The Shuoer Singer is a dual-driver bullet-shaped In-Ear
Monitor (IEM) that is one of the newest in the brand’s lineup of in-ears. This
blue bullet houses an 8mm dynamic driver and what they call an “electrostatic”
driver, though it’s not a true electrostatic as you’d expect from say Stax or
Shure’s KSE series.
This $75 earphone was sent to me by Linsoul for a review.

The Singer isn’t really that good. I’m just going to throw
that right up front so you can continue on if you want or not. First, the cable
looks nice with it’s copper braid appearance, but in reality, it is a little
janky at times, and tangles easily, for whatever reason. The included cable is
defaulted to 2.5mm on the connector end, which is a little unusual, with a
3.5mm adapter included in the box. This could lead to confusion and trouble for
potential users who do not know what a 2.5mm balanced cable is meant for.
Sound
But the general sound signature is just mediocre in that it’s
too heavily bass and treble directed that it completely scoops out any
semblance of mid-range timbre that everything just sounds strained. It’s
heavily v-shaped, to the point where I really don’t enjoy it. The treble and
upper-midrange sounds shrill and bright, though not necessarily harsh or
sibilant – it just shrieks in a way that doesn’t sound quite right.
The Singer does come with an additional set of filters to slightly
change the tuning. Sticking those on, actually makes these sound worse. With
the blue filter, I found the bass to become overly muddy, and even less
defined, while slightly toning down treble shrillness, albeit lowering resolution
and just creating a bigger mess.
I tried to see how I would appreciate the Singer across
various genres, and I haven’t really found something that I enjoyed with these.
Everything just sounds tonally off to me, and therefore, in this quick review,
I really can not recommend the Singer at all.
