    Letshouer made a silent revision and the new models have male and female posts inside that are glued together making them extremely difficult to open. I'm working on having a custom tool made, but I need backups of the old version for myself. I really love them.

    Must be ideally at least 8 months old. Let me know.

    Thanks!

    If you want a pair to mod and send out on a loaner tour, you'd be welcome to use mine. I'd love to have them back, though, at the end of the tour (and of course I'd cover your modding cost). The only issue is that I didn't pay attention when I bought them and they came with a 4.4mm jack. I switched it out for an aftermarket Dunu cable, an affordable one, that has the nifty adapter so folks can add different plugs to the cable. I can include both cables and all the plugs I've got.

    Thanks, I'll send you a pm. You wouldn't need to send your cables, I have my own custom aftermarket cables for them and plenty of stock tips, so I'd just need the iems.

    I'd still like to buy a few pairs though if anyone has a pair to sell.

    Edit: sorry, I was tired after a long day when posting the above link and forgot about the revision rhythmdevils mentioned being silent. I was thinking instead, mistakenly, of the S12 Pro. Sorry, disregard the above link.

    Yup, Whitney wants to have sufficient pairs for experimentation and backups. I only bump these when he comes back from the dead and asks me to.

    Just ordered a set. Are you looking specifically to purchase older models to modify or units in-general to modify for resale? I'm going to assume that today's purchase from Amazon might not be what you are looking for. (good deal right now it seems)

    I see notes for front and back vent covering. I might need to experiment with micropore. Any tip recommendations? I have a strange Bose set that I've been using with the LCD-i4. Has a earhook 'built-in'

    Whitney is only interested in the older version (there was a silent revision that doesn't impact sound) from late 2022 or earlier.

    Hey s12 buddies, did you guys ever do a loaner of the original modded s12s? I recently bought a pair of S12pro, these punch way above the asking price, really small and comfy as well. Really surprised how much I like them, bet the RA version is killer.

    No, a loaner hasn’t happened yet, the process for doing the mod hasn’t been finalized. Whitney does love how capable these drivers are.

    I did find that 3M micropore over 1/2 the driver spout does a nice job of balancing things out. I still use eq to pull some of the midbass out. Curious what kind of drillin', bufflin' and flufflin' is done inside the S12 to really balance them to a TOTL earphone.

    Don't forget I still have a pair of yours. I haven't managed an elegant way to open them yet (life has really gotten in the way). I can always send them back if you want.

    I got the mod finalized and ordered custom cases and cables to sell with them and then Letshuoer made a silent revision and added male/femail posts inside the shell instead of just gluing around the outside. It's a really strong hold, as if they wanted to prevent them from being opened EVER. FOR ETERNITY. I've tried everything I can think of to open the new revision and I've sent pairs to multiple really smart, clever people to try to figure out a way and I haven't figured out a way yet.

    So I'm kind of dead in the water with this one. Really sad because these are some of my favorite headphones ever made (my modded version). Good enough for the Stellaris, which I'm currently listening to them with. the micropore tape mod takes. them like 5% of the way to my modded version.

    And I made a bulk order of a lot of pairs before realizing they revised them and so I have all these un-openable S-12's here.

    I'm really sad I can't share them with you all. :(

    I still might try to get Letshuoer to sell me pairs that have the shells open still. But I doubt they will, they showed little interest before when I reached out about a collaboration. They have no idea how capable these are.
