Letshuoer Cadenza 4 Review
Letshuoer has been on a roll the last couple of years, releasing multiple popular IEMs for different types of listeners. Most recently, we took a look at its S15 planar magnetic IEMs and found it to be one of the hands-down best planars you can buy under $500. Before that, it was the S12 and the Tape Pro. Today, we have its latest release, the Cadenza 4.
The Cadenza 4 is the little brother to the Letshuoer Cadenza 12, a $2,100 set of hybrid IEMs that, while highly regarded, are simply out of reach for most listeners. This new release comes to market with a much more accessible $229 price point. It’s designed to deliver a reference sound, complete with a deep sub-bass rumble and plenty of detail higher in the spectrum. With some smart scale backs, it delivers an impressive sound that puts it right alongside the AFUL Performer 5 as one of the best picks in this price range.

Inside the case, you’ll find a plastic ring with small, medium, and large eartips in balanced and vocal variations. Beneath this is the cable itself, which is very nice. It’s made of high-purity silver-plated monocrystalline copper and connects to the earphones with a
