slightly due to better fit
- For me, I noticed a even more tamed treble response due to the deeper fit.
- Below are a few examples from my friend's units!
Tonality
- Sub bass boosted neutral
Bass
- Sub bass quantity is noticeably more than mid bass, by quite a huge margin.
- Very rumbly.
- Goes very deep and sounds very thick.
- Thumps and slams are present but isn't dominant.
- Very well controlled and well textured, with decent speed and tightness.
- Transition into midrange is very smooth, no bass tuck is audible to my ears unlike the Chopin or Variations.
- Quantity is a little more than average, fun but not overpowering at all.
- Overall, the bass is very satisfying and fun to listen to, but I would just like to have a little bit more balance between the sub bass and the mid bass.
Midrange
- Lower midrange is weighted yet remains clean and clear.
- Male vocals and instruments in the lower midrange sounds full bodied and has excellent clarity.
- Upper midrange is perfect, slightly relaxing yet it has enough energy to pop out of the mix.
- Female vocals are not overly forward or recessed, the position and distance is just perfect to me.
- Never gets shouty at all, yet it never really stays at the background, absolute star of the show.
- Overall, the midrange performance of the EJ07M is excellent.
- Very well balanced from the lower midrange to the upper midrange.
- Perfect amount and synergy of everything, such as clarity, heft, and energy.
Treble
- Treble is neutral to my ears, not bright nor dark.
- However, since I'm a little sensitive to treble, I can see this to be on the slightly darker side if you prefer brighter treble.
- It has a very smooth presentation, without any audible peaks to me.
- Treble extension is done very well too, airy yet without sounding artificial at all.
- Details can be perceived very easily due to how smooth and well extended the treble is.
- Overall, the treble is just as impressive, ticking every box in my book.
Technicalities/Others
- Resolution and detail retrieval is great.
- It is actually quite impressive that they are able to achieve this level of resolution without boosting the treble region for "artificial details".
- Soundstage has a rather average width with decent depth.
- However, it is very immersive and realistic to me.
- Imaging and accuracy is excellent.
- Holographic 3D imaging with pinpoint accuracy.
- Separation and layering is impressive as well, instruments and vocals are separated and spaced out very nicely. Never congested no matter how busy the track gets.
- Note weight is adequate, a little weighted but not overbearingly thick or thin at all.
- Timbre is good. Natural without any oddities in any way but not the most impressive aspect of the EJ07M.
Conclusion
- As a conclusion, The Letshuoer EJ07M is definitely an endgame worthy set to me.
- It has a very pleasant, balanced and versatile tonality, pairing with top of the line technicalities.
- Extremely hard for me to nitpick since everything is so well balanced and well done.
- However, I do hear many people complaining about the fit and comfort, which is caused by the inefficient venting and short nozzle, but personally I didn't encounter any of the issues.
Thanks for reading!
