Overview

The Letshuoer DZ4 is an in-ear monitor featuring a configuration of three 6mm titanium dome dynamic drivers plus one R-Sonic passive filtering module. Official store listing shows a regular price of 88 USD with periodic discounts (review uses regular price for evaluation) [1]. The DZ4 employs a four-way acoustic tube design with a two-way crossover. The chassis combines a 3D-printed resin shell and a CNC-milled anodized aluminum faceplate; the stock cable is a 4-core silver-plated copper cable with 0.78mm dual-pin connectors [1].

Scientific Validity

\[\Large \text{0.5}\]

Available independent frequency-response data confirms DZ4’s tuning deviates from strict neutrality, with a sub-bass lift and non-flat upper-mids/treble relative to common references [2]. Manufacturer-facing specifications such as published bandwidth (20Hz–40kHz) exist, but independent distortion and other lab data (THD/IMD/SNR) are not provided by reputable labs as of the review date. In short, there is measurable data for FR yet no evidence of exceptional transparency across broader metrics. The triple-DD plus passive module configuration does not show clear measurement advantages versus good single-DD sets at lower prices.

Technology Level

\[\Large \text{0.6}\]

The DZ4 incorporates a multi-driver dynamic array plus a passive filtering module and four-way acoustic tubing, which is an above-average design effort for the segment. Materials (CNC-milled anodized aluminum faceplate, 3D-printed resin shell, silver-plated copper cable) are appropriate [1]. However, without independent evidence of lowered distortion or superior FR linearity over simpler designs, the technology appears more ambitious than outcome-effective.

Cost-Performance

\[\Large \text{0.3}\]

Using the regular official price (88 USD) as the review basis [1] and the cheapest equivalent-or-better comparator observed in the US market, 7Hz Salnotes Zero at 20.69 USD [5], cost-performance is low. CP = 20.69 USD ÷ 88 USD ≈ 0.24, rounded to 0.3. For reference, Moondrop Chu II is 22.99 USD [3]. Given comparable or better measured FR and widely validated performance for these alternatives, DZ4’s multi-driver complexity does not translate into a better value.

Reliability & Support

\[\Large \text{0.6}\]

Letshuoer provides a standard 1-year warranty and global sales channels [1]. The detachable 0.78mm 2-pin cable aids serviceability. The resin/aluminum construction suggests adequate durability for typical use. Complexity of the internal array may add potential failure points versus simpler single-DD designs. As a passive analog product, no firmware considerations apply.

Rationality of Design Philosophy

\[\Large \text{0.7}\]

There is a rational attempt to achieve broad-band output and tuning flexibility via multi-DD plus passive filtering. Yet, absent corroborating third-party measurements demonstrating audibly superior transparency (e.g., lower THD, flatter FR), complexity appears to exceed realized benefits. Prioritizing measurable outcomes over driver count would likely yield better efficiency and value.

Advice

Hard to recommend at its regular price given cheaper peers with strong measurements. Consider Moondrop Chu II (22.99 USD) for neutral-leaning tuning or 7Hz Salnotes Zero (22.99 USD) for a bright, detailed tilt [3][4]. DZ4’s distinctive construction may appeal aesthetically, but evidence does not show acoustic advantages commensurate with price.
